    Catch of the day
    Gerry V.

    We ate here two times for breakfast, two times for lunch, & once for dinner and almost everything we tried was pretty good. The Benedict w/salmon, the bagel, with goat cheese & salmon were very tasty. We also enjoyed the guacamole, ceviche appetizers the only appetizer we not wild about was the Crema de Elote. The Lido Burger was very juicy & well seasoned & I loved the Octopus tacos. For dinner we shared the catch of the day fish & it was very tasty. Great place on the beach to have drinks & food.

    GREAT VIBE AND MUSIC. BEST BEACH VIEW.

    Highly recommend!! Great vibe and ambiance. I was here when they had a band. Good music and view of the sea. Great staff. Overall good experience.

    This is another great restaurant based on its location on the beach. It's always amazing to be able to have your toes in the sand while you eat. We started out with drinks. I got a drink that I can't remember the name of but it's served in a fresh coconut. it was OK, but looked amazing. For starters, we got calamari which was average. I got the Lido shrimp, which were really good in my opinion. My daughter got the salmon and my wife got the chicken fajitas. We were all very satisfied with our meals. Of course you're going to pay a little more being on the beach but it's the experience that's costing you the money. It is well worth it. Service is on point. Recommended by me.

    I can't speak on the food, I only had drinks. The cocktails were cute but I tasted no liquor. The view is nice, right on the beach. They have plenty of seating. The bar area has swings. The band playing was really good. Service could've been more timely, they come out to the beach chairs area. I wouldn't buy drinks here again.

    Get the shrimp wrapped bacon! It was really flavorful, who doesn't like bacon! The ceviche here was like more of a sour soup and not so great. It was a plus they brought chips and different salsas for free- most places do not provide that. The ambiance is great they have swings at the bar and it's on the beach. Note: if you want quick service this is not the spot for you. They are on beach time!!

    Perfect spot... the food was delicious and there are plenty of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options! They have a decent drink menu and then some chairs settled out in front of the beach to enjoy after you're done eating (or during).

    Coconut kebab (which is not really kebab, it's just coconut shrimps)

    I wish I could give more stars, cause the food was really spectacular and tasty. The view is also amazing, the restaurant is located right on the beach. BUT the service was just extremely horrible, our waitress Karen was extremely rude, bitter and disrespectful. Will not come back just because of the service.

    Calamari, fish, potatoes, and chicken. Very good bar snack

    Love the live band. Such a cute place walking up. Staff is friendly, great drinks, and we had light appetizers which were really good. Swings at the bar are really cute. Pics of the food attached

    We wasted away some time playing cards on the beach with lattes and smoothie.

    Food is solid. There are a ton of vegan and veggie options. Coffee was great. Lattes in Mexico can easily be coffee, sorry but there's a difference. Lido's lattes were jamming. I'm in Mexico so I want Mexican food and ordered the octopus tacos and although I feel terrible about eating such a smart animal, it was delicious and fresh!! This is a word to the wise for anyone who has a nut allergy and visits Mexico. They often put peanuts in some of their hotter salsas. So always ask. Although we were in Mexico, my kids ordered American food and they were all really happy. The worst part of the meal was my kids bickering over the foot space under the table. But they will fight about anything. I'm proud of myself for not running into the ocean. They can be maddening! But I digress. This spot is all about the view. We were visiting Playa during peak season of spring break. We basically got right in. We were sat immediately at the table, closest to the water. They give you lots of time to just sit here and chill. The service is slow, but it doesn't matter because you're literally sitting feet away from the ocean. Would definitely visit this spot again. And also has some cute backdrops for pictures.

    Coconut shrimp, and cubed tuna with mango are amazing. So are the homemade tortilla chips. Sit on the beach in a lounge chair and eat.

    Server barely checked on us (maybe because we were black) and we constantly had to reach out to other servers for assistance.

    Came here on a Wednesday night and they were packed. Thankfully, we managed to snag a table even…read morewithout a reservation but the service was pretty slow the whole night. I guess they weren't prepared for it to be this busy on a Wednesday night. The food was all really good, except for the fish. It was grilled well but tasted a bit dry. Only the top of the fish that was covered in sauce had flavor but it didn't seep through to the bottom of the fish. I recommend getting the Seafood Ceviche because they make it with coconut milk, which was different from all the other ceviches we had on our trip. Other than the slow service, this was a good experience. Seafood Ceviche 9/10 Crispy Jumbo Shrimps 9/10 Soft Shell Crab Taco 9/10 Fresh Catch of the Day (half garlic butter, half ictio) 7/10

Then came the whole fried fish -- crispy, golden, incredibly fresh, and topped with fresh onions, cilantro, jalapeños, and a charred lime on the side. It was so delicious I could barely put my fork down! The owner himself came out to check on us -- so kind, humble, and genuinely passionate about his food. Everything is made with the freshest local ingredients, and it shows in every bite. The flavors are bright, authentic, and unforgettable. ICTIO is an absolute must. This is the kind of meal you'll remember and tell everyone about.
