We were in Ixtapa for a 8 day vacation. On our 6th day we decided we wanted to stay close to the…read moreCondo we were staying at (Bayview Grand Marina). We had researched the area on our Mapquest and found El Galeon. We went to their website ( which brought us to YELP) where we found they were rated 4.7 out of 5 stars. (The lone "2/3" star came from someone who stated that she had lasagna which was cold but the service fixed the issue after what she felt was a long time) All the other ratings were 5/5 star with many mentions of Francisco who was their waiter.( more of Francisco later). The walk was a 6 min walk from our condo, so we decided we would make El Galeon our evening dining experience. We approached the entrance just off the Mariana where we were met by none other than Francisco himself. He greeted us with smiles and in a very polite and friendly voice he asked if we had made reservations ( we had not) he took us to a very nice table where my wife and I sat comfortably awaiting menus. I made mention to Francisco as to the reviews that brought us to El Galeon with many making mention specifically to him and his great service. He was surprised in hearing people had mentioned him directly and was appreciative.. he lived up to the reviews, the food was amazing (we had shrimp cocktail to start, margaritas and wine to quench our thirst and for the main entrees my wife had pomodoro and I had fettuccini Alfredo.) large portions served with garlic toast. DELICIOUS! Highly recommend!

We always schedule one sunset dinner at El Faro when staying at the Pacifica Resort in Ixtapa. I…read morebelieve they do serve breakfast, but their sunset dinners are the best (IMHO) as the sun sets right over the bay, and because El Faro is located at the highest area of the resort, the views are spectacular. During the winter season, you may even see whales! The menu does rotate, and they specialize in local fish options. Do check out their salads. The grilled watermelon salad was delicious. They have a full bar, but we noted that it's best to keep your order uncomplicated. Service is excellent, and they will accommodate special requests. Reservations are recommended, but we have never had an issue as walk ins.

We started with margaritas on the rocks no salt. We did not get the tourist pour for sure. Halfway through we were both tripping the light fantastic. We both enjoyed their chips and dipping sauces as we waited for our entrees. Hats off to our server who when asked if he recommended the ceviche a quick negative nod steered us away. I ordered el pastor tacos with seasoned mahi mahi fish. I was on the fence about this dish but man was it good. Nothing like fresh fish and homemade tortillas! Plus one ordered beef enchiladas and she exclaimed these were the best she ever had. I tried them and they did have a little spice to them but they were darn good. For dessert we asked for a smooth sipping tequila (don't judge we were on beach time) and a beer to split. This reasonably priced local resposado was as smooth as a baby's behind. Service was attentive throughout and we had a great conversation with our server regarding the town. What a nice way to while away an afternoon on their patio.

The patio area seating is encircled with plant barrier to keep you away from general viewing and is quite cute. The menu is a variety of items from French, Italian dishes all look to be good and a good wine selection. This evening I went with the clam linguine's and a glass of Italian Pinot Noir from a fresh opened bottle. You definitely get your money's worth on the linguine. The only drawback is sometimes there are cats that come around so that maybe a turn off for some folks other maybe not so much. Regardless, its definitely a place to add to your list of places to eat here in Ixtapa.

We had long night of lots dancing and drinking and needed a quick fixer to shake the hang over off. Friend of mine recommended this spot and really hit the spot. The menu was huge and I definitely look forward to coming back. My order simple, un litro de agua fresco de limón, un tirita de pescado, y dos caldos de pescado. Everything was delicious. At first I was like what type of soup is this but I gotta admit it was fire. The tirita was good. It's probably the closest thing to Peruvian ceviche. Delicious. Yes the hung over was successfully gone and here I am taking more shots of tequila somewhere in a nearby beach loving every moment of my visit here in this paradise.
