Four enchiladas on each plate...the lovely senorita tried to explain...they were extremely good and we were able to take the extra order back to our hotel for later. Went back for lunch and tried the tacos. Excellent meal enjoyed with a few pina coladas that were obviously made with fresh ingredients (not mixer). Would love it if they served food in the evening.

I was referred to this place by the head chef from Restaurante Tentaciones and I'm glad I did come…read more I definitely will be adding this place as a must come again. Its located at the end of the town walking path and has a good flow of people the come by. The restaurant is laid out like many others in that there is both a patio that flows to the indoor outdoor atmosphere. There are a lot of great choices but I always love eating grilled octopus (pulpo). It came out perfectly cooked with avocado and spanish rice as part of the dish. From the menu there is an assortment of other dishes and varied seafood tacos. There is an assortment of drinks too, but I had the Hugo Spritz which was perfect for that time of day. I look forward to my next visits and will for sure try other tasty options from their menu.

Hopefully they will update some I let them know it was open. This time was perfect. The ambiance was lovely. It is not by the beach, but is really pretty with a water feature, open airy feel and live music. This year the music was nice, and we all got up to slow dance. Very romantic and fun. Our best friends that we were with also enjoyed and both couples enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. JD, the captain of the servers, was super friendly and attentive. Judy our server was super sweet and attentive. Top notch service for sure. The BBQ ribs were great! Our friend had the quail, and she was not impressed. Pork chops were really good also. We came once before and will be back in the future

We had Caesar salads (fresh, crisp, not overdressed), my husband had the shrimp chile relleno (I did not get offered the traditional bite to taste and his plate was wiped clean, he said it was really good) and I had the snapper and shrimp in a cream sauce with mushrooms and jalepenos and veg/rice - the fish and shrimp was very good, not a bit of that left; the vegetables were cooked properly, not overdone, rice was also properly cooked. We shared the Z lime pie for dessert, which had a sorbet type consistency vs a custard - very cold and refreshing. Our server was attentive but not overbearing and was fun to visit with. Am so glad we decided to try La Casa Vieja, we definitely will be back now that we know what we've been missing.

My wife had the sunset shrimp which were done " Al punto". I had the seared ahi tuna steak in garlic which was truly excellent. Drinks were well made and tasty without overdoing them. For dessert we had the lemon pie, which is one of the best I have had. We were taken care by his young son Julian.

It was very hot while we dined and there was no breeze. A fan would have been wonderful! The bad: You choose 2 or 3 courses for $1300 or $1500MXN. At this price, you expect really exceptional food. This just wasn't the case for us. I ordered the steak, which came with a green sauce and potatoes. The potatoes were delicious. The filet was more like a sirloin but was more tough than a sirloin. It was very disappointing, but more than that, when the server asked how everything was, he seemed as if he already knew the steak was tough. I ended up getting the coconut shrimp (4) instead. They were served on a bed of cooked and spiced apples along with a salad rolled up in thinly sliced jicama similar to a sushi roll. The second course I ordered was dessert. The pictures don't do the presentation justice because it is so dark, but the food is beautiful. Paying this much for coconut shrimp and dessert (basically a molten lava cake with vanilla ice cream) really left me feeling very disappointed. Would not recommend nor return.

The hot chocolate was ok, but I'm a snob with that beverage. Smoothie was perfect and the toast with jam was great surprise. I give it 5 stars, it's also really affordable and made with quality ingredients. Full breakfast for under $20. Sadly, many Canadian & US citizen tourists complain that prices are high. They are a 1/4 of the cost of your home countries. Mexicans need to live, too. I will say to the negative reviews, you don't order steak or beef in Zihuatanejo. Only a few places do a ribeye ok. Chicken and pork based meals are done well.
