    The gang after a fabulous whale watching experience!

    I love to take visitors to this restaurant as there is something for everyone. For me, I love the fresh fish, which Roland, the owner, debones at table side. The staff is responsive and friendly. I love sitting out by the street watching the various performances. The ambiance is festive.

    Chicken Caesar salad

    Stopped at this place for a bite to eat. I'm so glad I did. This place did not disappoint. We had the chicken fajita's. The chicken was so tasty. The chicken Caesar, chicken burger & coconut shrimp were also very good. The service was so fast and efficient. All the food was so tasty. Very large portions.

    We had some friends here last March and recommended this restaurant. We were told the food was great and owner welcoming and friendly. They didn't lie. We have been here a couple times now. I had fish tacos which I think are the best in all San Pancho. I'm also on a mission to find the best guacamole and ceviche, both awesome! I'm sure we will be back again as we have yet to try the infamous crème brûlée. One of our group had the burger and said it was the best he's ever had. Big too! We will be going back before we go. The owner Roland is super nice and gave us many good tips on the town and sites. They have music several nights a week and Franz was very good, even taking requests of a song he'd never played before and once Roland joining in to entertain. Very talented! All in all we had Great food, fun and feel like we made a couple friends. Highly recommend!

    Cameron wok.

    This place is 10/10 and not to be missed. I got the Cameron wok last night. The shrimp were high quality: fresh, large, perfectly cooked, and generously portioned. The dish was deeply tasting (think umami) yet healthy, well balanced, colorful, fresh, hearty and filling, a true delight. Everything was well seasoned, well proportioned, skillfully executed, healthy, and aesthetically tasteful. This place is truly amazing, owner/chef is present and the greatest guy to meet. 10/10 is such an understatement here. It's just a lovely place with a lovely vibe with great ambiance, great staff, one of the coolest/most present [and deeply invested in his food] chefs/owners I've come across. The food is fantastic and reasonably priced. I'd eat here every day.

    The fish we caught with Rolando!

    This place was the highlight of our trip! The food is excellent... so we ended up eating there three times during the week we spent here. To start, the sea bass and the coconut shrimp were both amazing! The ceviche was incredibly fresh and probably the best we have ever eaten. The hamburger is huge and wonderful. We also had the chocolate strawberry crepe - and the little ice cream bar features home made ice cream. We loved the Nutella! The owner Rolando makes your visit so personal and fun! He took us out on his boat to fish for the catch of the day... we had the time of our lives!!!! We will be back!

    Street signage looked appealing.

    Had a great meal for my pre-birthday weekend last night at San Pancho Marino. We were walking the main road - considering our options - when we were approached by a man in a striped shirt and the San Pancho Marino logo. At first we figured he was just the host - attempting to lure us in. Turns out he's the owner and chef. Originally from France, I'd guess Roland's true passions are the fabulous Mexican weather and the outstanding fishing the waters in the area provide. He fishes in the morning and then runs the restaurant at night - serving up whatever delicious fare he caught that day. Given a choice of fresh red snapper, tuna, or mahi mahi - I'm going to pick the snapper - hands down - every time. My husband had the mahi mahi. Borge we delicious and expertly prepared and served. The steamed veggies and rice were less inspired, but still tasty, especially after pouring the bowl of cilantro cream sauce over them. Roland checked on us several times to ensure we were enjoying our food. When Daniel was finished and his plate returned to the kitchen with the boring veggies still in place, Roland came to ask what was wrong with his veggies. As it turns out, he is not a fan of veggies either, and sent out a bowl of the most amazing ing mashed potatoes for my husband to try instead. SO good!! They had the perfect consistency - still a few rustic lumps - and were still light and fluffy. That's hard to achieve with the typical Mexican yellow potatoes that are prevalent in the area. I have no idea why his restaurant didn't rank higher on Yelp - but it certainly should. Best fresh snapper I've had in a while, and chatting with Roland was great fun. He even offered me a job - seems he's looking for experienced help in the kitchen. And since I mentioned wanting a tattoo that says "Mise en place" - that sealed the deal. Too bad I'm enjoying retirement way too much to work that hard! It would be fun though - for a couple of days! If you're walking down Main Street and can't decide on where to eat - I highly recommend San Pancho Marino. Roland Hossegor and his crew will take good care of you!! @rockfood_by_roland_hossegor @sanpanchomarino The ambience was okay. That would be my only real critique. As a large-bottomed woman - the tall bar chairs were tricky to get in and out of - and not do comfortable that I wanted to extend my meal any longer than absolute necessary. If I stop again, I'll choose to sit further inside. Jess people watching, for sure, but my butt will thank me later. But talking with Roland again would be worth it! Restaurants/Bar people rake note - your seating options definitely weigh in on my making a choice to stop. If your seating looks uncomfortable or precarious - it may look cool, but I'm going to walk on by until I find a place with more comfortable seats.

    Made us a whole dinner .

    One of my favorite restaurants with one of my favorite people ! Rolando such a beautiful person and lively restaurant host . Had a fantastic time getting to know him and he even introduced us to other visitors in the area who turned out to be awesome . Hope to visit you again soon !

Michelin Star cuisine that is great to bring a date to for a sit down dinner. We got the recommendation from the hotel we were staying at two blocks away and we are glad we came. So many perks about this location. I suggest planning to sit for 1.5 hours and come hungry to fully enjoy the experience. The tortillas and base for most of the dishes are made directly in house, you can see the employee outside making your tortillas and bao buns as you place the order. There is a wonderful combination of texture and flavor in every dish you order. The colors of each plate will be digested by your eyes first and surely everything is plated wonderfully. I recommend coming here early evening for no wait to be seated.

Recommended to us by the property manager of the adorable place we are staying in (Casa Aqua Bella), Limbo is world class. The fresh and inventive cocktails serve only as a precursor to the mind blowing mains. We stared with a seafood ceviche like no other that had an array of seafood in a flavorful marinade topped with these puffed rice chips. Followed by a meat stuffed artichoke heart topped with an egg. Also in a sauce that is plate-licking worthy. Our mains were the roasted octopus with melted cheese and another version of the crispy rice goodness. So unbelievably tender. And a slow cooked beef in au jus with thick handmade corn tortillas. Melt in your mouth good. And then there's the cocktails. The signature Limbo is complex and refreshing. So good we had more than one. Honestly this was one of my favorite meals in any country.
