The first time it came back, there were still onion pieces under some of the fish, Jesus personally watched them remake it again in a new bowl.

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.

Then came the whole fried fish -- crispy, golden, incredibly fresh, and topped with fresh onions, cilantro, jalapeños, and a charred lime on the side.

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.

Chas found this spot while vacationing here and loved the area so much that he rented an apartment nearby and flys down often from New Orleans to stay there. We started with some Mezcalina's and fresh house fried tortillas with salsa's. The chipotle salsa and the avocado with cilantro were a nice change of pace from your normal salsa verde y rojo. The chips were clearly freshly fried and tasted great even without the salsa's. Our appetizers were a baked Camembert with fruit and tortillas, a sopa azteca, and fresh tuna tostadas. The Camembert was quite good as was the soup, but these tuna tostadas were one of the best appetizers I've ever eaten. Everything on them worked so well together and you could add a splash of soy sauce and it was even better! I'd order these as my meal at 90% of the spots in the world and leave happy! Our entrees were a grilled pichana as well as a lobster pizza from the wood fired oven. I love cooking pichana and don't see it often on menus when I go out so that was a nice treat. The temp was perfect for what we asked for and it was seasoned well. The potatoes that came with it had excellent flavor as well. I could take or leave the corn haha When Chas told me he was eating pizza in Mexico with lobster on it I said "dude, what are you doing with your life?" He said just wait til you try it. He ... was right. The lobster was delicious and buttery, the sauce had great flavor, and the cheese (which was not mozzarella) worked surprisingly well. I will say that I normally like my pizza crispy and this was missing that element...but the flavor more than made up for it. Add on to all of this the fact that you're surrounded by a beautiful pool, swings over the sand, a nice bar, and the owners dog is always nearby to say hi to haha. One of the easiest ones yet.

OMG... there was paella more for like 4 lol.. so much seafood, fish, squirrel, shrimp, oysters and clams... we walked out of there stuffed. Amazing food, super fresh, made on the spot. Yes it might take a minute to get it but hey you're getting it made right there not just heated up. Margaritas were good too and the place was nice and super quiet. If lobster is your thing, then I think you can pick your dinner too :) there were a few fresh ones in the tank right behind us. Say hi Mr lobster before you turn into someone's succulent meal. Recommend the paella.. for 260 pesos a meal for 2 you cannot go wrong.. talk about cheap seafood.

It was early/late afternoon and not many people were in the restaurant. The folks there spoke good English and had an English menu. There was a larger party near us and they definitely had a good time. They ordered ceviche, fried fish, etc and they were able to choose the fish they wanted! How cool is that. The server basically comes over with a tray of fresh fish and you just pick one...or two. We went with a paella because it looked good. It was definitely smaller than the picture. The crabs were a bit small too so you don't get any or much meat. But overall the taste was not too shabby. Perhaps a ceviche would've been better but we already had some earlier in our Mexico trip. Fairly priced, off a few blocks west of the crazy busy touristy street which is nice. Definitely will come back next time I'm in the area.

The dinner meals are more than plenty. We were miserable because we finished our plates. We have spent time in Italy, and it was that good. I will never forget smelling the ocean while we ate delicious food. This is a no brainer. Give it a try. We hope you like it too.
