Kiosco Verde
A family-run seafood restaurant founded in 1974 and recommended by Michelin, famous for its grilled octopus and Puerto Juárez-style fried fish empanadas.
Founded in 1974 by the father of current owner Octavio Santiago, this restaurant is located along the highway to Puerto Juárez. Michelin describes it as an insider's spot on the outskirts of town. The semi-outdoor setting is simple and welcoming, with seafood sourced from local markets and daily specials written on a blackboard. Signature dishes include grilled octopus, fried fish empanadas, and lobster empanadas. It is primarily a lunch spot, and it easily fills up after 1:00 PM, so arriving early is recommended. Reservations can be made directly by phone. Closed Tuesdays; parking is available.
