La Bocana Restaurant
Restaurante La Bocana
A long-established seafront seafood restaurant on El Tunco beach, with two floors facing the river mouth, the beach and the iconic El Tunco rock, a top choice for sunset dining.
Located at El Tunco beach (Litoral Highway, km 42), facing the sand and the iconic El Tunco rock. It is a long-standing seaside restaurant in town. The two-story building has the best views from the upper floor, where you can eat while watching the sunset. The seafood includes passion fruit ceviche, charcoal-grilled prawns, oysters and fried fish, and the cocktail selection is good. Reviewers note that prices are high for the town and quality is inconsistent, so the view is the main draw. No reservations are needed, but arriving before sunset helps you get a good table. It is a short walk from the town's main street. Expect to spend about $15–25 per person.
