El Candil
A long-standing restaurant on Calle Zaragoza with a pleasant garden courtyard out back. Shrimp tacos and cold beer are popular, and pizza is served on weekends.
El Candil is on Calle Zaragoza in the town centre. It is now run by long-serving staff who took over the business. The back courtyard is a lovely garden, good for dinner. One review calls its shrimp tacos the best they have eaten in Baja California Sur, served with cold beer. Slow-cooked pork burritos are offered irregularly. Pizza is added on weekends, and Thursday is French dip sandwich day. Mexican and American dishes are both available. Prices are moderate, and no reservations are needed.
