La Gaviota
La Gaviota Restaurante
A seaside seafood restaurant at the end of La Ropa Beach, consistently ranked near the top of local lists, good for lunch and sunsets.
Located on the water at the southern end of La Ropa Beach, overlooking Zihuatanejo Bay, with live music often playing. Highlights include Tiritas Gaviota, al pastor-style fish tacos, coconut shrimp and red snapper aguachile, and vegetarian options are available. Prices are noticeably higher than other beach restaurants, and reviewers say it is worth an occasional splurge. Tables can be booked, though some reviewers note the food comes out quickly. Dinner is served only from November to March, and the restaurant is closed on Mondays. Taking a taxi from the old town is most convenient.
