While these may not be restaurants with a view, many have created a beautiful setting to dine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

But to bring out the gluttony, the dishes are blended with influences from other cuisines without being overpowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A great example is the mahi mahi and shrimp trio served over risotto with squash blossoms, epazote, and a touch of mezcal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are more than a dozen main dishes, mostly a mix of fish and beef, to choose from. And your choice of wine or cocktails to pair with your meal. La Gula offers a fine dining experience for a special night out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

Fresh fish, shrimp, chicken, steak, and the passion that he puts into his cooking emanate from the grill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a beautiful set up. The bar and prep station is set up in the lower level of his house while the seating is across the street in the cutest patio strung with lights and surrounded by trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In between the two is the grill and where the magic happens. The main dishes are served with your choice of two sides. The menu also includes a handful of appetizers and salads as well as tacos and pasta. Keep in mind, they only accept cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Although at Cenadur\u00eda Ricomar you can order pozole every day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most restaurants have an option for chicken, pork, or mixed.

Not only do the ocean views create a pleasant atmosphere, but the food is great as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The menu features a variety of enchiladas, including a vegetarian version with carrots and potatoes, a style that originates in <a href=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/huasteca-potosina-mexico\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"7766\">Huasteca Potosina<\/a>. And there are a variety of juice blends to start your day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I ordered a different enchilada plate which was flavorful. Although it wasn\u2019t quite spicy enough for my taste, that was easily remedied with the salsa on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, La Terracita is a solid place for breakfast in Zihuatanejo with a stunning view. It\u2019s best to access it via the Paseo del Pescador and then climb the flight of stairs to the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.

And I can see why for the atmosphere alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in downtown Zihuatanejo, its patio garden setting feels like an oasis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/best-restaurants-in-zihuatanejo-mexico-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"A patio setting surrounded by tropical plants in a Zihuatanejo breakfast restaurant, with wooden furniture and colorful table settings,.\" class=\"wp-image-67862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/best-restaurants-in-zihuatanejo-mexico-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/best-restaurants-in-zihuatanejo-mexico-667x500.jpg 667w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/best-restaurants-in-zihuatanejo-mexico-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/best-restaurants-in-zihuatanejo-mexico-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/best-restaurants-in-zihuatanejo-mexico-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/best-restaurants-in-zihuatanejo-mexico.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The breakfast menu features a few items that are classic in the region such as reques\u00f3n guisado and aporreadillo. The latter being a food from Michoac\u00e1n, the neighboring state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lunch menu (which I was told was also available) has a lot of the same dishes with the addition of fresh seafood. If you want to try multiple items, you can order half orders at a slightly higher rate &#8211; something that shows their passion for sharing the food of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.

If you like ceviche and spicy food, you\u2019ll love aguachile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s one of my favorite seafood dishes in Mexico. Similar to ceviche, the shrimp are cooked in a base of citrus but with the addition of chiles. My favorite is the classic aguachile verde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to red, green, and black aguachile the menu includes a variety of tacos and tostadas with tuna, octopus, and shrimp as well as a selection of ceviche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This small seafood restaurant is located across from the dolphin statue in La Ropa. It has some of the freshest seafood in the area, which is key when the majority of what you serve is raw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10.

But the menu comes with a surprising twist of Thai food alongside fresh seafood dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, I&#8217;m going to start with a caveat. Thai food in Latin America is rarely very authentic. As long as you go in with that expectation, you should enjoy this restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think where El Murmullo shines is in its various curry bowls that get rave reviews. I was torn between green papaya salad and Pad Thai. When they told me the fish could be fresh tuna filet, I was sold on Pad Thai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than the perfectly cooked tuna, the plate looked rather bland when it arrived at the table. But I tossed the noodles and added some chili sauce and both elevated the dish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer not to eat on the beach there is a dining area with fans in the back near the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11.

They offer a menu del d\u00eda, as the menu states \u201cdiferentes guisados todos los dias,\u201d (different dishes everyday).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The regular menu also includes breakfast, classic Mexican dishes, and specialties of the house such as cecina from Yecapixtla. And on Sundays they serve specialties such as pancita, barbacoa de res, and beef tongue en estofado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I found it odd that the menu of the day doesn\u2019t include a drink (a first for me in Mexico!) but it\u2019s still a budget restaurant in Zihuatanejo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Zihuatanejo Vegan Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few vegan restaurants in Zihuatanejo centro. I&#8217;ve included two of the best below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">16.

Their dishes are simple &#8211; often resembling Mexican classics with a vegan twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also offer a menu del d\u00eda that includes an entree, main dish, dessert, and flavored water for a very affordable price. And for dinner, the small menu expands to include a lentil burrito and vegan milanesa sandwich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">17.

But it will appeal to both vegans and carnivores as it offers a range of dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One menu is strictly vegan while the other has a handful of vegetarian options and quite a few meat options, starting with steak and eggs for breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the vegan options take classic Mexican dishes and slightly modify them with the use of mushrooms or a seed chorizo. Even though I&#8217;m not vegan, I appreciate when a restaurant has the creativity to go beyond using soy products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wrapping Up Zihuatanejo Restaurants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, there&#8217;s more places to eat in Zihuatanejo than just its beachside seafood restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What surprised me the most was the vegan food in Zihuatanejo as well as the lack of street tacos.
