Today’s lunch location was just off the malecon where the green tourist bus turns left and leaves the malecon on it’s way downtown. Right next to the Oxxo. Easy to find and see. It is facing the side street but close enough to the ocean that you get that nice breeze.
Heading in to eat. 
Some of our group were already waiting so we had to spread out for all of us to be seated. A large group of 12 that makes the restaurant happy!
The menu is in Spanish but they speak some English. The dishes on the menu are shown on this large colorful mural.
First we need drinks…..
That’s the kitchen in the back….ready for action. 
Most people had beer and they turned out to be the pequeño or small ones so….we all needed two!
This young man had just given us a run down on the menu and what they would provide. This is a seafood restaurant and since we are very close to the Pescadaria’s (fish shops) everything is very fresh. He had just passed his little boy to Marion and now the little guys was wailing! Funny!
He was passed from one family member to another and finally calmed down. Lots of gringo grandma’s did not make him happy! I tried a little peekaboo later and although he was suspicious, he didn’t cry!
Shrimp wrapped in bacon with salad and rice. Looks delicious. 
Coconut shrimp. Nice presentation. 
We eat. 
Anita looks suspicious!
I ordered Fillete de Pescado Gordo. Dorado stuffed with shrimp, wrapped in bacon in a poblano cream sauce. Salad and tasty rice came with it and it was as delicious as it looks. Marion, Eddie, Ruth and Diane had the same. 
Valerie’s filete de pescado empanizado or breaded fish fillet. Valerie gave it a medium rating. 
I am making an attempt to order dishes that are a bit different and also what I wouldn’t cook at home. I might also add that I am not fussy and will eat pretty well anything as long as it is well prepared. I am fussy about poorly prepared, generic food. 
Good!
In the end the meals were well received. I know that some of us are not interested in having a seafood meal hence the thumbs down. I love seafood. Plus you can’t please all of the people, all of the time. The service was good, the food was prepared quickly and although Marion had to wait as her meal was wrong the wait was not huge. No problemo! The extra, wrong meal, was left for us to sample.
Everyone had a choice of restaurants, the slips went into a bag and each week a new restaurant is drawn. Luck of the draw!
Would I return….you bet!

We walk one block north to where the green bus returns to the malecon and heads back to Cerritos and Trailer Park Las Jaibas. 
A lovely day and a lovely view!
The bus arrived just as we got there, we all boarded and home we went.
There was even time left when I got home for an hour on the beach. Eric got a swim in and the weather was just lovely. The clouds have left us and the sun is shining…..Bueno!
I am enjoying the posts on the places you and your group go for lunch - thank you for the reviews. I had never noticed this last place you went - tucked in behind the "hugs and kisses" or OXXO as it is better known as in Mexico. We were sitting a couple of rows in front of you on the green bus a week or so ago that took out one of the orange cones going North. Always an adventure riding the busses in Mexico. Enjoy your blog - thanks for writing it.
