What’s a vacation without great food? The cuisine of the island is as creative as it gets. The local cuisine is a blend of fresh seafood and traditional Mexican cuisine. Here, you’ll want to eat as local as possible. It’s a good idea in any restaurant here to ask the server what fish is locally caught for the day, thus ensuring the most delectable meal possible. For classic local fare,
El Amigo Miguel is the perfect choice. Other more traditionally Mexican restaurants on the island include
Fersato’s and
Los Rancheros. An added perk; Los Rancheros offers live music on Thursday nights! If you want to see the sunset during your dinner, choose a restaurant directly on the beach. One of the restaurants boasting a beautiful view is
Dino’s (one of the island’s only Italian restaurants). Although many restaurants aren’t particularly kid-friendly, many will accommodate small children accordingly. One of the most kid-friendly restaurants on the island is
La Granja. If you’re looking for a bit of fusion cooking,
El Olvido is just the place for you. Don’t miss the specialty cocktails made with local tequila! Regardless of your taste in cuisine, this island has almost too many restaurants to choose from. Just make sure you order what’s fresh and local, and you won’t be disappointed.
