Large seafood plates, Mexican classics & cocktails in a bright, old-timey dining room. Service and food has always been fantastic for us. Not a tourist hangout by any means. Restaurant is usually full of locals. https://www.facebook.com/RestaurantLaCurva.puertopenasco

This is also a hidden gem. I believe all they have to choose from is fish and seafood. With the exception of the kids menu. They also have a play structure for the smaller kids to play on. https://www.facebook.com/palapa.donmargaro/

Their fish is probably our favorite of Penasco. Their secret family recipe marinade and then grilled outside over an open pit with mesquite charcoal, it’s impossible to beat! The red snapper is our favorite.

They are only open for dinner. I believe they open at 2pm. Every single thing we’ve eaten here has been incredible! The bartender makes fabulous drinks. The service is always top notch!

El Pollo Papago is your go to spot for chicken!!! It can be difficult to find your first time there. But it is worth it! Cheaper and much better then the chicken places in town that all the Americans rave about. It’s a local hot spot. Definitely a hidden gem.

They have very good Mezcal straight from Oaxaca. Their menu features a few traditional Oaxacan plates as well as Mexican and American classics. Everything is homemade from scratch and you can taste it. Definitely made with love.

Great daily specials. Live music. Karaoke. They even offer Paint and Sip on Sundays. During the hot months they have air conditioning and when the weather is nice they have a great patio upstairs. You can find them on social media to get their schedules for music, food specials, etc.
