We usually go to Zorro's but I would like a place that had food also. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Personally, I like the craziness of either Frank's or The General in Ixtapa. Lots of elbow room and good food at either place.

La Perla and Bandidos are the traditional sports bars of Zihuatanejo.

LegendZ a new sports bar recently opened. It's a nice place and serves food. Very close to Zorros.

Hola
Surprized that you would mention La Perla as a go to place for NFL. Aren't they the ones that started all this stuff about dogs on the beach at La Ropa?
Them and Banditos are high end bars. La Perla is a problem because of it's location. Need taxis to get out of.
Banditos lives up to its name for drinks and food . There are lots of other bars in centro that have NFL and are more people friendly and cheaper. Sure most of them don't have food, but they all are near good restaurants that are happy to deliver.

La Perla is ideal for La Ropa folks. Don't take your dog. No reason to punish the restaurant for the position of one of its sons. Their family has been friends with my family since Don Chico used to sell oysters and clams on the beach back in the 70's. Excellent TV's, food and atmosphere.
Bandidos is ideal for folks downtown. They are also old family friends. They also provide a quality product. Excellent TV's, food and atmosphere. I strongly disagree with you accusing them of being a ripoff. They are no such thing. They are a hard-working local family.

I commend you for coming to the defense of your friends. My comments came from the viewpoint of someone not having old friends in the restaurant business in Zihua. I have no obligation to support one venue over another because the owners are long time friends. I stand by my comments as an unbiased observer. I still won't step foot again in either La Perla or Banditos.

It's not just about friendships. It's about a lot of things that don't need discussing in detail publicly. Suffice to say there are a lot of businesses here, especially bars, owned by people that personally I would never do business with nor recommend their establishments to my friends or family under any circumstances. Since you have no "old" local friends you can't be expected to know such things. One of the main reasons of this website is so that you and other non-locals don't have to worry your pretty little heads over them.

We've been there the last few years for Super Bowl and have had fun watching it in Spanish at La Portena Pizza and Grill on the water front. They have fans above the tables to keep you cool. When the game isn't going your way you can always enjoy the ocean view. Service and menu are great!

Love La Portena, but usually watch @ Zorros. Eloinas, or La Playa bar (Captains Daughter). Anyone who doesn't have food will get delivery for you! Banditos is great & staff are awesome, just a little pricey! La Perla???Never!!

la Playa bar is a great place to watch sports. And, if you have not had a chipolte burger from La Hija de Capitan (upstairs) you are really missing out.

La perla is the only place where you will be directly on the beach for a game.
Quite unique for a game.
It is a bit more expensive tnan down town but worth it.
Outside this experience we chose to go to a beach bar where the staff
Actually smile and the owners dont believe all outsiders are shit.
The owners have a very special attitude toward "gringos" including
Canadians.
If you are not local, good luck.

I was just remembered something that happened on our very first trip to Zihua, maybe 14 years ago. We booked our first three nights on La Ropa at Bungalows Vepao so we could get the lay of the land (ended up moving up to Playa La Madera to be closer to town for the rest of our stay). It was Super Bowl time and as walked the beach, we saw a large hand painted, cotton banner in front of La Perla announcing Super Bowl that year (I don't remember the teams). We did end up watching it there and I don't really remembered how it happened but we ended up being gifted the banner as a souvenir. I think someone we met there was friends with the owner. Anyway, we still have it and come across it from time to time. Good memories!
