El Tiburon in Ixtapa & Food Markets

by tadpole1 @, Sunday, January 27, 2019, 15:56 (2847 days ago)

Two distinct topics but questions on each.

El Tiburon:
Heard much good stuff about the seafood at El Tiburon. I love seafood, my wife can't stand it. Can anyone tell me if they have anything other than seafood on the menu?
How far up the road from Solieda is El Tiburon? Is it within walking distance from Solieda?

Food Markets:
Will be going into Zihautenejo for some groceries during our trip. We heard there's a Commercial market & also Bodega. I remember passing Bodega in the past but is there much of a difference between the two? selections? price?

Which of the two markets does the bus from Ixtapa either pass or come closest to. We usually take a bus to town & taxi on return.
Thanks.

El Tiburon is about a 12 minute walk from Soliado
Bodega is not comfort shopping , Sorriana is better for visitors.
Get off the bus at the Mermaids , cross the street , go to the left after crossing, follow the sidewalk around the corner at the bus station ,a couple of minutes you will see the store on your left.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure what you mean by "Comfort Shopping"!

Bodega is or was a Walmart company, so the marketing concept is cheap and not cheerful.

Bodega is my store of choice for all of my staples. It has a much higher foot traffic count than Soriana and the reason is almost everything is cheaper at Bodega.
Also Bodega is way easier to get to from Ixtapa. Go in the mornings, and avoid afternoons and weekends.

El Tiburon is in the Ixtapa Palace next to the water park and the defunct casino.They do have a short menu of other things.
