Frank’s in Ixtapa

Hello everyone,
We have been huge fans of Frank’s in previous years. This year it was the go to restaurant for our first evening meal. Sorry to say but we left deeply disappointed. Did we experience the one bad night or is this the new normal? Would love to hear others experiences. Thanks

We have had great food at Frank's 3 times since arriving January 8th. We especially love the amazing shrimp,which are actually prawns stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon. We usually order the appetizer portion, as two of those prawns is plenty of food. We've had good pizza there too. And our friends love the Caesar salad. So, not sure what you were disappointed with. Most restaurants continue to be challenged with staffing but our experience has been good.

They are not prawns unless they have been imported from British Columbia. They are most likely Large shrimp and if they have been split down the back, are most likely Thai!

I spent some time this afternoon educating myself about prawns. Jalisco is known for their prawns.

The main difference

Prawns are carnivores and shrimp are herbivores

Both are omnivores, eating anything.

Should we meet sometime for a drink, or an SUP paddle or just a beach afternoon?

Thanks for the invitation but I'll have to take a raincheck. We were in town yesterday for the afternoon and now back in Troncones.:vivamexico:
