My husband and I had dinner at La Gaviota tonight and it was wonderful. When you enter the restaurant you have a full view of the ocean and beach.There are tables for two in the front and you feel as if you are on a boat. The view is spectacular and the restaurant is new construction. The food was wonderful. We both had the red snapper and it was perfectly cooked and the presentation was wonderful. The service was great. Everyone speaks English.

Thanks for the feedback!

The Gaviota is a long-time favorite with us, as much for its delicious food as its perfect location.

I haven't been there for a while, so I'm not aware if they've recently remodeled, but the construction isn't new. It's been there for the past 4 decades, but they keep it in good shape.

Major remodel at least two years ago. In all the times we had been to Zihuatanejo, we had never tried it before. Saw the remodel and gave it a try. Very good meal and service at a reasonable price.

Oh, well I've been there since that remodel, but I didn't consider it a major remodel. Some minor changes with the interior, but okay. Just a difference of semantics. Entendido. ;-)

At the far end of La Ropa. You should be able to see it on google maps if you search for restaurants.

La Gaviota is my favorite seafood restaurant in Zihua. Hands down...

During high season, be sure to try them for lunch or early dinner (before 5)... There is a different menu then with more Mexican flavors and some truly special dishes like the chamuscado and the gaviota "casserole" (not really a casserole, closer to a mole). Same huge portions, great drinks, and wonderful service.

Last year they had a charcuterie board which I loved. This year they took it off the menu. Sad! Beautiful place to eat. Try the Mac and Cheese!

I know we are not suppose to eat the Pulpo. I saw the cute emotional documentary about the human like octopus but...La Gaviota's amazing chefs prepare the most delicious dish of entire pulpo smothered in garlic sitting atop potatoes like no other anywhere. Enjoy guilt free if you can.
