Acapulco Restaurants

Most people come to Acapulco for the sun, but dining comes a close second. Fresh seafood is on every menu, supplied daily by local fishermen. You can also get top-quality beef brought in from the Mexican states of Sonora and Chihuahua.

As for location, you can have an incredibly romantic meal with unparalleled views of the bay, or you can dine in a casual beachside restaurant. A few hardy dining spots pull 24-hour duty, but most places stop serving food around 11 pm.

  • 1. Tabasco Beach

    $$$ | Costera

    An Acapulco institution, Tabasco Beach comes into its own each morning with a devoted breakfast clientele. The morning menu runs from the American (think omelets and eggs Benedict) to the Mexican, with salpicón, a mix of flank steak, eggs, and ranchero sauce. The buffet lunch makes it a popular lunch stop for cruise passengers. Evening gives way to a two-for-one happy hour, enjoyed alongside dinner options like red snapper, garlic shrimp, and mustard chicken. The whole production sits a few feet above the beach, creating a quintessential seaside restaurant.

  • 2. Tony’s Asian Bistro

    $$$$ | Acapulco Diamante

    Acapulco’s finest Asian restaurant fuses Eastern cuisine with the best of continental Europe in a modern setting overlooking Acapulco Bay. The dishes are primarily Vietnamese, with a touch of Korean, Malay, and Chinese mixed in. Start off with an appetizer of Vietnamese summer rolls or bún, a sliced fillet of beef with noodles and cilantro. Grilled sea bass satay in peanut sauce with jasmine rice or caramelized Vietnamese pork ribs are highlights of the main dishes. Choose from an extensive wine list that has a strong selection of vintages from Mexico’s very own wine country in the northern Baja peninsula. You also get some spectacular views of the bay for free, and the outdoor patio tables and indoor window seats fill up quickly on warm evenings in the dry season.

  • 3. 100% Natural

    $ | Costera

    Along the Costera Miguel Alemán are several of these 24-hour restaurants specializing in quick service and light, healthy food: sandwiches made with whole wheat bread, soy burgers, chicken dishes, yogurt shakes, and fruit salads. You'll recognize these eateries by their green signs with white lettering. The original—the first, and best, in this now-national chain—is across from the Grand Hotel Acapulco.

  • 4. El Cabrito

    $$ | Costera

    As the name implies, young goat—served charcoal-grilled—is a specialty of this restaurant. You can also choose from among genuine Mexican dishes like chicken in mole (spicy chocolate-chili sauce); shrimp in tequila; and jerky with egg, fish, and seafood. Wash it down with a cold beer or glass of wine. The place opens at 2 every afternoon, so although you can have lunch here, it might be at a later time than you're accustomed.

  • 5. El Zorrito

    $$ | Costera

    This casual open-air street-side eatery specializes in hearty Mexican food. The place is open 24 hours most days—although on Tuesday the folks here open at a leisurely 3 pm—serving Acapulco's famous green-and-white pozole as well as steak dishes like filete tampiqueña (a strip of tender grilled beef), which comes with tacos, enchiladas, guacamole, and beans.

  • 6. La Cabaña de Caleta

    $$ | Old Acapulco

    In the 1950s, this local favorite was a bohemian hangout that attracted renowned bullfighters along with Mexican songwriter Agustín Lara and his lady love, María Félix. You can see their photo over the bar and sample the same dishes that made the place famous back then: shark tamales, seafood casserole, or shrimp prepared with sea salt, curry, or garlic. The restaurant is smackdab in the middle of Playa Caleta, and there are free lockers for diners who want to take a swim, as well as banana and wave-runner rentals.
