2 Best Restaurants in Acapulco, Mexico

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.

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.
