"If you speak a little Spanish you might piece together that this bar is run by the same people as Great White, except the theme here is less Aussie and more Acapulco. Located off the boardwalk, Gran Blanco looks like a Tulum beach bar with its all-white interior and disco ball. Reservations are strongly encouraged for dinner, but walk-ins at the bar are welcome if you don’t mind drinking on your feet until someone gets up. Order the Nomalizo, a jalapeño-watermelon-mezcal concoction, or the excellent espresso martini made with reposado tequila. Also: the food here is quite good and available at the bar." - sylvio martins
