LA GAVIOTA Restaurant-Bar

Fantastic restaurant, I had hands down one of the best tacos of my life. Beautiful location, lovely service, great atmosphere. We stopped for lunch as we were arriving to zihuat and we didn’t regret it. We had the fish al pastor set of 5 tacos, really good, the taco chago, and zanka, both goods but my favorite was the taco chulo, so balanced with the perfectly seasoned shrimp, and the pickled onions with an amazing sauce that made me want to lick my plate. Only down side of the place is that it is on the pricy side and the drinks are outrageously expensive but for food this good I’ll definitely go again. And the set up is just gorgeous! You might need a reservation though . Highly recommend it !

The food here is wonderful. We started with the tiritas gaviota. This is a large ceviche starter for two people but we would get it again. I tried to save room for dessert but was not successful. Their chips are homemade. Very good. I had the Lomito (snapper dish) and it was exceptional (guac here is wonderful) and my husband had the chille relleno - there wasn’t any left on his plate. The view and ambiance (ocean waves crashing) are worth the stop but this place truly has excellent food and service. Nice breeze here so you don’t get too hot. Overall, a wonderful dining experience.

This has been the best food of our trip so far. The view is amazing and the ocean breeze is incredible. They even brought us a snack on the house.

The finest and most delicious restaurant of our 4 day trip to Zihuatanejo. The atmosphere is amazing. Highly recommend you go for dinner an hour before sunset to enjoy the see breeze by the ocean and golden hour. The tuna sashimi was exquisite. Professionally prepared unlike most of the surrounding restaurants. The Camarones Roca were also extremely delicious. The tacos were ok., at $155 a piece, we found them too pricey for what you get. Definitely worth a visit. Enjoy!

The restaurant has a fresh and well prepared food. Campechana Zihua was our favorite. Our waiter Francisco took good care of us and tried his best to understand us and our English.

This is easiest the best restaurant in Zihua. There are plenty of vegan options and everything we had vegan and not vegan was delicious. This restaurant has steps down to the beach and the waves come right up to the steps. The staff there are amazing and friendly, huge shout out to Alberto for making us feel at home. I can’t recommend this place enough and I can’t wait to come back!

The food here is phenomenal!!! The view is amazing and the service was out of these world! 10/10 would come again!!

Outstanding Experience at La Gaviota We had a truly memorable evening at La Gaviota. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. A special thank you to Roberto, who took such good care of us throughout the evening. The food was outstanding. We enjoyed perfectly cooked shrimp paired with a medley of exceptional vegetables—fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. The menu offered a great selection. The setting is just as impressive as the food. With a stunning oceanfront view and a picture-perfect sunset, it’s the kind of place that makes a meal feel like a special occasion. Our compliments to the kitchen staff for a flawless meal, and again, heartfelt thanks to Roberto for making the experience so enjoyable. Highly recommend.
