El Bayo - 94290 Boca del Río

Great food and fast service

Nice view to the estero and food ok!! ?

Best octopus, prawns and snail

Good place to eat good prices..

Expensive. The food was ok.

Very very good place. Great taste, plentiful portions and good price.

The view out to the river is nice but nothing so impressive. Ordered a shrimp cocktails and A piña colada. The cocktail sauce was a red sauce drenched w sugar - I put nearly 3 tablespoons of hot sauce in it, in-store store I could only taste the sugary red sauce!!! The piña colada was made with rents it coconut, and taste it like rancid melted coconut ice cream, with one drop of alcohol. The waitress brought me a shot of pineapple juice to reduce the sweetness, and it didn’t make a lick of a difference. All I could taste is rancid coconut ice cream! They wouldn’t replace the drink for a margarita (same price), but made me another piña colada that’s supposedly less sweet, but didn’t make a lick of a difference! It took them 4 requests and 10 minutes to NOT bring me the check - I literally had almost exit the restaurant with a credit card in hand, to have them notice that I’m not planning on waiting forever to get the check. Don’t waste your time coming all the way here to eat/drink here - it’s far away! Not worth the hassle for food and drink that has no other flavor profile other than sweet.

I recommend visiting this old shipyard for a bit or wartime history of Veracruz. The cab driver, Demetrio Loyola is a well prosed and educated native who knows Mexico through and through. He will take his time and really explain the history of every landmark in the Boca del Rio, Veracruz area. He also spoke some English having lived in America for a short while. That was a plus.
