El Manglar - 40895 Zihuatanejo

Great service, extremely fresh seafood. They have ice-cold beer and good food. This is pretty much what you’re trying to find to enjoy a nice moment in front of La Ropa Beach. Recommended.

Always great food and service. The natural setting and cast of "animal" characters ma k es each experience extra special.

Great food, atmosphere, service and sunset

The best, we eat there two or three times during our trips to Zihuatenajo, great people good food. Always a great sunset view.

We ordered grilled fish tacos. The fish i suspect is chicken of the sea brand tuna. The fish was shredded which was weird. On flour tortilla which doesn’t pair well with seafood tacos. It was disgusting I didn’t even finish. I also ordered the Mahi Mahi with lime sauce and the lime sauce tasted like canned Alfredo sauce with lime zest. No real flavor. The chairs are $1 plastic chairs at your local dollar store not comfortable at all and not clean. The walk up to the restaurant feels like you’re about to be ambushed as the grass is overgrown and there’s no signage. The only cool part was the iguanas and the mango daiquiri was good. Recommended to go to bistro Del Mar restaurant if you want flavorful food

Excellent food beautiful jungle environment.

Worth the trip! This is one of those places you go and it becomes a travel story. The salt water estuary next to the restaurant is a vivid dark pink (we have been told the color is seasonal). That alone is unique. The iguanas are everywhere. And then there is the restaurant's namesake... A 10' salt crocodile who regularly suns himself just outside the patio. As for food and service... I would classify this as just above average for the area. Good food that is a higher quality than normal with decent service. The prices were no more or less than surrounding restaurants. Oh, it is a little tricky to find if you are driving. Just trust the GMap. ;) But if you want an AMAZING travel pic as well as an above average lunch for a good price, this is where you come.

Awesome place and got pretty busy almost a full house towards sunset when we were there an hour earlier there was like 2 tables. But the setting feels like eating in the jungle or swamp. I'm glad many iguanas showed up for me and a few different bird species as well. There were turtles swimming by and a medium size crocodile swam by as well although when I pass by mid day there was a huge crocodile hanging out by the entrance of the restaurant. Love the vibe here and a few good choices on the menu. The service was good but today there credit card machine didn't work but luckily I have cash. On the other side of the back of the restaurant is also an RV park I'm not sure if you can rent the lot with the place but there were many travelers and it's nice if you have an RV walk straight into the restaurant to eat and off to the beach you go.
