El Marinero Restaurante - 28218 Manzanillo

This is only place in town that serves Spanish dish of squid in its ink. Delicious!

Mostly just OK... The appetizer of pulpo was delicious, the shrimps with chili were too overcooked for my taste and I had different expectations for the steak and shrimp... It was bathed in a gooey brown sauce that was rather tasteless. The view is beautiful and wait staff was nice and fast. Else this place has had its heyday in the past....

Fantastic seaside restaurant. The outdoor seating is right on the beach. Excellent seafood and a very friendly staff.

Great food and service. Amazing ocean views. The restaurant is clean and comfortable

The food was good with the exception of my baked potato being rock hard on one end. The server never came to check up on how are food was or fo refill our drinks while eating which made for a poor experience. It was my first time eating here and I was approached by 3 musicians which asking me questions in Spanish that I did nit under stand so they went away they came back a few moments later after approaching other tables then played a song at my table then demanded I paid them $100 after this I talked to my server and explained I thought they were apart of the restaurant staff and they made me pay money even tho I didn’t even care for the music at all, the server told me there was nothing he could do because they do not work for the restaurant. I will nit be going back here to dine again.

Checked into Marbella hotel, came in for lunch. All waitresses were ladies. Paula, was ours. Perfect service, terrific food, my spanish is not great but she got it perfectly. So we came back for a last night in Manzanillo dinner… all the servers are men, not one waitress on the floor, manager nowhere to be found, server, 2 different ones, the worst I have had in a week of eating out 3 meals a day. Charged me for 2 wrong, more expensive items, did not make sny effort to resolve it, we have seen none of him all night. Food is great. Shame, really

Its hard to rate because we basically only had 1 dish...the seafood paella for 2 @$960. It was huge with 3 sizes of shrimp, fish, octopus and lobster. I really believe it could have feed 4 so we had lots to take home. The staff were efficient and friendly. We had a nice ocean view. The prices were med. high.

Strawberry margarita was delicious. Little ham and cheese bread croissants were fantastic, never had that sort of thing. Shrimp caeser salad was very good, the shrimp were steamed just right. Garlic soup was totally not what I was expecting, but very good. Had a runny egg in it, hot peppers, who knows what else. Salad of the sea was ... Interesting, but not what we were hoping for. We don't eat squid of octopus (seem at least as smart as some people I've interacted with) and this had octopus in it. And no greenery (not that sort of salad it turns out). Our fault for not asking. Shrimp soup had giant shrimp/prawns with heads and tails, flavor was good but i think garlic soup was better. Shrimp stuffed peppers were really good. Service was great, but they were working on the outside seating so there was welding and stuff going on between us and the ocean. Also, the shrimp soups came after our meals and were ludicrously large, again our fault for not asking but ended up being an enormous amount of food.
