I ordered the arrachera steak and should have asked the price ahead of time. It was over $20 but wasn't of good quality. The vegetables and mashed potato accompaniments were swimming in grease. The view of the beach is nice but really not worth the price.

La Providencia

Located at the west end of Zipolite, close to Alquimista beach, it's a small restaurant full of surprises, great food, excellent ambiance, beautiful decor, and the best quality in all the ingredients, always trying to make our costumers have a memorable dining experience.

We’ve eaten at this little charmer in all 3 of their locations, and will continue to seek them out. The food is excellent and we’d recommend having a reservation- if you arrive as they open you might get lucky but it really fills up.

I'll make this short and sweet. We have been coming here for years and the quality of the pizza is wonderful! Get the largest option and take the leftovers back if you have a fridge. There is hardly any difference in price between the two sizes. The drinks are also excellent. LOVE their Margaritas!!!

Pelicano

Reviewed By SocietyandCulture - San Francisco, California

We ate here on our last night. The view was breathtaking and the service was fabulous. The fish was fresh, but you do get it whole, so it does require some work. It's small, intimate, and you can walk right up from the beach. We had the fresh catch, the hauchinango, which is like a red snapper. It was prepared well. The only thing that was odd was the lentils served with it. They really did not complement the dish. We also had the sangrias, which are different from the US, but still refreshing and tasty.

I don’t know why it is saying on trip advisor that they only open until 11am maybe it should be 11pm. Because they serve food the whole day. And everything is just delicious. They also have gluten free pasta, vegan options and of course vegetarian food. The view and the atmosphere is beautiful. The staff is really nice, quick and do speak English. Also it is run by a family which I think is really nice.
Totally recommend that place :)

Restaurante El Alquimista

Reviewed By migelly_fish

On our third night in Zipolite we decided to finally go to the restaurant everyone had been recommending to us: El Alquimista.
We got there and the first impression was brilliant: beautiful scenery and romantic atmosphere.
That was the only good thing. We ordered some grilled meat which took ages to come out. The moment the meat arrived at our table three big black dogs surrounded our table and stayed there for the rest of the evening. The meat: well I was truly tempted to give it to the dogs; I didn't do it out of etiquette. The chicken breast was raw, the chorizo was super soft and kind of sweet and the rest of the meat was simply unremarkable. The salad looked several days old and the potatoes were marinated in a sauce that was not nice. Nobody came to try to do anything about the harassing dogs or asked us if everything was ok. We ate qickly and left the place a bit shocked, trying to understand how this place has so many good reviews.

Orale Cafe

Reviewed By travelerbrissy - Brisbane, Australia

We stayed in Zipolite for 10 days and this was hands down the best place for breakfast.
Great Mexican fare but also tasty bagels and strong cappuccinos.
Tucked away on a dirt road near the creek - half the fun is finding this place even when you know where you should be looking. It’s so hidden away!
Don’t be put off by the appearance from the entrance, inside it’s got a nice garden and great setting overall. Must try for Zipolite!
Warning - it is closed on Tuesday for breakfast.

We would go there every night for happy hour drinks (2 for 1). There was a bartender who mixed excellent cocktails, but then he was replaced with a lady and the cocktails were lacking taste (and alcohol)

Luz del Sol

Luz del Sol is more than just a wonderful, affordable vegan and vegetarian restaurant with spectacular panoramic views of the San Agustinillo beach. Luz del Sol is a holistic centre where you can come and receive healing massages and energy work, find healthy vegan treats and spiritual items in the organic shop, swing in the hammocks and grab a book to read out of the spiritual library. We also have rooms to rent, so ask us about staying with us. Come and sample our creative and interesting menu and bask in the friendly and inviting atmosphere. May all Beings be Happy!

This restaurant isn't located on the beach front or promoting cheap drinks to bring customers in- instead, it is purely focusing on having some incredible wholesome, tasty, organic and fresh food, which makes you want to return every single day.
This place was one of my best finds. The place is full of so much goodness, from its ethos to its products, to its food (they sell clothes and organic products as well). The restaurant is on the first floor, so it does have a view of the ocean and a small area with hammocks.
Vegetarian, vegan or not, it is a paradise to eat in. We were treated to vegetarian burgers (lentil, chickpeas, mushroom & blackbean or beers and oats) with wholesome salads, fresh juices and raw Deserts. There was so much thought into every homemade dish.
The staff were extremely kind and friendly. The price was very reasonable. An absolute wonderful place to eat- I wanted to eat here everyday!
