The best cocktails in all of Manzanillo. The place is very simple. The service is average and somewhat slow, but the quality and flavor are worth it. I recommend arriving early as they open, as it gets busy.

Hidden gem, went for oysters and clams. Good food, kind employees and reasonable prices. Fresh the moment I arrived at noon. Not a lot of room for seating, but it was just me eating. I ordered 12 oysters and 6 clams, 2 beers—-worth every peso 370.00 Seafood cocktails looked amazing, but maybe tomorrow! Will return.

You can find the freshest seafood here, I love their cocktails and crab toast, delicious. Excellent quality products, prepared simply but with great flavor. P.S. I recommend you go early, because they sell out of their products due to high demand.
