. With the dollar-to-peso exchange dropping, we are tightening our belts. Our dollars just don’t stretch as far as they did a year ago. The first place to save pesos is restaurants with good food, a lower price, and attentive servers. We also choose dog-friendly restaurants so Sophie can come. These are some of our favorites, not in any particular order.
Side Note: Most of these don’t have air conditioning, so in the summer, we go to dinner a little later when the temperature is cooler.
1. Derby City Burgers and Jalato
We share one burger with fries (we choose sweet potato fries) and a side
salad with blue cheese dressing. Then we have room for a scoop of our favorite gelato at Jalato’s.
2. Hisao
This hidden gem is our favorite place for sushi, mixed fish, shrimp, vegetable tempura, and teriyaki chicken.
3. Sonorita for Al Pastor Tacos and Delicious Guacamole
5. Cuates y Cuetes on the Beach Next to the Los Muertos Pier
6. Los Molcajetes--For tacos and volcanes (Now I know what volcanes are.)
7. Cafe de Olla--BBQ ribs, chicken, twice baked potatoes, and Mexican food, air conditioning in the back room, but it's still warm.
8. Tony’s Please--I had delicious shrimp fettuccine Alfredo, and Jon had chicken parmigiana. We took enough home for lunch the next day.
9. El Barracuda--Great fish and shrimp tacos on the beach!
10. Eclecticos--Sadly, this restaurant has closed. So, we've added OkJosé! Restaurante Bar.
10A. OkJosé! Restaurante Bar--Traditional Mexican Food with a Flair
