Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
This Malecón landmark has been luring local expats and foodies since the late 1990s. Ceiling fans keep you cool as sea breezes waft in from the bay across the street while you dine on mahimahi, shrimp, or a mix of grilled lobster and other shellfish.
