Fodor's Expert Review Ziggy's Restaurant
With tables under a palapa roof and on the beach, this restaurant is a perfect place to sink your toes in the sand while dining. Chef Hidalgo offers understated appetizers like tuna nachos (tuna tartare and avocado with tortilla strips) or guacamole on a bed of fried cheese. Veggie fans will love salads made with soft cheese, fresh greens, caramelized almonds, and Jamaica sauce. The fish is about as fresh as it gets—if you’re an angler, the kitchen will even cook up your catch. By day, the menu focuses on sandwiches and wraps; by night the attention turns to ribs and surf and turf. A pleasant background of live, local music will have you swaying in your seat from 7:30 to 9:30. And the bar, where they've traded in bar stools for swings, is just as nice as the table seating. Service can be slow, but it's worth the wait. There's Mexican wine tasting on Thursday and flamenco on Monday.
