Just some advice, though, if you're on a budget, you might want to ask about prices up front. We recently were charged a 100 pesos for two
quesadillas (two tortillas with cheese). Seems to be a bit of gringo gouging occurring at some establishments. But, most places in town offer good
food served with a smile. |
And unfortunately one quite popular place in town has made a few people quite ill. We still enjoy the place, but we are very careful about what we
order as the hygiene is not so good at that place.

Diane,
I've also learned to count the legs on lobsters there too.
By the way, what happened to your lobster post?

Since we ate, last month, at Don Ramon's (shrimp tacos), open only on Saturday & Sundays, we have quit ordering shrimp ANYWHERE...Don's tacos are
unreal!
The experience of eating his shrimp tacos, and Rick bringing in some beers from across the street was forever engraved in my mind!

A year or two ago, we found the same thing. I looked inside the window and he saw me, got up, and opened the door. He had been asleep. He ended up
making us some burritos.
I do miss Carmelita!

Udo bought seafood pizza from Mari's for a party at Shari's one evening and I believe it was a unanimous hit, we've ordered since. Tomas the
proprietor is a great host and we've had some great food and times with friends there.
Down by Diana T at the far end of the main road in town( ends at her place down by the sea ) is a natural botanical store that roasts chickens on the
weekend. Inquire within.
BUT without a doubt the best food and friends to be had in Bahia Asuncion is at a little place, out on a point of land with the most spectacular view
of the islands. For the cost of taking a few friends out to dinner you could hire Juan Arce for a tour of the local waters, Bring back the fresh fish
for Shari to prepare ( Sashimi, Seared, Ceviche' and on and on ). BYOB and ease into a sunset. Don't forget to tip............. The cliffs are steep
in this part of town
