Mariscos Villa Rica Restaurante

Among Mexico's best-known seafood restaurants, here you can dine under the large palapa with its open windows, which offer beautiful views of the gulf, sandy beaches and large, frond-laden palms. On the extensive menu you'll find snails, octopus, crunchy seafood tostadas, refreshing ceviche, clams, aros de calamar (squid cooked in their own ink) and all types of fish caught that morning. Whole sea bass is scored across its thick side for effect. Open until midnight Thursday through Saturday.
