A tranquil water-view seafood room with a balcony the pelicans perform for.
Pancho's is the calm answer near the Malecón bustle. It is a fish market and a restaurant, with a small balcony over the water and AC inside for July afternoons. The garlic fish and the shrimp in cream with mushrooms are the orders regulars come back for. Oysters arrive genuinely fresh and the shrimp cocktail has drawn best-ever declarations. The shrimp themselves run big enough to earn commentary.
Breaded fish and shrimp tacos come seasoned right. Coconut shrimp handles the kids, and the chicken fajitas quietly solve the one person who will not touch seafood. The margaritas look like premix and are not; watch the bar make one and the size stops being suspicious.
Quiet and fairly priced, with pelicans fishing for their own dinner while you wait for yours.
Local tips
Ask for the balcony when the weather is kind; it is small and worth it. This is the tranquil pick, so bring the conversation rather than the party.
What to order
The garlic fish, or the shrimp with cream and mushrooms. Bacon shrimp and a shrimp cocktail alongside. Fresh oysters when they have them.
