Pescaderia

13/2/24 Wednesday late dinner Note: I think this place has moved round the corner to 25AveNte entre 2&4 in the last few years. It's confusing but I think I am reviewing the same place as name is very similar! I have submitted a correction to TA (somehow it located it eight streets north west! . We three middle aged guys from London had arrived back in PdC after over two weeks of travelling further south and in Belize. We had just been on the local beach so I wanted round after checking out restaurants in the backstreet of the south ADO terminal. I found this and it looked quite busy and appealing. I returned to the Casa Palma wifi to research this fish restaurant on TA and Gglmps. I could not find it on the former so this is a shorter review than usual. I saw it closed at 22:00 so we managed to get there at 21:10 to find the kitchen closing at 21:30. We were therefore a bit more rushed than we wanted to be on our last dinner of the holiday. We ordered two litre classic micheladas (110 , a Bohemia Oscura beer (50 , two fish fillets in sauce (199 and a medium shrimp ceviche (235 . The music was Mexican from a television showing classic Mexican party songs. We had to turn off a hurricane force fan next to us as the wind chill was great. The drinks came quickly and were delicious along with a basket of tortilla chips. The fish dishes came unexpectedly quickly, but were piping hot, very fresh fish (red snapper the attentive waiter said and quite generous with al dente boiled vegetables and a scoop of flavoured rice. My tequila sauce was very tasty, my friend's garlic and oil was too and very garlicky. The ceviche was fine but not spice. There were no proper spicy sauces on the table. Maybe we should have asked as it has been an option elsewhere. We were also presented with some packs of Saladitas, our first of the holiday! The spare ones were kept for the airport. Another group of tourists arrived just before the kitchen closed and were served equally quickly. They actually left before us, as did some locals propping up the bar I had seen on my exploration trip over an hour earlier. The printed bill was a correct 903. We paid by card and left a 50 tip. We were the last ones out! We left sated and happy to the carnival in the main square.

Great meal and service was tops. Several had the coconut shrimp and it was some of the best I have had and I have coming to Playa for years
