Easy to get to.... walk down the beach and before you get to the light house and center city area, you'll see a beachside, open air restaurant - there was a sign outside that said massage. The fish was fresh, the beer was cold. We really enjoyed it.
Sure we can second that
We had dinner at El Merkadito last week and it was fantastic, the food is amazing at pearl always, but this was a great local restaurant serving good fresh local food, we had all kinds of appetisers, the sea bass and lobster, the lobster was crazy big!! cost around $50 USD per head well worth it, to be honest we ordered way too much food, so true cost per head likely $35 USD.
we did also try another restaurant El Dolphinos??? I think??? anyways just off of the square a lot higher priced and food no where near as good and very expensive for what we had around $70 USD per head, not a nice looking restaurant at all and the mosqitos were horrendous!!!
Hope you enjoy your time at pearl as much as we just have, just about to book again for end of January!!!
