Loreto


Colorful tablecloths, plastic furniture, a palapa (dried palm leaves) roof; this place has a no-frills setting but serves superb food. Try the pineapple filled with shrimp for a real taste-bud treat. The service is gracious and efficient, the soundtrack is unobtrusive and the margaritas hit the spot.

Ask about the owner's new B&B down the street, and grab an icy treat at his ice cream shop next door.
