| Restaurants on the Coast |

| I have eaten some great fish along the Los Tuxtlas coast. Unfortunately, there are very few restaurants along the Gulf that are reliably open outside of the few weeks of the over subscribed tourist seasons. Palapa style "dining" is available in dozens of palm frond stands during the few weeks of the seasons. Then the wind blows them away. Reliably open and recommendable is La Casita in Dos de Abril across from Montepio. In La Barra, La Sirenita makes an effort, and in Costa de Oro, the tiny restaurant La Carmelita will grab a fish from the shore-fishing nets to feed you. There are several restaurants around the embarcadero in Sontecomapan not worth mentioning, except for the above the Poza de los Enanos, which serves an excellent Caldo de Marisco, (seafood soup), unfortunately frequently spoiled by a very noisy jukebox. |
