Everyone was friendly and made us feel welcome, and we walked away with great conversations and local recommendations for our trip. We had the bang bang shrimp lettuce cups one night (they were divine), but those dirty martinis was the highlight for me - thanks JB)! Come for the drinks/food/live bands/karaoke, and stay for the great people who both work and congregate here. Thanks David/Tamaha/Jean Baptist for your hospitality :)

Indoor n outdoor seating .. recommend grabbing an umbrella table outside and taking in the sites, sounds n people watching (depending on where you sit - you may be visited by an occasional local (your friend) inquiring if you'd like to buy a boot leg DVD, bakery item, jewelry ++). The beer is cold and opened table side and the Mexican food is simple, flavorful n authentic! (The prices are ridiculously cheap and the service is stellar - be nice and tip generously ;-) Ps - if needed, they have nice restroom.

The Bars and Restaurants have tables on the street in a sidewalk cafe type setting. I have been stopping here on every trip to Progresso. The immediate place as you enter the street area, is Panco Villa Restaurant. You are greeted offer a menu along with the cost of the beverages, Margaritas 2 for $5 or beer for $1. I must say, the margaritas are made traditional, squeezed lime, triple sec, bar syrup, and tequila and in a real glass, not a plastic cup. I had several items to eat, one was the shrimp cocktail, Mexican style, very delicious and then I had the Devil Shrimp, sometimes referred to as Camarones el Diablo. They will prepare to any degree of heat that you want. So, if you are cruising through Progresso, give this place a stop for food or just a drink. Ask for Sergio.

A friend from Merida recommended El Toro for seafood. What do I think about the restaurant? - Let's…read moresay I am no longer friends with the guy who recommended this place. The old saying states: "You always get what you pay for." However, we paid around 65 (Dollars) for two soups, a fish fillet, and a small lobster tail. This is the worst seafood soup I have ever had in my life. How is that even possible, being so close to the sea? I do not know. Yes, the fault is mine because I should have waited to see what the local people were getting, which was fried fish. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place, and I do not think I will give a second chance. There are other options on the Malecon; I would try those next time.
