We came to El Vaquero while in port on the Grand Princess. It will run you about $20.00 for a taxi,…read morebut it is 100% worth the price of the taxi. The service is nothing else than fantastic. My wife had the best frozen Mango Margarita that she has ever enjoyed. The restaurant is known for its beef and the Beef Fajitas are absolutely perfect. Order the side of Guacamole to have on these awesome Fajitas. I ordered the traditional Margarita and it was wonderful too. If you find yourself in Manzanillo make sure El Vaquero is one of your stops for either lunch or dinner. The restaurant opens at 1pm. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The interior of El Vaquero is also absolutely beautiful. The upstairs wasn't open when we arrived, but if it is, take advantage of the views.

We asked about it and they said it was seafood and they didn't have ham (read it in the menu though so..) Next topic..the waiter took our orders and when the food came out he brought one of us a ribeye when the order was for Robalo. We asked about and were told ribeye was what he ordered! They did nothing about and waiter even disappeared after. When the bill came we asked for separate checks an we're told they couldn't do it. I went up to the counter with our two credit cards and they asked "how much on each?"!! All this wrong and we were the only ones there at 2pm!

I recently was on a cruise ship that had a Manzanillo port call. As we wanted to just hang…read more around the port and not take taxis anywhere we spent the good part of an hour walking around the town directly across from the pier. On this October day it was still incredibly hot & HU-MID, REALLY different than my native San Diego weather. After having beers at a little convenience -type store front that had no food or mixed drinks we pressed on for another place, and ran into Los Candilles (located in the Hotel Colonial)....what a GEM !! As the pictures show, this is an interior courtyard of an old home, adjacent to the hotel. Inside it's preserved as built over 100 years ago to remain very period-based, classic Mexican architecture and décor. This place was built for the local heat with its THICK walls, high ceilings and fans. Even with no A/C we were very comfortable at our table. The bar is complete with all typical drinks offered you may want....plus of course excellent local beer selection. For all cruise ship tourists: I highly recommend Los Candiles for a great rest & relaxation to soak up local culture. This seems to be a big breakfast place, judging from all the local workers & families finishing theirs when we came in for lunch. Throw in the free Wi-Fi to catch up on your emails and send trip pictures and this establishment offers the full value happy meal :)

Restaurant is in historic Hotel Colonial. Beware exchange of pesos to US dollars. Our bill was…read more$200 pesos, they charged $14 in US dollars, should have been $10 per standard exchange rate, 40% overcharge. No one on staff spoke decent English so no way to dispute. Tacos were standard street-type soft with chewy carne, no onions or cilantro, not as good as you would get at Del Taco, were about $3.00 each if you consider overcharge conversion. Tacos were served wrapped in foil - tacky for a sit-down hotel restaurant. Ordered chicken and cheese enchiladas but what came were deep fried rolled taquitos, and taquitos aren't even on menu. So, an extra $4 to learn to bring pesos or ask exchange rate first. Lucky we didn't order the really expensive menu items!

My wife and I decided to visit El Fogon on Saturday evening for dinner…read more We order two margaritas and both were terrible for $190 pesos. Then we decided to share an order of braised pork shanks, and the shank was tender, but lacked flavour? The plate came with a tiny bit of red bean puree, small portion of tossed salad and a small basket of tortillas. Very poor value and although the pork was plentiful, the relation to the plate accompaniments was very poor! The worst was table tops were covered in tiny spiders, the tile edges were broken or chipped away. The flies were everywhere! Most of the plates were left upside down on each table, with the edges of the plates chipped and broken, plus the spiders for good luck! We also order some ice cream for dessert and they informed us, they didn't have what we wanted so we declined the order. $419 pesos for a very bad experience! Will likely never return as the place is dirty and poorly managed!
