Ran into El Toro Güero on our way to hotel by accident. Never knew it existed and we were told this location has been around do 12 years. Looking at old photos of the exterior, it's no wonder we've passed this place up every time we've driven through. It was around evening time when we noticed their business sign -bright and vivid. We were familiar with the restaurant in Cabo so we knew the seafood would be good. We had to stop by as we were too starve to wait. We were greeted, seated and given menus immediately. A complimentary tea cup size fish broth arrived at our table; it was bland, but hot. I ordered my usual mixto civeche as my partner with her usual clams. Our food and drinks arrived in no time. While she had no complaints, unfortunately, my ceviche was not what I had expected. I figured since I liked the Toro Guero in Cabo so much, La Paz location would not disappoint. My mixto ceviche was dry and was missing seasoning. It was missing a "kick." Nonetheless, I lemoned it up and finished the entire dish without issues. Like I said, I was hungry. We returned today before our flight back home to San Diego. I wanted to try something new. The shrimp burrito was ok. Not alot of shrimp, too mushy due to guacamole and the tortilla fell apart....to heavy and wet. I used a fork to finish the rest. Staff members are attentive. I would return again and maybe try sometime different read more

This is a legit local joint for seafood. Located a 5-10 minute drive away from the touristy malecón center in La Paz. El Toro Güero is very popular with locals. The menu choices are numerous and varied, the seafood is very fresh, portions are large enough to share and prices are very reasonable. Lots of easy streetside parking. Ample open air dining under a huge palapa-like roof and roving mariachis during evenings. If you are searching for a great fish or seafood meal at a reasonable prices, make your way here for the real Mexican experience. read more

We ended up going here 3 times during our 10 day stay at La Paz. Food was good, ambience friendly, and for some reason they didnt have many flies even though it was an outdoor seating. Service was prompt and friendly. They had a lot of dishes in their menu though consistency wasnt there. Sometimes fresca was light sometimes more concentrated. Sonetimes food was more scrumptious sometimes lacking avocado. But if you do not expect perfection it was quite enjoyable there. read more

Their Pulpo is definitely the best I ever had! I will never forget this experience! Thank you La Paz

This is a simple, straightforward sort of place intent on serving up a great variety of local seafood. A big, open-air palapa, fast friendly local staff - this place is exactly what I was looking for. Loved it! read more

Didn't have to walk too far from our camping area. Very good and reasonable price seafood. From fresh fish to octopus to clams and their infamous cocktails. We ordered the grilled octopus and ahi tuna with garlic sauce. The portions are huge can't fish mine. They come with shrimp soup/broth with dinner. All the condiments to your choice. Service is very fast and friendly. Very island liked place to dine. read more

Great restaurant! Service was great, seated us right away and only took 10 minutes for food to come! Food was absurd! Especially their shrimp stuffed potatoes. It was made perfectly aside from the cheese being a tad too heavy. Vibe was nothing to write home about. It was Mexican style but more quiet which made it calmer. This restaurant was excellent in total! I highly recommend this as a go to place for La Paz seafood restaurants! read more

I always enjoy eating here when I am in La Paz the staff is great the food is always exceptional. My favorite is the garlic shrimp, lots of nicely cooked shrimp with delicious butter garlic sauce. Comes with salad, rice, and very good mashed potato. Last time I had the Baja style fish tacos was very good and the portion was enormous. It was enough for next days dinner. I highly recommend this place! read more

So good! Our whole dinner was fabulous! We got mango juices and it was really good. The soup appetizer that they handed out was good too. We got the fish tacos, shrimp empanadas and coconut shrimp. The empanadas were amazing- so flavorful and crispy. The only thing that I wouldn't get again would be the fist tacos- just not that good. We would definitely come back again. read more

It's a was meh experience. So many positive review and our friends have been here numerous times and heard nothing but great things. However, this visit with those friends were subpar. The food were overcooked, burnt and lack taste. The lobsters dish was very good and cooked well. The giant ship boat, "Fiesta de Camarones" was over battered in old oil and was mostly untouched by the end of dinner. The staff was great and services was fast. read more

We wanted fish tacos and were recommended by one of the servers at our hotel to come here. I had the camarones gobernador tacos and the shrimp empanadas. They were both good. My friends ordered the fish tacos but they were kind of disappointed that they had to assemble the tacos themselves. My husband ordered and liked the aguachiles. My strawberry margarita was strong. read more

Allow me to tell you my opinion of El Toro Güero.. first off I gave the restaurant 4 stars and here is why... We were a party of 10 they sat us very quick, slapped some menus on the table and returned in 10 min to take our orders. We ordered everything from sashimi, shrimp cocktails, fish tacos, oysters, lobster, empanadas, and whole fried sea bass. Everything was tasty but the fish tacos can be better they were lacking flavor. We were told that this place is a tourist restaurant not really a place the local visit, however this does not change the quality of the food. The mix drinks were strong and delicious. I would return to this place (after finding a local favorite) and would recommend to friends. - temperature check when entering - servers were mask - restaurant / restrooms are clean - service was average - would recommend and return - if you want the best fish tacos (IMO) go to El Zarape Malecon you won't be disappointed read more

Food is really good, prices are definitely great for the fact that this is a lot of good seafood. The place is for locals, clean, simple and things are well done. The oysters needed to be colder I think. The sauce of the house was marvelous. The coconut shrimp was dreamy. The lobster was really 3 lobster tails not a full one which was not explained in the menu, flavor was good but a little bit too much spices on the sauce. I think the veggie salad was contaminated because I got sick few hours after eating there and my partner and I ate the sea food but he did not eat the salad at all. So be careful with the veggies. Service was very attentive. read more

Cercas pero no tan cercas a la zona turística. Los mariscos son excelentes. Ambiente familiar. Y la comida esta muy rica para todos.

One of the best seafood in La Paz, this place was recommended by our Airbnb host and lived up to everything that was mentioned about this place. A must try place for seafood read more

The walk from La Paz Marina was a cultural experience for the kiddos but the destination was worth it!! Delicious fresh seafood and friendly service. The live music was entertaining. The portions are more than generous so don't over order. My fave was the Marlin Empanadas ....only complaint is that the bathrooms were pretty bad, even for La Paz. read more

Pulpo Atropellado, I'll be singing your praises for days. Octopus boiled until soft enough to cut with a spoon then finished on the grill. Served over a bed of vegetables sauteed in butter: onions, bell peppers, chilis, and garlic. The rest of their food is incredible as well, and the portions are generous. read more

Seriously good seafood, local prices not tourist prices. Location is about 8-10 min. drive from the Malecon. Totally worth it to make any effort to get here! My partner & I stopped by as we were looking for somewhere to eat while waiting to get into our nearby Airbnb. What a find! We can eat alot, but the portions were so generous we had to box up some for later! The servers don't speak much English so brush up on your Duolingo Restaurant modules before visiting or use online translate. I ordered fish filet & it came with side of rice, mashed potatoes & salad. Lots of fish. So tasty. You will be served soup to start with tostadas & crackers. Also a basket of hot sauce options! As you can see from other reviews, you can order seafood in every way imaginable - ceviche, fried, breaded, etc. Cheap local beer too. This was the best value meal I had after road tripping around Baja Sur for a couple weeks. Highly recommend! read more

Phenomenal. If you have the opportunity to eat here do it. Freshest and best Octopus I've ever had. Can't wait to eat there again.

Tried it after reviewing several options near us. It didn't disappoint. A little down the main road from the Malecón which may put it out of reach for some looking for something close. Service was prompt although it was not busy when we were there. Shrimp Empanada was great, so was the shrimp taco el gobernador style. My partner had the arrachera plate. It was decent but again this is a seafood spot. Seating is all under one giant rancho style cover, noise from the street traffic may annoy some but it wasn't terrible. read more

Food and service were 10/10. Everything our large party had was fresh and amazing. I personally had a Maleficio the scallops and shrimp were as fresh AF. Fish tacos are pretty big but so good! and tostadas never fail. After spending 5 days visiting the best restaurants in town this one has been my favorite! Can't wait to be back. read more

I ordered el toro ceviche tostada. I thought it was going to be toro fish which is jack crevalle, so I was shocked to see this in front of me. Looks like octopus, shrimp, clam, maybe scallops too. Not bad but not great. Not super fresh tasting, a little fishy. Could be better but could have been way worse. Sierra tostada just tasted like canned tuna and carrots. So many carrots it barely tasted like there wa a anything else in there. Needs more seasoning too. read more

Great local restaurant, with great seafood options. This restaurant seems to be a local hang out. Pretty much everyone that works there speaks very little English. The margaritas were delicious and so was our food. We ordered shrimp, tacos, sweet and spicy shrimp, and shrimp fajitas. I highly recommend the shrimp fajitas. The restaurant is all outdoors with a covered top, and is on one of the main streets. read more

This place has great natural fruit drinks. The food is great and plenty. Service is quick and easy. The only thing that was an issue again is the flies. Which isn't a surprise at a seafood restaurant, but it's not something one should have to tolerate. Other than that I would recommend it. read more

Cannot say anything bad! My husband ordered the seafood molcajete and it was seriously off the hook. Like.. A huge molcajete filled with shrimp scallops octopus cucumber onion tomato. He LOVES octopus but I've never been a big fan. Anyway I tried a few bites and let me just say that I like fresh octopus! Something about the food in Mexico makes the same octopus taste amazeballs. I am not a shrimp fan but he is and his eyes were rolling back in his head in response to the unbelievable freshness and flavors. The scallops had a buttery and rich flavor... Something we both fail to put into words. I'm mostly vegetarian although not so strict that I won't try bites... I don't mind the taste of meat but I have an autoimmune condition that causes very negative reactions to dead animal products, even gelatin. That being said I have become highly experienced in cheese and eggs which leads me to... CHILE RELLENOS holy shit. These were so different than any chile rellenos I've ever had. They used yellow peppers, stuffed with that special Mexican melty cheese like fundido? I'm honestly not sure because once I start stuffing my face I don't want to talk anymore lol. Anyway the rellenos were BREADED IN PANKO OMG on a bed of something like rice pilaf with a side of tartar sauce. I also ordered chips and guac... Which i wish I was still eating right this minute even though we ate there 24 hours ago and a lot has happened since then! As far as price goes... It was considerably more than what we usually pay, but still very reasonable compared to US prices. We spent 550 MXN (before tip) approx $27 US. At home, his meal alone would have at cost least $30 US. All together we got: A Bucket of beers Chips and guac Chile rellenos Seafod molcajete We both highly recommend this place... It's a fav among locals and for obvious reasons!!! read more
