La Pirata is small structure on the side of the main road leading into Los Barriles across from the bank. You could easily miss it if you blink. ;) The three of us sat down at a table in the middle of the establishment. They had the fans going, but because they use a wood burning fire, it is very smokey and you will end up smelling like a barbecue. As long as you don't mind that, the food was really good. We started off with the camaron ceviche (shrimp/prawn). It was priced at $7.50 usd which I thought was a bit on the pricer side for mexico, but it was huge and easily enough for 3 people as an appetizer. The chips here are store bought, not homemade, but I didn't come here for the chips. Next up was the entree. I ordered camaron imperales ($14) - huge prawns with cheese wrapped in bacon. They were really good a little bit too much cheese for me, but still tasty. They boys split the Pirata Combination ($16) which was one camaron imperales, one coconut shrimp topped with banana, one seabass, one piece of octopus served with a potato on top of a salad. They boys loved the combo! They have a variety of soda, beer and wine. I stuck with a homemade lemonade which was made with sparkling water. Service was great, street parking was easy. For the quality of food, the prices are reasonable. read more

This restaurant is now closed. Such a bummer. This was BY FAR our favorite restaurant in LB For those people who said this had bad atmosphere, you didn't get it. This was the best thing about it. This was family run. It was all about the food. LB is not the same anymore. read more

Awesome seafood super fresh! Longest wait ever for food! Hope you like getting drunk why you wait, the manager likes to come around with a bottle of Don Quilio and give you shots. After kiting all day I was exhausted and I waiting about 1.5 hrs for my food. With that said, it was delicious. A bit on the pricer side but those ladies know what they are doing. I had the ceviche -huge portion, could easily share with 3-4 people. The impresa shrimp taco. Shrimp rolled in bacon and stuffed with cheese = yes please. Minus one star for the long wait, but the food was awesome....or maybe I was just starving by that point. read more

From reading all the positive review of Yelpers, we decided to give La Pirata a try for dinner. It has a small store front so it's easy to miss but inside is quite spacious. Almost all outdoor seating with a covered roof. The only bad part was that the flies were all over us especially when dinner arrived. The poor waiter stood over us fanning them away with a menu! What service or how unsanitary! The food is mostly cooked over open wood fire and so so delicious. They give you a ton of food for the price. Margarita was to die for. Service was prompt and friendly. If it weren't for the flies...I'd give a 5 Star read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. Chips and salsa were good. Ceviche was also well executed. Fish and shrimp tacos were only ok. Both were made with fresh ingredients and homemade tortillas. But the seafood was totally unseasoned and bland. I liked that they were grilled rather than battered and fried, but they were flavorless. The margaritas were substantial portions, but just mediocre. Service was friendly and helpful. I'd try it again. read more

Our favorite restaurant in this sleepy fishing town... The presentation is awesome and Crystal is an artist with great food cooked over an open fire.. would encourage anyone to visit and be patient, your on Mexico time... uno mas.. read more

Food was good, I gave 3 stars because the smoke from the open flamed grill was a lot to take in while trying to have a nice dinner and for the love of god, if you take cash only, post it on a sign or something letting customers know before they order over $100 worth of food. I felt bad we couldn't leave a tip because we didn't have enough cash on hand. Lobster was cooked in butter so if you love butter, this place is amazing! I'll go back to try the shrimp only dishes. read more

Really good. Went there 2 nights in a row. Had the aquachile camarones which was great. Prices were really good and the beer was cold.

Everything was delicious and for a random Mexican restaurant in Los Barillos, it was amazing. The food and presentation was better than 90% of US restaurants. Loved it and likely going back for the Pirata Fiesta! read more

Stopped in for some tacos to go after a day of fishing. I had the octopus and fried fish tacos. They were very delicious and I liked how they gave me salsa and other condiments to take with me. I didn't eat in, but it seemed like a nice outdoor area. I would go again read more

An amazing true "Hole in the Wall". Wow, can she cook! We had the garlic sea bass and seafood stuffed chile relleno. As we left she was grilling lobster tails over a mesquite log on the grill. Go! read more

This is a hidden gem with the best seafood for the best price. We drove all the way from los Cabo's to try this place out and we were not disappointed. So cheap but the food is so fresh. And the presentation was awesome!! I highly recommend this place. read more

OMG. I have worked with some of the top chefs at the Napa wine auction and she is truly special. She pays attention to detail and oversees each plate coming out of the kitchen. Of course, you have to be patient for this perfection. Enjoy your company and relish the beauty and wonderful flavors that come out of this little kitchen. Everything is cooked over an outdoor mesquite grill. If this restaurant was in Las Vegas, she would have won awards for top Chef. read more

This is one of the best restaurants in this beautiful little fishing village. All ingredients are fresh. The presentation is beautiful and the people/owners are very very friendly. We have spent 5 days here and came back to this restaurant several times. We have not been dissatisfied, on the contrary, always impressed. Every time we came, he poured a shot or two of tequila (on the house). Excellent!!! read more

Fantastic!! The Camaron Imperial is delicious! It was so good today we ordered dinner twice! Margaritas are good, too! read more

We wanted to eat on the beach, but I'm so glad the other restaurant we were heading to was closed because we would have missed trying this place. We loved the friendly staff and watching our meal expertly cooked in cast-iron pots on a wood-burning stove. I'd call this place rustic, authentic and warm. Each dish was delicious and presented with a beautiful flair. They also served some of the best salsa I've found in Mexico. We'd definitely return for a repeat meal of coconut and bacon-wrapped shrimp. read more

We went there last night and couldn't understand the reason for good reviews. There is no ambiance of any sort: the white walls are covered in random writings by previous guest which gives the appearance of walls in a public bathroom in a bad neighborhood. Most of the menu items were not available (seafood comes from Mazatlan the owner explained to us). The only option was bbq red snapper which came cooked whole with tons of burnt garlic and mayonnaise. The unpleasant dining experience turned really horrific when the owner kicked a nice friendly dog that was sleeping under one of the tables into the street and the dog was hit by a car... read more

This is one of the places we always visit when we are in LB. One of our faves. Wonderful dishes prepared on the fire, fresh. Seafood dishes...oh my. We haven't had anything we didn't love. Another reviewer mentioned slow service, but in my experience, that's how things are done pretty much everywhere there. Family owned and operated...we were there Mother's Day and we got to see the family give mom her goodies and they even shared their cake with the customers! Awesome food, awesome people. read more

Muy bueno! Me and Mayra my love came here and enjoyed two great seafood meals. Great price and great flavor.

Delicious fare, expertly prepared with very creative presentation! Don't be turned off by the grumpy man waiter who seems to know nothing about the menu or the whole idea of what the brilliant young female chefs are trying to do. The prosciutto wrapped prawns are amazing and the coconut shrimp delightful. Great value-large servings at a very fair price. Hats off to the two ladies working the wood fired plancha. read more

Stopped in for the coconut shrimp and imperial shrimp. Both were delicious and the presentation was beautiful. On the downside the flies swarming around and on the food was unbearable. read more

Food was awesome. We had the ceviche and shrimp tacos. It's right next door to the grocery store.

One of our favorites. Everything is delicious here. There are a lot of shrimp and prawn dishes. The shrimp cocktail is the absolute best!

Stopped in based on Yelp reviews. Very good food. We had the fish ceviche, and shrimp and fish tacos. All were really good and the taste and quality were excellent. The people next to us had a shrimp platter and that looked really good. Overall, excellent food and recommended. Service was a bit slow but we had nowhere to go so it worked well. read more

Hands down one of the best places to eat in Los Barriles! Everything on menu is great! Try the Doctorino or canpachana! The coconut encrusted fish I great. All cooked over mesquite....don't miss this place!! read more
