    Fried shrimp plate
    Tim P.

    We ate both lunch and dinner at this place. Great location on the beach. The only thing is they close at 6:00 so the workers can get home. As long as you are there by 6:00 you can eat but they will be putting everything up around you. Good thing is the service will be quicker than normal. At lunch we ordered some very cold Dos XX to enjoy with our view of the water and our feet in the sand. My wife got the blue crab stuffed avocado over lettuce. It was loaded with a sweet blue crab in a light mayonnaise sauce. Delicious. I got the blue crab and cheese empanadas. They were delicious and they came with pickled onions and a spicy sauce. When we went back for dinner we split two plates. We had the fried shrimp and the fried calamari. Both dishes came with a very good serving of rice and seasoned vegetables. We particularly liked the steamed chayote. Very good. We really enjoyed this beachfront restaurant.

    This a nice "toes in sand" beach restaurant. I usually do not care for fish but enjoyed my diablo filet and my wife enjoyed her shrimp. The service was quick and friendly. The restaurant also has very clean bathrooms, showers and a changing area if you want to go swimming. Definitely recommend Los Pampanos when in Celestun

    Tasty crab ceviche right on the beach. Try the habanero sauce if you dare. Wonderful view and good service.

    What youre really paying for a view of the beach. This wont be a meal you remember, but its hard to…read moreargue that should go somewhere else in the this town, when everyone is getting the same seafood straight from the ocean that's next to them. I ended up here because my tour guide had this place scouted out for our celestun day trip. I wish I had more control over where I was going to eat, but thats what I get for not asking hard questions before we go on our trip. If you like the beach, then of course its beautiful scenery. The tables are actually in sand and the straw awnings covering you is the restaurant "interior". The Pina colada is mostly just coconut cream. Not much else flavor came from it. The mango daiquiri was ok as well, where it felt like a muted mango popsicle and that's it. I don't expect artisan mixologist here, but their drinks are a weak point. The crab empanadas are quite dense in breading. The crab is fresh, but it wasn't as flavorful as I would have expected. The mixed seafood cocktail was great! A bunch of fresh seafood is a thick tomato sauce that wasnt heartburn inducing. They could have used less pepper, but overall it was my favorite part of the meal. The shrimp mojo de Ajo was good, but they barely give you any shrimp. The bland rice and steamed veggies they serve soak up the extra mojo de Ajo sauce, but it's ultimately filler. Id say this was the biggest rip off I had portion wise. Our server was fine, but they were pretty spaced out for most of the meal. I had to walk over to him and flag him down since he wasn't paying attention to once we ended the meal. Im more upset that our tour guide thought this was a good place. Its OK if you choose the right things, but theres alot of mediocre items on the list. Id say order the seafood cocktail or try somewhere else.

    Great relaxing front beach restaurant. Staff very friendly…read moreand attentive for a sand restaurant. The food is delicious
