Lamb chops
Carolina V.

Rodrigo and Angel took good care of us. We were a group of 6 visiting for the weekend. We had multiple dishes among them rollitos de pescado and the short rib tacos, we had different fish dishes same as the lamb chops with a great mint sauce. The desserts you have to try them. Highly recommended. We did not take pictures of the desserts.

Great upscale Thai/Mexican fusion restaurant. Fantastic views, especially at dusk. Food was good to great (skewers and desserts great, Pad Thai ok). Smaller wine list and staff were not that familiar. Speaking of staff--lots were available providing attentive service. Many spoke enough English that we didn't have any issues.

Ribeye tacos, tuna tartare, bread, mango martini

If you want a place with an amazing view, romantic vibe, excellent service, tasty drinks and delicious food, this is your place! We actually have went three times now within three weeks. I highly suggest the ribeye tacos for a starter. For the main course, if you love lobster, get it! Best lobster anywhere! I did also have the salmon curry and shrimp and sun, I think it's called, both very good as well. The dishes come with rice served in this banana boat, and it is so dang good. I haven't had rice like that before. Definitely put Zibu down as a place to try when in Acapulco!

Zibu MexThai Cuisine: This place definitely deserves a post of its own. Everything about it from the vibe, the live music, the interior design elements, the balcony views of the city, the food, man, this hands down had got to be one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at. 10 out of 10 for me easily. No filter on any pics. Check it out. Bread Rolls & Crackers - These free sit down bread rolls & crackers were super delicious, they came in three different types, 1) Bread Sticks 2) Croissant Rolls and 3) Cheese Stuffed Sesame Rolls. Delicious. Octopus (Pulpo) Carpaccio - Sliced Octopus with Toasted Green Citrus Apples and Coriander. Beef Paiko - Beef Medallions with Crunchy Basil Epazote (Skunkweed) and Carrots in a Truffle Oil Citrus Ponzu My favorite appetizer, OMG Wow Kari Gai Slightly Spicy - Green Thai Chicken Curry in a Coconut Milk with Steamed Rice and Fried Bananas. Super yummy Fusion Fish - Red Snapper Fillet from a local fisherman from Tecuanapa, Steam Wrapped in a Banana Leaf with Chile Sauce, Tomatoes, Coriander and Mushrooms. This was my favorite entree for sure , OMG yummy Chicken and Shrimp Pad Thai with Tamarind and Piquin Chili. Wasn't my favorite but was still worth a try. Pavlova - Meringue Cookie Layer with Mascarpone Cheese and Berry Topping. Extreme Almond Tulip - 3 different Sorbets (Berry, Lemon and Coconut I believe) topped with Fresh Strawberries and Mangoes in a Toasted Almond Tulip Shaped Shell. Amazing!! No lie, I couldn't decide between the two desserts which one was better, both And an Honorable mention, the Cappuccino was amazing paired with both deserts. Really good, I definitely recommend one with any of the desserts on the menu

Tuna tartar
Tiffany W.

Wow. Everything about this place is divine. The place is absolutely breath taking, the service is top notch and the food is spectacular. I highly recommend getting a good amount of things on the menu. These meals are so unique and full of flavor. However, the portions are small and at night time it's hard to see what you're eating with so little light. Anyways, best place in Acapulco!

Chicken pad Thai
Suley Z.

Oh my goodness. Everything we tried was so good. I was so in the moment I only took one picture. As always I always get pad Thai and it had a great flavor. Very authentic. My husband friend the coconut soup and it came in a coconut split in half. It was a beautiful setting and view of the ocean. Must try place.

There is no better view, watching the sunset here makes you feel like you are in paradise! We had a welcome cocktail here the night before our wedding, for our guest traveling from afar. I could not let them com to Acapulco and miss this place. The view, the sunset, the tamarindo margaritas, the gorgeous, sleek, bohemian decor, the food, the service... absolutely top notch!

This place is incredible. We came on our last night in Acapulco and I am actually considering rescheduling our trip so we can come again. I wish we had come every night we were here. Every dish was perfection, the service was above and beyond. The view is so beautiful...make sure you are here for sunset. The mountain blocks the actual sunset but the colors in the sky are just beautiful. Tomas, Luis & Jenaro were our waiters and we could not be happier. Geitzel was the hostess and was so nice and professional. We will definitely be back! This place sealed the deal on Acapulco for us.

Believe the ratings! ZIBU earns its reputation as best restaurant in Acapulco in my opinion! From the moment that you walk in the staff is inviting and accommodating. They make the experience here special. We travel a lot to different areas and I can say that the food experience here is second to none. The views and the ambiance of this beautiful gem of a dining experience are just the icing on the cake. ZIBU has a wonderful story behind it and the friendly staff tells it well. Thank you again to Rodrigo and Elimu (I hope spelled it correctly) for taking such good care of us and compliments again to the Chef for a perfect dinner from start to finish! We look forward to seeing you again for round two on Wednesday!

Toasting to the beatiful night surrounding
