“ Great seaside restaurant, warm ambiance, nice food. Attached to Hotel Marbella, El Marinero is a cut above for a retaurant of this kind. With a warm welcome and friendly, attentive service, it offers a wide selection of dishes, all of which are well prepared and presented. Sea views from the patio are outstanding, and pricing is fair, overall. Highly recommended, if you're in the area. ”
“ We just arrived in Manzanillo and we're staying at the City Express and this restaurant was in walking distance plus it is right at the ocean edge and a great place to watch the sunset. The view was perfect and Juan and Julio did a wonderful job taking care of us. We ordered a couple double shot margaritas, an ice tea, a summer salad, ahi in creamy chipotle/w rice and veggies, and shrimp Diablo with rice and veggies. It was all deliciosa and for $65 including tip. Muy bueno! ”
“ Excellent food, steaks very tender and delicious, filet mignon the best, spaghetti wow, the had a guy playing romantic music, ”
“ Strawberry margarita was delicious. Little ham and cheese bread croissants were fantastic, never had that sort of thing. Shrimp caeser salad was very good, the shrimp were steamed just right. Garlic soup was totally not what I was expecting, but very good. Had a runny egg in it, hot peppers, who knows what else. Salad of the sea was ... Interesting, but not what we were hoping for. We don't eat squid of octopus (seem at least as smart as some people I've interacted with) and this had octopus in it. And no greenery (not that sort of salad it turns out). Our fault for not asking. Shrimp soup had giant shrimp/prawns with heads and tails, flavor was good but i think garlic soup was better. Shrimp stuffed peppers were really good. Service was great, but they were working on the outside seating so there was welding and stuff going on between us and the ocean. Also, the shrimp soups came after our meals and were ludicrously large, again our fault for not asking but ended up being an enormous amount of food. ”
“ My favorite in Manzanillo. Great beachfront restaurant, quality food and service! ”
