Gastronomy

Zihuatanejo features restaurants where you can enjoy the best international food; however, it is also the ideal place to enjoy typical food from the Big Coast in Guerrero.

Due to the proximity of the sea, the main dishes of the regional cuisine are made mainly with seafood. Clams, limpets, snails, barnacles, octopus, shrimp and lobster can be found in the waters near the port. The region is rich in sea bass, sea mullet, cabezuda, bluegill and cuatete.

The main typical dishes of the city are the alive or cooked clam, limpet, fish grilled with mangrove wood, and fish sticks with lemon.

The culinary tradition of the port has changed substantially due to the growth of the city and the increase of the number of tourists; however, it is possible to enjoy the region’s typical dish, lizard fried with garlic. Other dishes that are part of the regional gastronomy are Aporreadillo, green pozole, different tamales and chicken chalupas.

Zihuatanejo’s typical drink is, without a doubt, the coconut water, which is the favorite of the local people and visitors due to its delicious flavor; it is also used to prepare cocktails. Around the city, there are ice cream stores where they sell a great variety of fruit waters.
