This is obviously a restaurant designed for the unwary tourist. American prices for an uninspired menu. While the back room is very pleasant the service is so so and so was the experience.

My Wife and I had a terrific experience here. We stumbled across this Restaurant and loved all aspects - the service, food , drinks . Pricing made for an excellent value and the Scandinavian-Mexican Owner guy has a great personality and general knowledge. Three thumbs up !

Lobster is simply not to be missed, especially with the basil butter drizzle. WE... More

We had dinner and drinks here one evening and really enjoyed our experience. The service was great. Our meals were simple, but the fish was fresh and tasty - at a reasonable price. Good drinks too!

We enjoyed our meals and drinks at this tiny restaurant. Highly recommend the "Miami Beach" cocktail which is a combination of a strawberry daiquiri & a pina colada blended together! Awesome! The Tempranillo red wine by the bottle was excellent. We ordered the lobster with basil butter, ribeye steak and fresh mahi-mahi with mango buerre blanc sauce...everything was great! Waiter,... More

My wife and I had a wonderful lunch on the recommendation of a local gallery rep. Fish with mango sauce and organic salad. The whole experience was excellent.

We've been to El Zaguan many times, and it's always a joy to return. From the food which is wonderfully fresh (our favourite menu item is the Fish Tacos!), to the very friendly and personal service (Carlos is excellent!). El Zaguan has very reasonable prices, as well, and a convenient location right among the art galleries and shops of Todos... More
