We ate at El Fish Fretanga for an early 2023 New Years eve dinner and the food and laid back beach/palm tree/Palapa setting made it even more enjoyable. This is probably our favorite seafood restaurant close to the Westin Lagunamar resort. We had a cheese...appetizer $149Mex, spinach and apple salad $133 Mex, incredible Salmon Crema Limon (outstanding) $395 Mex, Cameron's (shrimp) Fiesta $335 Mex and margaritas Herradu? $270 Mex. Everything we have ever eaten here is worth coming back for! Great prices, awesome food and relaxing beach vibe atmosphere!More

Water Marco is very attentive, red snapper is made from scratch, fried to golden brown- perfect! The only thing I would recommend is more cognac choices. Mucho gracias!
