Puerta del Sol - ZIHUATANEJO

Mi esposo lo dijo mejor, siento que acabamos de cenar en casa de un amigo. Comer en Puerta del Sol es toda una experiencia. Disfrutamos de una ensalada César, filete de ternera Stroganoff flambeado y plátano kahlua flambeado, todo preparado en la mesa frente a nosotros. Gabby y Sergio fueron unos anfitriones maravillosos, y definitivamente volveremos.

We brought Gabby our freshly caught mahi and she worked wonders with it. Every course was thoughtfully prepared and had well balanced flavors (a consistent issue with the food in Mexico). The Peruvian ceviche was amazing. Gabby and Jorge were professional yet welcoming and you will regret not eating here!

We had seen pretty good reviews and we knew one of the Thursday night musicians. So, we decided to give it a try. We arrived at our 7 pm reservation that we had made a week prior. We were told that we didn’t have a reservation. The owner proceeded to go back to a table and ignore us while he prepared a salad. He eventually came back and argued that there was no reservation. We explained that we had spoken to him. He then proceeded to get some tables together for us. We had a group of 7. He then just glared at us the entire evening. The owner REFUSED to break our check into 3 checks upon arrival. Whereas, the table next to us had 4 checks!! Three of us ordered a beer, they brought 6 beers. We assumed it was some type of promotion. We ordered 3 more beers and they brought 6 more. When the bill arrived 3 hours later, they charged us for 12 BEERS at 70 pesos a beer. It was a complete bait and switch ordeal. The dinners were not that good. Stuffed chicken breast was like chicken jerky with banana filling. Stroganoff portions were way too small for the 300 pesos charge. The flambé shrimp was only 4 pieces of shrimp. The steak medallions were too small. Whole experience 3 hours waiting for food and the 20 minute wait to get our one bill while owner ignored us. Music was the only thing enjoyable. We spent way too much money for so little food. We had to have more food when we got home. Prices are Way overpriced! 70 peso beer !! NO! Never again will we go back. So many enjoyable experiences at other restaurants in Zihuatanejo.

Our family of 6 had a wonderful dinner here. Everyone loved their food, the service was friendly, and the restaurant had a nice ambience. I’d definitely recommend this place!

The sign on the Front says “Slow Food”, if you are a Party of 4 or more and can’t wait for an Excellent dining Experience, please go someplace else and you will be missing one of the most Incredible Experience of your Trip. Background Music makes it Special and you once in a while can catch the Owner serenading you, while tossing your Caesar Salad. Nice Variety of Menu items, I chose Seafood Shells and was Surprised at the presentation, came in real Shells. Excellent Dish! Was a Totally Romantic Dining Experience and will return each year we come back.
