$$ Drake Bay Spanish

About

An afternoon-and-evening seafood restaurant in Agujitas, open 3pm to 10pm daily. The high points in reviews are the grilled tuna fillet, a whole lobster one diner called unbelievable, and a seafood soup described as among the best a traveler had ever tasted — with waiter Ricardo singled out for warmth. Experiences vary, though: some visitors found the ceviche watery, the patacones dry, waits long, and the welcome lukewarm. Portions are generous either way. Takeout, delivery, vegetarian options, and outdoor seating are available.

The shrimp ceviche was okay, but the patacones were completely dry. The grilled tuna fillet was delicious. The service wasn't particularly attentive. You'll certainly leave full, but there are restaurants with a nicer atmosphere in Drake Bay.

Exceptional dinner and a truly wonderful experience. The food was incredibly delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared. My seafood soup was one of the best I’ve ever had. Special thanks to our waiter Ricardo, whose kindness and warmth made the evening even more special. We felt very welcome and at home. Wonderful people and a lovely atmosphere — we wholeheartedly recommend this place. 🌊✨

Honestly disappointment- First atmosphere was poor. You didn't feel welcomed . You rather felt like you were annoying them and that they just wanted you to sit down, eat, pay and leave. The ceviche was sad. Definitely not the best one. It was like fish swimming in a lemon pool. With two flat fried something. You definitely didn't eat with this. Not value for the money. We ordered two passion fruit smoothies. One was passion fruit flavored water, the other was a real juice like expected with ice.. how can you fail one and manage the other ? At the end we left and got desert in a different restaurant which was way nicer and friendly
