Casa Elvira
$-$$$$, Mexican, Zihuatanejo
User Rating: **** 3.5
Fodor's Review:
This institution is right on the malecón, just a few steps from the fish market. It's not fancy, but the walls radiate bright orange, and a courtyard fountain splashes in a minor key. The staff is helpful yet unobtrusive, and the food habitually good. The fare consists of Mexican dishes and such simple seafood plates as fish steamed in foil and served with rice and french fries. Lobster is a specialty, though it and the well-loved seafood platter will push your tab into the $$$ category.

Oysters Rockefeller are the best on the planet, and the Red Snapper was superior.

Greatest restaurant we found in the city. Atmosphere is wonderful. Waiters the best. Food is terrific, Oysters Rockefeller to die for, and Mama Elvira is a queen. Jorhe was always right.RATING: 5.0
Overdone, over-rated

Ate at Casa Elvira on 12/14/05. The atmosphere for people-watching was great. The red snapper was over-cooked. The accompanying vegetables were boiled tasteless, and the rice was dry. Lunch was $29.50 for two red snappers and 2 Pacifico beers. Then,imagine our surprise when we tried to pay by credit card & were told, "Cash only." Showing the Visa/Mastercard listing in the guide books made no difference.RATING: 2.0
