After reading so many good things about this place we just had to check it out. So happy we did! We went twice for dinner during our 10 day stay. The owner, Antonio is really friendly and eager to please. We makes sure to come by and introduce himself and will cook you whatever you want, however you want it!... more

We ate there twice and ordered whole FRESH snapper grill with garlic butter sauce and lobster tails. They will prepare the way you want. We love the grilled fishes and rice but the margarita drink was ok. The waitress was nice enough to hold my infant so we can eat. Thank you. more

I was so disappointed in our visit to La Pesca, I almost had to wonder if we were at the same place as most reviews were positive. I will preface this by saying my Shrimp Casserole was very good, but I will stop there though. My wife got Sea Bass that was not only terrible, but had bones in almost... more

We have eaten at La Pesca dozens of times, and we have never had a bad experience. Our favorite dish is cazuela de camaron, or shrimp casserole--a thick, creamy, spicy bisque. It's really delicious.

This is a family business, owner Antonio, with his wife, children and brother all working to bring you the most wonderful meal. We have brought several of our own family... more

We ate there almost every day over two weeks. It is well worth trying. The fish is excellent. We particularly like their conch seviche and guacamole. The presentation and service are excellent. Try the mamey ice cream for a different and very tasty dessert. You won't be sorry. Their location in the palapa on Avenida 30 across Mega seems to... more

We had a great meal at La Pesca. I like that it's not on Fifth Avenue. Easy to find, less touristy area. Staff was great, food was great. Would return on another trip to PDC. more

Very good find, recommended by the owners of the Luna Blue hotel Tony and Cheri. We had Lobster (whole lobster for £12-bargain) and fillet steak. Both were excellent, staff were friendly and prices very reasonable....thouroughly enjoyed it more
