“ Beautiful presentation and delicious food, what a treat! The staff were extremely welcoming and thoughtful. Very reasonably priced for the quality of the meal, 10/10 would recommend to anyone. ”
“ We have ate at a few places in zihuatanejo and this is was the best. I don't write reviews but I felt very compelled to do so. This place offers luxurious food and service but at very good price. You could tell the owner wanted to showcase love for her guests. The Margareta was the best I've had in mexico and I have been here 3 times. The service felt like a very fine dinning experience. The food was clean and very well thought of. This chef went to school forsure. No view of the bay but with this kind of food you don't need it. I Strongly recommend this place to anybody. ”
“ This is probabely the best place in Zihua for an outstanding dinner experience. The couple who run the place does everything to make it an unforgetable experience. The prices of the dishes aren't overpriced and the prices of the beverages are also very reasonable. The head waiter does an excelent job and the service was perfect We had a cocktail, a starter, main dish and desert and a bottle of whine. I will definitely go back there very soon. ”
“ This is my third winter in Zihua. I've eaten at La Gula several times while I have been here. The service as always top notch, and the owners are wonderful people. There are many good restaurants in town, but the food is definitely exceptional at La Gula. ”
“ We had a really wonderful and special experience here. The couple who own and run the place, one the chef and the other in the dining area, were absolutely lovely and gracious. The service was excellent. Pacing was gentle but fast and respectful. Food was excellent and inventive and presentation was outstanding. Bread was provided free, prices were very good, and the location is charming and has an elevated small town atmosphere. Reminds us of hillside Italian towns on the northern Mediterranean coast. Thank you to La Gula. ”
“ Our second dinner at La Gula to celebrate my wife's birthday in as many years. The food, as usual, was excellent. Prepared perfectly and very tasty. The bacon-wrapped shrimp over a bed of mushroom risotto was awesome, as was the seafood bisque. The service at our table was good, but a little slow at times. Understandable because they had a very large group dining at the same time. I emailed the restaurant in advance to make a reservation and Carlos took care of it for us. He even arranged for a small birthday cake for my wife, which was very thoughtful and delicious! La Gula seems like a busy spot. I would recommend making a reservation. I paid with VISA, so I assume other major credit cards, USD, and of course Pesos are accepted. ”
“ I’ve been coming to Zihuatanejo since 2011 and have eaten at dozens of restaurants from super high end to street corners, and this was by far the best meal I’ve ever had. The octopus starter was superb. The whole fish (red snapper) was perfectly cooked and accompanied with subtle yet delicious vegetables. My wife had the Mahi Mahi with shrimp in a corn sauce...unbelievable. Service was amazing and the desert just to die for. Reservation for our last night already made. Skip the foo foo and make a reservation here. You won’t be disappointed. ”
“ The best restaurant in zihua! Everything we so delicious and the service was next level! Wish we ate here every night during our stay. The mahi mahi with shrimp and the seared tuna steak were perfectly seasoned and cooked. The spinach salad with grilled pear was a delight. And the compound butter served with banana bread was out of this world. I appreciated they poured an Italian Pinot Grigio by the glass. ”
