Hidden gem in La Cruz! Went here for dinner tonight and everything was excellent. The red snapper had so much flavor from the smoked grill. The guava pie is also a must. Huge portions, great prices, and friendly staff.

My family and I came here for dinner and it was exceptional. We had a variety of dishes from conch salad, beef burritos, lobster, coconut shrimp, octopus, corn ice cream and guava pie Everything was delicious, portions were surprisingly large and the prices were much lower than expected for the quality. The service was great and the views were rustic but very nice. Highly recommend

Great view, attentive service and pretty good food. We had the 1kg red snapper. It was very fresh but overcooked and dry. The seasoning was excellent. We will return hoping the chef was having an off day.

We went back to this restaurant three times during our week plus stay in La Cruz. The food is very good and the friendly people, location and atmosphere make it an excellent place to sit and enjoy wonderfully prepared fresh seafood. I’m dreaming about the shrimp tacos and grilled fresh filet right now.

Great food, great atmosphere and friendly staff make returning here an easy decision. El Mirador is just off the beaten path and is not a tourist trap. One of my favourite in LaCruz.
