Where to Eat on Zicatela
The malecón strip along Zicatela is Puerto’s front porch: the highest density of bars and restaurants in town, aimed straight at the sunset. Quality here tracks distance from the loudest music. The strip holds several of the town’s genuinely ambitious kitchens — you just have to walk past the laminated-menu places to find them.
