3 Best Restaurants in Costera, Acapulco

Along the Costera Miguel Alemán are several of these 24-hour restaurants specializing in quick service and light, healthy food: sandwiches made with whole wheat bread, soy burgers, chicken dishes, yogurt shakes, and fruit salads. You'll recognize these eateries by their green signs with white lettering. The original—the first, and best, in this now-national chain—is across from the Grand Hotel Acapulco.

This casual open-air street-side eatery specializes in hearty Mexican food. The place is open 24 hours most days—although on Tuesday the folks here open at a leisurely 3 pm—serving Acapulco's famous green-and-white pozole as well as steak dishes like filete tampiqueña (a strip of tender grilled beef), which comes with tacos, enchiladas, guacamole, and beans.
