Restaurante Los Girasoles

$$

This oceanfront restaurant has seen better times, but it still has a reputation as one of the best spots to eat in South of PV. Part of the Girasoles Condominium Complex, it's right on the beach, offering customers extraordinary views of the Pacific Ocean and the legendary sunsets of the region. The seafood is good but lacks originality.

322-228--0350
Known For
  • Great ocean views
  • Seafood salad
  • Delicious margaritas
