“ Off the beaten path, what you look for in a traditional local establishment. The mom is the cook and the flavors are traditional, her cooking is exceptional. Very friendly. Her daughters are there serving to ensure that your dining experience is everything you’d want it to be. Super fresh food, homemade, prices are extremely reasonable. I ordered the Pescado Vera Cruz and it was delicious. Local caught in super fresh. Wife ordered pollo tacos, came with some great Stone Corn tortillas. If you’re looking for top notch food quality and a great atmosphere, there’s a reason why this has almost 5 stars across the board. Thank you to La Familia for the great experience and food. ”

“ We found Palma Grande on the last night of a 2 week stay in Zihua. We wish we found it sooner. These were the best margaritas we had on our trip, and only 70 pesos for a large! We had an extremely tasty dinner, and a delicious huge bowl of guacamole. We chatted with the very friendly owner. 10/10 we will be back!! ”

“ This was our first time at Palma Grand and we had a really lovely dinner here. What we discovered was a fantastic family owned restaurant in Zihuatanejo centro. It's set back in a courtyard so traffic and other distractions aren't really an issue. It was nice that the owner of this restaurant speaks english much better than we speak Spanish. The margaritas are very reasonably priced and aren't the standard sugary ones we've had elsewhere. The mango was fresh. Also the grande size didn't cost much more that the regular size. They were much better than the sugary juice margaritas we've been served at many other places. We were originally thinking that for we'd have tacos or burritos, however the prices were VERY reasonable and the fresh caught tuna and a combination mixed skewer were recommended.  Based on our experience with the delicious margaritas we went with his recommendations. We weren't disappointed. The meals were cooked perfectly and didn't require any additional salt or flavoring. The small portion of pasta served with the meal was quite good. We may order one if the pasta dishes when we go there next time. And there will be next time! ”

“ There are many good restaurants in Zihuatanejo but this is one of the best meals I had anywhere in Mexico. Everything we tried was elevated above your typical Mexican restaurant. Desayunos, juices, stuffed chicken, burritos, fish in cilantro sauce. We went several times after we found Palma Grande because everything was so good. ”
