Great beach front location for good, honest Mexican seafood. Try the octopus in it's own ink or the fish in garlic sauce. The ceviches and cocktails are also very good. This is not a gourmet restaurant but has been one of my favorites for more than 20 years. More

Pelicano's was located perfectly to the shops so that if you needed to cool off fro the heat, have a beer or use the bathrooms. Staff was very friendly. More

Stopped in for breakfast based on the prime location and nice view. They had the worst chilaquiles I've tried, and the huevos rancheros were also sub-par. Both dishes were very mushy, the tortillas were either not fried at all, or just not fried long enough. The service was friendly. I feel a lot of places with great views seem to... More

I liked the setting, the food - a little pricy, but worth it. Service was superb when we were there. I look forward to returning. More
