The variety offered in Acapulco restaurants
make this resort one of the most
appealing beach destinations in the world.
The por t’s typical food is an inspiring
crossbred gastronomy which
conjugates pre-Hispanic and European
tastes. A result of this crossbred is the
famous pozole, a weighty bowl (pozolero)
overflowing with a white broth comprising
lemon, oregano, onion, avocado, green
chilli and crackling fried delicious sardines. This dish is served
traditionally on Thursdays in many restaurants. Of course, you
can also find excellent sea food, and some of the most popular
are: "Vuelve a la Vida" (Come to life), consists of fish, shrimp,
snails, octopus and clams, marinated in lime juice, and
"A la Talla Fish" (grilled fish Acapulco style).
Acapulco is definitely the place to
go out and have a good time!.
Acapulco is home to world class
nightlife and clubs, and they
open late and may stay open
until sunrise. Many of the bars keep the same closing hours.
One way to start the night is enjoying the spectacular dive
show at La Quebrada, with the divers climbing a rocky crag
about 115 feet above sea level; the majestic dive at night is
with lit by torches
Beside, you can enjoy Acapulco's
dazzling and sophisticated
restaurants and night clubs with
a one of a kind view of Acapulco
Bay, with its millions of lights
reflecting in the water.
