El Marlin de Las Brisas

El Marlin de Las Brisas is a family-run seafood restaurant on Lázaro Cárdenas in the Las Brisas neighborhood of Manzanillo, Mexico, serving straightforward Mexican coastal cooking without a fine-dining framework. The menu centers on tacos de pescado, ceviche de camarón, and camarones al coco, coconut shrimp that is one of the kitchen's most ordered plates. The dining room is modest and family-oriented, with simple table seating, no dress code, and a relaxed, mid-volume atmosphere suited to a casual lunch rather than a special-occasion dinner. There is no dedicated wine program; drinks run to Mexican beer, micheladas, and soft drinks, in keeping with the restaurant's casual seafood-shack character. Reservations are not required, since the format favors walk-in dining, and it is busiest during the midday meal between roughly 1PM and 4PM when Las Brisas residents and beachgoers stop in for lunch.
