Las Hamacas del Mayor is a casual seafood restaurant on Calle Allende near the central plaza of Tecomán, Colima, Mexico, named for the hammocks that give the space its relaxed, coastal-shack character. The menu is built around aguachile de camarón, raw shrimp cured in a spicy lime-and-chile broth, alongside pescado a la talla and ceviche de camarón, all sourced from the Pacific catch that supplies Tecomán's seafood scene.

Las Hamacas del Mayor is a casual seafood restaurant on Calle Allende near the central plaza of Tecomán, Colima, Mexico, named for the hammocks that give the space its relaxed, coastal-shack character. The menu is built around aguachile de camarón, raw shrimp cured in a spicy lime-and-chile broth, alongside pescado a la talla and ceviche de camarón, all sourced from the Pacific catch that supplies Tecomán's seafood scene. The dining room lives up to its name, with hammock or hammock-style seating mixed among standard tables, an open-air layout, no dress code, and a laid-back, informal noise level suited to a long midday meal. There is no formal wine list; beer and micheladas are the typical drink orders alongside the spicy aguachile. Reservations are not required, given the casual walk-in format, and the restaurant is busiest during the lunch window, roughly 11AM to 3PM, when Tecomán's plaza-area workers and visitors stop in.
