Mariscos Cuyutlán is a family-run seafood restaurant on Av. Venustiano Carranza in the Centro of Cuyutlán, Colima, Mexico, operated by a local fishing family near the town's malecón. The menu draws directly on that fishing background: ceviche de pescado, camarones al mojo de ajo, garlic shrimp, and tacos de pescado make up the core offerings, all sourced from Cuyutlán's own catch rather than trucked in from elsewhere.

Mariscos Cuyutlán is a family-run seafood restaurant on Av. Venustiano Carranza in the Centro of Cuyutlán, Colima, Mexico, operated by a local fishing family near the town's malecón. The menu draws directly on that fishing background: ceviche de pescado, camarones al mojo de ajo, garlic shrimp, and tacos de pescado make up the core offerings, all sourced from Cuyutlán's own catch rather than trucked in from elsewhere. The dining room is modest and coastal in character, with simple tables, no dress code, and a relaxed, unhurried noise level suited to the small beach town's pace. There is no formal wine program; beer and soft drinks are the standard accompaniments. Reservations are not required, since the restaurant operates on a walk-in basis, but the limited hours — Tuesday through Sunday, 11AM to 5:30PM, closed Monday — mean it is worth timing a visit to fall within that window, particularly around the traditional midday meal.
