Mariscos El Pacífico

Mariscos El Pacífico is a casual seafood restaurant in the El Pacífico neighborhood of Las Brisas in Manzanillo, Mexico, serving Mexican coastal cooking centered on whole fried fish. The kitchen's best-known dish is huachinango frito entero, a whole red snapper fried and served intact, alongside arroz a la tumbada, a brothy rice-and-seafood dish, and coctel de camarón. There is no chef-driven fine-dining concept; the restaurant is a neighborhood seafood house with simple table seating, no dress code, and a steady, casual noise level through lunch and dinner service. The beverage program is limited to beer, micheladas, and soft drinks rather than a formal wine list. Reservations are not required, given the casual walk-in format typical of Manzanillo seafood restaurants, and the kitchen is busiest during the extended lunch window, roughly 1PM to 4PM, when whole fried fish is a traditional midday order.
