A courtyard restaurant on Zihuatanejo's waterfront combining regional Mexican dishes with a small crafts gallery, popular for a relaxed lunch near the harbor.
Casa Marina occupies a courtyard on Zihuatanejo's Paseo del Pescador in Guerrero, Mexico, combining a regional Mexican restaurant with a small crafts gallery under the same roof. The kitchen serves tiritas de pescado, mole guerrerense, and grilled shrimp among its signature dishes, drawing on the coastal and highland cooking traditions of the state. The dining room opens into a shaded courtyard filled with local art and crafts, giving it a relaxed, gallery-like atmosphere that is quieter than the busier waterfront spots nearby, well suited to a slower lunch. There is no formal wine list; the drink menu covers beer, aguas frescas, and simple cocktails. Reservations are not required, and the courtyard setting makes it a good stop to combine a meal with browsing local handicrafts near the harbor.
