La Curva Mariscos, at the corner of Boulevard Benito Juárez and Calle 13 in Puerto Peñasco's Centro district, has built a long-standing local following for shrimp and fish plates drawn from the town's Gulf of California fishing fleet. Camarones a la diabla, pescado a la talla (butterflied fish grilled with a chile-based marinade), and coctel de camarón make up the core menu, all served in generous, home-style portions rather than refined plating. The dining room is casual, with simple table seating and a straightforward, no-frills atmosphere typical of Puerto Peñasco's local seafood restaurants away from the resort strip. There is no dress code, and service moves quickly, aimed at both locals and the steady stream of Arizona and other U.S. visitors who make the short drive to Puerto Peñasco for its seafood. Ordering is à la carte, and reservations are not part of the restaurant's culture; walk-in seating is standard throughout the 10AM-9PM service window. The restaurant's longevity and consistency have made it a reference point for visitors seeking an authentic, non-touristy seafood meal in Puerto Peñasco.
