Antonio's Miramar

Antonio's Miramar is a beachfront seafood restaurant on the Playa Miramar strip in Ciudad Madero, part of the cluster of casual seafood houses that line this stretch of Gulf coastline. The kitchen serves ceviche mixto, camarones al mojo de ajo, and pescado a la veracruzana, applying a Veracruz-style tomato and olive preparation to the day's Gulf catch. The dining room is open-air and beach-facing, with simple table seating and a laid-back, sun-and-salt-air atmosphere typical of Playa Miramar's restaurant row rather than an indoor, air-conditioned setting. There is no dedicated wine program; the beverage side runs to Mexican beer, micheladas, and soft drinks suited to a beach lunch. Reservations are not typically required, and the restaurant operates on a walk-in basis, drawing the heaviest traffic during midday and early afternoon when beachgoers on Playa Miramar are looking for a seafood lunch.
