El Pulpo Loco

The beach atmosphere and the quality of food make this a nice place to stop in for a bite. The seafood is fresh and properly prepared. The staff is nice and will change the music to accommodate the tastes of their clientele. So if they aren't playing something you like, ask them to make it better. The rest rooms are free and need some work. Water pressure is a problem. Try not to think about the kitchen side of those pipes - there's monsters down that corridore... I'll be back.

It looks like a tourist dive bar; don't be fooled. The food was amazing! Definitely worth bringing guests.

My wife and I found this place quite by accident. We weren't planning on eating at a beach table but we were delighted to have found this place. No on on the cruise ship told us that there was a beach here in Progresso so we were super happy to have accidentally found this place. The waiter (Manuel) was super friendly the ceviche we had was yummy and it's a generous portion. The tortilla chips were also very yummy. They had Coronas, which are hard to find in this part of Mexico, so that was an added plus. Their wine list is limited but this isn't a big fancy restaurant. You should know that there are lots of vendors but they are all friendly and not pushy in the least bit. Also, the fake Cuban cigars that they sell on the beach are half the price of the fake Cuban cigars that they sell at the port shops. The beach it sell has nice sand, not as nice as the sugar sand in the Florida panhandle but much better than than coral in Cancun. Now that I know this beach is here it will be our destination and we'll plan on bring our bathing suits when we come back here on our next cruise.

Great food, service and atmosphere.

Just ate there and had the 3 fish tacos dish for 75 pesos but they were quite bland and soggy. My husband had the fish with wine and lemon, tasted bland, the accompanying rice and veggies were cold. Margaritas were huge and strong!! The atmosphere was lively and colourful and the staff were friendly AND the menu was in English also!!
