Known for
- The menu is international with a Mexican twist, served from breakfast through dinner, and vegan options are marked.
- Dinner dishes include a Lido burger (about MXN 340), bacon-wrapped stuffed shrimp (about MXN 420), pulpo al pil pil (about MXN 590) and a pulque-sauced flank steak.
- Breakfast includes huevos divorciados and a Lido omelette, and the signature cocktail comes in a fresh coconut.
- Live music is listed for Thursday to Sunday, with acoustic music during dinner. Sources differ on the schedule; confirm before you go.
- No entrance fee, and you pay as you order. Beach chairs are limited and erosion has shrunk the sand, so the restaurant is the main draw.
