La Tarraya Restaurant/Bar Review

THE RESTAURANT THAT WAS BORN WITH THE TOWN, proclaims the sign. It's right on the beach, where the water practically laps at the foundation. Because the owners are fishermen, the fish is so fresh it's still practically wiggling. The wood hut doesn't look like much, but they also have tables right on the beach. You can have your fish prepared in several ways. If you haven't tried the Yucatecan specialty tik-n-xic -- fish with achiote and bitter-orange sauce, cooked in a banana leaf -- this is a good place to do so. I can also recommend the ceviche and the beer.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
