El Chachalaco: Reviews & Ratings
Great sea food
I'd been there before, but this time the visit was truly enjoyable. We arrived and were greeted with complimentary shrimp consomme, delicious ceviche tostadas, and drinks. The boat ride to the restaurant, the flavor, and the service made it a truly unique experience.
Love, your consomme and shrimp with garlic mojo... they are delicious The service is excellent and pleasant (the staff in most establishments are very hermits) but there they have always treated us excellently The boats they use to cross are in excellent condition. It is NOT expensive! (how the competition would have you believe). Like those of "the charm" who are next to them. By the way, not at all recommended
The food is exquisite and the experience is good in the transfer to the place
Delicious food and awesome service!
Fresh fish, complimentary boat ride, lovely service and good food. Reasonable priced.
The experience of the place and the seasoning make you give it 5 stars. The food is very delicious. It honestly exceeds expectations, you can choose your fish of the day, fresh and the menu is almost complete.
Delicious sea food!! Great Micheladas as well as a beautiful view of the river. The small boat ride was very fun, and the gentleman guiding us across river was very entertaining with good conversation, even helping the scared children to distract them. Definitely a restaurant I'll be returning to.
