Fodor's Expert Review El Ancla

Families favor this laid-back restaurant at water's edge. Generous and affordable plates of fish, crab, and other fresh seafood come with tostones (fried plantains), french fries, and garlic bread. Try the shrimp in garlic sauce, salmon fillet with capers, or delectable mofongo stuffed with seafood, and finish with a fantastic flan. The piña coladas—with or without rum—are exceptional. The area needs improvement, but the views are worth it.
