The ceviche de camarón stands out as a refreshing burst of citrus and spice, perfectly complemented by crisp tortilla chips and homemade guacamole topped with succulent prawns. These dishes truly highlight the freshness of the local seafood and the vibrant culinary heritage of the region.
One cannot overlook the thoughtfully prepared mains, like the stuffed shrimp and the perfectly seasoned chicken pasta, which marry traditional flavors with a touch of innovation. The outstanding seafood soup and octopus further demonstrate the kitchen’s commitment to quality and authenticity, while desserts such as flan provide a smooth, sweet finish to the meal.
The dining atmosphere enhances the appeal of Altavela Seafood with its scenic views of the waterfront, ideal for enjoying a sunset while savoring a natural margarita—a drink that, when done right here, elevates the dining experience with its balance and freshness after an initial misstep.

“ At First, the waiter seemed to have an attitude and not much enthusiasm, but perhaps he was tired. I order a Margarita, to start. To my huge disappointment it had more sugar than I would need for a life time. I made a trip to the bar and returned the drink to order a natural Margarita. This time it was excellent…., Guacamole, with Prawns, Seafood Soup, Octopus, Flan and Coffee, we’re all excellent, but the Octopus was amazing. For sure the attention to detail finalized a perfect tenderness and pronounced flavours…,, Superlative attention to details, by the Chef and staff was evident and highly appreciated.. Do not miss the opportunity to dine here.,, Thank you ”
