Four white plastic tables under a faded blue awning. A small bar with four stools. A shelf of paperback books for tourists to borrow. And a man named Salvador with a smile that won't quit. That's Salvadores.
Located next to the canal in the Madera neighborhood of Zihuatanejo, Salvadores is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant — actually, it's outside the wall. The tables and bar are on the patio, the kitchen inside.
Salvadores serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Margaritas and piña coladas run two for $3.50 USD all day.
The breakfast menu offers Huevos Rancheros, Huevos a la Mexicana, pancakes, chilaquiles, and more — nothing over $3.50 USD. Add a big glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice for a dollar.
Lunch is tacos, enchiladas, and tostadas, mostly $2–3 USD. Dinner is where Salvador shines: fresh seafood, varying with the day's catch. The Chile Rellenos stuffed with shrimp are a favorite. Dinner runs $5–8 USD.
