Restaurant & Bar Popotla

"recommended by aline. basically a beach market with super fresh seafood. "Still mostly unknown to gringos, Popotla attracts Mexican families for pescado zarandeado, Baja lobster and shrimp cocktails. The morning catch arrives and is cleaned and ready to go into ceviches, cocktails, and whatever your heart desires – here you can live out your seafood fantasies. In Popotla, the seafood cocktail takes a pleasurable turn in an eight-ounce cup: tender abalone, or creamy Baja sea urchin swimming in a cold shrimp stock, seasoned with tomatoes, onions and cilantro. Callo de hacha (scallops) rank with the best in Sinaloa (perhaps the best traditional seafood in Mexico). They're cooked in lime, spiced by fiery chiltepin, dressed with cucumber half-moons and slivers of purple onion." "If you want to indulge in Baja lobster without the tourist spectacle of Puerto Nuevo, this is the place. Insist on live lobster, or move on. Any joint on the beach will serve it with refried beans, flour tortillas, and a melted garlic-butter dipping sauce.""
