During our recent two week stay in Zihua, my wife and friends managed to turn Bandito's into our "go to" spot for rest (while the ladies shopped) and lunch and dinner on many occasions. The food was always excellent and thanks to Vito and Carlos, the service could not have been better. The table side preparation of salsa and guacamole... More

We went here for our first night out and were not disappointed. The table side preparation of salsa to your liking is fun and very tasty. The food is good and the atmosphere is very casual, across the street from a market and very open air. Our kids enjoyed watching the soccer games on the many tvs. One note of... More

My husband took our two kids (6 and 9) to Bandidos for lunch. The ambiance was perfect. We watched all the activity in the mercado, had a great meal and the service was perfect. I highly recommend the tamarind margaritas. Delicious and refreshing!

We went with a large group and they were very accommodating! Food was good, drinks were stiff and staff was wonderful! Will be back for sure!

Not far from playa principal and across from the atrisans area. Tends to be more expensive and a place for the short term visitor. Food is good. Nice location. Evening live music some nights. Good place to watch sports on TV.

Bandido's Restaurant is found in the waterfront tourist zone of town. There is great energy in this area, with a lot of local people walking by - many to and from the nearby Church. The restaurant offers a wonderful selection of dishes, preceded by salsa being made table-side, to your (spicy) taste! Entertainment changes as the evening progresses. when we... More

Eight friends chose Bandido's from a recomendation and it was NOT a disappointment. The open-air restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere. The memu was great and the food was authentic mexican. The chicken fajitas were a hit as was the red snapper, guacamole and the salsa which was made fresh at tableside by the waitress. The beer was cold and the... More

The cucumber, so popular in Mexico, is fittingly finding its way into many areas of cuisine, but I believe Bandido's Cucumber Martini is the highest honor to this green veggie! Not too sweet and every sip is cooling, satisfying and makes you feel pretty darned healthy despite the fact you're consuming alcohol! Perfectly seared tuna steak entree was beautiful and... More

We were on the hunt for a great spot to watch the WCC College Basketball Tournament...we scored big at Bandidos!!! The afternoon staff checked out what channel we needed (ESPN2) while we sipped on delicious margaritas with a little extra kick from a sorano pepper (Jesus makes a mean margarita) which is not on their menu but should be :)...
