Archie's Wok
130 Francisca RodríguezGreat Latin & Thai fusion blend.
Former home of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor a/k/a Iguana Restaurant. Fusion, Mexican flare. Romantic, beautiful setting. Make reservations and ask to sit in the main dining area. They have live group singers who come by and serenade you. It's quite lovely. You can also sit to the side of the main dining area, you will still hear the singers and they will come by. Easy taxi/Uber ride.

Gorgeous, romantic view -- go about 30 minutes before sunset. Take pictures before entering the restaurant in front of the old steeple. The staff will help you. The Italian food here is very good and generous (not spectacular) but honestly the view and atmosphere here will more than make up for it. Ask to sit in main dining room and you will sit in front of the steeple again, which will light up at night. It's just breathtaking to sit here and enjoy the company of people you are with. You won't regret it! This is the sister restaurant to Casa Kimberly.

French, Mexican, Modern Fare. Ask to sit in the jungle area with running waterfalls and ponds. It is a very cool experience.

Fusion, Mexican flare, International. There are three seating tiers to this oceanfront restaurant (inside, just outside, and beach). If you get here before sunset, ask to sit on the beach (yes, on the beach) and you will not regret it. Take a sweater. Order a margarita, pina colada, rose. Some dishes are excellent, while others are merely good but it is the view and music in the background that make it memorable. Portions are usually generous, but the place is not cheap. It can accommodate large groups and the service is well suited for it. This is the sister restaurant to next door El Dorado (similar food).
