River Cafe

It's a little far from the main city, but the views are worth it. The food is great and the location itself is on a cliff, very romantic. Highly suggest planning your visit around sunset.

If you want something familia, and a nice walk on the Malecon, going to this Starbucks has just that. There are also drinks in Mexico (like a Coconut Latte) that you won't find in other countries.
