The variety offered in Acapulco restaurants make this resort one of the most appealing beach destinations in the world. The por t’s typical food is an inspiring crossbred gastronomy which conjugates pre-Hispanic and European tastes. A result of this crossbred is the famous pozole, a weighty bowl (pozolero) overflowing with a white broth comprising lemon, oregano, onion, avocado, green chilli and crackling fried delicious sardines. This dish is served traditionally on Thursdays in many restaurants. Of course, you can also find excellent sea food, and some of the most popular are: "Vuelve a la Vida" (Come to life), consists of fish, shrimp, snails, octopus and clams, marinated in lime juice, and "A la Talla Fish" (grilled fish Acapulco style).
Acapulco is definitely the place to go out and have a good time!. Acapulco is home to world class nightlife and clubs, and they open late and may stay open until sunrise. Many of the bars keep the same closing hours. One way to start the night is enjoying the spectacular dive show at La Quebrada, with the divers climbing a rocky crag about 115 feet above sea level; the majestic dive at night is with lit by torches Beside, you can enjoy Acapulco's dazzling and sophisticated restaurants and night clubs with a one of a kind view of Acapulco Bay, with its millions of lights reflecting in the water.
