Ulúa Fish
This upscale café was opened by the famous chef José Burela Picazzo, who also founded a cooking school in the city and has written a cookbook about the local specialties of Veracruz state. If you are in the mood to splurge on excellent seafood, this is the place. Some of the waitstaff have student-shadows from the school who are nervous and over-attentive…in a cute way.

Mardel
Recently opened by an ex-Argentine soccer player, this upscale restaurant, literally over the water, specializes in Argentine favorites, but there are also Mexican and Spanish influences in the menu. The food is quite delicious, but service is hit or miss.

A more upscale tapas bar with seaside ambience, outdoor seating and lovely food. Its huge TV tends to show soccer games, and the patio is good for boulevarde watching.

Sushi Itto
Wasabi and salsa chipotle are equal condiments here. It has some eyebrow-raising Mexican inspired rolls and 'burgesitas' that are hamburger-like creations made with sushi ingredients.
