Nice view with a wide variety of seafood dishes. Not a place I would return to except perhaps breakfast. I had the huachinango Ala talla and it was smothered in a sauce that just was not good. Better places nearby Paradise for one.

(Bambu shares a kitchen with Tio Alex next door, and offers basically the same menu.) In an act very unlike us, my wife and I were swayed into a restaurant by a man on the street waving us down and showing us his menu. As one would expect, this was certainly a mistake. Likely, we were swayed at the prospect of two-for-one drinks. Additionally, we liked the idea of dining in the open air with a view of the bay. Alas, our drinks(piña coladas for me) ended up being both small and underwhelming. More significantly however, I boldly ordered the huachinango(red snapper) a la talla, which was described to me as the whole fish, opened up and baked in a chipotle sauce. I should have taken the waiter more literally. Apparently, by «whole fish» he meant including all of the bones. =(This was too bad, because a dish that was otherwise pretty tasty eded up being a miserable experience. All I remember is the dozens of tiny bones that I was pulling from every attempted bite. I think my wife enjoyed her food more than I did, but I was so distracted by the bones, I cannot even recall what she ordered.
