1254 Marco Polo is set in a traditional atmosphere, with wooden chairs and tables decorated with colorful locally made table clothes. The restaurant, known for its great breakfast and extensive seafood menu, drives that fine line of not too elegant and not too rustic.

Depite what you order, breakfast is always a basket of assorted breads. From sweet, icing-toped breads to more bland or buttery white breads. Starting at $2.90 usd, ($29 Mexican pesos) you can select from the traditional scrambled eggs with black beans, (any eggs served how you like them) or hot cakes, which are some of the best pancakes in Latin America. While not overly large, they are tasty and curb anyones craving for a hearty carb-filled breakfast. Served with either juice or cafe, the breakfast dishes are always served with the best of service. A friendly, polite staff is always on hand to help with anything you may need and certainly add some spice to the atmosphere.

Famous seafood dishes are a staple at 1254 Marco Polo. One option is a complete meal for $8.50 usd ($85 Mexican pesos) with a choice of shrimp or seafood soup as an appetizer, and for a main meal either a fresh fish filet or if your feeling a little more daring, octopus, both entrees cooked to your liking.

Regardless what meal you go to Marco Polo for, breakfast, lunch or dinner be advised you´re likey to eat great food in a traditional environment with excellent service.
