Budget Restaurants in Atacames

By Katie Tibbetts

As you might expect from a popular resort town, Atacames has its fare share of restaurants, each featuring its own menu (and prices). Whether you’re bustin’ for pizza and pasta, or hangin’ out for surf and turf, restaurants in this town are bound to satisfy your craving. Like the hotels, most places are easy to find: just take a stroll down the Malecón. Prices from one place to another vary little, so you're more likely to choose a restaurant for its menu and atmosphere rather than how many clams it will set you back.

Of the places serving pizza in town this is the only one boasting a brick oven. The pizza menu is long and varied and portions are more than enough to fill the belly. Have no fear if pizzas are not your gig as the menu is as extensive as the pizzas are large. Choose from seafood and meat dishes to salads, sandwiches and pastas (tortellini and lasagne). Service is slow but friendly and the balcony-side tables are perfect for catching your breath and grabbing a bite to eat after a day at the beach. This is a great place for families and picky eaters. Coffee and desserts are also available if you’ve got stomach room to spare.
