Aristos Beach - Progreso

Loved this little clean town. Loved the people, prices are outstanding!!! Super clean beach. My friends and I had a lovely time, walked downtown and tge market. Felt very safe. Loved it.

Progreso is hit or miss with finding good food and the reviews for this restaurant all point to it being a great restaurant with excellent service. After eating here, I'm confused by how many of the reviews of the food are positive. Very confused. They have a nice staff with friendly guys that speak some english. The small tapas that come with the drinks kicked off the evening nicely. Good chips, beets, black beans, a nice assortment that tasted good. The margaritas were weak on the alcohol, but refreshing nonetheless. Then the two orders of ceviche came and they were so salty that it was hard to eat. The shrimp burrito was next and also salty, but good green chile, and the shrimp skewer was a skewer of overly salted vegetables and shrimp. The amount of salt in the food seemed way beyond what a chef who smokes cigarettes might do because he/she cannot taste. The food was just not very good. Again, nice guys, but the kitchen need to reign in the salt to let the flavors of the food shine. I was bloated before leaving the restaurant and that's me not even finishing one of the dishes we ordered.

We've been there with our family of 7 and had very good diver seafood dishes and a very good service. Unfortunately a bit out of the main tourist area but definitely worth the drive to get there!

My husband and I stopped here for dinner on a visit to Progreso. The food was yummy and the service was perfect!! I asked for wine and they brought out every bottle to show me! I bought the bottle and took what I did not drink home. I ordered fried shrimp and it was delicious and fresh. My husband ordered steak nachos and he said the were very good, and the portion was extremely generous! Their lime cucumbers are the best!

The staff were very friendly and very helpful with suggestions (both in terms of what to order, as well as other places to eat in the area). The menu is similar to most restaurants in Progreso, and the food was as good as other restaurants in Progreso, but not outstanding.
