WHAT TO EAT IN COSTA ESMERALDA
Throughout the entire Costas Esmeralda (Emerald Coast), there are a large number of palapas on the beach and restaurants.
Along the beach you can enjoy delicious dishes based on fresh fish and seafood.
The huatape de camarón, a thick shrimp broth with ground corn, guajillo chile and corn kernels, is considered the typical dish of Tecolutla, as well as the pineapples stuffed with shellfish and the Tiquinchin fish that is grilled over firewood.
