This is one.of the best food.i had on the peninsula and in general. Avocado salad is exceptional. Oysters were made grilled – superb. Seafood caviche was amazing. I would skip rice. Open space of the restaurant made good ambience. Alberto was exceptional server. Other people had ultimate hospitality but my sclerotic memory did not registered their names.

The seafood is of exceptional quality. Everything was absolutely delicious. The highlight was the catch of the day grilled with butter and garlic. The calamari was also delicious as was the fish tacos. The batter was light, crispy and tasty. As it should be.
My only constructive criticism is that one of the two waiters was not friendly at all. It was very uncomfortable to ask him for more lemon as he seemed angry. Maybe he was having a bad day. I was very triggered when he said the suggested tip was 20%. He certainly didn’t deserve it. Gave him the standard 10%.

Delicious!! Visiting from California and this is some of the freshest and most well-prepared seafood I’ve had. The softshell crab tacos were so tastefully made. The adobo octopus, shrimp skewers, and guac were fantastic. Chunky guac fans will LOVE this place – good onion and tomato flavor, not just puréed avocado. My favorite meal in PDC. You must stop here – I’m so serious.

Nice open air restaurant on a quiet corner. You can watch them grill your food. Shrimp vegetable kabobs were tasty and the whole grilled sea bass was so good. It came with a nice salad but could have used a bit more sides. Good wine selection. The Caesar salad was nicely presented but the dressing wasn’t authentic being made with mayonnaise and very little garlic.
Very good service here.

A standout little restaurant tucked away from the hustle and bustle of 5th Avenue. The avocado salad was fresh and absolutely delicious, but the grilled octopus completely stole the show. Perfectly tender, beautifully charred, and packed with flavor, it was hands down the highlight of the meal. I’ll be dreaming about it long after I leave.

What a great find! This restaurant is on a quiet street a little bit removed from the hustle of Quintas avenue in Playa. The decor and vibes were very cute and Instagrammable, but the food and service were the real stars. We started off with some cold beers and charales, followed by an assortment of tacos and tostadas. The fish tacos were so perfectly battered and seasoned, and the fish itself was juicy, flaky and fresh. I particularly loved the shrimp aguachile tostadas which was a lovely marriage of textures, balanced flavour and a little bit of heat. The staff were all very friendly. I also greatly appreciated the playlist (Jorja Smith all night!).

On a local’s recommendation, I stopped in for lunch at ICTIO Fish House and it instantly became one of my favorite dining experiences here.
Then came the whole fried fish — crispy, golden, incredibly fresh, and topped with fresh onions, cilantro, jalapeños, and a charred lime on the side. It was so delicious I could barely put my fork down!
The owner himself came out to check on us — so kind, humble, and genuinely passionate about his food. Everything is made with the freshest local ingredients, and it shows in every bite. The flavors are bright, authentic, and unforgettable.
ICTIO is an absolute must. This is the kind of meal you’ll remember and tell everyone about.

We stayed at the Hyatt Vivid All-Inclusive but decided to venture out for dinner and Ictio exceeded our expectations. Alberto was our server and man he hustled all night.. he was amazing! We ordered the calamari, squash salad, jumbo shrimp, and fresh catch of the day- we opted for snapper but grouper and sea bass were also available. This was the BEST fish I’ve ever had. The entire meal from apps to dessert (churros) was phenomenal!! I will dream about this meal until we return next year.

This place is a must-visit for seafood lovers seeking fresh and amazing dishes. They source their fish daily, and the sea bass we had was simply incredible. The salmon was also delicious, though a bit too sweet for my taste. However, it was cooked to perfection. The grilled shrimp was another highlight of our meal. Highly recommend this place.

Delicious, fresh food. Especially the cevice and the shrimp skewer were amazing. The service was fast and very friendly, although they almost forgot to serve us the pulpo. Would recommend!
