Eating and Drinking
Though it may not seem possible, there are even more restaurants than hotels in Acapulco. To eat cheaply, though, you're confined to the area around the zocalo . Places actually on the square tend to be quite expensive but are great for lingering over breakfast at an outdoor table. Eating by the beach - where there's some kind of restaurant at every turn - is of course very much more expensive, and increasingly so as you head east, but, if you have the cash to spare, many of these places, along with the fancy tourist traps between the hotels, are very good. Throughout the tourist zone, especially along Costera, 100% Natural , a chain of 24-hour "healthy" eating places, serve good salads, fruit shakes, burgers and the like at grossly inflated prices. Alternatively, you can choose from McDonald's, KFC , the Hard Rock Cafe and the raucous Mexican fun bars Copacabana, Carlos 'n' Charlie's and Senor Frog . One thing to look out for wherever you are on a Thursday is pozole , a hearty pork and vegetable stew, served up almost everywhere. No one seems to be able to explain why, but Jueves Pozolero is now an institution.
