“17 years of tradition you can taste in every bite. The aguachile El Pato with black sauce and mango is one of the best I’ve had in all of Baja California Sur. A must if you come to La Paz: generous portions and excellent flavor.”

“Excellent spot in Col. Indeco. The bacon-wrapped shrimp tacos are huge and generously served. The beer is ice cold and the prices are very fair for how fresh everything is. Don’t leave without trying the broth.”

#CocinaPaceña Since 2008

18 Years Serving the Best of the La Paz Sea

El Pato Tacos y Mariscos restaurant in La Paz
Our Restaurant and Terrace in Col. Indeco, La Paz
Since Dec. 2008 La Paz, B.C.S.
  1. December 2008

    El Pato started as a beloved little fresh-ceviche stand in La Paz and quickly became the favorite gathering spot for the Indeco neighborhood and La Paz families.

  2. Every morning

    Every morning we buy seafood fresh off the boats at the fishing dock, clean the fish by hand and make every aguachile the moment you order it.

  3. Today, 18 years later

    No industrial recipes and no pretense here: we serve big shrimp, salsas that are spicy and full of flavor, ice-cold beer and the warmth of a classic that has fed generations.
