This is a comfortable restaurant, they have these beautiful hancrafted wooden tables and it is very airy, comfortable in the heat. I visited for breakfast and had their Happy Time Smoothie which was very good and Joaquins Omelet which was pretty good. Omelet was a bit flat, but came with beans and fresh fruit. The prices were very good here, best I've seen for breakfast in town. They have a lot more "Americanized Breakfasts" available, which isn't really what I am in Mexico for.
Update: I ate here for dinner. Prices are a bit steeper at night, but still affordable. I don't know what it is about La Cruz, but there is no such thing as a bad burger in this town. We are avoiding seafood currently because red tide has stricken Banderas Bay, so we have been eating a lot of meat. Tonight's Hawaiian Burger at Iguanacaxtle was juicy and delicious and to top that off, the fries are hand cut with just the right seasoning. Live music tonight too!

Good mix of Mexican seafood and a range of other dishes.
Cleanliness is excellent.
Serving staff are helpful and pleasant.
We eat at this restaurant several times a week from breakfast through dinner.
There's a full bar.
Good food prepared in the kitchen takes time. The atmosphere is pleasant and you can sit outside.

Great food, excellent service, and a lovely family atmosphere! The staff were so friendly and the prices were very reasonable! Everything is made fresh in-house, with lots of seafood options. We had quesadillas, fish and their Iguanacaxtle salad - everything was really tasty. The juice (we had verde and orange) is freshly squeezed and so delicious. We’ll definitely be back!

Fantastic new addition to La Cruz. Loved the frosted mugs and the Viva Mexican Salad - flank steak and so fresh.

An incredible place for a meal. The service was wonderful, very friendly family owned restaurant with an English menu. Very nice variety of food and drink. They have just painted a beautiful mural on the wall.

We enjoyed a delicious & relaxing meal this evening--guacamole, and the flank steak plate. Everything we ordered was delicious, the entire experience from the staff to the ambiance was great. We'll be back.
I'm hoping that in the high season we'll get some live music because the location is really nice. It's all on one level so it's a very accessible location for all, including folks with mobility issues, pets, strollers, etc.
October 2023 update: we've now had the carne asada plate, the combo burrito, crispy chicken sandwich, french fries (so salty and perfect), fajitas, aguachile, azteca soup, and quesadillas. Everything we've had is truly delicious. My favs have been the mushroom quesadillas, carne asada, and the crispy chicken sandwich. My husband's favs have been the fajitas, the carne asada plate, and the azteca soup (kind of like tortilla soup). Their guacamole is great. They have a full bar and great service.
