Restaurante Pescaderia Magnolia, Seafood restaurant in Monterrey, Mexico
Restaurante Pescaderia Magnolia is a seafood restaurant on Avenida Felix U. Gomez Norte in Monterrey, serving fresh fish, shrimp, and shellfish dishes. The dining room is large, with multiple television screens set up for watching sports during meals.
The restaurant opened more than 30 years ago and has stayed in the same city neighborhood ever since. Over that time it became one of the go-to spots for seafood in a city that sits far from the coast.
The menu follows the cooking style of Mexico's Gulf coast, with dishes built around fresh fish, shrimp, and shellfish prepared in ways common in port towns. Ordering here feels closer to eating by the sea than in a landlocked city.
The restaurant sits on a main city road and is easy to reach from different parts of Monterrey. The large dining room means you rarely need to wait long for a table, even when the place is busy.
Even though Monterrey is one of Mexico's most inland major cities, fresh seafood is delivered regularly from the coast, so the fish on the plate is rarely more than a day old. The drink servings here are noticeably larger than what you typically get elsewhere in the city.
