Coconut's is indeed one of the restaurants in Zihuatanejo with a shining

the oldest in the city, the restaurant itself is set in a garden that
was once where the coconuts were weighed during the height of the

specials of the freshest finds that change daily, and the reputation of
the Bananas Flambée preceeds it.

try the specials, which change daily.
