A new restaurant has opened in Las Brisas. Gorditas ALECUCU is located on the road that runs along the beach behind Kiosko. A variety of Gorditas and Quesadillas fritas are served. Chili Rellenos with shrimp, fish, cheese or picadillo are also served. The shrimp chili rellenos were reported to be delicious. Chilaquiles and huevos al gusto are available too. Sounds like a good restaurant to visit.
