Ok, so here’s the thing with Pato Palo.. the chiringquitos location is perfect, the atmosphere is brilliant , the cocktails are fab… but the food itself is not so great ! .. in high season they have live music taking place quite a few nights of the week and afternoon DJ Sets too… and it’s busy busy busy .. opens until 2am and is right on the beach.. it’s snack food ( burgers/ nachos) but I wasnt overly impressed with the quality ,, though doesn’t seem to deter people ! .. personally I would eat beforehand and go down there for a great party night with friends & family to enjoy the views and atmosphere. No website but you can find them on Facebook and just short 12-15 minute drive from us. Not open winter
