Caracol Nutrition Facts

Caracol specializes in coastal Mexican cuisine featuring fresh Gulf seafood, wood-grilled oysters, ceviches, and grilled fish from Mexico's Pacific and Gulf coasts, led by James Beard Award-winning Chef Hugo Ortega. The menu highlights dishes like lime-cured red snapper ceviche and butterflied branzino marinated in a la talla sauce.

Opt for the Pescado Zarandeado, a butterflied boneless branzino grilled with a la talla marinade served with pineapple salad ($42), which delivers lean protein from the fish with minimal added fats and controlled carbs from the fresh salsa. The highest-protein item is the Lomo de Res, an 8 oz grilled prime filet mignon (~55g protein) paired with scalloped potatoes. Watch out for the Langosta Puerto Nuevo, a fire-roasted lobster with refried beans and rice ($120), loaded with butter and carbs that spike calories.
