Vibe
The charm of Muza Surf Bar & Restaurant is its open-air design and thatched roof over the entrance. Dining beneath the Palapas-styled overhang is ideal for people-watching, while tables dotting the sidewalk offer idyllic al fresco dining.
Inside is a coastal-chic, bohemian-style room with surfboards and vivid artwork. The open-air design lets Caribbean breezes sweep through, enhancing the laid-back atmosphere.
Several flatscreen TVs offer patrons the latest sporting event, while a far corner is where bands and local musicians entertain.
The atmosphere is versatile, shifting from a cozy breakfast nook to a happening lunch spot to an energy-pumping nightspot.
No matter when you visit, you’ll find the mood fun and carefree.
Muza Surf Bar & Restaurant: Menu & Drinks
As mentioned, the menus are vast, so we can only highlight a few standouts. Rest assured, the eight-page menu has something for everyone!
Breakfasts range from a classic American with coffee, eggs, juice, and bread to Mexican staples. You’ll also find pancakes, fresh fruit, and yogurt with granola.
After a morning exploring Museo Frida Kahlo, which is almost next door, grab lunch at Muza. Start with fresh hummus followed by a sandwich like the popular Smoked Salmon. Choose from ciabatta, bagel, or pita with either french fries or salad.
Pasta lovers will want to try the House Fusion, a creative twist on a classic. With a choice of penne, fettuccine, or spaghetti pasta, the sauce showcases curry with fresh, local vegetables. For an additional cost, add chicken, arrachera (hanger steak), or shrimp, and it’s a feast for any occasion.
Other options include pizzas that you could take back to your Casago rental or burgers for a picnic at nearby Parque Los Fundadores. The combination of options will appeal to the pickiest of eaters.
The drink menu is just as impressive. A refreshing favorite that’s perfect after a day in the sun is the Basilic Gin. This cocktail features Bombay Gin, ginger, basil, ginger ale, or soda. Fans of mezcal must try the Mezcalita Fusion. The smokiness of the mezcal elevates the flavors of maracuyá (passion fruit), lemon, natural syrup, and scents of orange in the Cointreau.
Together, the food, drinks, and atmosphere at Muza Surf Bar & Restaurant ensure a memorable dining experience. It offers the perfect blend of flavors and fun, whether starting your adventure or wrapping up a day.
