Fish and seafood prices go from $670 for grilled salmon to $2,800 for oven-baked branzino; meats from $780 for skirt steak to $3,600 for 1.8 kg short ribs. A typical meal with appetizer, main course, and drink averages $1,200 to $1,800 per person, potentially exceeding $2,500 with premium seafood or sake.
The sushi bar, open Thursday to Saturday evenings, offers nigiri from $100 to $160 per piece. Drinks include cocktails like El Gansito at $280 to $340, and sake up to $4,400 per bottle. Praya joins other renowned Acapulco spots frequented by celebrities.
