Not many of us think of a Mexican restaurant when we’re hungering for a stuffed crab-back, or salivating over sucking on prawn heads.

Savory seafood and stunning views of Biscayne Bay from every seat in the house (and out): That’s what makes the Rusty Pelican, a Key Biscayne landmark, which opened in the 1970s just off the Rickenbacker Causeway, a perennial favorite.

This cozy, unpretentious 42-seat eatery has spawned quite a loyal following since opening in 1980. The nautical decor is comfortable, but most patrons come for honest, homestyle Peruvian seafood dishes at reasonable prices.
