BEST FOOD IN TOWN!!! Seriously- everyone recommends Mary’s but this place is way better. Authentic, cheap and large portions. Quick service, shaded open air atmosphere. Owner is nice and the pet parrot and chicken are cute.

Food was delicious and priced very affordable. Service was great as well. If I'm ever in Sayulita again definitely stopping there again.

A super friendly family restaurant where the cooks take pride in everything they serve! Great margaritas (finally!) even on happy hour Try the Pelliscada Arrachera and Chile Rellenos - you’ll be back.

Family restaurant that might not look that much from outside, but has lot to offer. Had the vegetarian tacos, which can be made vegan, and they where great! Well made. Service/staff is attending, maybe not the happiest ones. Music is slightly hectic. Have quite an extensive menu. Had at least 10 flies companions at the table, and a "pet" roaster.

Best guacamole in Sayulita, hands down. It's a very welcoming family joint with outstanding food and service. Good prices too. And we saw the adorable white chicken/rooster!

Great local food, no frills and all about the flavor. Good sized portions too. The seafood here is very fresh, and brings authentic Mexican flavor. All at a reasonable price

Hidden gem, great people and atmosphere! Loved every dish I tried. Pina coladas from La Nina are my weakness. Outstanding service!
