This is far away from the touristy areas of Puerto Vallarta and certainly worth the trip…read more It feels like a throwback to a place I would have found decades ago and wish I had found it that long ago as well. We ordered the bbq for 2. It was a plate with some of everything(beef, ribs, chicken, pork and sausage) and cactus, grilled onions, beans, tortillas and a couple of small quesadillas on the side. Our server spoke excellent English and the place was very comfortable. They have a nice area for kids. If you want to come during the day and have them hang out there while they're waiting for their food. I got the barbecue sauce which is a side that you have to ask for and it was very tasty We really enjoyed this place. It felt more authentic and more local than most of the places we normally go to in the South part of the town on the coast. It was about a third less expensive.

Rooftop patio with twinkle lights, friendly and attentive service, and delicious food -- what more can you ask for! We got the guacamole and tuna sashimi as appetizers, and the guacamole (as well as the complimentary salsa) was made right at the table to our exact specifications (mild, please!). We weren't really drinking tonight, so got virgin strawberry daiquiris which were essentially delicious smoothies. I bet the real ones are top notch, too. For mains, I had the chicken fajitas, which came with additional guacamole, rice, and beans in a build-your-own style. My partner had the tomato cream soup, which came with biscuits and had a beautiful presentation. We asked if they served lunch on the way out (they do, opens at 2pm), since we can't wait to come back. We got two churros to go since some of the reviews raved about them -- still too full to eat them but looking forward to it!

Great drinks, fantastic happy hour prices, and local live music or a DJ most weekends. Thurs - Sat, they have this awesome guy Chino who uses the space for Chino Bites. These are the best damn dumplings I've ever had! There are 4 meat options, 1 vegan and 1 option that allows you to mix and match. So, my wife had 3 pork and I had 3 vegan ones and oh, my how good were these!! The wraps are super thin and cooked to perfection, the filling is wonderful, and I'll die on the hill that this was the best vegan dumpling/gyoza I've ever had......and it was in Mexico!! Definitely hang at Lucid when you're in Sayu and make sure to try Chino Bites, you won't be disappointed!

While they do have a couple of tables inside the open air restaurant and a few at the bar, the majority of the seats are on the beach. We could have sat inside, but the view was so pretty that we stayed outdoors. We started with the roasted potato churros with a side of black caviar which, surprisingly was delicious! For our main meal, we dined on the grilled whole lobster and meat & mole with a side of grilled mushrooms. The meal was delicious, but the lobster was local and the tail was not as big as I would have liked for the price that we paid. Arturo, our waiter surprised me for my birthday and brought out a shaved coconut filled with mango, crumble and tapioca. This was arguably one of the best meals during our week long trip and Arturo was a great waiter.

You're literally sitting in the sand--like, toes-in-the-grains, "I might build a sandcastle between courses" levels of beachy. And the water? Ridiculously close. One enthusiastic wave and you might get a free foot rinse. The seafood was fresh enough to make me feel like I should personally thank the ocean, but the true star... the coconut dessert. Oh. My. Goodness. Whoever invented that dessert deserves an award, a parade, and maybe even a national holiday. It was creamy, dreamy, tropical perfection, and I have legitimately been thinking about it every single day since my last bite. If "dessert withdrawal" is a thing, I have it. If you like great food, beautiful views, or desserts that will haunt your dreams (in the BEST way), this place is a must. I'm already planning my return--strictly for coconut therapy.
