    Street performers
    Dennis M.

    Laid back vibe and deco perfect for a casual night dinner. The Ceviche, oh the Ceviche! So good. We also ordered salads to go along. One salad is large enough for two. Service and seating are great. You get to have a wonderful dinner and watch the Sayulita street scene go by.

    Close to the beach. The food is really good. The waiter was very friendly. Not: Cash only

    Molajete

    This place deserves a higher rating! The manager Carlos and waiter Daniel took excellent care of us and recommended the Molcajete for two. It was best dinner we have had in Mexico. The presentation and flavors from the complexity of the sauce and ingredients were memorable. And the craft cocktails were also very good at price that didn't bust the budget. Highly recommend this plac

    Toastadas
    Lisa W.

    Cash only... so have enough because the food and drinks are good. I got their Jaimaca cocktail and it was tasty. Even their shots came in a cool skull shot glass. For appetizers we got octopus and tuna tostada. I recommend the octopus. It was super good. We also shared the aguachile... a little salty but still had major tart and good pieces of raw shrimp. For our main dinner we shared a Molcajete. It came with 2 shrimps, 2 octopus tentacles, 2 onions, and some meat, and of course tortillas. Enough food for 2 with all the fun appetizers. I wish they accept credit card, if they did we would have ordered more.

    Molcajete
    Heihachiro K.

    Great place for a solid molcajete and seafood tostadas. It's a nice place right in the middle of town and in front of the picturesque narrow roadway with the overhead draping flapper canopy. The service is a bit slow , but food and cocktails were pretty damn good. I'd go back. Cash only.

    Red snapper

    On a busy street right by the plaza. There's lots of street performers that were entertaining us throughout dinner. I got the zarandeada which was recommended by our waiter. It is their local flavored fish with some type of red sauce. It didn't have much flavor and was a small portion for the price. One friend got their lobster tacos which was also a small portion for the price. Another friend got the fried red snapper which is market price but cheaper than the fish I got and a bigger portion. Two of my other friends got the mocaljete which is a mixture of meat and seafood in a hot stone bowl. The pulpo or octopus was over cooked but the red sauce was delicious! Our waiter was ok and service was kinda slow but the entertainer/street singer was great! Prices are also higher than most places in the area so expect to pay at least 300-500 pesos per person for dinner.

    Fish Shrimp Burrito
    Jasmin H.

    The Fish Shrimp Combination Burrito was great. It just came with very little shrimp like 3 overall and they were small. I believe it was also overpriced.

    Tuna Serrano tostada
    Dung N.

    This place was our first food stop after arriving in Sayulita! We shared a couple of tostadas, tacos, ceviche and got a limonada and pinada as well. The presentation of the food and drinks were really nice! I didn't realize that my pinada drink was more like a smoothie, so it was thick and refreshing. The Peruvian ceviche was alright to me- it was lacking flavor and didn't seem very fresh. The tacos were pretty good, but my favorite were the tostadas! Both the tuna and shrimp versions were delicious and hit the spot. I really wanted to try their aguachile since that is one of my favorite dishes and it looked appetizing when I saw it arrive at the party next to us. I guess I'll have to get it next time!

    Tacos, tuna sashimi and scallop tostada
    Jennifer N.

    One of my favorite restaurants in Sayulita! The seafood here is so fresh and the flavors are very light and refreshing. Highly recommend: Tuna sashimi Scallop tostada Fish taco (fried) Shrimp taco (fried) We tried other things but I don't think they were anything memorable/special: Shrimp tostada Shrimp and cheese taco Special marlin taco This place does get packed at night though. When we first tried coming here, the wait was 40min so we went somewhere else. Came back for lunch and was seated right away.

    Lobster Tacos, Shrimp Taco, Fish Taco and Barracuda Taco

    Stumbled on this place while walking the streets and so happy we did. Absolutely inhaled our food

    Cold Pacifico!
    Bill B.

    My wife and I stopped here for a few beers and to get out of the sun. We got a table on the sidewalk which was great as there was very little car traffic. Great service and friendly environment. The beers were going down well and we decided to order some food. Best idea of the day. She ordered the fish tacos and the cream of spinach soup and I had the Molcajete. OMG! Everything was fresh and delicious. We'd definitely Italy come back!

    Tostada de Atun
    Alex M.

    Our favorite restaurant In Sayulita! We were in town for three days, and stopped here twice because their food was AMAZING!! Marlin is popular amongst the Sayulita town, and we decided to give the Marlin tostadas a shot. This Marlin was served warm on a crunch tostada da paired with picked onions, avocado lime and more! All of our tostadas were fresh, and they were served with sauces to make your tostadas as spicy/ mild as you wish. The restaurant sits on the strip in front of all the flags in Sayulita, seconds away from the plazita. You get to view all the local vendors and musicians a they walk past you while you dine which really adds for an overall "Mexico" like experience! We can't wait to be back in Sayulita to eat here again!

    La Dama- tropical goodness!
    Fernando A.

    My wife and I had an early dinner of ceviche, tacos, and cocktails. The tacos were good. My wife had the "barracuda taco" which was a fried marlin tacos covered with a special salsa topping. She liked it. I had a taco gobenador, which was a fried shrimp taco with cheese, that was also quite good. Their ceviche was good, but not as good s as the one we had next door at Tierra Vida. It was different though, with fish, cucumber, and carrots. My cocktail was very tropical and refreshing. I had La Dama, which had tequila and primarily guava juice. Barracuda is on one of the main streets with lots of restaurants, tourists, performers, etc., so it can get quite loud and busy. It's fairly pricey too, but they take credit cards which is convenient since e we were running out of cash!

    Yelp Family!!! My apologies for being so MIA. But your boy is back!!…read more With a bomb restaurant recommendation for anyone who happens to be in Sayulita, Nayarit! El Itacate!!! WOW!!! This place is straight fire!! DELICIOUS tacos!! There is not one person who should be giving this restaurant less than five stars. NOBODY! Or I'll take it personally! If you're looking for the BEST and most creative tacos in Sayulita, look no further! Chicken, pork, shrimp, fish, octopus, beef, steak, vegetarian tacos.. you name it, they have it! Something for everyone! Located in downtown Sayulita on Av. Revolución, El Itacate is the perfect lunch spot for large groups! I was with a group of six and really enjoyed how spacious and comfortable it was. The setup is half indoor/ half outdoor, allowing for a lot of seating flexibility. In fact, I noticed a bachelorette party of fourteen seated out front! However, given this was Mexico in October, it was a hot, humid, muggy day. And thus my group and I opted to sit in the inside "half" of El Itacate. Although not fully indoors, having the shade and fans "blasting" towards us made my group feel that much more comfortable and ready to order! And speaking of ordering, I love how creative El Itacate is with their menu. It's plastered right by the entrance in large, bold lettering! Making things VERY easy with no true "menus" required! I loved the creativity and ease in which my friends and I were able to order our lunch! Another thing I love about El Itacate are how generous they are with their SALSAS and Guacamole! Each taco order comes with five "salsas" and a load of limes. Of the three liquid salsas, one was creamy tomatillo based, another smoky chipotle, and the third "spicy tomato." Or at least that's the best way I can describe it lol. The two solid salsas were diced red onions with cilantro and sliced white onions with habanero mixed in. I loved all five salsas equally! They were all spectacular and flavorful, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be the smoky chipotle. The guacamole was absolutely incredible as well. I love how in Mexico when you order guacamole it comes in large, generous quantities! Here in the U.S. restaurants are ridiculously cheap with their guac portions!! And as anyone who follows my reviews knows- being cheap is immoral! So stop that! Lol My only small gripe is I felt the chips were a little "stale," but we also came for lunch at kind of a weird time of the day (like 2pm?) So maybe if we had arrived earlier the chips would've tasted more fresh? Ultimately I was starving after a morning and early afternoon of playing soccer on the beach, so I opted for three tacos (could've had four but dinner was only a few hours away ha!) I opted for arrachera (skirt steak), shrimp, and mahi mahi. Each taco was relatively big and DELICIOUS!! Extremely flavorful and creative. You could also tell the tortillas were made from scratch, which I loved. The mahi mahi and shrimp were both extremely fresh tasting. And while I loved all three, if I had to choose a favorite taco I'd go with arrachera. The steak was seasoned perfectly with just the right amount of char to go with tenderness. And with tons of salsa and guacamole to add to these tacos, I was sad when the meal was over. Overall I absolutely loved the vibe of this spot. It's the perfect taco place for anyone looking for a great lunch! The ambiance is fantastic with the modern "look," fresh paint job, and inside/ outside setup. I also want to thank staff for giving me an El Itacate sticker to bring back for my wife! (She collects stickers). Free of charge too!! If you're in the area you MUST go. I wouldn't steer you wrong. A+++++

    Was looking for a highly rated place to eat a quick, late lunch while visiting Sayulita for the…read moreday, and El Itacate popped up as a good option. It's located on a busy street without much of a view, so if you're looking for an oceanfront ambiance, this isn't the place. But if you're looking for decent tacos with big portions and fair prices, it's worth a stop. Would I go out of my way to eat here? No. But the food was freshly prepared in an open kitchen, it tasted good, and the free salsas and toppings (including killer grilled onions and very spicy salsas - even the mild knocked me out) provided with every entree were high quality. We ordered guacamole and chips to start, and it was pretty good. They serve those heavily oiled and thick chips that aren't my favorite, but the salsa had a nice flavor and chunks of jalapenos and tomatoes. Wanting to sample several items, we got 4 different tacos: steak, chicken, poblano pepper, and shrimp. The best was the pepper taco, followed by the chicken (which was all white breast meat). The steak was good, but the shrimp was really bad. The seasoning was very unpleasant on the shrimp, so I'd recommend skipping that one. The meat portions were very large, served on top of a dual corn tortilla. The tacos were very plain though, and they needed the added toppings and salsas. Otherwise, they'd just be piles of meat. Bonus points for three very important things: 1. the restaurant is very clean and well maintained. 2. the prices are clearly posted so you don't have to worry about the "tourist surprise" and overcharging that Sayulita is well known for. 3. there are many vegan and vegetarian options, and they are good! El Itacate doesn't serve bargain street tacos, but they're decent enough as a choice for lunch when you're in town.
