What a gem!…read more Autentico cuisine that goes back to the roots of mexican cooking, this was not what we expected to find on our way to Bucerias for groceries after our sunset surf sesh. And I say that in the most positive way! They offer seafood, fresh and locally caught. The meat is from the adjacent town as well, and there are vegetarian and vegan options. The prices were less than what you'll pay for the obnoxious haggling sea-side restaurants and you have an amazing ocean view from up above. We started with two appetizers: the 5 corn empanadas and aguachile verde. I ate the empanadas too fast to give you a visual but the boyfriend took one of the shrimp (aguachile verde). Beautiful presentation, and it tasted better than it looked! How is that possible? He ordered the fresh catch of the day, which was a mahi-mahi. I went out on a limb for the local chicken made into a mole, both delicious as well. so far everything was so good that we sprung for dessert, and opted for the churro with vanilla ice cream. It sounds like a simple dessert, but we knew they would do it better than standand we were not disappointed. Everything was amazing, I cannot say enough superlative things. You'll see the boisterous pink exterior on your left heading from Punta Mita or Sayulita back to Bucerias/PV. Driving from Bucerias, it's on your right and you'll pass it before you see it. Turn back around- we did, and it was a highlight of our trip.

Wow, this was amazing! We stopped by Enrique's one day before we left the area (this will be…read moreimportant later on :-)) I was hot and cranky (because... hungry!) and only wanted a small appetizer to help me to not kill anybody before dinner came around. It was the afternoon and we didn't really plan on getting anything big. But then we found this little back yard oasis, the huge fan was blowing in my face and it cooled mus down and our appetite could not be contained anymore. So we went off the rails a bit and the husband got a big platter of stuff and I got a big platter of stuff (seafood!). It was all fun and games until it came to pay and we realized that since we hadn't planned on having a big meal, we didn't bring a lot of cash. This place, like many in the area, doesn't accept credit cards, so we were in a bit of a pickle. We tried to get cash at the ATM next door, but it didn't work. So we went through all our pockets and gathered all our pesos... and were still short 2 or 3 in the end. Not even talking about a tip. Enrique was so, so gracious and laughed it off! He told us not to worry about it! We stopped by the next day on our way to Puerto Vallarta to pay our debt and leave a ncice tip, but it was in the early afternoon anbd the place was closed. Sorry, Enrique! We did try! In any case, we will make sure to stop by the next time we're in the area and eat some more of your amazing food and leave a REALLY GOOD tip this time! As for the food: it was very good. Just look at the pictures! Freshest sea food, made with love. Loved it!
