Amazing, fresh tacos. Get the grilled fish, served with lots of veg. The best I’ve had in Sayulita. Prices are affordable, and just between the beach and the crowded square made for a nice lowkey atmosphere. I got an extra taco and am coming back for more tomorrow. No pics bc I devoured them.

You haven’t come to Sayulita until you’ve come to this wonderful family -owned and operated seafood place. Perhaps best known for their tacos, you will find a wide selection especially seafood and it’s so fresh and prepared before your eyes. Our go-to taco place in town .

I love this place. My boyfriend and I came here for the past two summers and always only get the fish tacos. Sometimes she does them fried, sometimes grilled. I prefer grilled. It is so delicious! It is by no means a glamorous experience but rather a simple and delicious one. The tacos are my favorite here and we usually go everyday or every other day. It is family run and so good to support. I highly recommend trying this place out and ordering fish tacos. Give the fancy restaurants a break and try something local!

The best fish tacos I’ve ever had, hands down. And we got there before they opened and got tequila shots on the house!

The best fish taco I’ve had in my entire life. It is a small little place, family run . But don’t sleep on it! A friend of mine recommended this place and I was so glad I trusted her. Truly so delicious and fresh!

I went with the fish burrito, and it was honestly the best I've ever had, mind you, this was not the first fish taco or burrito I've had in Mexico, but it was the best. Food was great, everything was clean and service was really friendly. Unfortunately they were out of the shrimp tacos which means we will have to return next time!
