Restaurant Guide - Punta de Mita
In Punta de Mita there are so many good restaurants you won't be able to try them all. Everything from fresh seafood and mariscos, to great Italian food, classic Mexican fare, excellent cafés, handmade ice cream and paleta shops and of course, tacos!
La Cabaña Restaurant
Another local favorite with a little bit more of a laid-back vibe is La Cabaña, one of the original beachfront restaurants in Punta de Mita.
At La Cabaña visitors will find fresh Mexican inspired seafood dishes, a full bar and fair prices. Relax with your toes in the sand with a cold cerveza and ceviche or aguachilé!
Norma's Tacos
Open for dinner only, Norma’s Tacos is the single best spot in Punta de Mita for authentic tacos, pozole, sopes and more. This family-owned restaurant runs out of the front porch of their home, tucked in the residential Emiliano Zapato neighborhood of Punta de Mita. The atmosphere is warm and casual and guests are invited to bring their own beer, which they can buy from the minimart on the corner, or try the house special, a rotating "agua fresca" made fresh daily!
La Panga de Mita
La Panga de Mita is a gem of a restaurant that serves wood-fired pizzas, a diverse selection of speciality burgers, wings and fresh salads with house-made dressings. There is an area to sit and eat outside or they have delivery service available as well. Come for the food- all made with the freshest ingredients- and stay for the friendly service and atmosphere! (closed Mondays)
Taquería Las Adelitas
If you come to Taquería Las Adelitas you are in for a wonderful taco experience. This taquería is run by a local family who really knows how to cook! The "asada" (steak) and "chorizo" (pork) are prepared "al carbon" (over hot charcoal) and their salsa selection is vast and diverse. We especially love a "quesa-taco" or a "volcán" with an ice cold horchata!
MAKAI Restaurant
MAKAI is a fun restraunts with laidback vibes and ultra fresh flavors. Located just across the street from the entrance to La Lancha beach, MAKAI is a perfect stop for an after surf lunch or early dinner- try a tuna tostada!
MINA
One of the most well received restaurants in Punta de Mita is MINA which is part of the DeMita Restaurant Group. At MINA guests can enjoy beachfront dining, fresh catch-of-the-day seafood displayed and exquisite salsas and cocktails made table-side.
A favorite regional dish in Nayarit in the "pescado zarandeado" - an entire fish grilled over an open flame marinated in the unique salsa and spice blend!
