    First night in town we decided to try this place. Wow!!!! We ordered Shrimp Guacamole Alfredo pasta All of the food was on point. The service was stellar. They had a variety of salsas of course my favorite were the hot ones. The drinks were made well very flavorful. Everything was delicious and such a great location and good vibe. This is a must go to when in Punta Mita!!!

    Came in here fully loaded after watching the sunset over at the St. Regis. We were gonna eat there, but it would have left our pockets on life support... although this simply is a "I need to raise my income" problem, so that's on me. The 5 of us stumbled into La Pescadora with no reservation on a Saturday night and waited 10 minutes at the bar before we were seated about 20 feet from the water, feet in the sand. They have sort of flood lights pointed to the edge of the water so you can see the tide move up and down which is an amazing touch tbh. These small details really do take an experience from good to great. I'm beginning to see that more and more... Upon being seated, I remembered that this is the place that serves the piña colada that has been touched by the hand of god himself. Legit the best piña I've ever had. Better than anywhere in Puerto Rico which is the birthplace of the piña. But to be fair, it's a lot of factors that add to my sense of taste: the ambiance is perfect, glassware is ELITE, they pour extra rum on top of your piña right in front of you, my feet are literally in the sand with small waves breaking 20 feet from me, etc. BUT IT ALSO IS JUST A BOMB PINA SO GET OFF MY HEAD! I looked up how to say "heavy pour" in Spanish and began chanting "VERTER PESADO! VERTER PESADO!" as he was about to pour the rum and boy did our server oblige. It was a verter pesado fr. We ordered guac to start and this is one of those places where they make it right in front of you, which was another amazing detail. Good to great. At this point a mariachi band came around and took song requests. The piña began to take the wheel so I'm blanking on the songs but they were eatin it up. Thank god we had cash to tip, that coulda been real ugly lol. I ordered the catch of the day because I am a beast, and it legit tasted like it had been caught earlier in the day... I mean kind of a dumb comment from me lol it's literally called catch of the day, but nonetheless it was delicious and I demolished it like it owed me money. My nickname in high school was actually "Demolition Man." I allegedly ate half of my girlfriend's burger and loved it, but at this point I think the piña really had full control of the wheel as I have no recollection of that. One of dem ones.... La Pescadora and La Rustica are now my 1a/1b favorite restaurants on that strip of beach in Punta Mita. ¡LA PESCADORA, SE LEVANTA! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

    Tuna Sashimi
    Brooke T.

    One of my favorite restaurants in the world. The food, the people, the ambiance - all of it is incredible. Omar & the whole staff we interact with are the kindest people who are so much greater than just amazing hospitality; they are genuinely incredible and make my time in Punta Mita so special. The group of live musicians led by Carla and her family is also heart warming. They too are the best people who play and sing great music. The food is the best food I have when in Punta Mita. The tuna is like butter, so fresh it melts in your mouth. Same goes for the Ribs, they fall right off the bone in the tastiest sauce. The cooked fish is very fresh and delicious as well. Also you can't beat the view. For how amazing the people and food is, doesn't get any better than eating right along the water. 11 out of 10 recommend dining here!

    The food and drinks here were epic. Even our tequila shots came in a cool shot glass that sat in an ice glass to keep it chilled! There's sand and the kids played in it all night. The servers even brought plastic cups so that they could make castles. Fair warning the steak is like half a cow. We had two guys order it and it prob could have fed the table! Hahaha!

    Amuse bouche
    Adam D.

    Formerly the Blue Shrimp, La Pescadora has great ocean views, food, drinks and service. The waited brought us an amuse bouche compliments of the chef. The pinada is a must. It's somewhere between a drink and a dessert! The guac was hand-made tableside. The fried calamari was among the best I've ever had. So fresh. The coconut shrimp and blue shrimp were out of this world good. The coconut shrimp had a nice thick batter yet the shrimp were not the least bit overcooked. We finished with a complimentary delicious chocolate dessert. About the only thing I didn't care for was the huachinango (whole snapper on the bone). The fish itself was cooked perfectly but it lacked flavor. I opted for Adobo. Maybe go with the garlic option if given the choice.

    Red snapper, prepared with rosemary garlic marinade. Fresh, melt-in-your-mouth. And they even de-boned it!

    The food, atmosphere, and service are absolutely top-shelf. If you're staying anywhere in Punta Mita, La Pescadora is a must-visit. They hand-mash the guacamole and salsa in mortars at the table, the fish is caught fresh every day and prepared with delicious local marinades, drinks are stellar (try a mezcal marg), and the vibe is immaculate. So good we've eaten here 3 times in 2 days thus far, and each time has been fantastic. All the staff are incredibly kind, and really made us feel like true amigos--part of the family. After our meal the chef even came out to explain how he cooks the fish (we had red snapper), because we couldn't believe how juicy and flavorful it was. Oh, and they have a bunch of different seating options: Tables on the sand, bar seats facing the ocean, and an elevated dining room just above the beach with waves lapping below. So anything from a quick lunch (the poké bowl is awesome) to casual beachside drinks, to a full feast at dinner time with live music, these guys have it figured out. I could go on and on about this place. We had an incredible experience and would recommend it to anyone--you won't be disappointed!

    Wow wow wow! I came here based on the TripAdvisor and yelp reviews and did not disappoint! Not only does it have the most stunning views, we sat in the sand with the most delightful waiter and the most exceptional service. My husband and I enjoyed the tableside guacamole and ceviche served with homemade chips. Both were delicious. Again, wow. For our entrées my husband had and I had the shrimp tacos both were out of this world amazing. Both served with homemade corn tortillas. Our drinks were also quite delicious mine was very innovative. I had a pina colada that was a frozen purée and then, tableside, the server poured the Bacardi. The fresh shredded coconut kept getting stuck in the straw. It was delightful!!! The amuse Boucher were memorable as well. We Will definitely remember this delightfully delicious experience.

    Beachside bar
    John M.

    Cute, open air, restaurant with a giant palapa for the indoor and bar area. Outdoor seating is available on a patio right next to the beach. Lovely ocean view. This place has a typical Mexican beach restaurant feel, but is really charming and a little upscale. Service was excellent. Menu had a wide variety. Wine list was nice.

    Chocolate mousse
    Gargi A.

    Top marks all around - ambience, flavors, service. We had the ceviche, shrimp agua Chile, beet salad and everything was very fresh and well made. The dessert chocolate mousse was also so well presented and tasted delicious. Of course the best thing was the ambience and attentive service (Ephraim thank you!!). If you visit punta de mita, highly recommend you visit La Pescadora!!

    Genesis M.

    Great service and great food. If you want to enjoy the ocean breeze and waves while eating highly recommend this place. Also recommend it for a nice romantic dinner

    Food was ok. They had very limited fresh catch options. Food ordered was not what we expected. Taste was meh. Service was slow. Would not come back. Views were great!

    View from outdoor seating
    Marissa G.

    Everything was delicious and the service was excellent! Our server provided some excellent suggestions and kept our drinks filled. We started with the maple octopus (I was skeptical) and the chipotle shrimp tacos, both delicious! The handmade corn and flour tortillas were a hit. We were also brought a "compliment from the chef" to begin, it was a shrimp and jicama roll-up. Not my favorite but still pretty good! Next, we had the shrimp scampi pasta - YUM! Handmade pasta with a garlic herb sauce and fresh shrimp. I also tried the Whole Snapper, fried, cooked to perfection. So flaky and tender! Fries were delicious also, crispy like fries should be! Dessert was a trio of chocolate mousse, key lime pie, and pistachio flan - all decadent and delicious. Overall, a beautiful night and a delicious meal!

    Update: After eating at most high end places in Punta Mita,…read moreBahia was waaaaaaay overpriced. $600 for 2 adults and a teen, no alcohol. We decided to dine here on our first evening in Punta Mita and it was an enjoyable meal. The place was a little loud if I'm being honest, but the sunset view quickly made up for that. The staff were especially nice and attentive. We started with the Chips and Guacamole, and the guacamole was exceptional. Next up was the Tuna Carpaccio which was fantastic. We then had fresh Baked bread with a very tasty spread, the Burrata and Greek salads. My better half really enjoyed the Greek salad most of all while I leaned more towards the Burrata. She had the Grilled Fish, which she thoroughly enjoyed. The kid had the Beef Tenderloin and he really, really liked it. I had the New York Strip, which was good but not great. Everything was a little heavy on the olive oil TBH. The Baklava and Pistachio Ice Cream dessert was pretty good, but the Baklava was quite dry. All in all, it was a very nice experience and I would recommend going here.

We loved the Greek salad so much that we ordered two! Hummus was good, octopus was cooked perfectly, and my ragu gnocchi was very good (just wish the portion was bigger)!

We, along with just one other table, were the only foreigners dining at the restaurant, a good sign if you're interested in eating local food in my opinion. We got some complimentary pico de gallo and chips to start. For appetizer we got a dozen freshly shucked oysters. The oysters from this area are salty and a bit chewier than most oysters you get in the states, or even on the eastern side of Mexico. We specifically came to this restaurant to eat zarandeado fish, a traditional Nayarit method of marinating then grilling the whole fish. You have to choose your fish (they charge by the kilo) then they cook it for you, takes 40-60 minutes. The fish is then served with a cabbage slaw, rice, beans and warm corn tortillas. This fish and its accompaniments made for the best DIY fish tacos we had in Mexico. After drinking my coconut water the coconut was "prepared", in other words sliced and sprinkled with tajin, just add a squeeze of lime and enjoy. All this food as well as a couple of glasses of wine, coconut water and regular flat water cost us $770 Mexican pesos (~43 US$). This is more expensive than just getting tacos at a street stand obviously but it was definitely fairly priced for this setting. Service was so friendly and accommodating.

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.
