The view from the beach is amazing. The service is so good and the fish tacos were incredible!

Phenomenal ambience, fast service, and delicious seafood Quality: 5 Value: 5 Service: 5 Ambience: 5 Mar Y Sol is a slightly dressed up version of Fat Boy's a couple blocks down. Their aguachile was phenomenal and the servers were extremely attentive and fast. The whole place was super clean, and the wifi was faster than our hotel's! read more

Outstanding. Best service we've seen, Fernando was superb. Had the fisherman platter, shrimp to die for, lobsters were small but very tasty not certain what the fish was but it was very good. We split the meal and had plenty of food. No wonder people love this place. read more

October 1/2022: I'm getting the feeling that restaurants in this tourist area are only interested in delivery a mediocre plate to the customers table! This was another mediocre meal. Nothing really wrong with it except there wasn't much flavour. My coconut shrimp were big, but not much flavour. The whipped sweet potatoes were tasty, but it was all sugar. The veggies were few, but could have been hotter. The garlic bread was simply too salty. I'm struggling to find a solid meal in a Bucerias, Mexico to be sure. read more

Mar y Sol - Pescado Zarandeado...so good! - Mexican Near Me - Bahía de Banderas, NAY

We are very spoiled where we live so it's challenging to enjoy an open air restaurant on a hot and humid day with a very minor breeze. But the grilled whole red snapper made it worth the buckets of sweat we paid. The mussels in wine sauce were tasty too and the sauce found it's way to the rice served with the fish. The only downside was the ceviches are premade so we could not partake as we cannot eat raw onion for dietary reasons. We have been able to order this at other restaurants. I believe the guacamole was the same issue. The service was very good as well. read more

Great location on the beach, with two levels of dining. The straw umbrellas on the beach block a bit of the view but also add to the ambiance. There are plenty of tables outside. The servers are attentive and chatty and sometimes you can catch live music. We ate fresh fish here several times when staying in the Bucerias area. Lost a star because once they fried it when we asked for grilled. They say it's local sustainably caught fish. read more

This is our usual beach spot - it's one of the few places that does not charge for a chair/umbrella. As long as you order something from the menu, you are free to use their tables, lounge chairs and umbrellas. The food is pretty good and reasonably priced. It isn't inflated like most touristy spots. The drinks specials are the best - they are 2 drinks for the price of 1 from 1pm-5pm. read more

Fabulous food and it's right on the ocean! The atmosphere is laid back and comfortable with great service staff!. They are one of the few restaurants in the area with their own parking lot! We love it! read more

Wonderful ambiance at this restaurant. We sat right on the beach. We ordered the grilled fish, octopus, ceviche and the seafood casserole. I would recommend any of these options, particularly the seafood casserole. The service was great and overall experience was excellent. read more

Oh my gosh 10/10!!!! The food was so amazing I forgot to take photos. But this restaurant was incredible. From the staff, to the food, to the views, I couldn't imagine better food. For starters, we forgot our debit card at home so finding restaurants that took credit cards was almost impossible, we were starting to really not enjoy our trip to Puerto Vallarta because we were having to cook all our food. Then we found this place. They took credit cards! The prices were great as well. Not overpriced at all. My husband got the surf-n-turf and said it was incredible. The shrimp were massive and the steak was beyond tender and full of flavor. They loaded up his plate with the most beautiful veggies too. I got the Caesar salad, the coconut shrimp and the house made Flan (don't judge me, I'm pregnant and hadn't eaten all day haha). The salad was amazing, freshly graded cheese and one of the best salad dressings I've had. The coconut shrimp was to die for, first the shrimp were huge! They loaded up my dish with delicious veggies, and the mango/berry sauce for dipping was delicious. There was also a side of mashed sweet potatoes that were delicious as well. But the star of the show was the house made flan. OH MY GOSH IT WAS INCREDIBLE! Now i don't know if it's my pregnancy craving or if it was really that amazing but 1000/10!!!!! It was pistachio flavor with a pistachio crust, it had dollops of home made whip cream next to it as well as the most perfect slices of fresh FIGS! I could have literally bathed in that homemade pistachio flan. It was one of the best desserts I've ever had. GO TO THIS RESTAURANT! read more

Make sure you have lots of time as service was very slow. Food was delivered quickly but don't ask for anything extra. The salsa was hot so we asked for a mild since my fiancé doesn't eat hot. After 15 minutes, the waiter came back to ask if we needed anything but still no salsa or water. It was not crowded, only 2 other tables. What was our waiter doing in the back? Never introduced himself but bill said Mariano. Kept disappearing. Meal was delicious and reasonably priced, fried whole snapper with rice and grilled veggies. Steak with veggies. With 2 meals, a soft drink and 3 alcoholic beverages, the bill was $80. read more

Pros; on the beach, you can use the lounge chairs and umbrellas as long as you purchase something. Cons; waiter was rude and disinterested. They didn't have bottled water, or any drinkable water for that matter. Kind of something that's important. Prices are higher, but you are paying for the location. read more

We really liked the location of Mar y Sol- beachfront with a beautiful view. The food was good depending on what you ordered, but I was more impressed the last time I ate here three years ago than I was this time. I ordered the coconut shrimp and wasn't overly impressed- it was good, but average. I also had Chile rellenos and loved those. Overall, we would eat here again for the location and we would stick with the stuffed pepper and bacon wrapped shrimp! read more

Food here is fresh and the wait staff was very efficient and always available . Great views of the bay and great beach vibe

I had been looking forward to this restaurant all week long. Came and ordered coconut shrimp with only a small request that my shrimp not touch the sweet potatoes. Because I don't like them soggy. They made it their usual way so I sent It back. They sent the same shrimp back with sweet potatoes on it just rearranged on the plate‍. On a happy note they took it off the ticket. I just hate that it ruin our experience when I have been looking forward to i read more

A great place to eat right on the beach with good friendly waiters and reasonably priced with a wide selection. We had the shrimp and chicken fajitas to share and each had a side salad. Mine was the Apple, walnut with goat cheese and a vinaigrette dressing. My husband had the Cesar and both were really good! We'll be back again next time we are here. Love Bucerias read more

The Mar y Sol is a must-visit for our family when we travel this way, and is generally very good. The Mexican Platter is amazing and has a great sampling of food. The grilled fish is to die for. The guacamole is also very delicious. read more

We were staying in Nuevo Vallarta and wanted to run into a town for local cuisine. The people at the resort said that Mar y sol was good so hopped in a taxi and headed out! Mar y sol is right in the beach. We opted not for a table inside but went down on the sand at one of the many tables. My wife was in the mood for seafood and I decided on fajitas. Both were delicious! We started with chips and guac because duh, guac! Excellent! They do use flour tortilla chips and would have preferred corn but whatever. 2 for 1 happy hour margaritas... score! We ended up stuffed and ready for a siesta but managed to roll out and find a taxi back to the room. Our only complaint was the street vendors hawking everything imaginable while you are sitting trying to have a meal. No bueno. read more

Took the family and had a great night. Two ordered the whole fish (delicious), one order of steak fajitas (steak was so nicely seasoned), guacamole (large and delicious) and ceviche (I am just getting in to this, sounds strange I know but a little too fishy tasting for me). We sat on the beach and the view and all it does not get better. Highly recommend to try. read more

We love the coconut shrimp--huge delish and not too much batter! The whole flash fried huachinango or red snapper is fabulously sweet, fresh and tasty. You can ask for roasted garlic on it! Enough for two people with small serving of rice and veggies as a garnish. Guacamole is great. Ocean views seating up or down on the beach give you a show with your meal. Great service and tasty flavorful super fresh made to order seafood and steak and Mexican dishes. Good value. Casual setting. Our favorite spot in Bucerias. They have their own parking lot too! read more

Best fish I've ever had. And I've tried a lot of fish at a lot of places around this world

We had an amazing dinner here. We were lured in by the delicious smell of the charcoal grill & Miguel who was a super friendly server. Sat right on the beach and watched the sun go down over margaritas & homemade Spicy salsa. We ordered grilled butterflied shrimp with garlic that we just awesome. The street vendors will interrupt your dinner on repeat if you sit on the beach but we thought the view & food was well worth it. We loved the great & very attentive service from Miguel. We will return! read more

Great place on the beach for sunset dinners. The food is fantastic and reasonably priced. We had appetizers drinks and two meals. Everything we had had great flavors and was prepared over a wood/charcoal fired grill. The kabob was loaded with steak and shrimp and tasted great. The Maha Maha filet was a generous cut and marinated then cooked over the grill. We enjoy visiting this place every time we visit PV. We highly recommend trying this place.. it never disappoints. read more

Tried this place 5 years ago, been back 4 times since. Each and every single visit is more incredible than the previous. The staff is great, service is quick and the pescado zarandeado is the most exquisite fish I've ever experienced. It's plain to see the location is a plus, right on the beach. But the fish is what keeps bringing me back. Consistency is very important and each year they never disappoint. Gracias!!! read more

Great service at this place despite the crowd. Service staff were really friendly and couldn't be any nicer. They even accommodated our request to make something which was not on the menu.

If you like some kick to your margarita, this is where to have it. Great happy hour price (2 for 1), and I'm pretty sure the happy hour starts when this place opens and ends when it closes. Get a shaded table beachside and watch the waves, the sunset, the swimmers, the pelicans. Do your travel shopping from your table while sipping a cocktail instead of at the market. Take your sandals off and get your toes cool and sandy. Order some food, it's great, too. We tried the shrimp aguachile yesterday for the first time here, it's amazing. This is raw shrimp cooked in lime juice, with some pulverized jalapeño sauce on top. Fresh and delicious. Service is efficient and relaxed. If you find anything not to your liking here, you are too early in your vacation. read more

We were referred to this restaurant by the staff at RIU. At first my wife nothing not much of it cuz it's dark. The greeter Caesar had warm and inviting personality. When we found out he had relatives near us (Pittsburg, Ca) and he knew of where we lived the rapport was the game changer . The menus ranged from surf n turf, to burgers, to fish n chips which was what I chose. They used Snapper which gave it a different taste n texture that was actually quite tasty and I was glad I chose it. BTW-they have a regular menu and "snack" menu. Don't be fooled by the wording "snack". They were full sized portions and it makes me wonder about the regular menu portions. The kids ordered a burger a healthy size that they couldn't finish. Next time back in PV, even though we're at an all inclusive, I'd definitely come back and try perhaps items off the regular menu.... read more

Good but not great. Wife didn't love the coconut shrimp and I got the pescado mar y sol. Seasoning was great but some of the fish tasted a little strong for my taste. And the vendors are pretty constant there. That said, would be killer during the day with kids that can swim out to the aquatic playground. read more

First time and no disappointed at all. This place had a great menu of seafood. The pescado Sarandeado was very delicious, the ceviche and the lobster tacos, were really good. Great time, with family by the beach and good services. Very crowded but they did their best to help us out, our server was very nice and attentive. I will definitely be back next time that I am in town again. read more
