Empanadas
Audrey R.

is it normal to be this blown away by a dinner?!? Mary's actually had me rethinking every other culinary choice I've made - we tried the quesadillas (so cheap for HUGE portions), burritos (SO CHEAP for huge portions), empanadas (Do u see how big those are?!?), and tacos - the burritos and quesadillas were incredible, soft warm chewy tortillas with explodingly flavorful meat. the shrimp tasted like butter like it was magnificent - the empanadas were absolutely stuffed and coated in a crazy wonderful slaw - the abundance of salsas and entree toppings that come with every restaurant we hit is insane - the beans were insane like how does one make beans (isn't that just a singular ingredient) taste so different....? light like pinto but consistency of refried but lighter somehow?!?

Heuvos Sayulita

Breakfast was solid! The tortilla was fresh, burrito was a good size and hot! The heuvos Sayulita was delicious! Service was fantastic and definitely recommend!

Went here three times in 5 days!!! The fish tacos and shrimp were amazing! Everything was sooo fresh and perfectly prepared. Hard working people and owners :)

Breaded shrimp burrito. Comes with rice and beans yuuums

The food portions are great for the price you pay and the food tastes fresh! A must try! The other reviews also say the same :)

Chicken empanada, chicken enchiladas, (partly eaten) Mary's taco and fish taco
Seattle G.

Mary's was one of our favorite restaurants in Sayulita, while there in February 2021. Tried a variety of things; chicken empanada, chicken enchiladas, Mary's taco and fish tacos. Everything was delicious! Very fresh ingredients, and several yummy salsas and sauces! My favorite was the fish tacos. They were so good that I went back for more a few times in the same week! My daughters favorite was the chicken empanada. Nice selection of drinks also. Prices are very reasonable. Staff are all very friendly. Felt very welcome every time we were there. Like many restaurants in Sayulita, they only accept cash. I look forward to going back the next time I'm in Sayulita!

Fish and emilio taco.

Food is decent. If you experienced great tacos elsewhere, those are probably better. This place does not accept credit cards or bills with imperfections( superficial tearing/cuts and/or fading.)

Outdoor Seating Ambience

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! When I first walked by this place I assumed it was a tourist trap (it looked to good to be true!). There were a ton of tourists waiting in line to be sat so I wasn't sure if it was touristy or genuinely good food. My friend and I decided to give it a try and it was the best food we had throughout our four day stay in Puerto Vallarta and Sayulita! First off, the ambience is unbeatable! The outdoor seating is on the cobble stone streets and has a beautiful view of the adorable downtown. Also, their salsa selection that came with the meals was incredible, they had every kind of salsa and crema imaginable! I got Mary's Taco and Abelon Taco which were SOOO tasty and rich with flavor. On top of it all, the staff is so sweet and accommodating AND it all comes at an affordable price!

One word, empanadas! I devoured the cheesy poblano empanada and it was pure enjoyment. The fried crust was savory and crispy while the inside was filled with cheesy poblano goodness. Balanced with thinly sliced crunchy cabbage slaw, this empanada is the best i've had.

Chilaquiles

Great atmosphere and food. Make sure to order a smoothie with breakfast! Perfect spot for a quick meal

Plenty of parking

Eat here everyday, well you probably could. Best meal in Sayulita. Best in Lifetime homemade tortillas. Shrimp Sayulita tacos left a lasting imprint - like I wanted one everyday. Oh did I say everyday enough, Every dang day!

Flavors were pretty good...but hubbys steak fajitas was super chewy. It was so highly recommended so it was a bit disappointing.

Highlight was the fish tacos and grilled fish fillet. Nachos were sub par. Great food for the price though.

Friends recommended this for lunch for our day trip to Sayulita. So glad they did. The Mary's Taco and the Carne Asada taco were amazing.

Yelp Family!!! My apologies for being so MIA. But your boy is back!!…read more With a bomb restaurant recommendation for anyone who happens to be in Sayulita, Nayarit! El Itacate!!! WOW!!! This place is straight fire!! DELICIOUS tacos!! There is not one person who should be giving this restaurant less than five stars. NOBODY! Or I'll take it personally! If you're looking for the BEST and most creative tacos in Sayulita, look no further! Chicken, pork, shrimp, fish, octopus, beef, steak, vegetarian tacos.. you name it, they have it! Something for everyone! Located in downtown Sayulita on Av. Revolución, El Itacate is the perfect lunch spot for large groups! I was with a group of six and really enjoyed how spacious and comfortable it was. The setup is half indoor/ half outdoor, allowing for a lot of seating flexibility. In fact, I noticed a bachelorette party of fourteen seated out front! However, given this was Mexico in October, it was a hot, humid, muggy day. And thus my group and I opted to sit in the inside "half" of El Itacate. Although not fully indoors, having the shade and fans "blasting" towards us made my group feel that much more comfortable and ready to order! And speaking of ordering, I love how creative El Itacate is with their menu. It's plastered right by the entrance in large, bold lettering! Making things VERY easy with no true "menus" required! I loved the creativity and ease in which my friends and I were able to order our lunch! Another thing I love about El Itacate are how generous they are with their SALSAS and Guacamole! Each taco order comes with five "salsas" and a load of limes. Of the three liquid salsas, one was creamy tomatillo based, another smoky chipotle, and the third "spicy tomato." Or at least that's the best way I can describe it lol. The two solid salsas were diced red onions with cilantro and sliced white onions with habanero mixed in. I loved all five salsas equally! They were all spectacular and flavorful, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be the smoky chipotle. The guacamole was absolutely incredible as well. I love how in Mexico when you order guacamole it comes in large, generous quantities! Here in the U.S. restaurants are ridiculously cheap with their guac portions!! And as anyone who follows my reviews knows- being cheap is immoral! So stop that! Lol My only small gripe is I felt the chips were a little "stale," but we also came for lunch at kind of a weird time of the day (like 2pm?) So maybe if we had arrived earlier the chips would've tasted more fresh? Ultimately I was starving after a morning and early afternoon of playing soccer on the beach, so I opted for three tacos (could've had four but dinner was only a few hours away ha!) I opted for arrachera (skirt steak), shrimp, and mahi mahi. Each taco was relatively big and DELICIOUS!! Extremely flavorful and creative. You could also tell the tortillas were made from scratch, which I loved. The mahi mahi and shrimp were both extremely fresh tasting. And while I loved all three, if I had to choose a favorite taco I'd go with arrachera. The steak was seasoned perfectly with just the right amount of char to go with tenderness. And with tons of salsa and guacamole to add to these tacos, I was sad when the meal was over. Overall I absolutely loved the vibe of this spot. It's the perfect taco place for anyone looking for a great lunch! The ambiance is fantastic with the modern "look," fresh paint job, and inside/ outside setup. I also want to thank staff for giving me an El Itacate sticker to bring back for my wife! (She collects stickers). Free of charge too!! If you're in the area you MUST go. I wouldn't steer you wrong. A+++++

Was looking for a highly rated place to eat a quick, late lunch while visiting Sayulita for the…read moreday, and El Itacate popped up as a good option. It's located on a busy street without much of a view, so if you're looking for an oceanfront ambiance, this isn't the place. But if you're looking for decent tacos with big portions and fair prices, it's worth a stop. Would I go out of my way to eat here? No. But the food was freshly prepared in an open kitchen, it tasted good, and the free salsas and toppings (including killer grilled onions and very spicy salsas - even the mild knocked me out) provided with every entree were high quality. We ordered guacamole and chips to start, and it was pretty good. They serve those heavily oiled and thick chips that aren't my favorite, but the salsa had a nice flavor and chunks of jalapenos and tomatoes. Wanting to sample several items, we got 4 different tacos: steak, chicken, poblano pepper, and shrimp. The best was the pepper taco, followed by the chicken (which was all white breast meat). The steak was good, but the shrimp was really bad. The seasoning was very unpleasant on the shrimp, so I'd recommend skipping that one. The meat portions were very large, served on top of a dual corn tortilla. The tacos were very plain though, and they needed the added toppings and salsas. Otherwise, they'd just be piles of meat. Bonus points for three very important things: 1. the restaurant is very clean and well maintained. 2. the prices are clearly posted so you don't have to worry about the "tourist surprise" and overcharging that Sayulita is well known for. 3. there are many vegan and vegetarian options, and they are good! El Itacate doesn't serve bargain street tacos, but they're decent enough as a choice for lunch when you're in town.
