The food is all very fresh and selections quickly run out for the evening. They were out of the pork chops, peanut crusted fish, and the grilled green beans. We started with a cheesy spinach queso dip and chips and also got some fresh warm bread. My husband and I split the steak meat loaf (wrapped in bacon and cheese) and the Magnolias chicken. They were formally out of potatoes but Alex rounded some up for the meat loaf and our friend's filet mignon. The chicken was stuffed with Brie and cranberries and other goodies. I ordered a side salad that was incredible and had cucumbers, tomatoes, goat cheese, avocado, nuts and other goodies. It had a very light jalapeño honey dressing. For dessert we had a blueberry cream brûlée with an Alaskan name that I've forgotten. We also had a nice Chilean Malbec. "When in Mexico, eat Mexican" has its limits, so after a week this was a delightful find that all of the "local seasonal tourists" frequent.

I ordered agrichilles which is a blend of sweet-and-sour sauce over fried shrimp. It was very flavorful. My husband ordered shrimp rellenos it was a shrimp wrapped in bacon and cheese but the portion size was larger than I've seen in America and they were formed in a ball shape. Really delicious! Most of our party was satisfied with their food but we also had to wait over an hour to receive it. Be prepared to wait.

La Vena is the quintessential beach palapa restaurant. It is very popular with the sailors and…read morepowerboaters who anchor in the protected anchorage out front and dinghy or swim in. Some customers also walk down the beach from Los Angeles Locos, the hotel that controls access by land. Visitors by car follow the hotel signs and then drive past the hotel down the beach road and park in the palms and walk back to La Vena. If you come by car you can only get through the hotel Gates sorting open hours at the restaurant, and you may be required to leave your license and show your receipt when you exit. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. All depends on the mood of the guard. So after getting you worried about access, let me assure you that it will be worth it. The restaurant has been run by the same family for the 15 years that we have been visiting Tenacatita. The menu is small and simple and is all local. They are well known for their Rollo del Mar, fish wrapped around shrimp with a rich sauce. Their empanadas de camerones are my favorite. Three large empanadas in an order. Plenty for two normal appetites. I've cold beers, good margaritas, agua minerales and assorted soft drinks make a great place to spend a few hours as the breezes blow through the palapa. Great beach for swimming too with changing room and a fresh water shower
