Bistro Organico in San Pancho, Nayarit, Mexico

Bistro Organico's chefs use local and organic products whenever possible, shop at the nearby farmer's markets or direct from local growers/vendors, create own yoghurt, fresh bread and scones daily and, of course, the seafood is always fresh!

The menu is exquisite yet reasonably priced. For example, menu ranges from 45 pesos (gaspacho/tomato soup) to 200 pesos (tequila flamed prawns in chipotle sauce) served wholegrain rice and fresh vegetables.

Except on Mondays, we are open to the public for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Breakfasts (8am to Noon)

A delicious continental breakfast is served on the garden patio every morning, as a complimentary to our Hotel guests (www.hotelcielorojo.com). However, except on Mondays, the restaurant is open to the public. Breakfast favorites include our homemade yogurt, fruits and honey (copa de salud/ cup of health) served with toasted homebaked vegan bread. The best local coffee, espresso or Macha tea (japanese green tea served with whipped soya/milk - absolutely delicious and so good for you!). Or try our Coconut & Mango Spelt Pancakes (for those who are NOT wheat lovers), spinach and mushroom omelettes (served with the best black bean sauce). Mexican breakfasts are equally enticing with home made salsas, tortillas hecho-a-mano. Or for a lighter breakfast, Bistro Organico's morning chef and baker, Mario - makes the bread (vegan), scones (almost vegan) with cranberry, chocolate or raisins which are served warm and toasted with fresh butter, or try the biscotte-style cookies - so irrestible, its almost a ritual to order a small bag to go, everytime!

Lunch (Noon to 3pm)

Equally exciting, the Lunch menu offers great options for a light lunch between meetings, or a complete meal for the family or (simply) that break needed with a delicious cup of coffee, tea or beer -- as you soak in a bit of sun in our open air patio area. The popular menu items are the fish / shrimp sandwhiches (local seafood, deliciously grilled and prepared with homemade bread, avocado, sprouts - by the way, another homemade creation in our kitchen! A choice of wonderful green salads - made with quality ingredients like the Cielo Rojo salad with jicama, mango, cherry tomatoes, cilantro with chile-lime dressing. The Cielo Rojo Tortilla Soup (reviewed as the "best tortilla soup in mexico" by one of our guests) is only 48 pesos!, Smoked Marlin Tostadas, Quesadillas with choices of Vitamin rich veggies (spinach, pepperleaf), shrimp, portobello, or smoked marlin. And this is only a few examples of your options for lunch. Now, just imagine what dinner is like!

Dinner (6pm to 10pm)

Before even ordering your dinner at Bistro Organico, the sweet experience starts with entering the lovely, ecclectic patio, noticing the pleasant sound of water trickling from the rock fountain (as well as the music of the hotel's iPod playing anything from classic jazz, independent beats or sometimes traditional island music!) then once seated - you look up and  realize you're under the stars -- the air is fresh (and scented by aromas coming from the open kitchen and the potted herbs like basil and mint nearby).  The soft lighting and candles sorround you with a sense of warmth and care --and your lovely evening has just begun. 

Popular dinner choices include Bistro's hand-made Sopes with Hisbiscus flowers with original green salsa and fresh mexican cheese to start, then followed by the grapefruit, avocado on a bed of organic greens with honey dressing salad. Then for your main dish, try the local fish with garlic infused olive oil and rosemary, the best vegetarian lasagna with goat and parmesan cheeses or the seared poblano chiles stuffed with our signature Smoked Marlin served with wholegrain rice and black bean sauce. Finally,  for those who love home-made desserts, this is the place to enjoy delicious pies (blueberry, raspberry) in a smooth sour cream custard topped with pecan crumbles, or indulge in the chocolate and mocha brownie served with homemade icecream.

Bistro Organico  is proud of its special Tequila menu - offering tequila 'flights or trios" for those who know good tequila and enjoy savoring the uniqueness of each one.
