Alberto, a bartender and seafood expert from Mexico City, and Alonso "Pollo," a grill master born and raised in Nayarit, joined forces in Sayulita to do what they love most
— and you can taste it in every bite.
We're a small taquería-bar with a big soul. Every taco comes straight off the carbon grill. The arrachera marinates for 24 hours in our house recipe. The Black Buddha Aguachile is made with fresh shrimp and a sauce unlike anything you've tried. The loaded baked potatoes are a full meal. And Alberto's seafood knowledge — the kind that only comes from growing up eating great mariscos in Mexico City — shows in everything he touches.
We believe good cooking is a ritual, not fast food. Everything is made to order with fresh, local ingredients. We're a small kitchen - we appreciate your patience, it's always worth it.
Beyond the food: pool table, table games, karaoke Saturdays, and weekly deals that keep the regulars coming back. Monday 3-for-2 tacos, Tuesday local discount, Thursday ladies' night with 2-for-1 margaritas, and Sunday's legendary hangover cure.
If you're a local — welcome home. It someone sent you here — that person is a good friend.
