OUTSTANDING!
I have been to every single restaurant & food stand in sayulita. I split my time between here & NorCal. So I know everything sayulita has to offer. The zocalo, or the "center" of sayulita, is the equivalent to pier 39 in San Francisco. It's busy, lots of foot traffic, the shops & restaurants are packed. But that doesn't mean it's good, that means it's a good location. It's a tourist trap. The only restaurant in downtown that's worth your money is "La Rustica" Other than that, all the food is below average. Tourists just don't know any better. THIS restaurant, however, is OUTSTANDING!! The food is made with care using fresh, high-quality ingredients. The mashed potato is made from scratch, with creme & butter. The fish is as fresh as it can get. It's delicate & seared just right. The sauce the 'filete dorado' is cooked in perfectly balanced. It's tart, buttery, smooth & savory. This restaurant is the epitome of a 'hidden gem' It's not downtown, but it's SO worth the detour. Save yourself from the mediocrity of the tourist traps in downtown & venture outside! Enjoy sayulita :)

Truly worth it!
We visited Restaurante Don Juan in Sayulita on November 16, 2024, for breakfast at 9:30 a.m. The meal was a blend of traditional and rich flavors. I had the Enchilada Suiza Verde, which was incredibly flavorful, and my partner enjoyed the hearty Desayuno Norteño. The food was undeniably authentic and showcased the local essence, but don’t let the modest exterior of the restaurant deter you from stepping in. Early in the morning, the place was dimly lit and quite empty, making us the first customers of the day. The main downside was our server, who seemed quiet and disengaged, as though they might have had a rough morning. However, the food quality and the authentic local ambiance more than made up for it. The aesthetics leaned more rustic // ranch-style, adding charm. One notable plus is that they accept credit cards, which is a convenient bonus. Make it well worth the visit for genuine Mexican cuisine!!!
