Norma’s Tacos
If you’re looking for hearty and authentic Mexican food, then Norma’s Tacos is the place to be. It goes without saying that visitors are spoiled for choice when it comes to upmarket luxurious restaurants in Punta Mita. Sometimes, however, the most memorable dining experiences happen at local eateries. Situated in the residential neighborhood of Punta Mita, the legendary Norma’s Tacos has customers spilling over onto the street every evening. Claimed by many to be the best tacos in the world, the menu includes flavors like birria, adobada and al pastor. You can also enjoy quesadillas, enchiladas and pozole (served at weekends only).
The restaurant is proudly run by Norma and her husband, both of whom offer the warm hospitality and service at the heart of Mexican culture. The owners encourage customers to bring their own beers to enjoy during the meal or to try the house special horchata (a sweet milk made from nuts). It’s hard to only visit Norma’s Tacos once, so don’t be surprised if you end up being a repeat customer!
Bahía
The aptly named Bahía (bay in Spanish) is located in a prime spot on Las Cuevas beach, inviting patrons to enjoy the Pacific’s rhythmic waves and breathtaking ocean views. This chic beachfront grill is the definition of tropical meets luxury, as it offers guests an outdoor dining experience in a vibrant ambiance. Being located directly on the beach means that freshly-caught seafood is one of the menu’s highlights. Chef Sandoval, however, ensures that each of his dishes is prepared with a unique spin, such as the inclusion of signature sauces or local ingredients. All of the fish, meat and vegetables are cooked in a wood burning grill to add a rich, smokey kick to the world-class dishes.
Bahía ticks all of the boxes when it comes to fine-dining, including staff and service. Many recurring compliments from diners mention the warm welcome and attentiveness of the team, as well as their expertise with regards to the menu. Sommeliers are available to give wine recommendations that pair perfectly with your dish and tequila masters will gladly explain the variety of tequilas and mezcals. If fancy beach restaurants tickle your fancy, Bahía is an absolute must during your stay at our
