A TASTE OF PUNTA MITA

Part of what makes Punta Mita so special is the range of dining just minutes from home, from beachfront beach clubs to humble family-run taco stands.

Start with a beach day at La Rustica Mita, a lively beach club perched right on the sand in front of the El Anclote surf break. Wood-fired pizzas, fresh pastas, and standout margaritas make it an easy favorite for a long lunch with your toes in the sand.

Just down the road, Mina is a Punta Mita staple, known for its relaxed beachfront setting and a menu that captures the essence of the local culinary scene. Reservations are recommended, especially around sunset.

For something more festive, Casa Tradicional offers an authentic taste of Mexico, with tableside guacamole, sizzling molcajetes, and live harp music setting the mood most nights. It's a favorite for celebrations, and the service is exemplary.

And when you're craving something simple and delicious, the local taco stands are hard to beat. Tacos Jr. serves up some of the best street-style tacos in town, while Tacos on the Street brings the same laid-back, authentic charm — fresh tortillas, house-made salsas, and horchata.
