Shop & Eat in Bucerias
Whether you want to kick back in a lounge chair at the beach and have them bring you a bucket of beers or you want to barter with the locals in the market place for a prized souvenir, Bucerias is our top choice for visiting an authentic Mexican town. The people are ridiculously friendly in this little town at the north end of Flamingos beach. The action centers around the local square where the historic church takes center stage.

4. Armando’s Place
This home restaurant is tucked away in a neighborhood about 4 blocks from the beach, but it is well worth the short walk. Be sure to try the fish tacos and the refreshing frozen lemonade blended with fresh basil! We normally go for lunch, but have heard that dinners are equally delicious.

5. Panino’s
A great little place for breakfast and lunch. Don’t miss the omelets, biscuits and gravy, and the artisan breads that you can purchase to enjoy later.

6. La Quinta di Francesco
This little Italian gem is within easy walking distance or a VERY short cab ride of Villa La Estancia. We LOVE their thin crust pizza! Their other dishes are also pretty good. Opens for dinner at 6 PM.

7. Yo Yo Mo’s Pizza & Sports Bar
When you want to relax and have a fun night out, check out this Canadian-owned sports bar. The service is friendly, beer is cold, and the pizza is yummy. What more could you ask for!?!?

8. Pie In The Sky
When you are looking for an indulgent treat, head to Pie in the Sky to get a Beso. This triple chocolate brownie features a mocha lava center that should be paired with vanilla ice cream. OMG! They have other dessert offerings, but nothing beats the beso.

9. Pollo Feliz
This chain restaurant serves up awesome spit-fired whole chickens served with fresh corn tortillas and salsa. Don’t miss the cheese covered baked potatoes that are equally as good. Tuesday nights, they have a buy one chicken, get a half free deal. Located at the intersection of the main highway (200) and the main road into downtown Bucerias. Order at the takeout window and grab a cab back to eat it on the balcony.
10. Le Bistrot
You might not think of French cuisine in Mexico, but you’ll love the authentic dishes and informal atmosphere. They have traditional favorites like Duck Confit and Foie Gras, and there are always daily specials too.
