Capitan Pablo's — Restaurant in Nayarit

Overall, the best beach front restaurant in Sayulita from our experience.

Juan was the absolute BEST. We came here our first day and hung on the beach the entire day and Juan was friendly, attentive and helpful. He remembered us each day and even reserved us a table on the last day we were there! Honestly the highlight of our experience. The food was good, we tried many things and all was light and delicious, perfect beach food. The steak was so tender,, the nachos are a must! We tried all the margaritas & most of the other drinks too and all were tasty! I'd recommend the cucumber Serrano margaritas.

The beach vendors will all come up to you, I recommend purchasing on your last day. You can haggle a little but honestly, the prices weren't bad and those people are working hard walking the beach in the sand all day. David selling jewelry was our favorite. You can also purchase most of the items they are selling in the plaza if you'd rather see it...

Captain Pablo's has a great location, good food, and friendly staff. Juan/Alejandro were both very friendly. Juan makes a great margarhita and is the man. The Mahi-Mahi fish (and chips) was some of the most tender fried fish I've ever had. The Red Snapper was great and I would recommend it to anyone who has never tried it. One morning we went out with Captain Pablo himself, caught a couple Mahi-Mahi, then came back to lunch where the restaurant cleaned and cooked up the fish with a delicious rub and sauteed garlic. The other fish we caught that day was made into an incredible fresh ceviche (photos of the [same] fish). Served with salsas, rice, beans, tortillas- all the fixings. Great way to see the surrounding coast, catch fish, and eat fresh food.

Next to Captain Pablo's is Patricia's board shop (shared ownership). During our time here we rented boards for three weeks. I would recommend it for long term and short...

Went with my husband and our 3 1/2 yr old son. Amazing place amazing people amazing location. Exactly the type of food you would expect from small-town Mexico delicious fresh easy to order. Patricia was an absolute amazing hostess great conversationalist !Juan our waiter was an absolute class act as well ,great guy awesome server!!!! we had a great time ,felt very welcome all of the staff were super helpful and accommodating. Our son Eli had a blast here both under the cabana and down on their beach. We enjoyed the people and food as well!!!Although we only got to visit a couple of times it will be an absolute definite revisit and a place we highly recommend. They also offer on site surf lessons and rentals, several fishing options as well!! Seriously the one stop shop for us. can’t wait...
