Tail of the Whale Restaurant — Restaurant in Nayarit

These breakfast burritos are STUFFED like a Thanksgiving turkey. STUFFED like LeBron meeting Tiago Splitter at the rim in game 2 of the 2013 NBA finals. This is how burritos should be. The burrito gods are looking down on Tail of the Whale, smiling from ear to ear.

I don’t know why this place has never been recommended to me when staying on the Punta Mita compound, as I only found it through a google search. Maybe the burrito gods wanted me to earn this. Little did they know I’m from Manhattan Beach, where nothing is given, everything is earned.

This spot has been a CRUCIAL find for me because I’ve found it tough to get an elite breakfast in the area. They have everything from waffles to chilaquiles to pancakes to a protein omelette to the aforementioned breakfast burrito blessed by the gods. Some free game here, you’d be a FOOL to not start with the pastry basket. Bread basket kinda weak tho, skip that.

It has an absolute scenic view while being completely shaded by the clubhouse roof, as it overlooks the driving range of the golf course which is overlooked by the Puerto Vallarta Mountains in the distance.

I also NEED to shoutout this glassware, as it ties together the entire space. This glassware was so unreal that we went and found them and bought 8 of them lol. Idk, I get inspired by the weirdest things sometimes. I could tell you where we got them but I’m gate keeping that I already give y’all enough.

Had lunch a couple of times after golf. Food was good and portions large. Consider sharing a sandwich if you don't want to ruin your dinner plans later!...

Delicious food with...
