TeTeres's Tacos — Restaurant in Nayarit

On this visit to Punto De Mita we had a goal of trying out some of the local taco places. Teresa's Tacos deserves a call out. Open only for dinner they occupy the street corner and open up the kitchen to the street. The vibe is nothing like any other place in town, everything is well illuminated, the kitchen and outdoor tables and chairs are all white and are matched sets (many taquerias feature an assortment of "tables" and seating from old outdoor chairs, boxes and such.

Service is warm, quick, and polite, English is well understood. Food is FANTASTIC, fast and a great value. Take some with you for a midnight taco or two.

We waited more than 30 minutes for our food and there were only 2 other tables seated when we arrived. Sorry, but Normas...

Teresa's is one of the best tacos in town. They open at six during tourist season. Many locals eat here, and it's a place they recommended often when I first moved here a few years ago. I hit this place up first thing upon my return if I've been away for very long.

Teresa has gladly accommodated vegan and vegetarian diners I've brought to her, and she always has a person to translate.

Also, Teresa's is very affordable. 100 pesos will get you five generous tacos.

If you are coming up from Punta Mita beach, it's very easy to walk the three blocks to Teresa's and...
