Tree House Cafe & Grill — Restaurant in Nayarit

I’ve been here a few times now and find the ambience really cool. It’s outdoors but mostly covered and the bar is literally built around a massive tree.

Live music most evenings. Food is mostly good and I’ll add a few comments (which I’ll qualify were based on one meal each for most); ribs very good, BBQ chicken a bit dry, garlic shrimp awesome - rice side a bit dry but veggies were al dente great. Desserts (cheesecake and carrot cake) were good and terrific portions and presentation.

Drinks were good and average prices for La Cruz (not cheap but better than a Canadian bar of similar quality - and that’s the way to judge things here in my opinion because we’re supporting the local economy/jobs).

A couple quite minor pet peeves were that I ordered extra-crispy fries with one meal and was charged an extra 50 pesos or so. I have NEVER anywhere ever been given that surcharge and I always order fries that way. Also, they charged a mandatory 100 pesos for cover for a great band one night and then the tip jar went around with an expectation of extra. Assuming the band received the cover charge cash, the tip jar was overkill and they were paid well.

Overall a terrific place to hang out for dinner and drinks. Staff are nice and attentive. I definitely recommend. It’s a bit off the beaten path and I only found it through...

Attended a celebration of life and it was arranged perfectly for the guests seating and table arrangements. The music (all locals) was great, as always. The Tree House seems to have one of the best sound systems in town, huge advantage for all the music lovers that pass through here. It's never over crowded due to the large amount of space and table arrangements. It has no stairs so it is wheelchair accessible, but there is raw ( natural ground) gravel so it could present a slight challenge for anyone that may be unassisted and using a medical apparatus. I haven't had a poor experience there over 7 years and 2 locations. The food has been great, although I haven't eaten there more than a few times. I'll update this after my next visit when I order from the menu. I recommend for you to...

Update 2022. Two years later still a great place for dinner and music. Thursday night: Sweet & Spicy performed, burger and fries special for 195 pesos includes 2 beers at no charge. Very open air. Saturday night: Bay Root played. Great mix of music. Calamari was okay but the breading was a little soggy. Chicken Burger very good.

A night of wonderful music and humor with Amy Armstrong as our entertainment after a very good meal that included ribs and chicken, along with a roasted potato and beans. We had an excellent server and hats off to Alfredo and his team for providing a great entertainment/dining venue in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle. The chocolate cake was a large delicious choice for dessert....and check out the sinks outside the restrooms. You’ll...
