Don Pedro's

Description:

• Many say it's Don Pedro's that has brought so much attention to Sayulita in recent years. Vallarta area visitors came for the food, then booked their next vacation in this funky town. Choose between a two-level indoor dining area or shaded tables on the beach for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Starters include crispy calamari, spring rolls, and fresh salads. Main courses include thin-crust pizza, fresh fish artfully prepared, and a changing selection of savory pasta and chicken dishes, such as chicken Provençal -- a whole chicken marinated in garlic and herbs, served with sautéed spinach, roasted tomatoes, and white beans. Grilled ahi tuna with mashed potatoes is also a favorite. In the bar area, TVs broadcast sporting events of any relevance, from college football to Mexican futból (soccer). I enjoy a relaxing lunch here, then stay for the beach action. Full bar service is also available.
