This place came highly recommended for those who are staying at Vidanta if you wantedbto get more for your money. The cost is less and you get larger portions. We went around 3pm. They have a large outdoor bearing area. We are indoors to take advantage of the AC. The indoor seating is a smaller space. The service was great, very friendly and the food was served fast. The coconut shrimp was very good especially with the dipping sauce they offer. I had the carne asada burrito and Tamara had their popular dish( I can't remember the name but see the pics). We really enjoyed our time here and highly recommend it.
Service was stellar. Wait staff were friendly and attentive. Food was delicious and good value. Portion size is bigger than expected and the large cocktails are basically a fish bowl. Drinks are excellent and good variety of the classics with a few of their own signature drinks. The atmosphere was casual and the premises were very clean. Would I go back? Absolutely, without a second thought.
Great little spot just off the beach, away from the resorts. We had a guy playing guitar. He was great. Best fajitas I've ever had.
Great food, tons of options and super friendly service. We started with coconut shrimp that came out so hot we could hardly eat them. I had the molcajete which was fantastic. My wife raved about her Mahi Mahi. We were so stuffed we could not even get desert. All of this for an amazing low price with live music. Please note, this is cash only!
Wow, this place was amazing. Located in Nuevo Nayarit. Although according to the staff, Eddie passed away a few years ago, this place continues to provide excellent food at a very reasonable price. Please try the margaritas they are huge when you order a large! Also the chips and dip they bring to the table, of the three the avocado cream sauce which looks like a green goddess dressing is unbelievable.
On a long walk from our rental condo...we happened upon this place. We ordered the mai Mai grilled tacos and a couple margaritas. WOW.. the tacos where so good along with the service and pricing is very very reasonable. A week later we had friends come down to visit us and the second night (Friday) we took them to Eddie's.. Once again we were not disappointed..there was also live music that night and the weather and background was perfect. We did not have a reservation but they fit us in..I would highly recommend this place and we will probably go again before we leave to go back home.
We came over from Vidanta to save about 2/3 of cost for a better experience. We didn't attempt the walk down the beach, but the taxi ride was only about 12 bucks each way. The food wasn't as good as we found in Malecon, but it is closer. Their Mexican coffee for after dinner was superb, and the whole restaurant stopped to watch the performance. Our server was Ricardo and he did a great job.
Chicken tacos were delicious so was the blackberry margarita!! Top notch food, service, location.
