La Pescadora by The Blue Shrimp, México en Bahía de Banderas

Went here twice for lunch and ordered poke bowls and ceviche. Some of the freshest fish we've ever had! The service was excellent and we were treated well. Also, they charged us the correct amount for our meals. Sadly this needs to be mentioned because many restaurants in the area will overcharge you. If we ever go back to Mexico, this is probably the only restaurant we'll dine at.

3rd favourite meal of this trip. Costs what you would pay on a date night at home but the food is better.

Came in here fully loaded after watching the sunset over at the St. Regis. We were gonna eat there, but it would have left our pockets on life support... although this simply is a "I need to raise my income" problem, so that's on me. The 5 of us stumbled into La Pescadora with no reservation on a Saturday night and waited 10 minutes at the bar before we were seated about 20 feet from the water, feet in the sand. They have sort of flood lights pointed to the edge of the water so you can see the tide move up and down which is an amazing touch tbh. These small details really do take an experience from good to great. I'm beginning to see that more and more... Upon being seated, I remembered that this is the place that serves the piña colada that has been touched by the hand of god himself. Legit the best piña I've ever had. Better than anywhere in Puerto Rico which is the birthplace of the piña. But to be fair, it's a lot of factors that add to my sense of taste: the ambiance is perfect, glassware is ELITE, they pour extra rum on top of your piña right in front of you, my feet are literally in the sand with small waves breaking 20 feet from me, etc. BUT IT ALSO IS JUST A BOMB PINA SO GET OFF MY HEAD! I looked up how to say "heavy pour" in Spanish and began chanting "VERTER PESADO! VERTER PESADO!" as he was about to pour the rum and boy did our server oblige. It was a verter pesado fr. We ordered guac to start and this is one of those places where they make it right in front of you, which was another amazing detail. Good to great. At this point a mariachi band came around and took song requests. The piña began to take the wheel so I'm blanking on the songs but they were eatin it up. Thank god we had cash to tip, that coulda been real ugly lol. I ordered the catch of the day because I am a beast, and it legit tasted like it had been caught earlier in the day... I mean kind of a dumb comment from me lol it's literally called catch of the day, but nonetheless it was delicious and I demolished it like it owed me money. My nickname in high school was actually "Demolition Man." I allegedly ate half of my girlfriend's burger and loved it, but at this point I think the piña really had full control of the wheel as I have no recollection of that. One of dem ones.... La Pescadora and La Rustica are now my 1a/1b favorite restaurants on that strip of beach in Punta Mita. ¡LA PESCADORA, SE LEVANTA! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

An amazing experience! We came in for lunch had the ceviche, catch of the day and margaritas and it was all so incredible. We were treated with a complimentary ceviche at the beginning of service and complimentary tamarind ice cream at the end. Can’t say enough about our server, Felix. He was so thoughtful, kind and attentive. 5 stars all around.

This was recommended to us and it was spot on authentic local fish vibes. Location was beach front, great catch of the day specialities and all of the seasoning was very tasty. The table side guacamole and the tortillas are very fresh. It was a really nice lunch, a bit pricy for a local spot with small portions but the taste and location was worth it.
