Restaurant was recommended for good fish by a friend. We weren't interested in having fish but went to it anyway because I wanted a vegetarian chili relleno which they have. When we arrived I asked a server for a table for two and said sit...anywhere. There was only one small table available but no chairs at it so we had to take the only other available table which seats 6. The same server came and rudely scolded us for choosing a table for 6. He said sit anywhere and it was the only table! My husband had the tortilla soup with some sushi which he enjoyed. Unfortunately when I received the vegetarian chili relleno the rice and vegetables were cold and the relleno was terrible. I'm not a picky eater but didn't like the taste at all. It didn't seem like it was made from scratch. The chili had a luke warm batter and was stuffed with spinach and mushrooms. There was no cheese and no sauce except some mayo squirted on top. It was weird. I couldn't eat any of it . When our server noticed I hadn't touched it he gave me a thumbs up as a question. I told him the sides were cold and the relleno didn't taste good. He didn't know what to say so said nothing. I asked to order something else and he brought the menu. I ordered the veggie tower appetizer and enjoyed it. When we got the bill the relleno was on it and the tower wasn't. Terrible service to charge for the more expensive item that I couldn't eat. We paid the bill anyway as I didn't want to complain more. Also didn't think they would deal with it appropriately. The dinner rush had ended and the servers were more interested in socializing with each other than serving customers. We had minimal and delayed service the entire time.More

Tierra Viva was easily one of our most memorable restaurants in Sayulita. From the top-notch serving staff who were attentive, courteous, and efficient to the incredibly tasty food and drink they served, Tierra Viva was one of the highlights of our trip to Sayulita.

Nice restaurant with great food. Menu isn't huge but the seafood dishes are very good, we especially enjoyed the three different shrimp(prawn) dishes which were very well done. We ate here twice during our trip.
