We were so stoked to come across this spot. We usually either do street tacos or fancy restaurants depending on the appetite we’ve built up over a solid surf day, and this spot was everything we needed - great food, totally reasonable prices, amazing service & even lots of live music in the streets to look upon as we dined. 2 for 1 margaritas along with some of the best food we’ve had in Mexico so far = one happy couple

Excellent experience at María Bonita. Roció's attention was THE BEST, she helped us a lot with dishes for my 3-year-old child and all the food we ordered was delicious. My favorite was the butter salmon. Thanks to all the staff for their kindness and good treatment. I recommend it 100%.

Incredible place, the food is incredible, very delicious, the zarandeado I ate really couldn't be found anywhere. We arrived in San Pancho looking for the best zarandeado and just when we crossed the street we saw the grill and my husband and I approached and saw that there was fish on the grill, the charcoal doing its thing... it seemed like a dream. We ordered the zarandeado for 2 people, accompanied by rice that is delicious, I am transported to my grandmother's food. Incredible journey that your food took me on. Don't leave San Pancho without going to María Bonita.

We had the best meal of our entire holiday here! The tuna mango ceviche is so fresh and just the right amount of spicy. We also shared the grilled hangar steak which was so tender. It came with grilled onion and jalapeño, rice and beans. The staff is wonderful and made a fab recommendation that we try the daily flavoured water which comes in a large carafe for two. It was cucumber, mint and lime which was perfect on a hot day! Honestly, don’t miss this place.

The place looked very nice and the menu caught our attention, but the food exceeded our expectations. You cannot miss the “Frida taquitos” and the zarandeado fish is a “must” of the restaurant (in addition to being a typical dish of the area). More than recommended for its excellent service, they let us try the wine because we didn't know which one to order. In short, don't miss this stop on your visit to San Pancho if you like seafood and want a romantic evening.

The shrimp pasta excellent. Tuna was strong smell well done and deep grey brown. Waiter concerned and called manager who declared it was fresh. Don't order special of the day, the asparagus sauce seemed to be hiding a dark truth. I have heard not to order specials as chef clearing out older fish. I think true in this case. I gave it to one of dogs wandering street and made a friend Sides were good

What an experience! After a day of surfing, Christian took us on a journey of culinary delight! The ceviche is literally to die for. The attention to detail and flavour that Maria brings yo your table will leave you wanting more. I just wish I had a second stomach. We were lucky enough to have a quiet, romantic street side table with live sax not 20 feet away. Will be back!! Do not skip this wonderful resto and experience.

We went here two nights ago on our last night in San Pancho. We waited an hour and 45 minutes for our entrees....although after an hour our appetizer did finally come out. The initial drink order took forty minutes to fulfill. When my wife and daughter’s steak came out it turned out that we had never been given a place setting so we waited another five minutes to get the waiter to notice us and bring a knife. The food was okay, not amazing; certainly not as good as some other restaurants in San Pancho. The waiter wasn’t apologetic, but the manager came over to try to assuage us. He wasn’t very convincing and I was surprised that he didn’t offer to comp one of our rounds of drinks. Overall this was some of the worst service I’ve seen at a restaurant and there’s no reason to go to Maria Bonita when you could enjoy yourself much better at La Ola Rica or Maria’s or Barracuda.

The atmosphere is 100! The selection is great for food and drink. The staff upsell everything and then add more than you asked for and expect you to pay even when you didn’t request items in drinks or dessert. It was good quality food and drink but in contrast to other restaurants in Sayulita that charge less and give you exactly what you want and and blow you away with the menu I would say this restaurant and bar was not our favorite.

After eating at most of the restaurants over the last 6 months as we were building our house here, we overlooked this amazing place. How could we???? I know but tonight we made up for it. The service was absolutely amazing. Our waiter could not have been better. The food is prepared fresh, extremely tasty, and very different than most of the smaller restaurants. From the lime soaked red peppers on our appetizer, to the incredible blend of flavors in our entrees, and finally the not so overly sweet dessert the meal was fabulous. We wish we could have met the chef and complimented him/her on such a great job. With wine, and the meal the final bill for two was less than $70 US. We will go here again and add it to the "must go to places" in our rental log for our guests.

Zarandeado—a regional seafood preparation—I hadn’t heard of it either but a local surfer said to check it out, and this is the only place in San Pancho I found it. It came as Mahi Mahi kinda butterflied basted with garlic butter and a red chile sauce I think and grilled over wood fire. Freaking awesome. The meat around the spine was extra-rico, just pick it up and eat it with your hands, it was like some crazy pork rib made of hamachi collar.

Great service, great food! Everyone who was working was attentive to all of the tables in the restaurant. We walked in knowing we wanted seafood, but totally unsure of what we wanted, A man who seemed like the GM, came over to the table and asked if we could give us some recommendations, We told him we loved seafood and he recommend the Michin Sashimi. My husband normally doesn't like sweet things and he was hesitant since it listed passion fruit and hibiscus syrup. I can honestly say that it was some of the best sashimi I have ever had. (We live in San Diego, a very prominent seafood town). My husband also absolutely loved it. The balance of flavor was perfect. Our overall dining experience was wonderful and we highly recommend this place!

Maria Bonita Restaurant and the team are great. I've had there the best fish I've never had in my life, cooked on the grill. I've ate there several time because of the nice vibe, and the price is really correct for the great food quality, especially compared to some restaurants close to it that are so much more expensive for same to worse quality. I would recommend to couple or family to have a good time and good mexican food. You need to try the Burger, really nice and original, and the molcarete (Guacamole) and the Parillada for 2 or 4 (really nice meat)
