“Delicious food, good service.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 16, 2012

We stay within walking distance of this restaurant when we're in Nuevo Vallarta and have been several times. There are several restaurants in this little mall, all with attractive settings and outdoor seating. We've tried most and Santa Marea is by far the best. Everything we've tried on the menu has been very good and prices are reasonable. Like a number of other reviewers, we find Juan Valdez' service to be excellent.

This taco bar is not your basic taco bar, they have an amazing selection; the fish is fresh., the presentation is veery nice. It has a modern ambience The prices are reasonable, try the cucumber margarita..its delicious.
The serving staff is friendly , the location is in a new complex called 3.14 with a variety of other restaurants also worth trying. Its nice to have some new choices in Nuevo Vallarta

“The best taco's in Mexico”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2012

Went there for lunch and loved food. The setting is lovely and spotless and the waiters
are attentive and friendly. Juan Valdez, the manager makes everyone feel like
family. Went there twice more for dinner before leaving for home and each time it was great.

“Great taco joint”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 10, 2012

My husband and I recently visited Nuevo Vallarta and we tried this place one night based on the reviews on trip advisor. We were not disappointed. Food and service were excellent. In particular the flavoured tortillas were a hit with us. We also loved (!!!) the bacon wrapped jalapeno appetiser – really different and while spicy, they were so good! We were invited to go to their one year anniversary party and, rather than trying another restaurant we decided to return (OK the free food and booze might have been a bit of a draw.) Again, we were not disappointed with the food and the service was phenomenal. They had imported lots of help and we were never wanting for anything. Lucky for us, the bacon wrapped jalapenos were the first thing served. The restaurant is in a fairly new area of Nuevo and I think they might be struggling a bit since they are a bit off the beaten track and you have to make a conscious decision to go – but do so, it really in worth it. Enjoy!
