We are staying at the Mayan and overheard some people talk about what a great dinner they had lastnight at Titis restaurant so we asked a Taxi to take us there he knew exactly where it was! At first sight its not all great but they have people who will great you as you get off the car as we walked inside we heard the Mariachis Playing, we were accomodated in a table for 6 we where 5 we ordered coronas and margaritas!! We ordered camarones ala cucaracha, breaded and meriquetengue shrimp tostadas and ceviche we also had the mariachi play for us right infront of us service was awesome food was amazing and all for under $50 usd including the mariachi :D

We go to Titi's a lot and while the surroundings are a little challenging to many tourists, this a real Mexican town with real working folk. The food here is mariscos/seafood based but you can ask for other meals and they will happily accommodate you. The thing is, Titi's is a family restaurant, they are lovely to kids, the place is always full of happy people enjoying their meals and workers popping in for a quick bite. The tosatadas and ceviche are generous sizes and the tacos made on freshly cooked tortillas (as are all the eateries in Jarretaderas). The town has recently embraced a new environmental spirit, there is civic pride and a desire to show tourists how a real community lives (surrounded by resorts but not a part of it). My recommendation is that if you are staying at the Mayan, Titi's is a terrific lunch spot with enormous value for money. You also can rest assured that the owners are health conscious and very clean and you won't get Montezuma's curse here! It could be prettier (it is like eating in someone's backyard) but perhaps one day it will be. There is a children's playground (the owners') and kids are welcome to use it. Oh, they have oysters and while these are local and nowhere near Sydney Rock or Tassie ones, they are clean and flavoursome.

We heard about this place through a recommendation. It's pretty close to the resort area in Nuevo. It doesn't seem like much from the front, but don't be afraid to go in. They have mostly seafood options, and because I don't like seafood I had carne asada. The carne asada wasn't that great, but everyone who had seafood really loved their dishes.

Came here for a lunch off the resort, very non-touristy feel, filled with locals (we were the only white people in the joint for the first hour or so). We had the ceviche pescado (delicious) and the machaca tacos which were very tender and almost buttery in texture. As an afterthought we also ordered a small order of oysters served with a "mexican sauce" which came almost like gazpacho in a glass. The oysters were very fresh and very tasty. All that plus 5 beers and a couple of shots of tequila came out to 40 bucks USD. Well worth checking out!
