The town where we stayed this past week is called Punta Mita, and it is about one hour west of Puerto Vallarta, on the west coast of Mexico. It's a tiny little "point" on the Bay of Flags and has quite a little scene going on.
There is a street packed with restaurants and surf shops, along with a few hotels and a small military base.
we stayed at hotel des artistes
If you go to the end of the commercial strip and make a left turn up a seemingly empty hill, you will come across Café Como No where you can grab a delicious bit to eat owned by a couple of friendly ex-pats at a very friendly price. The courtyard in the back was quiet and rustically decorated; we would have loved to sit there, but it was raining when we went. Apparently, however, the deck upstairs is the place to be.
We started with a simple yet incredibly tasty order of guacamole and chips. T got a yummy hamburger while I munched on a burrito con pollo and Indy enjoyed a large plate of fries :) The quesadillas and tacos were also very good. Everything was simple, fresh, filling, and inexpensive. It was a welcome break from the white tablecloth joints along the beach. Their limonada was also delicious and refreshing, served in a big glass goblet.
As we walked back to the hotel, the skies cleared up for a beautiful pink and purple sunset. Next time we're in the Punta Mita area, we'll be sure to come back to Café Como No - more than once!
