Where to Eat in San Pancho: Lunch
Lunch can be a quick bite between activities, or a leisurely indulgence possibly followed by a siesta. No matter your choice, you’ll enjoy a delicious meal prepared with fresh ingredients, a very modest tab, and welcoming owners and waiters (many speak English).
Visit TripAdvisor and search “San Pancho Nayarit Mexico restaurants” for reviews, plus ask around. Below are local favorites for lunch.
Note that smaller restaurants and cafes are cash-only (in pesos). Larger restaurants accept credit cards. Dress code is shorts, tees and flip-flops.
Keep in mind restaurants come and go, relocate and close for renovations. Here’s a sampling of your lunch options, but go ahead and explore!
After lunch, explore the shops, stroll the beach or return home for a siesta in the hammock
