El Brujo

Went for dinner last night and couldn’t have been more impressed. There’s a variety of seating options. Indoors, outdoor on a balcony overlooking the ocean or directly on the beach.
Our server was Daniel. He claimed it was his first day, however, you’d never guess. He was friendly and efficient, in tune with our needs without being intrusive. Top notch.
With the great ocean view and excellent service,
I’d have been willing to let the food slide a bit…
But wow! I was with a group of 5. Everyone’s meal looked incredible. My choice was the shrimp and octopus. The shrimp were perfectly cooked. Octopus can be difficult to get right and they nailed it. Even the side dishes of rice and salad were far beyond bland and exceeded my expectations.
The price, based off a comparable meal in the USA, is more than fair.
If you’re in the area and have time for one meal, go here. The food, view and service make this a must try!

This place was amazing. We are on vacation with our 2 year old daughter and my in-​laws, the service was amazing and the food was even better. There is a huge play area for kids that is away from the other diners and our daughter, played and had fun the entire night. I will be back!

SO GOOD! great service, beautiful view, and delicious food! i had some sort of fish dish that was really excellent. my mom had the garlic big shrimp which was to die for. my dad had some sort of shrimp dish cooked in a foil packet — he devoured it! overall we all loved our meals, and would definitely recommend this place for delicious seafood!!! my only complaint was that it is a little hot, i wish they had fans for their customers.

Cute place, super nice proprietor awesome food, great prices… what’s more to like? I had the drunken steak, so good, large portion, melts in your mouth. My friend had the shrimp wrap appetizer and guacamole, both great too. Definitely a must visit if in Bucierias.

Excellent food

Beautiful outdoor ambience on the beach with a head on view of the ocean and wonderful breezes. Excellent fajitas; particularly the Azteca Molcajete version served in a volcanic pot with a wonderful sauce and mixed grill of chicken, beef and shrimp. Strong margaritas; one will make your head spin! Great, friendly service by Luis!

SOlid beach front lunch experience…
Sat right on the sand… Service was fine. Location good to go.
Ordered some chicken fajitas. Came out on a sizzling platter with rice, guacamole, chips and salsa.
I think it was $ 13 with a soda.
I would go back.

This place is fantastic! Best food and service we’ve had all week. I recommend anything with shrimp. Luis was a great server. The ocean and sunset view wasn’t bad either

Friendly service. Situated right on the ocean front. Rustic Mexican Restraunt. Fajitas were very good as were the margaritas. We go here regularity when in bucerias.

It was about a 45 min walk from the Villa Del Palmar Flamingos but totally worth it! Great food and service. Lots of options and the price is very reasonable. Jesus took great care of us and provided us with a taxi back to our hotel.

Oooommmmgggg. Everyone greeted us welcomed us. And by the way my stuffed fish over pasta was out-frickin-standing…u must go here… a little bit of heaven.

muy buen restaurante y deliciosa la comida, cuenta con una terraza pegada al amor y si quieren entrar al mar tiene mesas bajo la terraza muy cómodo si llevan niños.
pedi filete de pescado relleno y estuvo muy basto y bueno, mis hijos pidieron camarones al coco y muy bien preparados también. se esmeran en atención, incluso estuvieron dispuestos a colocarnos una hamaca porque mi hijo tenia sueño y mientras comíamos ahi se quedo dormido. muy bien atendido por su propietario Fernando. la comida bien presentada, frescos los platillos y la atención de primera un lugar para regresar mas seguido.

A really good, reasonably priced, Mexican restaurant overlooking the beach in Bucerias. The same great food as at El Brujo, Puerto Vallarta, but the view and atmosphere is so much better here. Bring your bathing suit and beach towel and enjoy a swim between courses. The shrimp and fish dishes are particularly good, especially in this setting. This is a great spot for a relaxing afternoon, or a romantic dinner.

We had the red snapper and fajitas which were both awesome! Great service, friendly staff and magnificent view of the bay!

Went out for a family dinner and decided that we would eat at El Brujo. This was easily the best dinning experience we had this trip! The food was fantastic and the whole staff was personal and very kind. The Mahi Mahi is garlic butter sauce was to die for!
Outside of the food one of the best reasons to come here with your family if you have little children is that they actually have a mini day care in the restaurant and a young lady was there who stayed with the kids and played while we enjoyed our meal! We had our 9 month old daughter and our 6 year old niece with us and they both were well looked after!
Great place!

One of the better restaurants in Bucerias. I make sure to go there at least once when I’m down there which is several times a year.

On a recent vacation in early March, this was the best of Bucerias’s beachside restaurants, in our family’s humble opinion. The food was amazing– tasty, authentic food highlighting the regional cuisine with excellent margaritas to boot! Though it is not economical (i think we paid between $ 35-​$ 50 total each for the 2 lunches we ate here, but that included an alcoholic beverage or two each plus juice for the LO), it was totally worth it to us because eating under a palapa on the sand meant our little girl (who is not exactly restaurant trained) was totally entertained for 1.5+ hour lunches! Everything we tried was delicious, and service was typical of the Mexican hospitality. Our first time was for lunch on a Sunday, and while the other beachside restaurants were clearly chock-​full of gringo types, El Brujo was full of Mexican families driven in from the cities enjoying their day of rest en famillia with big al fresco lunches and swims. It was a great sign to us that we were in the right place, after all the locals know where the best stuff is ;)
I understand this is the second or third location of a (small) chain that started in PV– whatever they are doing, hopefully they keep it up as our family look forward to an annual tradition of vacationing in Bucerias and dining at EB!
