Traditional Foods You'll Find Here

Guayabitos is known for fresh seafood and authentic regional Mexican cuisine. Here's what to order at local restaurants.

Seafood

Pescado Zarandeado

The signature dish of the region. Whole red snapper butterflied, marinated in spicy Huichol sauce, and grilled over mesquite coals while constantly turning. Served with rice, tortillas, and salsa. This is what Guayabitos is famous for.

Ceviche

Fresh raw fish, octopus, or shrimp 'cooked' in lime juice with chopped onion, cilantro, tomato, and chili peppers. Served on crispy tostadas with hot sauce. Best enjoyed beachside with a cold beer.

Aguachile

Raw shrimp marinated in lime juice, chilies, cucumber, and onion. Similar to ceviche but spicier and with a thinner, more liquid consistency. Refreshing and bold, perfect for hot days.

Tacos

Tacos al Pastor

Marinated pork slow-cooked on a vertical spit (Lebanese-influenced technique), served with pineapple, onion, cilantro, and lime. Usually available after 6 PM when the meat has been cooking all day. One of Mexico's most beloved street foods.

Fish Tacos

Battered and fried fish (often dorado or snapper) in a soft corn tortilla with cabbage, pico de gallo, and crema. Simple, fresh, and perfect for lunch after a morning at the beach.

Tacos de Birria

Slow-cooked beef (sometimes goat) stewed in a rich, spicy broth with herbs and chilies. The meat is shredded and served in tortillas, often with the broth (consomé) on the side for dipping. A popular breakfast choice.

Breakfast

Chilaquiles

Crispy tortilla chips tossed in red or green salsa, topped with cheese, crema, onion, and your choice of eggs or meat. The ultimate Mexican breakfast, served everywhere from beach shacks to nice restaurants.

Soups

Pozole de Camarón

A regional twist on traditional pozole, this hearty soup combines hominy corn with shrimp, dried chilies, and spices. Garnished with lettuce, radishes, onion, and lime. Comforting and flavorful.

Street Food

Tamales

Steamed corn masa filled with meat, cheese, or chilies, wrapped in corn husks or banana leaves. Often sold by street vendors in the morning. Try the red pork or green chicken versions.

Basics

Quesadillas

Flour or corn tortilla filled with melted cheese and optionally meat, beans, or vegetables, then grilled until crispy. Simple, satisfying, and available everywhere. Great for kids.

Mains

Enchiladas

Rolled tortillas filled with chicken or cheese, covered in red or green sauce, topped with crema and cheese. Comfort food that's hearty and delicious.

Sides

Guacamole

Fresh avocado mashed with lime, cilantro, onion, tomato, and chili. Usually served as a starter with warm tortillas or chips. The quality depends entirely on the ripeness of the avocados, best in summer.

Drinks

Micheladas

Cold beer mixed with lime juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire, and spices, served in a salt-rimmed glass. In Guayabitos, often garnished with shrimp, cucumber, and carrots. The perfect beach drink.

Horchata

Sweet rice-based drink flavored with cinnamon and vanilla. Served ice-cold and incredibly refreshing in the heat. Non-alcoholic and kid-friendly.

Dessert

Tres Leches

Sponge cake soaked in three types of milk (evaporated, condensed, and heavy cream), topped with whipped cream. Rich, sweet, and one of Mexico's most beloved desserts.

Insider Tip

Most restaurants in Guayabitos are cash-only and prices are very reasonable. Expect to pay $3-5 USD for street tacos, $10-18 USD for a full meal at a casual restaurant, and $25-40 USD for upscale beachfront dining with drinks. The freshest seafood is caught daily, so ask your server what came in that morning.
