Its TeriYaki Time in Rincon de Guayabitos

Rincon de Guayabitos is a small town on the Riviera Nayarit about fifteen minutes north of Lo de Marcos, or a half hour north of Sayulita on Hwy 200 in Mexico. Its a fun town with shopping, restaurants, and has an abundance of rentals for long term or for your Mexico vacation.

Behind the Oxxo and right next to the Fitness Pad, just down the walk from the main street is a fun restaurant called TeriYaki Time.  One of the nice things that I liked about this restaurant is that it has indoor and outdoor seating.
When I arrived the sun had just gone down, and the TeriYaki Time Restaurant offered  a lovely sunset view. TeriYaki Time offers breakfast, lunch and dinner, and has just reopened their doors as of last Sunday for the Winter season.

What’s for Dinner?

I was meeting friends for dinner, and was a few minutes early. This is a family owned and operated restaurant, like most businesses in Mexico, and it was fun to meet them. Mike and Wendy Kurtz, whom I had met earlier in the week, and Alex Cuevas with his son Jorge are the owners of TeriYaki Time, and Alex was the chef for this evening, with Jorge doing prep chef work and waiting tables.

My friends showed up and we all sat down and ordered something to drink. They have beer and wine, and a variety of juices and Thai iced tea, sodas and bottled water. We choose white wine and beer.

 

A Delicious Meal

We decided to order three different dinners off of the menu so we could all share and get to taste everything. It is always so much fun to share food! And, what a culinary delight it was! Everything was so delicious, and it had been quite a while since I had eaten any Asian food, living here in Mexico all summer, and I was hungry and ready for some soba pan fried noodles.  We ordered their signature entree Teriyaki with chicken, Yakisoba  with shrimp, which was my favorite, and the T.T. fried rice with tofu. which was firm and cooked to perfection.

Good Energy in the Kitchen

It was fun to watch Alex in the kitchen preparing the food and cooking at the stove. He is a very happy sort of fellow, with a big smile. I knew that a lot of good energy was being put into our food, which is important to me. Every meal created here is made fresh to order.  When Jorge brought out the food, it really looked great, and the aroma made my mouth water with anticipation. We ordered another round of drinks, and toasted to good friends and good food. All three dishes were exceptional, and the portions were large. You can see more photos in picture gallery to check out their menus, which are in English and Spanish. I like that, as I am still learning my Spanish!

With our appetites fully sated and our stomachs very full, we gave thanks for the great meal and wonderful hosts. TeriYaki Time is in the perfect location because it’s not right on the main street, so you do not have all of the noise or the car exhaust while eating, yet the walkway leads to the main street  where the fun shopping is, and that is what we decided to do after dinner. It was a very fun evening, and I will be dining at the TeriYaki restaurnat again soon.

 

So, if you are ready for something Asian and wonderful to eat, try this delightful restaurant in Rincon de Guayabitos on the Riviera Nayarit on your next Mexico vacation.

A Fun Lunch on the Riviera Nayarit in Sayulita Mexico

Beachfront Restaurant for Lunch

I had been working in Sayulita on the Riviera Nayarit in Mexico all morning, and called my girlfriend to see if she wanted to have some lunch. It was around 1:00 in the afternoon, and my girlfriend and I were both really hungry.There are a lot of good and different restaurants, and plenty of great taco places, however, I wanted to try somewhere that I had not eaten before. I was looking for some fresh seafood. I knew of the Captain Cook Restaurant, and that it was located right on the beach, and had wanted to try their food. I really love eating at beachfront restaurants.

Enjoying Seafood For Lunch

Captain Cook has a lot to choose from on their menu, specializing in Seafood like mussels in white wine sauce and every fish you can think of!  They have the usual Mexican cuisine of course, like tacos and burritos and cheviche, but they also have great appetizers like crab cheese puffs, stuffed Portabello mushrooms and spicy wings. A large variety of salads and  mention yummy looking burgers as I saw one the other day when discovering the restaurant.

I decided on the Red Snapper, which you can order a variety of sizes and weight, which are in kilos. It’s fun because it comes on a large platter that you can share with friends. I also ordered a mixed seafood cocktail, which had octopus, shrimp and scallops. My friend ordered the coconut shrimp. We both had yummy lemonade. It was still a little early for us to be drinking, especially on a work day, however they have a full bar with a happy bartender, and a good menu of drinks.

A nice thing about the menu at Captain Cook Restaurant is that it is written in English and Spanish! So, if you speak English, and are a bit rusty on your Spanish, its a wonderful thing! Click on a picture to go to the Riviera Nayarit Picture Gallery.

We ordered lunch, and while we sipped on our lemonades our server brought us some chips, crackers for the seafood cocktail and salsa. They wait staff was very friendly, and spoke good English as well. They were professional and polite.

Our food arrived in an appropriate amount of time, and it looked delicious! The Red Snapper looked cooked to perfection,and my friends shrimp were big and plump. They both came with salad and my Red Snapper came with rice as well.The waiter also brought out some fresh tortillas.

It was fun sitting out on the beach under an umbrella watching the surfers. They also have plenty of room inside the restaurant with nice wooden tables and chairs that look out over the beach and ocean.
I tried my friends coconut shrimp, which happens to be one of my favorite way to eat shrimp, and it was delicious and not over cooked, and the oil tasted clean and fresh.
We took our time eating and chatting. It was a delightful lunch filled with yummy seafood flavor, and I ate every last bite.  We left happy with our stomachs full.

Whether you are on your Mexico vacation, or if you live in the neighborhood, come enjoy the beachfront restaurant Captain Cook and enjoy some lunch or dinner with a seafood flair on the Riviera Nayarit in Sayulita Mexico.
