Unless you have either been to Bucerias before and gotten a recommendation, or been paying particular attention as you walk down Lazaro Cardenas Blvd, you’d probably never even know Sweet Things Bakery existed. And that would be a shame. The title of this post was going to be: Sweet Things Bakery/Cafe/Restaurant/Awesome. Walking down Lazaro Cardenas, towards Bucerias Town Square if you’re coming from the South, you might chance across a colorful sign, of a lady in a chef’s hat, holding some baking; a sign to Sweet Things gourmet bakery. If you don’t see the sign you’ll miss it. It’s right [...]

Depending on your preference, Adriano’s is either the outlandish and ostentatious, or the delightfully colorful, character filled orange building on the beach at the North edge of Bucerias’ town square. Cutting straight to the point on this one, if you’re looking for a place for lunch or dinner in Bucerias, Adriano’s has it’s good and it’s bad. The restaurant is certainly visually stimulating. It’s bright orange interior and plethora of decorations lining the walls, from plates to sombreros to Mexican artwork makes it an entertaining atmosphere from which to enjoy your meal, and certainly a unique experience. As you wait [...]

If you’re thinking of coming to Puerto Vallarta and in particular Bucerias for an extended stay or to retire and live permanently, the estate called Terralta is one you should certainly consider.

It’s an [...]

The restaurants along the beachfront at Avenida del Pacifico in Bucerias have a lot in common. They’ve all got great views, they’ve all got open air settings, they’re all pretty touristy. That said, I can think of at least 3 reasons why El Brujo restaurant, the second last on the strip before the avenue ends is one you’ll want to check out… and one that once you do… you’ll find yourself coming back. We were told to check out El Brujo by a lady that lives near us. She’s a local, and a real Mexican, which made the recommendation seem [...]

I am an unashamed sweet tooth. Without going into too much detail, suffice it to say that if I’m in a new country and I see a sign that says “(that country’s) Finest Traditional Sweets”, I’m pretty much there like a bear. That’s the sign I saw, colorfully designed in aqua green and purple, strolling down Lazaro Cardenas blvd in centro Bucerias, marking the entrance to Dulce Galeria. Truth be told I wasn’t that excited at first after having left a couple of stores making similar claims in downtown Vallarta being rather disappointed at their lack of any uniqueness or [...]
