This is a nice authentic place to take people who visit. It's comfortable and welcoming. We ordered the Mexican plate that had a little of everything. You can order al lado or on the side. So next time I'll just order 3 enchiladas or sopas. My girlfriend liked the taco Dorado.

These are some of the best Mexican tamales that I have ever eaten. They are fluffy and the taste is amazing. It is totally worth the outing.

A friend took us to Cenaduria Tia Anita in Pitillal last night. We had the mini pozole rojo, which is a soup that has hominy as the main ingredient, to start. I had the costilla and picadillo tamales while my wife had the picadillo and pollo tamales. She also ordered the fresa and pina tamales for dessert which we shared. The service was very friendly. The menu is very small, and the food is simple, but outstanding. The atmosphere is very authentic Mexico. The price is very affordable. We paid with cash.

This restaurant is a little off the beaten path, but if you’re looking for authentic food outside the tourist zone, this is the spot for you. The posole is fresh and light, the tamales and tacos dorados are packed with flavor, and the jamaica was tart without being overly sweet. Everything was clean, the service was prompt, and the atmosphere is fun and relaxed. We will be back!

Wow! Let's start with the fact that I visit Vallarta almost yearly and I ate at many local spots. This place is very clean, the food is amazing and the service is great; true authentic Mexican food. Tamales, tostadas and pozole are excellent and the tacos dorados too. The place has a big outdoor patio that protects you from sun and rain while eating. I hear it gets crowded because of the limited hours of operation; expect to wait if you come during popular dining hours.
