SAYULITA'S HIPSTER WAVE

Neighbouring town Sayulita is more international than Mexican, with trendy restaurants and boutiques, but you can't go wrong with a chilled cerveza and a Mexican pizza overlooking the sea. However, if you're seeking street food, explore away from the beach to find places like Pedrito's and Naty's Cocina. You can also ask a local expat who's been there a while. Leyla, Chicago-bred manager of Debbie de la Cueva jewellery boutique, was eager to share her favourite ultra-affordable eateries outside the zona turistica.
