About Us

We arrived to Bucerias in 2013, in love and full of hope, with the dream of living by the beach. We embarked on this adventure with a place called “Proud Beach Project” where we learned from scratch everything that service involved; cooking, bar tending, and also the less fun part, to deal with bureaucratic procedures… It was a great experience, however, things didn’t flow in our favor and we had to close after just over a year.

With the intention of continuing with our “Beach Club” we looked for beachfront locations for a couple of months, with no success. So we had to contemplate another option with the aim of finding a house where we could live, and at the same time, to put a small craft beer restaurant in our garage (while we found our dreams location).

Scouting the entire town on this mission, one hot afternoon in the spring of 2015, we were attracted by a beautiful shade of a tree and its street covered in leaves, so we approached closer to observe it. This tree belonged to a lovely little house, with a garage covered with an old palapa, and hidden in a corner of the blacksmith’s window, a small handmade sign with almost illegible ink was waiting for us: “For Rent” and a contact telephone number… Never we imagined what life had prepared for us!

We restore the house with the basics and moved into what would be our home for the next few months. We named it “La Negra” in honor to our Great Dane, the beach club pet who also lived here with us, along with our eldest daughter and the gray cat “Mara” (who until few years ago, was still asking for sashimi at the tables). This is how it all began, tight but with great faith in moving forward while Serena cooked and Hector was preparing the drinks.

We fell completely in love with our new life project and were soon inspired to add another member to the family. In this new period we received so much love from our visitors, always recommending us, that little by little, we were able to build a more efficient and welcoming place for them.

All learning have always come hand in hand with the team of incredible people who have been part of the family. We are infinitely grateful to the souls who have supported us during this journey for almost 10 years.

What really matters...

Made with Love

We invite you to enjoy a tasty casual dinner, free of protocols and pretensions… At La Negra, each meal is prepared taking the maximum care of the freshness, as well as the quality of the ingredientes, most of them from local businesses & producers. We make each process as homemade as possible; with the purpose of providing you with food that truly nourish your body and soul.

Music for the Soul

Music brought us here and put us together as a family; that’s how important music is at La Negra. We choose carefully special world music sounds that our visitors can enjoy and remember. There will always be someone in charge of the music, to play some nice tunes that feed the soul and from time to time, motivate a good dance. Listen some sessions of our guest and favorite playlist in our SoundCloud:

To Start...

At La Negra we like to share, so we recommend ordering at the center to try different things, between fresh and hot options, we suggest some of our favorites:

Big Boss Ceviche: Fresh tuna with ponzu sauce, on a pair of potato fried tacos made at the moment.
Octopus Carpaccio: Soft and marinated, with a mix of green leaves.
Catch of the day Tiradito: Fresh white fish, our version of tiger’s milk with caribbean pepper, and other secrets.
Baked Panela: natural, with garlic mushrooms or rib eye, handmade corn tortillas and 3 different sauces to make tacos.
Grilled Vegetables: variable combination of wood-fired vegetables with a base of hummus and a flat-bread.

Craft-Burgers

We bake the buns, we grind the meat and make all the sides from scratch: potato wedges, pickles, ketchup and our aioli.

Every burger has their own personality, we make them with beef, tuna, soft shell crab, lamb, portobello and shrimp, making it difficult to choose.

In Tacos We Trust

The best thing about our tacos is that we made our 100% corn tortillas at the moment, with the idea to never get bored of them we have 9 different options, for the carnivores, pescetarians and vegetarians. Everyone has their favorites, including octopus, fish pastor, rib eye, duck confit and mushrooms, but the more popular ones are:

Taco Macho: Jalapeno pepper stuffed with shrimp and cheese, wrapped in bacon.
Pork Belly confit.

Sourdough Pizza

We make them with sourdough and bake them in a traditional Italian oven, thin but still with comforting texture. Always made with fresh ingredients, the favorites are:

Mediterranen: spanish ham, goat cheese, fig, arugula and balsamic
Capriccio: Pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms, black olives and onions.
Bianca: Basil pesto, green apple, goat cheese and pecans.

From Our Bar

#cocktailsfromtheearth

Our bar uses 100% natural fresh squeezed juices, home-made syrups, and artisanal distillates for our cocktails, which have been evolving trying to adapt to the current techniques, but always respecting the ancestral knowledge.

We focus on offering beverages that keep you hydrated and facilitate digestion; such as kombucha, ginger beer, infusions and of course craft beer; avoiding soft drinks and products with chemicals & preservatives as much as possible. We have also developed a non-alcoholic cocktail menu for the whole family to enjoy.

The house’s recommendation are Mexican wines and spirits, you will find mezcal, raicilla, gin, vodka and even whiskey from national producers, rich in aromas, textures and flavors. And to accompany your dessert, you can order a coffee, roasted in Bucerias and freshly grounded for your espresso, cortado, cappuccino or latte.
