Home - LA NEGRA

La Negra

La Negra is a tropical den on the Pacific coast of Mexico, designed for relaxed people who want to have a tasty casual meal and a good time in a very eclectic atmosphere. Founded in the oldest house of the neighborhood, under a huge tree, La Negra is frequently visited by families, retired people, couples, kids, tourist and local crowd; everyone part of this story since 2015.

About Us

La Negra started as a small alternative project, after we had closed (and not because we wanted) our firs business by the beach, in which we had invested all our energy. We were broken, yet full of ideas and motivation.

We were fascinated with the vibe of the town and the charm of the tree house. We moved to our new home with our oldest daughter and our loyal Great Dane (to whom we owe the name) and started again; people were incredibly supporting, we loved what we do and soon we were enough inspired to add a new member to the family. Our little baby came with a big wave of improvements to our life project and to the place, that little by little, have resulted into the rooftop, two bars, bathrooms and a kitchen worthy of our guests.

We have to thank all the good souls who have joined this madness during all these years, and of course to our team that makes us strong always able to learn, serve and share smiles. Thanks for enjoying with us!

What really matters...

Good Vibes Only

Keeping a cordial environment, based in respect, inclusion and harmony, among all the members of this family and our visitors is our priority. La Negra has become the second home of many, regardless their place of origin, sexual, political or religious preferences… For these reasons, we have a policy of ZERO TOLERANCE with sexual harassment, bad drinkers, or any disrespectful attitude in the place. Only good vibes are welcome.

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.

Local Products

As Mexicans, we try our raw materials exalt the quality and wealth of our country. Here you will mainly find a variety of products focused on supporting local and national commerce, avoiding big brands and mass productions.

Gastronomy

We started without preparation or any experience in the kitchen, but being of course foodlovers; our idea is to make good tasting simple things, always fresh, home made, and as if were making them for our friends and family.

Cocktails from the Earth

A half of what we are comes from the bar, full of fruit and natural juices, variety of herbs, spices, with our own homemade syrups and bitters; so when you come to visit us it’s worth it to avoid the common drinks and you choose a house cocktail.

Beer Soul

La Negra “Cervecería + Sabor” was conceived as the first place in the area to drink good beer; we were really lucky to try and share hundreds of Mexican and foreign beers, keeping during a long time a great variety of labels for our thirsty visitors to try.

Until now, most of the craft beer bottles in the country are not re-usable; and evoking our philosophy of reducing environmental impact with our waste, we have decided to drastically compact our beer offer. In La Negra, today you can find around 8 to 10 mexican craft beer options on tap only.

To share or not to share...

To share or not to Share

Our home-made potato wedges have earned the place of the “Beer Best Friend”. The Guacamole is a popular thing, but you can also choose our baked Panela, served with handmade tortillas, with mushrooms or rib eye. The fresh seafood is never left behind when choosing to serve at the center of the table.

Shrimp aguachile or tuna ceviche with cilantro and serrano pepper, over a pair of fried tacos.
Tuna Sashimi with cucumbers and wasabi sprouts
Soft octopus carpaccio, with cherry tomatoes and parsley.

In Tacos We Trust

Our tacos have shown they are a really good option at dinner time, because you can try one by one, like something to start with, or make them a whole meal.

Fresh 100% corn tortilla made at the moment (gluten free) is the key, with catch of the day, duck confit, octopus in red pepper sauce, tuna chunks, shrimp quesadilla or our famous “Taco Macho”, a jalapeño stuffed with shrimp, cheese and wrapped in bacon. Try also the popular ones among carnivores: pork belly & rib eye.

Woodfire Pizza

You can find pizza almost everywhere, that’s why we put extra effort on doing them special, now with sourdough and baked in wood fired oven. We use the most fresh and creative ingredients, you can find from prosciutto with arugula and fig, shrimp with cherry tomato and basil, to green apple with goat cheese and pecans.

Soups

· The Clam Chowder made with potato base (flour free), diced vegetables, bacon and clams. A parmesan crisp, fresh parsley and croutons accompany it.

· The red, hot and spicy “Fisherman’s Soup”, with shrimp and octopus, served with diced onion, cilantro and lime.

A Light Dinner

Salads don’t have to be boring, in La Negra we prepare them as you want, choosing a variety of fresh vegetables, seeds and fruits; you can also add soft shell crab, a tuna steak, grilled portobello or sauteed shrimp.

The Popular Ones: Burgers

We definitely owe our reputation to the burgers. Since the beginning we learned how to bake the proper bun and we care that each one have their own personality. They are always sided with potato wedges and chipotle & alioli dressings.

If you don’t want to go out of the classic, choose the beef “Royal Burger”, always made with the freshest home- grounded meat; but if you feel more adventurous, try our “Soft Shell Crab Sandwich” with tartar sauce. We also have the Lamb, Tuna Steak, Cheesy Shrimp, or Portobello for our vegetarian friends.

Life is too short to skip dessert...

New Anti-Tobacco Law

Last January 15 of 2023, Mexican Government introduced the new Anti-Tobacco Law, with which is intended to drastically reduce the consumption of cigarettes and other nicotine products in public spaces, and protect the general non smoking people, including child and teenagers. From now on, smoking is prohibited in places where people is congregated such as: offices, shopping centers, markets, public transport stops, hotels, stadiums, entertainment venues, parks, beaches and course, bars and restaurants. It is also prohibited for these last, to allocate a “smoking area” even for electronic cigarettes.

We know that this is a very radical transition, however we hope that the application of these measures will have a positive impact on the collective conscience, since cigarrette smoke and nicotine affect us all, both smokers and those who coexist with them. Thanks in advance for understanding that at La Negra facilities, we will enforce the law, so we ask for your full support when you visit us.
