Found this new spot with friends who live in Bucerias. Beautiful spot to watch the activities on the beach. A wedding was in process and you could see it was a wonderful spot for the event. We had just a lite lunch with fish tacos which were excellent. I'm usually prefer flour tortillas but they used corn tortillas which were... More

We have been going to Karen's since she opened. Food and staff are exceptional. This is a don't miss Bucerias experience for breakfast, lunch or a romantic dinner.

After spending time at an AI we decided to venture off the resort for a dinner out. We had been out for a walk and made reservations for the next night, we asked about Visa and were told they take it for dinner. Karen's Place is about a ten minute walk from the RDC. We were greeted by Karen herself... More

We had traditionsl eggs Benny which was so delicious along with their side potatoes and Heinz ketchup... More

The food was good, the views were nice, but the service was lousy and the chairs were difficult to sit on. High prices for what you get!

We have tried twice previously to go for "Happy Hour" at Karen's Place. Despite the signs everywhere that it's open to the public and "Everyone Welcome," that has not been our experience. On two separate occasions we could not get served at the bar. The bartenders would serve everyone else (all seemed regulars and many staying at the adjoining condo... More

Karen runs a top notch little restaurant right on the white sandy beach of Bucerias - and she runs it very efficiently! The brunch menu is traditional and well prepared and the drinks are great and continuous. Also a great place for Sundowners - one of the few places where you can see the sunset all winter.

Karen's Place is a delightful restaurant on the water in Bucerias. Beautiful surroundings when you enter the grounds. Has a lovely pool and bar area, with poolside service if you want. The restaurant is on the beach so one can eat on the deck or inside the restaurant with view of the bay. Food is a combination of mexican dishes,... More
