El Navegante

The best dining in the small East Cape community of Buenavista is found at El Navegante, a beachfront restaurant at the Hotel Buena Vista Beach Resort. Gringos with little imagination will find burgers and hot dogs on the menu, but the best bet is enjoy the sultry sea breezes on the terrace, and feast on machaca Sonorense, ceviche pescado, fish tacos a la gobernador, or chile rellenos in a huitlacoche cream sauce. Or, if you're taking advantage of Hotel Buena Vista's fishing charters, you can have the chef cook up the day's catch any way you like it. A special fishermen's buffet breakfast is served at 6:15 a.m., and American and European meal plans are available for hotel guests.
