Fodor's Review:
The street corner on which the small restaurant is tucked means noise on either side. Service is reasonably attentive, although it sometimes seems grudging. Still, this is an expat (and gay) favorite, and no wonder: the food is seriously good and portions generous. The molcajete—a sizzling black pot of tender flank steak, grilled green onion, and soft white cheese in a delicious homemade sauce of dried red peppers—is served with a big plate of guacamole, refried beans, and made-at-the-moment corn or flour tortillas.

Best Hidden Secret of PV
Posted by alim1 from Chicago on 6/11/09
We were recommended to go there from a girl at our hotel who lived in PV on business for 7 years... THE BEST advice we got was to check out El Brujo. Get the Queso con cilatro for an app... you will freak out it's THAT amazing. They serve it in a piping hot bowl. It's mozzarella cheese fried, then they pour the sauce (which is totally not overpowering with cilatro) and it bubbles to an amazing delight. You eat it with tortillas. The food in general is really good, very chill atmosphere, and very cheap. It's a total gem and I would eat there again in a heart beat (wish I was there now in fact). Another tip-after dinner, ask your waiter where the church is... when he/she tells you (it's a few blocks away) check it out. There is a guy there who sells the most amazing churros. Nothing like topping off a cholesterol-filling app with an amazing cholesterol-filled desert. It's the best.
Traditional Mexican Restaurant

Casual and very inexpensive Mexican restaurant. The shrimp ceviche in the BIG pot is to be shared with more than one person. We must have gotten about 14+ shrimp in it and took most of it home. Good place for an ethnic Mexican restaurant.
My favorite local dive

Ok, it's not fancy but just try and get in the door at dinner time during high season. Locals and snowbirds in the know flock to this place for the authentic Mexican dishes but the real stars of the show are the creative and delicious seafood dishes. Perfectly fresh fish, crab, oysters - yumbo. Try it is the middle of the afternoon for a late lunch to avoid the crowds and you'll probably be the only gringo in the place because the locals love it too.
