Compiled by Vallarta Lifestyles magazine, which tends to be tilted towards advertisers. I could make a better one.

Please do! But be sure you've had the pleasure of eating at Restaurant Saiya in Bucerias first... it is the most amazing Thai-Japanese fusion, without question the best new restaurant in our area in years!!! It is located in a tiny food court on Hidalgo, just down from Dr. Mauro. Emi is the chef-owner and her food is just stunning. Best hot and sour egg drop soup of my life, beautiful pork and veg in a ginger sauce, Vietnamese fried squid, many udon noodle dishes, very extensive menu, everything so fresh and beautifully presented. We asked her to feed nine of us with a 120p per person limit and were served eight courses, all delicious beyond words! Her phone number is 322-158-2918. The restaurant is tiny, so if you're more than four, please give her a call in advance. Open for dinner only in the summer, 4pm-10pm. Closed Sunday. Beer and wine, bring your own tequila. I'm drooling just thinking about it!
PM me with your email address and I will send you her menu.

Oh come on , JR, you could spring for the bus, or even drive your car up to Bucerias. Live a little!

Don't have a car anymore Sue, and it's the time involved, more than the money, I need to work every day.

Thanks so much for the info, Camille! We, in Bucerias, have been hoping a Thai restaurant might open here, and are delighted to know of this new one. BTW, there are two or three "bests" on the list from Bucerias. If the list people didn't consider Bucerias part of the PV area, they would have restricted these businesses from competing. Just sayin' ...
