Great little spot just off the beach, away from the resorts. We had a guy playing guitar. He was great. Best fajitas I've ever had.
I really loved Eddie's Place to refuel with a Dirty Monkey after spending a long day in the sun. Eddie's was conveniently located right across the street from our Hotel Villa Varadero. My husband and I enjoyed dinners here, and would just come for drinks and listen to local musicians playing for the patrons. This was our go to restaurant, and I highly recommend that you give it a try!
This place came highly recommended for those who are staying at Vidanta if you wantedbto get more for your money. The cost is less and you get larger portions. We went around 3pm. They have a large outdoor bearing area. We are indoors to take advantage of the AC. The indoor seating is a smaller space. The service was great, very friendly and the food was served fast. The coconut shrimp was very good especially with the dipping sauce they offer. I had the carne asada burrito and Tamara had their popular dish( I can't remember the name but see the pics). We really enjoyed our time here and highly recommend it.
We came over from Vidanta to save about 2/3 of cost for a better experience. We didn't attempt the walk down the beach, but the taxi ride was only about 12 bucks each way. The food wasn't as good as we found in Malecon, but it is closer. Their Mexican coffee for after dinner was superb, and the whole restaurant stopped to watch the performance. Our server was Ricardo and he did a great job.
Great food, friendly service, good value. Just off the beach. A welcome escape from the fastfood quality at Vidanta. The Avocado stuffed with shrimp is delicious
The food was so amazing, the drinks were even better, we stayed at the Vidanta Grand Luxxe and walked off the resort down the beach to the marina. We had the guacamole and the Eddie's Mexican Plate. So delicious and Ricardo our waiter was great!
Wow, this place was amazing. Located in Nuevo Nayarit. Although according to the staff, Eddie passed away a few years ago, this place continues to provide excellent food at a very reasonable price. Please try the margaritas they are huge when you order a large! Also the chips and dip they bring to the table, of the three the avocado cream sauce which looks like a green goddess dressing is unbelievable.
