Uvita Spanish

About

Mexican food and passion fruit margaritas so good travelers spend years trying to replicate them at home. The heart of the place is owner Patricia, who is involved with every table and has been known to make guests their margaritas herself; one couple was invited in on her day off for exactly that. Expect a quaint, string-lit patio, a house dog named Dixie, and chocolate pie to finish.

I would give you a 100 stars if I could!!! Trisha and the crew are amazing. Food -Fantastic!!! Margaritas are the best ( just like the sign by the beach said!!!). Delicious chocolate pie. Cozy Ambience. Adorable perra de casa Dixie- OMG! Muy bonita. Love love love this place. A must visit. My only regret, I didn’t stop by earlier during our stay in Uvita. Pura Vida!!!

We loved the atmosphere for our first date. So quaint with outdoor seating and strings of lights around. Tricia, our server was so pleasant and personable. The food was scrumptious- and that's a lot for me to say as I am such a foody. Thank you so much for this experience!

We had one of Patricia’s margaritas a few years ago and tried replicating it our self ever since. When we came back to Uvita, we had to go. But she happened to be closed. BUT she was outside and she invited us in, gave us a really special night making us the margaritas we’d dreamed of and even had us shake our own. Patricia is one of a kind and her hospitality and service was an absolute highlight of our trip. Thank you so much Patricia for a perfect margarita and unforgettable experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
