Top 5 Grocery Stops
Near Sayulita
Where we shop for our own kitchen, and how to stock up on arrival day.
The five best grocery stops near Sayulita Palms are Camacho's for daily basics, Mini Súper Chewbacca for mezcal and wine, Fruteria Doña Lupe for cheap fresh produce, Terrenal Organic Food Store for organic goods, and Mega and La Comer in Bucerías for the big stock-up. We suggest Mega or La Comer on the drive in from the airport.
We stock the kitchen the same way every trip: the big supermarkets in Bucerías on arrival day, then small shops on foot for the rest of the week. Two quick tips. ATMs in Sayulita are unreliable and can run dry, so bring pesos with you, since the small shops here are mostly cash. And when your Uber leaves the airport, ask the driver to stop at Mega or La Comer in Bucerías, which sits right on the way.

Camacho's
The go-to mini-super in the south end of town, and the store most Sayulita regulars mean when they say they are running to the market. Aisles are narrow but cover the daily basics: eggs, milk, tortillas, fresh bread, produce, cold beer, bottled water and snacks. Prices sit below the tourist-oriented shops on the plaza, so it works well for a first stock-up before cooking breakfast at the house.
Pay in pesos and bring a tote bag, since bags are often thin or not offered; weekday mornings are the quietest.
Mini Súper Chewbacca
A North Side corner shop that locals and long-stay guests credit with the best wine and spirits shelf in town. Expect mezcal, tequila, Mexican craft beer, wine and instant coffee, with beer typically around 30-35 pesos. It is the easiest place to grab a bottle of tequila or mezcal for the terrace without walking into the busy center, plus staples like snacks and drinks.
Many items have no price label, so ask at the register before you load up, and bring your own bag.
Fruteria Doña Lupe
A family-run produce shop off Calle Pelícanos with a wide spread of fresh fruit and vegetables at fair prices. Reviewers consistently mention the friendly service and the quality of the mangos, papaya, limes, avocados and tomatoes. Stock up here for smoothies, ceviche or guacamole and you will spend noticeably less than at the supermarkets or tourist-facing stands.
There is no storefront sign and a shade curtain may cover the front, so look across from the falafel place; go early for the best selection.
Terrenal Organic Food Store
A calm, well-kept shop on the highway into town that stocks organic and health-focused goods hard to find elsewhere in Sayulita. Look for free-range eggs, artisan cheeses, raw dairy, kombucha, vegan pesto, raw chocolate and natural soaps and supplements, with some fresh produce. Staff know the products well, so it is a good stop for dietary needs, gluten-free or plant-based shopping.
Bring clean glass bottles for kombucha and yogurt; returns earn store credit. Closed Sundays.
Mega and La Comer, Bucerías
For a full weekly shop, locals drive to Bucerías, where Mega sits on the south side with La Comer across the highway. Both carry full meat and seafood counters, bakery, imported goods, large wine and spirits aisles, cleaning supplies and bulk water jugs at supermarket prices. This is the stop for arrival-day provisioning, large groups, or anything the little tiendas in Sayulita lack.
Ask your Uber driver from the airport to stop here on the way in, then buy 19-liter garrafón water jugs and bulk beer. Shop early to beat the afternoon lines and bring a cooler bag.
