Menu highlights include thinly sliced Giant Sea Scallop served over mango and tequila jelly, with organic greens and charred habanero oil; Oaxaca cheese casserole with sautéed ajillo-style shrimp; Roasted sweet corn cream soup with cotija cheese and chili oil; Seared ahí tuna steak over diamonds of papaya with mint, tamarind and tequila vinaigrette and salad of sautéed green beans; Sea Bass in avocado and ancho chili, over jalapeño and green tomato sauce with Mexican zucchini; and Dark Chocolate Mousse with a white chocolate and mole poblano center topped with amaranth crisp. Changing every 6 to 8 months, the menu also offers gluten free, organic and vegetarian options.

A perfect complement to the new menu, Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit offers its guests the latest in margarita mixology, from Chili Pepper and Tamarind to Avocado Pistachio and Hibiscus. The margarita menu boasts twelve libations including a Cocoa Signature Margarita that combines the full-bodied flavor of chocolate directly from Chiapas with a touch of orange essence; Avocado Pistachio; Cilantro Coriander; Hibiscus, Chili Mango; Huitlacoche Signature Margarita, which combines the corn truffle with tequila, resulting in a slightly salty, very flavorful and unique drink served on the rocks; and more.
