We have spent months working from our favorite hillside neighborhood, and let me tell you, the culinary scene right outside your door is nothing short of AMAZING!
When you need a fast lunch between meetings, you do not want to wander all the way down to the beach or wait an hour for a sit-down meal. Fortunately, Amapas and its immediate surroundings are packed with incredible little taco stands, juice bars, and quick taco joints that keep you fueled and focused.
Let’s dive into our top spots for fast, delicious fuel when you are on the clock.
The Morning Rush: Coffee and Pastries Close to Home
Every productive workday starts with a solid cup of coffee. If you are staying in the neighborhood, you are never more than a short walk from a fantastic morning spot.
We love grabbing an iced americano and a fresh pastry before logging into our morning sprint. There is something so refreshing about stepping out into the warm morning air, picking up breakfast in minutes, and heading right back to your workspace.
If you prefer brewing your own morning brew, having a fully equipped kitchen makes life so much easier. You can check out our favorite neighborhood guide for travelers to see how locals set up their daily routines in this vibrant coastal pocket.
Midday Taco Runs: Fast and Flavorful
When the clock strikes noon and your stomach starts rumbling, it is time for a quick taco run. You do not need to look far to find sizzling al pastor or fresh fish tacos.
One of our absolute favorite quick stops is just a few blocks down the hill. You walk up, order three tacos, and within five minutes you are holding a plate of absolute perfection.
We always say that if you want to understand why remote workers love staying here, you should read our guide to local secrets for tips on navigating the best neighborhood food spots without missing a beat on your work schedule.

Afternoon Refreshers: Smoothies and Juice Bars
By two o'clock in the afternoon, the tropical heat starts picking up. That is our cue for a fresh fruit smoothie or a cold coconut water.
There are several small juice spots tucked along the winding streets of Amapas where you can grab a vitamin-packed green juice in seconds. It is the ultimate afternoon pick-me-up when you are staring down a heavy afternoon workload.
Having a blender right in your kitchen also means you can whip up your own post-workout smoothies using fresh mango and papaya from the nearby market.
Evening Quick Bites After Logging Off
When the workday finally wraps up at five or six, the last thing you want to do is spend hours cooking. Luckily, Amapas transitions seamlessly into an evening food lover's paradise.
You can stroll down to nearby taco stands or grab a quick torta before heading down to watch the evening lights shimmer over the bay. It is fast, affordable, and deeply authentic.
And if you are looking for your own permanent base for your next remote work adventure, we highly recommend browsing through condos for rent in puerto vallarta to find a space that fits your lifestyle.
Living and working in Amapas has truly been an unforgettable experience for us. The combination of lightning-fast Wi-Fi in our rental, stunning jungle views, and incredible quick bites right outside the door makes it the ultimate spot for digital nomads and couples alike.
