    I was walking solo on the marina to find something to eat. I was hungry, but too hungry to figure out what to eat. (I know: normally anything and everything would just look good, but I get like this sometimes.) I walked through a lot of other eateries but was turned off by their peeps heckling at me, and with hAngerism on hand, I really wasn't in the mood to deal with them so I simply walked away from every single one of them. Then this place. No hecklers!? Check. Menu posted outside? Check. I came through around 10am-ish and did a quick skim through the menu. A few people came out post-meal (not sure if they were tourists or ex-pats or even locals) and told me to check them out. "Breakfast is half off." And that food isn't bad at all for how much they were charging. I noticed they were at half capacity and everything I saw coming out of the kitchen looked really good, so I was convinced. I felt I needed a break from Mexican food, so I went for the beef tenderloin steak and eggs (for the bargain price of US$4.50!) My food came through just as Hubbers finally made it through. (He ordered their chilaquiles which made it to our table when I was halfway through my meal.) And boy: for what I got, I wouldn't have mind if I paid full price. The steak alone was worth it. It was cooked so tender and juicy and seasoned PERFECT. The egg was also cooked to my sunny side up liking. Not really a fan of potatoes, so I barely touched it. (I was so hungry I didn't notice refried beans or pancakes were also options, I would have rather gone for one of those instead.) But that didn't matter, it was still good eats! FOOD: 5. VALUE: 5. And then some! SERVICE: 5. Zero snags there. PARKING: N/A. Probably street parking, if I had to guess. OVERALL: 5. I wish I had discovered this place much earlier on my trip because I would have made it a daily stop. But so glad of the discovery. I would definitely make a stop here again given the chance.

    Mango shrimp entrée

    On Thursdays, there's a farmers market at the marina. We left the resort to do some shopping and ended up eating at Bacha's Mexican Restaurant. Good choice as we beat the crowd, and we're seated immediately. I had the grilled mango shrimp with veggies and rice. One thing that we didn't expect was to have guacamole made fresh right at the table, delicious!!!

    Special #1

    Hugo makes the best margarita in the Marina! I couldn't finish even half of my Grande Top shelf margarita! The combo #1 was super delicious and hubby enjoyed his seafood soup. I'm so full I can barely breathe. The complimentary table side guacamole is soooo yummy. Definitely worth a visit

    Fish filet Bacha's style
    Jamie A.

    Great food, great price, nice view. The service was very friendly and fast and attentive. The food was delicious and well-priced. Portions were generous, and it was kid-friendly. Check out their fish filet Bacha's style. It was the star of the show for sure. The shrimp in lobster sauce was also yummy. They also served us made-to-order guacamole at the table and it was delish! Come here after strolling by the marina, it's a nice reprieve from the heat and humidity.

    Steak Burrito and Fiesta Platter
    Alexandra W.

    We stopped in as we walked around the marina. Food was overall very good. It's a lovely traditional Mexican restaurant. I thought the prices were great and food tasted good! Husband got a steak burrito and I got the fiesta platter. They are VERY large portions so we could have shared. But oh well! Still very good!

    Serrano peppers

    Fun place to enjoy authentic Mexican fare, music and entertainment as acrobats passed by and flipped for us. Fresh guacamole was prepared tableside as part of their schtic. It was the best we ever had. Margueritas were very tasty and potent. We had the Supreme fajitas which included shrimp, tender beef and chicken, onions and peppers. Yum! It's all outside with an overhang facing the marina and amazing yachts. Great waiters couldn't do enough for us. Very inexpensive dinner and would definitely come back.

    AMAZING food, drinks and service!! Will definitely go back
    Peggy D.

    AMAZING dinner, drinks and service!! Will definitely return The ceasar salad is enough for 2 fyi.

    Mixed fajitas

    Really enjoyed this one (we've been making our way around the marina). The table side guac was a nice touch; the US $ on the tray to encourage tip was a bit much though. I had shrimp, spinach, mushroom enchiladas in white sauce; husband had mixed fajitas. Both were delicious and portions were so big we brought 1/2 of each home. Margarita was strong-no joke!

    Blurry but our amazing server in the back

    The food is decent for the American pállate. I did love the guacamole. They even make it right at the table! Most of these stars go to our server and the fact they allow the mariachi to come into the dining room area. We had the music for almost an hour and they are the only restaurant that allow the mariachi in. But again our server had to be the most amicable in any restaurant we went to. He was extremely attentive, accommodating, and down to earth. Si estás leyendo esto amigo, te iremos a visitar de nuevo algún día! Muchísimas gracias a usted y a él excelente mariachi :)

    Shrimp Fajitas!
    L R.

    Owned by Canadians, it's both traditional and approachable. The Guacamole is made table side, with a production shouti "Arriba!" Really fun place to be! It's right on the marina, so you've got dinner and a view. Often the mariachi performers or traditional Mayan dancers come by, entertain for tips. The shrimp fajitas are really good. You build your own, with sizzling cast irons are the peppers, onions and shrimp, the other plates are rice, fillings and a covered white container of soft thin tortillas.

    aguachiles

    Great food and service. The aguachile, guacamole, wings and camarones a la diabla were delicious.

    Menu

    I had the cheese enchilada, one chicken tamal,and one Chile relleno. Food is excellent if you are in Puerto Vallarta it is a place to try

    For a small fee these guys will play songs at your table. They are both so talented.

    Sadly Bachas is no more. It's out of business. I've heard it's to be replaced by a Tapas Restaurant. Don't know for sure.

    Amazing brunch. We had Chilaquiles and divorced eggs ( eggs with green and red sauce) and it was delicious. Great food and service.

    Good value and food. Large portions. The only negative was the slow service and lack of drink refills.

    Impressed and then some!…read more A bit skeptical, as it was under new management, but Senõr Carrera and his partner, the chef, took such great care of us and did an AMAZING job from presentation to flavor to making us feel welcome and appreciated. (Disclaimer: Please overlook any gringa estupida Spanglish grammar errors.) Gracias amigos! This place is a hidden GEM. The prices were off-the-charts reasonable and the lobsters were HUGE! Being from the Midwest, mì amigas lobsters would've been close to double, if not more, what we paid. It's not those tiny tails like you get at red lobster either, that jumbo shrimp rival for size. These lobsters were legit! I've seen smaller chihuahuas... We had a party of 6 and no one complained about a single dish, flavor, spice, drink. Sr. Mauricio was fun and attentive. Guacamole was good. Calamari was amazing! Please get it. Best several of us has ever eaten. Not over cooked and spongy. Just fantastico. Perfecto! Get in a taxi and go there. Now. Then go again. Your stomach AND pocketbook will having a full on fiesta! It's colorful and has murals and is just a beautiful experience. We have 3 more days here and we might even go again. We will see what the universe tells us we need in México! Olé!

    This place is nothing short of amazing! 1) to die for food 2) personable & attentive staff 3) clean…read morerestaurant Chef Leo kept amazing us with every plate.. with a party of 12 everyone was eating off each others plate enjoying each savory bite! I believe our waiters name was Maio(?) very friendly and attentive and personable. Claudio's Place is a must when visiting PV. We'll definitely be going back!
