Actually not a bad place for being inside the airport. we've been there twice now, first time in 2020 & then now 5 years later in 2025. Price is as expected since it IS in the airport, but i was actually surprised by the service. They are on top of things & are always constantly checking if you need water or anything else for your group. The shrimp is also very fresh since they are located in Puerto Vallarta, which is right by the sea so you are guaranteed fresh. Compared to the Bubba Gumps in the US which you do not get fresh seafood like you do here. Drinks were strong which you would like before getting on the plane to take away some of the nerves. Highly recommend to stop here if you're in the PVR airport.
It's a given what to expect with the food here. Some people love it, some dislike it. There's not much sit down dining restaurants at this terminal so it was slim pickings. I normally juts pop in while waiting for the flights and have a beer. Well, nothing new. A beer and a snack. The cheese fries, simple and easy. It was ok, nothing major to rave about. If you know this chain restaurant, it's full of the movie memorabilia, pictures and quotes. Don't get me wrong, people love it as it's a symbolic movie. It's whatever, a good fast place for a drink while waiting. Staff were all really friendly at this location. Menu, I'm not sure if they're all the same nationwide. It's basically a hub for international travelers who see something familiar and know about it.
Always stop by Bubba Gump, but never have eaten here. Got in real quick they sent me to table didn't have to go to the bar. Food came super fast. They are very attentive. Chicken strips seem hand breaded and were very tasty and the fries are hand cut. Drinks came fast. Only thing I would :( is the price but that's what you get when you get to any airport Sticking with my five star on this one.
The most expensive meal I had in Puerto Vallarta was here as we waited for our flight home. Are the prices ridiculous? Yes (as all airports). Is the food and service good? Also, yes. I had the fish and chips. Everyone in our party of four enjoyed their meal. The key lime pie was fantastic!
With 2.5 hours to kill before boarding a flight and with a bit of hunger pangs kinda kickin' it, Hubbers and I decided to get in one more meal. There were other choices, but this topped our list because we wanted to dine in (rather than getting food and taking it back to our seats at the gates.) Plus our palates kinda directed us here, so... We got on the waitlist and were told a 30 minute wait (which was weird because there were plenty of open tables.) No biggie, we had the time... But the wait wasn't even close to that half hour. We got seated just a little over 10 minutes later, so... yay! It didn't take long before Hubbers and I decided what we wanted. LAVA FLOW: A great starter before the starter. Great way to cleanse the palate before indulging in grub. RUN ACROSS AMERICA SAMPLER: Everything fried and had a lotta parts to it. Tortilla chips were what they were. Nothing to get excited about. Fried shrimp and hush puppies were between good and great, they weren't bad. Chicken tenders were booboo, though. They were fried much too tough and just became inedible. Even a simple bite was a struggle. I managed to find some parts soft enough, but most of it was just... nope. SHRIMP PO'BOY: They were generous with the amount of shrimp they put in this. It was also kept as simple as possible, so the main star really was the shrimp. The bun was soft but held the insides well. Mayo was light and the veggies were fresh. I liked it. FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH: Hubbers' struggled between this and the ribs, but since ribs weren't available, he was happy to get this. I got to try a small bite and liked it. He, on the other hand, liked it enough to eat it all. So, yeah. Great choice. FOOD: 5. SERVICE: 4. It was sorta a challenge trying to get staff to tend to us in the beginning (not having the RUN FORREST RUN and STOP FORREST STOP signs might have been an issue.) But once we got our server's attention (I believe his name is Daniel) it was smooth sailing from there. VALUE: 3. Average at best. Pretty comparable to what we pay in the states. OVERALL: 4. It was sorta a good comeback from the last meal we had at the marina (that one was yuck.) Granted it was more American, the meal was still a saving grace of some sort. But still: a good run at that. Might just come through again should I find myself in this city as well as the need comes up again.
This location was in the airport in Puerto Vallarta. It was easy to get seated and the service was on point. My food arrived hot & promptly! It had a fun upbeat feel. It was very clean.
They do not accept travel vouchers from airlines. There's a sign at the front desk that says they do but they won't when the bill comes. Don't fall for their scam!!
Like most Bubba gumps we've been at this one is a bit smaller since its inside the small Vallarta airport. Staff was friendly and prompt at seating and service. They were busy yet got us our drinks quick and were very accommodating. Its not the best food but it will get the job done when your hungry and don't want to eat on the plane and very family friendly for all ages.
Gotta love Bubba Gump! Stopped in before our flight back home for a bite to eat. It was super crowded (as most airport restaurants are) but we got a seat right away and the staff was FAST. Food was great. We especially liked the Shrimp BLT salad! Stop in if you have some time to kill before your flight!
Bubba Gump at the airport was a nice taste of home. A decent glass of wine and nice large water bottles for our flight were so comforting. I was so happy to have a hearty box of salad to give me a clean feeling of eating fresh foods. My son loved what he ordered and actually ate it which made me super happy! Although we ordered lots of fired foods, the kids ate and were satiated which was great. read more
Aww, Bubba Gump's Shrimp Company... We had one on Maui but it sadly closed years ago. While the menu isn't as copious as it used to be, this was the only roomy sit down restaurant near gate 7 at PVR. ATMOSPHERE: Seating was quite plentiful and spacious for luggage-in-tow. The decor brought back fun memories we had at the oceanfront Lahaina location. MENU: Sad to report that the Bucket O Boat Trash isn't here either (if anywhere). But they did have shrimp in numerous preparations, burgers, sandwiches, ribs, poultry, ribs, dessert and drinks. FOOD: Old Fashioned New England Clam Chowder (bowl) The bowl had good circumference but wasn't very deep. The soup was creamy, perfectly seasoned, with a good amount of clams, potatoes and onions. Oyster crackers provided for the perfect topping and texture. The spouse enjoyed and devoured his All American Cheeseburger with seasoned fries. SERVICE: Host greeting was immediate and friendly. Our male server was great. Food delivery time was quick. As is customary in Mexico, you have to ask for your check. OVERALL: Not a bad last meal to our vacay... read more

Super huge frozen burger patty or something. It was super gray inside. It did the job and looked the part but it's definitely not a fresh, grilled burger. The best part was the server, she was super friendly and helpful. Did the job although I think there are better places to eat in this airport - adios, hasta la proxima vez read more

This was such a nice surprise in the airport. The food was good, the waiter was super sweet, and the key lime pie was everything!!!! We even ordered an extra piece. We needed more tartar sauce and they charged extra for that so keep that in mind. Nice place to sit and chill between flights. read more
Not a lot of choice at this airport gate Either fastfood like pizza&pasta, Johnny rockets and Bubba Gump. Service was great and I liked the ambiance but the food was not good. It was salty and greasy. I got the cajun shrimp and it came with two garlic bread. I don't know why they'll give greasy butter and pepper marinated shrimp with more garlic and butter smothered bread. It made it even more salty and oily that I had to order jasmine rice. Honestly, just pick up a taco before you come. read more

Great atmosphere. It does take at least 30 minutes to get your food and about 15 minutes to get your drinks so only go in the restaurant if you have enough time before boarding your plane. The food is real good, awesome costumer service but I did not love my signature drinks. I simply didn't feel the love in them. I loved the grilled shrimp best! read more

Really surprised that Bubba Gump at the airport was so good. I have to admit that I've NEVER been to Bubba Gump.. didn't hear good things about the food. Anyway, leaving PVR, I ordered grilled shrimp and fries.. the shrimp were seasoned really well.. Cajun I'd say.. I got 14 shrimp and fries for the equivalent of around $10.. good buy. Having that experience makes me want to try BG in the states.. read more

The only thing good here is the environment and the fries, everything else even the manager is not good.. I got my food and sent it right back, no one liked their food and then when they gave us our bill they charged us for the food I sent back and said 'yea it's on the bill still' so the manager came and talked not wanting to take it off when I didn't eat any of it and she finally took it off. So unprofessional of her. read more
