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.

Chicken strips and fries

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.

Travel voucher scam
J H.

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!!

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!

To stop service use this one.

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.

Burger n fries :)

Avoid this dump unless you want to be dissatisfied with service(SLOW kitchen) and ridiculous americano prices. Not worth it.

However, as me and my friends (it was 4 of us) were leaving the restaurant, our waiter chased us down claiming we did not tip enough. Here's a note from my friend detailing more of what happened: "It was 150 pesos which is a little more than 10% of the total. In Mexico, 10% is completely customary, especially for tourist. Locals will give even less and typically leave only about 50 pesos. I don't know if he was expecting for us to give him more just because we're used to giving 15 or even 20% at a time but I always do at least 10. If it's one of the really nice restaurants where they take care of absolutely everything then I do get more than that but this was just a normal place And I did fold the bills because I clipped it into the checkbook, so there is a chance he thought it was just 50. But to flip out and say it's not enough that he deserves more or just to take it away is crazy in my opinion." We may return, but this really turned a perfect visit into a not so great one in the end. The 3/5 is for food and service, would've been 5/5 had we not been stopped as we were leaving for not "tipping enough".

I was placed by the glass for the view. (It can be requested, but not expected.) The martinis were great. I got the fried goat cheese and the ham & chicken croquettes. My party of 3 went to just me, so that was enough. It would have been nice to try some other things, but it was my last night in PV and what I got was satisfying. Live music was playing throughout my evening. First, just a guitarist and then, 2 others joined him. Great vibe and wonderful food. Just right for my last night.

We came here as a party of 4 for my friend's 40th birthday around 6:30 and caught the most amazing sunset. They had a professional photographer take a complimentary photo for us. The service was impeccable, so welcoming and sweet! All of our dishes were so good. We ordered: octopus, seafood croquette, egg potato, potatoes brava, asparagus, white sangria. The octopus was so tender (maybe the best octopus dish that I've had) and the seafood croquette just melts in your mouth. There was not a dish that I did not like. For dessert we got the orange flan which was so yummy and delightful. and the chocolate lava cake. The sunset view was gorgeous! And the price was very reasonable - we got drinks, dinner and dessert, and the total came out to be $44 per person. I hope to be back!
