    Covered Dining Area
    Steve D.

    I liked the reasonable drink prices, the free wi-fi, the attentive service and the good location on the south end of the Malecon. They offered a good mix of bar, covered table and covered beach seating with a good mix of music from classic rock to Mexican. Unfortunately, the restroom located across the street was very basic. Overall, pretty good.

    Delicious margaritas and 2 for 1 is great! We tried strawberry and mango. Mango is delicious and tastes like it was made with fresh real fruit, not syrup. Very nice workers

    Perfect Guacamole

    my BFF and I come once a year to PVR. We stop here for an order of Guacamole. a perfect afternoon snack.

    Drinks right on the sand

    Eh, while the view is nice, the drinks were ok and the sand nats were kind of bad. I would revisit for the view and a quick drink but doubtful I would eat here. Try the dirty monkey yum!

    Burrito de Camarones - delicious!
    Marci A.

    Beware tourist trap prices!! Although the server was super nice, the food was okay at best, the margaritas which are 2 for 1 are served in a tiny class and both at the same time so one gets hot while you drink the other (and it's not good cold so imagine how bad it is hot). My burrito was over priced for what it was, wish we didn't go to this place and actually used Yelp. After this bad experience I yelped everything else in the area and found much better places at much better prices. Also- they don't take card here and if you're paying with dollars they'll overcharge you on that too.

    This peach margarita is SUPER sweet and has muddled fruit in it.

    We only spent a few minutes at Burros Bar while waiting to go for a water taxi to Yelapa. But, the margaritas we ordered were *extraordinary*. The deal at the time was two-for-one, but you had to order two of the same flavor. Not a problem as our palates are compatible. We started with Mango and it was divine. Sweet, muddled fruit, thick, and flavorful. not much alcohol, but I grew to appreciate that. The drinks are inexpensive and delicious. So lower alcohol just means you can enjoy more in a short period of time without getting seriously loopy. After the mango, we went for a peach, also fantastic. There's nothing quite like drinking an amazing, refreshing, inexpensive drink at the beach, in the shade, with your toes in the sand. Drink service was attentive and prompt. No complaints. To add to the experience, a local guy named Antonio struck up a conversation with us and, like most, had connections like a concierge and led us to a reasonably priced water taxi that was covered. Apparently not all of them are. Our trip to Yelapa was 40 minutes, so we were appreciative. Recommended!

    The 5 beers special stopped us in our tracks! We were seated by Maria. An awesome waitress, who took care of us with always there when we needed her! Friendly and attentive! We had nachos with chorizo, amazing and aqua chili shrimp was delicious!!!!oh did I mention we had the beach as view. The only thing better was our waitress, Maria!

    Burro's has been replaced as my go-to place for margaritas by Bar Oceano. The main reason is that service has declined to the point where I found it difficult to get the attention of wait staff. One time, we simply left after we could not get anyone's attention to place an order. We still go occasionally just for the ambiance.

    2 for 1 all day Margarita special

    Rating only as a bar and not as a restaurant as we only ordered drinks. Two good margaritas for a little over $4 while drinking them under a thatched umbrella along the beach. True nirvana for a cheap gringo

    Easy to social distance. Tables have more than enough space between them. Staff was masked. I thought the margaritas were good. We shared 2/1 bananna. Should have been revoltingly sweet. It wasn't. Service is good. Views are incredible.

    Joe Jack's was a great experience from start to finish…read more I started with the bruschetta, which was easily a 5/5. There is no such thing as too many tomatoes. I honestly could have ordered two. The house-made ricotta was creamy, the tomatoes were fresh and sweet, and the aged balsamic brought everything together perfectly. For my main, I had the Asian noodle salad with grilled shrimp. It was refreshing, light, and full of flavor without feeling heavy. The grapefruit added a bright citrus note, and while I initially thought the candied pecans would be an odd pairing, they worked surprisingly well. My only suggestion would be to remove the shrimp tails to make the dish a little easier to enjoy. I finished with the mango-strawberry almond parfait, which was the perfect ending to the meal. It was light, refreshing, and not overly sweet, making it a great dessert after two flavorful courses. The service throughout the meal was warm and welcoming. I'm still working on my Spanish, and everyone was patient and encouraging, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Located just a short walk from our Airbnb, it's perfectly placed for a relaxed dinner after a day of exploring. The room on the second floor was air-conditioned -- a godsend in June's heat -- and made the whole experience far more comfortable. The setting feels casual but thoughtfully executed, with attentive service that never felt intrusive. Drinks: the Tamarind Margarita is a must-order. Tangy, balanced, and truly memorable -- one of the best cocktails we tried during our stay. Food: outstanding. The Tuna Chicharrón taco was superb -- honestly the best taco we had in two days in PV. Crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The Shrimp Ceviche tostadas were equally excellent: fresh, bright, and well composed. Service: Jesús was a standout. Friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable -- he made solid recommendations and kept the evening running smoothly. If you're nearby, do not miss this spot. Great food, fantastic cocktails, and comfortable indoor seating with AC make Tuna Azul an easy top pick in Puerto Vallarta.

One of their most iconic dishes was El Kraken, a whole small octopus, grilled and served with potatoes and tzatziki. From the taco menu, the Tres con Todo were three "tuna al pastor" tacos made of cubes of tuna with pineapple, sprouts, radish, and creamy avocado on two fried tacos--creative, but nothing too outstanding flavorwise. We continued with the Pal'Mito salad, made of hearts of palm, sundried tomatoes, avocado, spinach, bacon, and seared tuna. The Churrasco de Salmon was a perfectly tender salmon filet topped with a cream sauce and served with plantain puree and grilled corn on the cob.

Their ceviche was just ok. I've had better ceviches in Mexico. There were too much veggies in it in my opinions. If you are in the area, it is worth checking out! Come for their octopus!
