We were in the mood for a balanced American and Mexican breakfast so we enjoyed chilaquiles and hot cakes. The restaurant has a very authentic feel and what drew us in was the homemade tortillas being made as you walk in. There is some inside and outside seating, prices very affordable however keep in mind they only take cash. read more

Our 1rst meal when we arrive in Puerto Vallarta is Cafe de Olla. It is always a good 1. It is in Zona Romantica close to where we stay. Often quite busy & often lines during peak hours. Right next to Panchos tacos. I order the enchiladas which are yummy. Not super spicy. Good cocktails too. Home made tortillas made in house. Attentive servers. read more

Admittedly, I came here because I wanted Pancho's Tacos netxtdoor but their line was too long. Service was very friendly and fast. Food was fresh and flavorful, and menu had lots of options. Husband enjoyed his fish tacos and I enjoyed the sopes. Overall, the food was good but not excellent. Inside gets a little crowded, but the musician's presence enriched our experience. Would return! read more

Restaurant is a lot bigger inside than it looks on the outside. Inside has plenty of tables and where we sat felt very cozy. Complimentary chips and salsa. -Chilaquiles was decent. Feel like can't really mess up on this dish anywhere. -Tortilla soup with chicken literally tasted like just overload of soggy tortillas and chicken and it did not taste like chicken tortilla soup prepared in the States. Forgive me if I'm not cultured to enjoy this. -Steak tostadas were also OK. Overall, nothing stood out and my wife enjoyed the complementary chips and salsa more than anything read more

The staff was fantastic and the atmosphere was great. Their prices were very reasonable compared to the rest of town--especially as Puerto Vallarta has gotten close to U.S. pricing in many places. We've been here many times and usually the food is excellent. Unfortunately, on this visit the lobster was overcooked to the point it was rubbery. That said, the shrimp and bacon-wrapped filet were both very good. The real standout of the night was the mango margaritas--they were easily the highlight. Please do not take this as me saying don't go. It's a great place with great people, maybe don't get the lobster? read more

The food here is at another level; super delicious! Seriously. The drinks are worth every penny and they are not even expensive at all. I am surprised they don't have a higher rating. read more

I see these fish tacos in my dreams. Holy cow. I have never had better fish tacos in my life. I thought I knew pretty much how a fish taco would go, but they brought out something that almost looked like a grilled fish fajita mixture in tortillas and it was heaven. It's breakfast time and I could go for more already. And the classic margarita was refreshing and delicious, but word of warning that it was actually very strong. I am no lightweight and I felt this drink less than halfway through. It's a good deal, for sure. The inside is cute, and much bigger than it appears to be on the outside. They have signs hanging around with cute little sayings and there was a musician rounding to serenade each table with an exquisite voice. The service was friendly and even shook our hands when he asked if we were waiting for a table. We were in Puerto Vallarta for 8 days and thought about coming back every day, but there was just so much good food to try. When I come back, I'll be getting more of these tacos! read more

Came here because of all the TikToks we watched on where to eat and man did this place not disappoint. Great food and service was amazing. As you can expect the place was pretty busy but we did not have to wait. We had the Chilaquiles which were fantastic! Coffee was nice and strong but not bitter. Definitely liked the feel of an inside restaurant rather than sitting out in the sun. A place to try while in PV. Food was on the cheaper side but the quality was great read more

I may need to try again. I read the reviews. I hear the hype. People rave about it. I went and found it to be somewhat ordinary. The coffee, people talk about the coffee like it's magic. It was fine. I enjoyed it. I just didn't quite get the wow factor. Committing now; I'll go back for dinner next time, see if my experience changes. I have nothing bad to say about the place... Just didn't quite get the hundreds of five-star reviews. read more

I had the Shrimp omelet..the flavor was amazing and the dark red Salsa was to die for. Tortillas are made fresh right at the entrance. The restaurant opened at 9, we got there at 9:15 and the place was already packed. The coffee was sooo god specially when you add the pilloncillo...a must on the dining list if you're in PV read more

My husband 's favorite place for hard-to-find ground beef enchiladas. My chicken tacos were fine.

Went here for dinner during my stay in PV. It's a charming and cute restaurant. The service was good, the servers were attentive and we got our food fairly quickly. We ordered the pork ribs and octopus. The pork ribs weren't the best, a bit on the drier side, I don't recommend this. The octopus with rice and veggies though was delicious! The portions are also huge, I had leftovers for lunch the next day. The price is very reasonable for the portion size. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting PV and looking for a good octopus dish. read more

Food wasn't great. Steak burrito had very little meat, mostly beans. Guacamole tasted old. Other couple had steak fajitas and said meat was most grisly. Service was spotty. Had to ask 3 times for water. I would not go again. read more

Everyday at this place has a long line at dinner time, it's crazy so I decided to come check it out during lunch time. The menu looks very tex-mex. The space is cute, colonial decor. They only accept cash. The service is super fast they kept coming to check on us too. The fish soup is very delicious with a lot of shrimp and fish cubes, some octopus and mussels as well, there's a half small lobster and half crab, really good for the money. The fish taco are ok, I prefer the deep fried ones that's more juicy inside. read more

Over the years, Café de Olla continues to be one of my favorite breakfast spots in Puerto Vallarta. Outside in front of the restaurant you'll usually find someone cooking tortillas on a wood burning grill. Pretty authentic! You'll also usually find a line of customers waiting for tables. Inside probably hasn't been renovated since it opened decades ago, but it adds to the quaint and unique ambience. The menu isn't enormous, but you'll find the standard American and Mexican breakfast offerings. My favorite are the chilaquiles which resemble a breakfast scramble over tortilla chips, or breakfast nachos LOL. Yesterday I ordered a shrimp and mushroom omelet. As with all omelets it came with refried beans. I'm glad I ordered sides of hash browns and bacon (crispy and burnt just like I like it). The salsa was fresh and tasty. Rick L's oatmeal bowl was huge and he couldn't finish it. The coffee is strong and delicious. It comes with large cylinder chunks of unrefined sugar (sugar and sweetener packets also available). With the ongoing pandemic, I was glad to see hand sanitizer everywhere, and they clear off all the jar condiments from the table for cleaning. read more

Hands down the best Chile Relleno we have ever had. One of the best things about PVR is the authentic Chile Relleno. You cannot get this quality and authenticity in the U.S. Cafe de Olla is a wonderful restaurant. The staff are amazing and polite. We met locals here who could not stop raving about how amazing the restaurant, staff and owners were. Also, the rice and beans?? Unreal. This might be the best food we have had in PVR. This needs to be a must stop when visiting. Also, the Cadillac Margarita was really good also. read more

I love this little coffee shop! I literally went there three days in a row when I was staying in Puerto Vallarta. The first day I got the iced café de olla coffee. The second day I went and got Chile relleno! It was so yummy and it wasn't expensive at all! I think I paid five dollars for the whole meal with rice and beans! Honestly the crazy part is everything is so expensive and delicious The next day for breakfast I got Chilaquiles with green sauce. As you can see in the picture of the eggs look like they are organic eggs especially because of the bright orange yolk! I also had a cafe de olla coffee. The cool part is you get a block of sugar and you put the sugar in your coffee and I have to say it was so good! If you are in Puerto Vallarta make sure you get a coffee and a meal from here. read more

Delicious tacos and salsa here. The margaritas are delicious and massive. Good service and great street ambience. We'll be back!

Went out to dinner with our friends Jude and Larry. They know the lay of the land very well, so any place they choose is going to be good. Cafe de Olla was no exception. The place was busy, and we were easily seated. Service was very efficient, and the atmosphere was lively. The menu is varied, so you will find something to your liking. I had the garlic shrimp entrée while Shelly had the baked potato and steak entrée. Both are excellent choices and delicious. read more

Walked by this place a couple times seen the lady outside making handmade tortillas so we knew my wife and I had to try it and it did not disappoint I got the chile con carne and she got pancakes and bacon. Service was great and quick! Highly recommend for every b because it definitely felt like my grandma was back there cooking. read more

Solid place for brunch if you're in the Zona Romantica area! The menu is massive, portions are a healthy size, and the margaritas give you the right buzz. I personally ordered the steak fajitas and it was honestly enough food for two meals! The meat was slightly over cooked but I could barely notice since the side of refried beans and guac were so flavorful. I also enjoyed how they provided complementary chips and salsa (not picture since we devoured them). Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for some no frills Mexican food. read more
