    Alonso and his unethical timeshare partners
    Jessie B.

    Alonso grabbed us as we walked upand tried to get us to come back for a vacation club presentation. He took us to El Patron where he got us drinks and said he checked us in and it would be a 20 min wait. As we waited he wanted to sign us up for a presentation. When we declined, he left in a huff. We went to see where we were on the list but was told we couldn't eat there without Alonso. 1hour of our Saturday wasted . Avoid this timeshare trap restaurant

    Octopus and shrimp tacos

    Octopus and shrimp tacos The octopus was soft and chewy and so was the shrimp. It came with 3 different salsas. The tortillas ripped pretty easily though I had to end up using a fork and knife

    After landing in Puerto Vallarta, we decided to grab a bite before heading to our Airbnb. I'm…read moreclearly writing this review after our Mexico trip, and thinking about all the tacos we have had, I don't think this is the "best" place. We ordered quite a bit: Margaritas (they had a buy 2, get 1 free special), calamari, guacamole, ceviche, and baja shrimp tacos. The shrimp tacos were tasty but served on a radish instead of a traditional tortilla. This was unexpected but okay, especially since it reduced my carb intake, lol. Service was quick. It's outdoor seating, that is covered, and there was a nice breeze. The restaurant is very cute, with great decor. Bathrooms were clean!

    This is one of favorite places to have dinner, year after year. It is located near our resort and…read moreeasily with walking distance. The atmosphere is absolute chill, no over bearing waitstaff but you always feel like you are taken care of while you are there. Our waiter is Mauricio who is an absolute superstar. You think it, and he is one the way with it. The preparation of the food is top notch, pulpo is done to perfection and is a good size entree, the molcajete is enormous with individual flavors all presenting themselves while you eat, and did I mention it is served somewhere molten lava. There are multiple areas to dine, outside in the garden area, inside(with air conditioning) or at the bar. Staying in Nuevo Vallarta, make this a stop for dinner
