    Avoid this place! The waiter was shady. The drink prices are not on the menu. We were misled when we asked the price of a drink and when the bill came it was double the price! The rude waiter played it off as if we had ordered the "big" cup. He seemed really irritated at any question we asked about the menu. Most of our food was ok not great, a soup I ordered was gross. I couldn't eat more than 2 bites. The only nice thing about it was the location however there are other restaurants on the same beach which I'm sure would offer much better food and service. We plan to go back to Yelapa because it was such a beautiful spot but will never eat at Fanny's again. It was a total rip off!!

    Different selection of hot sauces plus fresh pico de gallo and hot salsa

    A fun atmosphere with yummy food. Our server was kind and attentive. Prices were great. We had guacamole which I think was the best guacamole on our trip so far. I had chicken tacos and my husband had the grilled lobster(massive!!!) decent margaritas, cheap beer, clean bathroom, comfortable beach chairs. Oh also the beans were phenomenal my mouth is watering now thinking about them.

    This place is a must when visiting Puerto Vallarta. Yelapa is a 45 minute boat ride from the main beach area of old Puerto Vallarta. You can only get to it by boat. Fanny's serves the coldest $2 beer on the entire beach. Excellent lobster excellent Daiquiris and Margarita's. The service is first rate. Just about anything you could want after 45 minute boat ride to this amazing paradise. Definitely take the parasailing trip around the bay, then celebrate with a mango margarita. Then head through town, and walk up to the waterfall where you are greeted by more ice cold $2 Coronas. We were treated very well, and although you get hit up by beach vendors, keep in mind that this is their lively hood, so don't be an ugly Gringo and disrespect them if they don't accept your offer for goods. Be fair, and you will have a great afternoon.

    A great place to have a special dinner outside of the crowded touristy area of Puerto Vallarta…read morewalking distance from mismaloya beach. We took a 20 minute Uber ride to have a beach day outside of zona Romantica where we were staying. We decided to leave because we were hungry and realized that one of the restaurants we bookmarked was just a 10 minute walk and decided to check it out. We were there celebrating a special birthday so we wanted to have one nice dinner and this is the place we chose. We got there around 5 PM and we were the only ones there on a Saturday but it was off-season (Aug) so PV in general was pretty quiet. We were welcome by a friendly man who took us to the top floor with a mountain beautiful view which actually was a nice change from the ocean. The greenery was beautiful. This restaurant is known for their seafood and boy was it fresh. They don't have a specific menu, but rather they bring out a tray of their fresh selection of the day. Everything was beautiful and the shrimp was gigantic. We opted for the red snapper, lobster and the large shrimp. Everything was cooked to perfection and was absolutely delicious. Oh, and I have to make a point of mentioning their margaritas. Fresh fruit margaritas... So yummy. We tried the mango margarita with fresh mangoes and strawberry margarita as well. I just love drinks made with fresh fruits. I think it was my favorite margarita of the entire trip. I do highly recommend you check this place out. The food is phenomenal and the service is wonderful. The 20 minute Uber ride cost about US$15 so well worth it, especially if you do a beach day and make a day of it.

    The ambiance is a beautiful experience but the food & service are even better. I'm very picky about…read morechicken but I'm not a big seafood or red meat eater. I was very pleasantly surprised how juicy it was, even without the tropical sauce to pour over. All of my family also raved about their filet mignon & red snapper. We all enjoyed the sides a lot too. It's a little hidden gem! We will be back next time we are in Vallarta.

    the food from here made my friends and family extremely ill. We were severely ill for 3 days…read morestraight. I sent a text explain this on Whatsapp to the same person I placed the takeout order with and they read it but the did not respond. This left us feeling like not only do they not practice safety food standards, they don't care if their food makes customers sick. I would be very off-put if they choose to respond on here instead of WhatsApp because that would show that they only care about public image and not their customers or their food hygiene. I just hope future customers are ready to be chained to the restroom after eating here! And by the way, we're positive THIS is the food that caused it La comida de este lugar enfermó gravemente a mis amigos y a mi familia. Estuvimos sumamente enfermos durante tres días seguidos. Le envié un mensaje por WhatsApp explicando esto a la misma persona con la que hice el pedido para llevar; lo leyeron, pero no respondieron. Esto nos dejó con la sensación de que no solo no cumplen con las normas de higiene y seguridad alimentaria, sino que tampoco les importa si su comida enferma a los clientes. Me parecería de muy mal gusto que decidan responder por aquí en lugar de WhatsApp, ya que eso demostraría que solo les importa su imagen pública y no sus clientes ni la higiene de su comida. ¡Solo espero que los futuros clientes estén listos para quedarse encadenados al baño después de comer aquí! Y, por cierto, estamos completamente seguros de que fue ESTA comida la que lo causó.

    Barcelona Tapas was easily one of the highlights of my trip to Puerto Vallarta…read more I came for the rooftop views and sunset, but the entire experience exceeded my expectations. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every dish I ordered felt thoughtfully prepared. The service was exceptional. The staff made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived, and to top it off they surprised me with a complimentary dessert. It was such a thoughtful gesture that made an already great evening even more memorable. During dinner, there was a live flamenco performance that completely elevated the atmosphere. Watching the dancers as the sun set over the bay created one of those travel moments I'll remember for a long time. If you're visiting Puerto Vallarta and want incredible food, attentive service, and one of the best rooftop dining experiences in the city, Barcelona Tapas is absolutely worth the visit. I'll be back the next time I'm in Puerto Vallarta.

    I went to Barcelona Tapas each time I visit Puerto Vallarta. I made reservations for 6:30, so I…read morecould experience the sunset. It did not disappoint. It is outdoor seating. 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.
