    Pina Colada is so good!!!!
    Lynn W.

    We have been coming to LaCasa de Mi Compadre for 7 years! Victor and Marcela are beautiful people, and the food and drinks they serve are nothing short of fantastic!! I can't recommend this place enough!

    Excellent service and the best food and Margherita so far!! The Margherita was excellent, even the chicken fingers our kids ate were excellent!

    Victor and Miguel are super friendly. The garlic shrimp was so fresh and good that we got second plate. Mushroom for appetizer also had a lot of flavor.

    Best Margaritas and shrimp taco's in PV. Happy hour 4-5
    Scott A.

    It's great when you stumble upon a place, it's even better if you keep going back, it is amazingly delicious. Happy hour is from 4 to 5, 2 x 1 Margaritas, hand made, no mix used, by Victor or his wife Marcila. No salt, just the most amazing nectar of the gods. Our dinner. In a few years we have tried most all of the items on the menu. We have yet to have something we have not enjoyed. La Casa has a new cook, Tony, he prepared Marcilas recipes to perfection. Mahi Al Pastor- Fresh grilled pineapple paired with fresh Mahi seasoned with pastor spices. Rice pilaf, tortillas, and salad with herbed vinaigrette. Shrimp Tacos - paper thin breading on large cleaned shrimp. Shredded cabbage, carrots, red sauce, fresh warmed grilled tortilla, and large shrimp. Shrimp Alhijo - Amazing. Garlic, spice, Alhijo sliced peppers, cleaned shrimp. Served with rice, salad, and grilled bread. Frozen Lime pie - cookie crust, frozen limey goodness, drizzle of chocolate. Victor's sense of humor may not be for everyone, but we enjoy it, he is hilarious. Will be back soon!

    A lot of entertainment & food was good makes the food the way you want it just tell him before you start making it friendly tequila very smooth I don't even drink and I was able to drink.

    First night here was amazing, our return trip not so much We showed up ar happy hour , 2 for 1 margaritas , we ordered fish and chips and dessert. The owner was sitting with two women and I heard him say Happy hour was over but he would give them two more anyway. We ordered 3 rounds all between 4 and 5 which was the advertised time. When we got our check it was full price for all 3, when asked he said he didn't know what time it was, he then said we only ordered two during happy hour even though he didn't know what time it was supposedly. He then said that only cheap people like those two ladies come drink during happy hour and he times their orders, he insinuated we were cheap as well even though we spent a lot of money the night before and left a great tip. Not sure what happened from one night to the next but we will never return which sucks because we fell in love with the place

    They make fantastic food! I absolutely love this place, the atmosphere, the owners and their cooking. Since discovering this place, we came here to eat at least once a day, our entire vacation. I am a vegetarian, and it's never easy to find a great selection of good vegetarian dishes while being in Mexico. Victor (the owner) and his wife came up with such good food that I can't get enough of it. Everything is fresh, high quality, creative and super tasty. I will always come here to eat when visiting Puerto Vallarta. Plus Victor is a unique and funny character, he reminds me of Anthony Quinn. You get a show too

    Service is awesome. We were treated like we were special guests. Food was great and it was very reasonable.

    My lovely husband and I came across this whole in the wall place, and let me just say that not only did it NOT DISAPPOINT but blew me away!!! Victor the owner was a complete astounding person to be around, his character may seem very intense but he's a super sweet man!!!! Everything from the food to the drinks were made from scratch, and honestly walking into his restaurant was the best decision I made that day! Id give this place 10 stars if I could! The Chicken and Mushrooms, and Lemon pie is a must to try!!! Thank you Victor

    Best Cielo Rojo! (Aka michelada with Clamato)

    Bar La Playa is a MUST first-stop when visiting Zona Romantica…read more On our most recent trip to Puerto Vallarta, we wanted to spend a day in this part of the region. After looking up good places to go, Bar La Playa came up- and I'm sure glad it did! First, it's easy to get to if you're coming from North. Our Uber was easily able to drop us off without getting stuck in gridlock traffic that can affect certain roads of this area. Additionally, the location isn't a high-traffic area for tourists. That meant we were able to walk up and immediately find seats. Second, the service was top notch. I didn't get the bartenders name, but he was very welcoming, friendly, hospitable and spoke English. Just an overall cool dude and was glad to support his business. Third, the drinks were great. Finally, we were drinking 'real' drinks, not the watered down sugary stuff at the hotel. We were very satisfied with the taste of the drinks. Fourth, the prices are really good. Mexico has gotten expensive and this was a sigh of relief. You can have a great time here without feeling like you paid an arm and a leg. I highly-highly recommend making Bar La Playa your first stop when coming to this area. You're going to get great service, great drinks and all at a price that is reasonable and fair.

I wasn't aware the shrimp were fried. They were good but not quite my expectations I also ordered this refreshing, no alcohol passion fruit drink that was good but very very sweet.

    If you're looking for a lively, budget-friendly spot in Puerto Vallarta to grab drinks, Cervecería…read moreChapultepec is definitely worth checking out--especially for a late-night stop or casual night cap. The atmosphere is upbeat and energetic, with loud music that really sets a fun, social tone. They also have plenty of seating, including outdoor options, which is perfect for enjoying the warm Puerto Vallarta evenings. The biggest draw here is the drinks. Everything is very affordable, making it easy to try a few different options. The mango and tamarindo frozen margaritas were standouts--super refreshing, packed with flavor, and exactly what you want in a tropical setting. They were easily the highlight of the visit. Service was decent--nothing particularly memorable, but staff were friendly enough and service was fairly efficient considering how busy it can get. Overall, this isn't a fancy spot, but that's part of the charm. It's a great place to relax, enjoy good drinks without spending too much, and soak in a fun, casual vibe. Perfect for ending the night on a high note.

    This is a GREAT spot. I went for martini Monday (85 pesos martinis all night) and ordered a house…read moremartini to start. They use tanqueray as their house gin which is unusual but a pleasant surprise as it actually happens to be my preferred brand. I didn't have high hopes for the martini - I find that outside of major U.S. cities places end up putting in way too much vermouth - and it actually ended up being fantastic. It didn't taste too different from what I would make at home which is probably the best thing I could say about a martini (for my own personal taste). I tried a fruitier one - the Gigi - as my second and final drink. It was good but I'm just not a fruity drink person. I just wasn't equipped to handle another standard martini lol. The ambiance is phenomenal - it was both casual and comfortable yet classy. The crowd was much older than I expected although not in a bad way at all. There were lots of expats in their 50s and 60s. I was worried it would be a rowdy rooftop and by contrast it was actually a very chill vibe. Only complaint is that the bathroom is outside of the venue down the stairs and you need a key to enter, which was a bit annoying bc I wanted to use the restroom before I left and I forgot to ask for the key on my way out. Small annoyance and certainly wouldn't prevent me from going back.
