    We stopped here for a quick bite and a drink. We split the fish tacos which were delicious. Drinks were tasty as well and service was quick and attentive. The view from the second level was amazing. Very relaxing here!

    The mummy (bacon & gouda wrapped) shrimp is to die for. Staff is super polite and you can't beat the view from the upper level. Perfect lunch spot'

    The service was outstanding, they were very attentive but not obtrusive. The ambiance was kicked back and chilled, just what I wanted for my birthday. The food was amazing. I had the Cajon Lobster which had so much flavor that I'm still thinking about it. My spouse loved the Cilantro Lobster! I would definitely recommend La Langosta Loca.

    This is our 2nd visit to La Langosta Loca and again the food was delicious. I ordered the Cilantro Shrimp with sautéed mushrooms and mashed potatoes. Excellent choice all the way around. Service was a little slow, but you can't beat the location.

    We decided to stop in because of the view on the beach but we come back because of the whole package. Food- delicious. Price- affordable. Service- attentive. Very fun.

    Our meals were both delicious, tuna with blue corn tacos and chicken fajitas. My passion fruit agua Fresca had real maracuya, was divine. Second floor view was great, and lovely breeze.

    If you are looking for a good view and good food this is the place to go. The weather helped a lot since the breeze was good which helped with the humidity. Service was fast. Total wait time for our food was less than 10mins. Definitely going back to try their different dishes they offer.

    Came here for drinks. Got the Miami Vice drink and a Malibu ginger ale. The Malibu did not taste like Malibu and I think they used sprite instead of ginger ale but it was still good. Beautiful place on the beach.

    We stopped for a margarita and a view and that's exactly what we got! The staff was thrilled to have us and the mariachi band came right to us and sang the song we requested, no questions asked. The chips and salsa were good and that marg was STRONG. Felt like we were really having the genuine Puerto experience. Stop here as you're walking by! You will not regret it.

    Really nice beach setting with an amazing view and quick access to the Malecon and the flea market within the PV Romantic Zone. We were welcomed by a very nice man at the door, we had three choices of seating, down stairs indoor, upstairs terrace or on the beach, we decided on the upstairs view point and it was amazing. You could over see the ocean front and the other actives along side the beach front. Before going in on the right side of the building you have an option to sit on a swing like chair at the walk up bar, not sure how smart or safe this is but looks fun, until you fall on you face from drinking and swinging. Setting 5 stars The staff was over all friendly, other than our main server ,he was very short in his responses and a bit lacking in customer service skills. On the other hand another waiter walked right up and was extremely friendly and attentive as you would expect within a highly touristy location. Staff 4 stars because of the other amazing gentlemen. The food, I ordered the Fish tacos cooked al pastor style. Wow they were amazing, I would highly recommend them, three tacos with a side of salsa. My wife ordered deep fried fish tacos, they were ok. We also ordered the guacamole, not impressed it was very bland, no pico de Gallo, cilantro, thankfully they did serve pico as a side with another salsa that saved the day. Our food came out fairly quickly. Lots of fresh seafood options. I had a Mango margarita, it was very good. Overall I would revisit this place but I would make sure that I would hand pick our next waiter.

    I think the reviews are spot on. It;s an average place. Great location the beach. We didn't wait for table. The food was fine. Lobster was small and they served frozen broccoli and veggies. I don't think we would go back but it was a nice evening. Reviews are right.

    Food was delicious ambience was incredibly beautiful and the company that I had beside me amazing. Everything was excellent

    I was walking along the beach when the ol' belly alerted me that it was feeling a bit neglected when I eyeballed La Langosta Loca which had been recommended by a friend so I decided to check it out and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. I was greeted and escorted to my table where I could literally plant my feet in the sand. I immediately ordered a Mango Margarita to quench my thirst whilst I waited for my Lobster Thermidor which was exceptional. La Langosta Loca wasn't offering 2 for 1 margaritas so I just had flan for dessert which was not only larger than I'm accustomed to but quite delectable

    Tostada de camaron y agua de maracuya. I got two tosdadas. So good.

    Server added a 15% gratuity to my bill. It's an annoying practice preying on tourists. The place is good enough but expensive.

    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. Finally, the Pesca del Dia was a fillet of snapper topped with mussels in pesto sauce and served over plantain puree--super tasty, though the pesto definitely overwhelmed any other flavors in this dish. Overall, the food here was all delicious and beautifully plated. The flavors were bold, the prices reasonable, and the service was super friendly too!

It turned out to be the highlight of our meal! It was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Not overcooked at all. It was delicious! Also their bone marrow appetizer was pretty tasty as well. 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!
