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

I enjoyed the vibe, and the service was good. The crowd is 60+. Mostly expats. I was underwhelmed and honestly, disappointed by the food, unfortunately. I had very high expectations, given the recommendation. The fare is midwestern US with attempts toward flavor. Believe me I know what I'm talking about because I grew up in a food desert in the American Midwest. It's not Mediterranean. The meats are all undercooked (although they warn you) with liberal use of butter, salt, and cheese throughout. This is like an Olive Garden. I enjoyed my dinner with friends, but won't return unless it's to the cute store.

On our last visit, we celebrated Father's Day here with a spectacular sunset dinner. You just feel the vacation vibe when you walk up the steps and enter a beautifully decorated space with incredible ocean views. The servers are all professional and dressed nicely without feeling uptight. They have continued to build up around Sufi, but thankfully this remains perfectly entact. Highlights: custom painted menus, unique amuse bouche (nice touch), tortilla soup poured tableside, amazing shrimp starter, and fresh fish of the day. Don't miss dessert - the sorbets were fresh and the chocolate cake was amazing.

This cute little spot.. you would never know the food was phenomenal. It was downstairs essentially from where we were staying. They sometimes have live music too, although we didn't' get to see this. The grill has exceptional service and offers poolside dining during the day. It also has AMAZING beach views. Each morning, we enjoyed espressos before our walks.​ The food is outstanding. The steak was a highlight--perfectly cooked and flavorful. I tried the pesto salmon, and while the flavors were delightful, the salmon was slightly overcooked. The tempura was a standout--crispy, light, and not at all greasy. The bruschetta was also delicious. They have a huge menu and plenty to explore if you're staying for a while. Note: they are closed on Tuesdays! We were bummed about that, but happy to have had it one night during our stay!

We have enjoyed many great meals here. Thursday night, however, was a huge miss. Our party of 4…read morearrived at 6 pm for our reservation. Our order was placed at 6:15. A bottle of wine and our appetizer arrived promptly. The salad quickly followed. Then we waited. And watched the place get very busy. And waited. At 8:00 I called our waiter over and politely asked if our entrees were near. I was assured they were. At 8:30, I caught his attention and asked (with much frustration) what was going on. At 8:45 (2.5 hours after ordering), I told him to cancel our entrees and bring the check. At 9:00 pm we received our food. I first told him to take it back, but then relented. THREE hours after arriving. It's not the miss, it's the response. No one seemed to care at any point. The GM or chef didn't show up with an apology. No entrees were comped. This also happened to us last Valentine's Day when they were swamped. I told them I would never be back and promptly cancelled our reservations for today, Valentine's Day 2026. We have friends visiting over the next months and have cancelled plans with them as well.

Thinking not since on April 29th nothing was packed or taken apart. Sadly it might be my first and last time since as of now he is not sure if he wants to reopen or take a long vacation. The food here is great as all the other reviews have said, we got to watch him make all the food by himself and chat with him a little. He gave me a couple recipes for some of dishes. I can also see he cooks by eye and with his heart so his recipes are not exact but I got the idea. I was hoping to come back here again and will of course look to see if this place pops up anywhere else but I won't hold out hope

They also have a green juice that is a great lil drink to get with your breakfast along with some yummy OJ. I also got the Chilequeles, they were a 3 out of 5.
