Had the chilaquiles con bistec y salsa verde! So good! And the juices were great. Would def go again!

A must. Make reservations. Do it now. Get rooftop (4th floor) I could write a book about this place, but don't want tell you what to expect or build things up, just go there! Went tonight for my dads 70th birthday it was everything we could have wanted, and after we left we agreed we are going back Tomorrow for dinner! It was too good! read more

This place was amazing with great customer service. We enjoyed everything and hope to come back.

It's a varitable epicurean delight. A doctor friend suggested this quaint, intimate and romantic gourmet restaurant. The price, quality, atmosphere and service are outstanding. read more

Excellent food and even better service. Flavorful food: try the Azteca soup. Waiters could not have been more kind and accommodating. We appreciated the extras that were shared with us: a lime grapefruit & tequila palette cleanser and plantain dish. Definitely sit on the balcony to escape the street and enjoy some delicious food. read more

This restaurant is an example of why I prefer Yelp to Trip Advisor because I found it on Yelp and Trip Advisor downplayed it. The food and drink were fantastic with free shots of a tequila and ice drink and mango cheese croquettes. The guacamole made at table was some of the best we've had and the calamari was tender and delicious. My wife had the tuna that was great. I had the shrimp in a mole that was incredible and I don't usually choose shrimp. For dessert we had a lemon flavored sphere filled with a pastry cream that was perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

We got pulled of the street and were just going to have a drink, then checked on Yelp and saw the good reviews so ordered Aztec soup, a salad with apples oranges and pecans, and guacamole. It was all great, as were the drinks. Great service. read more

Aztec soup - the thin broth was so good and velvety. Presentation made you feel fancy! Oyster app - everyone raved and really enjoyed them. Pork shank - huge portion. Looked like the leg of a goat. Shrimp stuffed - 4 large shrimp Lemon fish Stuffed tenderloin Ravioli It took me waaaaay too long to write this review. I just remember the food being good and I'd certainly go back. We went during the afternoon and I think they had just opened so our waiter was incredibly attentive and friendly! read more

Excellent food, great service, definitely worth stopping in. Biggest suggestion is listen to your waitor on their specialties. He was right about trying dishes that you won't find everywhere else. read more

Great place! Ask to sit on the top floor or the terrace If you can. The made room for my group of 7 without a reservation and no more than a 5 minute wait. The food was amazing (the chicken and flank steak has a kick to it). They bring you these little free apprised things which is great and pretty fast service! There is quite a few steep stairs if you are with someone who may not be able to access those stairs. Enjoy! read more

Almost hate to give them 5 stars (as I want to be able to score a reservation in the future). But gotta be honest, they are more than worthy. The owner met us at the lower level, recognized us from a year ago and whisked us to the best seat in the house (top level patio). The server was very knowledgeable, articulate, and provided phenomenal service. The food was excellent - steak & chili for me - my wife had the pork shank. Can't go wrong with anything here. Save this place for your last night in PV to end on a high note. read more

What a great find. Best meal we had in our 8 days in PV. Excellent fusion of traditional Mexican and international flavors. Service was fast, friendly, and gracious from all of the staff who visited our table. Our meal started with complimentary appetizers that were similar to arancini but lighter. Table side guacamole was spectacular and the Diablo margaritas were tasty. All our entrees were great but the highlights were the portobello chicken and the sea bass. Nice views from the top floor (wind and rain pushes us away from the windows). Well worth the trip downtown. read more

Found this great dinner spot while strolling around. What a great find for us. Calamari was a great start followed by my wife's SeA bass that was very tasty and well prepared. My pork shank....what can I say but awesome. The 4th floor dining area is perfect for a sunset dinner and the entire staff was welcoming. Prices were very reasonable We enjoyed introducing them to Eric Claptons Layla which tHey played over their speakers. read more

Tasty! The place was a bit hard to spot and when we found it...tiny inside. The staff very friendly and attentive. We had a seat upstairs and it seemed like the staff was hovering the entire time. Food was very good. The ladies at the table next to us were also overjoyed with their meal. If you are spending a week or so in town, be sure to check the place out. read more

We found this place on yelp and decided to check it out for our last night in PV. We had a group of 5 and they accommodated us immediately on the upstairs balcony. It was spacious and the breeze kept us cool throughout our dinner. We started with the chorizo fundido, mushroom fundido, ribs, and guacamole. All delicious as expected. We got a pitcher of sangria which was perfectly made with red wine, diced apples and orange. For dinner we got vegetarian and chicken fajitas, chicken portabello, green tomatillo enchiladas and filet mignon. This place offers amazing food and impeccable service. We all agree it was our favorite meal of the trip. The owner is also amazing. He greets you and tells you once you arrive you are now part owner as well. Very nice touch. They also have free wifi. read more

This place is in central, next to the Park Hidalgo. We took our 5 year olds and they were really accommodating. We got a rooftop table, 3 flights up, and were able to enjoy the view while we dined. The food is amazing. We ordered fried oysters, Aztec soup, pork shank mole and the sea bass in truffle cream sauce. The kids stole the soup from us...amazing flavor (especially if you add the spicy sauce & onions they provide). The kids also kept dipping their bread in all the sauces in our meals. In hindsight, we should've ordered actual food for them instead of spaghetti! The wait staff is friendly and so amazing. They didn't have juice outside of orange, so they offered to fresh make agua fresca for our kids. After dinner we walked over to the Park Hidalgo to see the local entertainment and walk the food stalls. Everything there also looked amazing. We all had a great time! read more

The restaurant is family owned and the owner herself is often there helping and talking with guests. Everyone on staff was s extremely friendly and helpful. I ordered the fried oysters for and appetizer. The oysters were very flavorful and the quantity was perfect as a start to the meal. I ordered the special, Sea Bass with rice for a main course. The Sea Bass filet was a large portion and was very flavorful. The rice was an excellent compliment to the fish, light and fluffy, and was also very flavorful. Everything tasted extremely fresh and the portions were plentiful. I highly recommend visiting Laylas during a visit in PV. It will not disappoint.!! read more

We had a great rooftop view and the best chicken asado I've ever had. The chicken came with an amazing brown salsa. The robalo was also pretty impressive. We will definitely be coming back here again soon! read more

it's a boutique restaurant with a great chef who personally attended us! We loved 'em!!

The location is just slightly off the beaten track, close to the Malecon. There are multiple floors and we ate on the balcony. We had the entire balcony to ourselves. Great views, fabulous breeze. Five star for location and ambience. The food was good but closer to 3.75 stars. I had the filet mignon and the dish as a whole was super tasty. The steak was more cooked than I would have liked. The chef came out personally to make sure our meals were to our liking. I'm too nice and didn't give the critical feedback he was inviting. The service was stellar but perhaps a little too much hovering, although we were there only customers on that floor. That said, I was pleased and glad I ate there. Would recommend it! read more

This was one of my best meals in Puerto Vallarta so far this trip. Shrimp cook to perfection and I do not like shrimp. The table next to us had the sea bass look so good they said best meal on their trip. I had the flank steak so good cooked just right med-rare. I miss flank steak in the states. Service so friendly and attentive but did not hover. I am gushing and it is worth it read more

the food is straight fire! only reasonably priced place I could get a steak properly prepared rare No ac but thats the cost of gorgeous outdoor seating read more

We really enjoyed our visit to Layla's tonight. The service was excellent -- we were never rushed, but were never waiting for anything either. Table-side guacamole was fine. We each had a salad, and for our entrees my wife had the sea bass with truffle cream asparagus sauce, while I had the pork shank. Delicious! Tequila for dessert :-) The hospitality desk at our hotel had never heard of Layla's before... we will be sure to let them know it's worth a recommendation. read more

This was the perfect ending to a long day of traveling. Great hosts, waiters, chef, staff! The food was awesome, would have liked a side of beans and rice with my shrimp enchiladas but they were the best I've ever had. Drinks were good and the free shots were awesome! The owners are very caring and compassionate about their customers, their service and food. This place is a go back to place for sure and for many years! read more

This place is amazing! Service was timely and friendly, food was fantastic (I got the Peurco Barracha), and drinks were good too! (The Ginger Margarita and Cucumber Margarita were both amazing.) If I am back in the area I will come back here. read more

I was surprised when Uber dropped us in front of Layla's--the street level entrance is meh. Don't turn around, walk up to 2nd or, better yet, 4th floor and enjoy the tasty food and great service. We started with a devil margarita and Chilean Chardonnay followed by mummy shrimp and chicken fajitas. The prices were very reasonable for a great dinner. Note: We didn't try it, but the lamb shank ordered by another table looked awesome. read more

Had a great meal here of arrachero someone else had the lobster enchilada and gnocchi and everything was delicious. Service excellent

We had dinner at Layla's during our visit to Puerto Vallarta last week. I wish we had discovered this gem of a restaurant earlier in the week. We had a group of six and were seated on a beautiful 3rd story balcony overlooking the hills & cathedrals of PV & off to the right the malecon during sunset. It was a warm and beautiful evening and I started with a Diablo margarita. It was the most delicious margarita I've ever had spicy with that delicious red sugar rim and little jalapeño and lime garnish floating on top. I love a good cocktail and this was probably one of my lifetime favorites. Next we tried the fried wasters which comes in individual spoon with two little toppings for the oyster, they were absolutely amazing! Also wonderful for the Aztecs soup and a little pork style tacos and tiramisu for dessert. We cannot wait to return to Layla's next year for at least two or three meals! Until then I will be dreaming of that margarita Diablo! read more

GO HERE!!! We kinda of stumbled on Layla's our first night in PV while walking around the malacon and looking for somewhere to eat. We had been given a couple suggestions of places to eat by our concergie but we spotted Layla's just by chance. Being it was just shy of 11pm, we thought we'd get turned around but they sat us right down on the second level patio. The waiter was gracious and so welcoming. They served a mini tequila gemolata to start as a palette cleaner and it was tasty. Then we had the guacamole which they make tableside which was great. I ordered the Pork Shank which was HUGE and it was sooo tasty. The tequila shrimp was also very good. The waiter said the view was even better from the 4th level rooftop so we came back at the end of the trip and ate up there. The view and food was amazing. We eat dine quite a bit in SF and my son is quite the foodie in Seattle and Layla's definitely could survive in either city. Solid restaurant all the way around. Excellent food, Great ambience and Terrific service. read more

We had a really great dinner at Layla's; but what made it special was the service we received from Cruise and the rest of the staff. We were celebrating a birthday, and they went out of their way to make the meal one to remember. read more

Lovely small restaurant. Great food. Tried it during restaurant week. Would go back even without restaurant week. Colombian food.

This was the best restaurant to stop by at. My family and I were walking around for a good restaurant with fresh food. I yelped places to eat and just decided to come here. The ambiance of this place is so cute, especially upstairs you have a view and the weather was perfect. The food was honestly some of the best food i've ever tasted, they served us a appetizer of dehydrated plantains and pico de gallo on the house which was so nice of them. The meals were large and delicious, and i'm still craving the guacamole from here. Definitely come here you will love it! read more

First time in PV. Right away great service, quick yet amazing. Felt welcomed right away, the chef even made me a meal I requested. Everything was delicious, order the oysters as an appetizer and coconut salmon for lunch. Beautiful plating beautiful execution. Great variety of everything. 10/10 stars. read more

We arrived into Puerto Vallarta on Wednesday night. We went there because it was only 2 blocks away from our rental condo. Business was very slow on that weekday. When we walked in, the staff gave us a warm welcome. Our waiter was so friendly and attentive. He introduced us the catch of the day and their menu had a great varieties of seafood. Their food were outstandingly good. Would recommend anyone who stay in the Old Town of PV. read more
