    Pulpo tacos

    Delicious! Loved the look of the restaurant. Food was delicious; my mouth still waters thinking about the sauces with the grilled octopus. Our server was wonderful, with lots of recommendations for us.

    If you are ever in Nuevo Vallarta this restaurant is a MUST. Excellent service, food, and ambiance. We were blown away. Our family comes every year we will absolutely be back! Also just want to mention our waiter Kevin was incredible!

    This is NOT a taco shop or one of the loud music with 2 for 1 drink kind of place. A little upscale, beautiful lighting, bar and nice outside tables. Had the pork belly tacos and a salad - nicely presented and good quality food. I'm sure the rest of the menu is just as wonderful. Nice server - my first one was not a happy guy but then things changed and I got Carlos who is. I love it when I have happy waitstaff. I'd certainly come back again. So pleasant, mellow but with enough music to keep it upbeat and fun. They have meats, seafood, salads, and a full bar. Such a treat to be there.

    We found this place through a search on Eater and discovered it was one of "25 Essential Restaurants in Puerto Vallarta". We were also intrigued to check out a restaurant in Nueva Vallarta, as we were staying in PV. We LOVED it! The service was great, the food and drinks were amazing, and the value of Loma 42 is on point. We called ahead for a reservation for a party of 8. We were seated immediately upon arrival. Here are some of the highlights from our selections: *Suntanita (cocktail) While I wasn't a fan of this, my husband loved it. He also enjoys mezcal and I do not, and I think raicilla may be similar to mezcal *The 2 Compadres (cocktail) My husband enjoyed this *Classic wood-fired octopus I really loved this and would highly recommend. The octopus was cooked very nicely and the flavors in the dish complimented it quite well *Low-temperature cooked picanha beef My husband loved this and I tried some and did as well. It was cooked excellent! I'd highly recommend checking out Loma 42. They have a great atmosphere and would be nice with a group of people celebrating something special, or just for a fun date night!

    Pork belly tacos

    Returned for a second visit with Linda B (see below) and also brought my girlfriend this time. It was as good if not better! We had the pork belly tacos to start, the seafood lasagna, the burger with chorizo, and the picanha steak. The pork belly tacos and the picanha steak are musts. The seafood lasagna was good, but it was a tad rich. I'm glad we were sharing everything and had a variety. Such a great find in Nuevo! Seriously the picanha steak was life-changing-good. Shout out to Darwin for his awesome service and fantastic recommendations from the menu. This is officially on our regular dinner restaurant list.

    Home made Avocado ice cream! Beyond!!!

    This is the most innovative and delicious restaurant in Nuevo Vallarta if not the entire Bahia. The farm to table fresh ingredients from the back yard, beautiful presentations, homemade bread and ice cream,.... The service was impeccable, Danny was knowledgeable and willing to satisfy our culinary curiosity. Do not leave without having the heirloom tomato salad and the avocado ice cream. We also ventured out to try the Kalamata olive ice cream and the almond. All home made. Can't wait to be back.

    Great spot in Nuevo. Restaurant is nice with a modern attractive interior. Menu has a nice variety of items from salads, burgers to pizza and pasta to tacos, steaks and specialties. Darwin is an attentive server who provided great menu suggestions. We had the octopus which was so tender and delicious. The fish was amazing and the flap meat steak tender and full of flavor. For desert the homemade ice cream. The presentation is very nice and the recipes are unique. We will definitely be back. Oh and the music they play is nice too. Not too loud like some of their neighbors. It's a sophisticated place with a menu to match. We'll definitely be back.

    Generous portions in both the entries and the drinks.  Taste and quality are top notch.

    Followed others reviews and tried this place - we were SO glad. Service and quality were wonderful. The chef is creative and inspired. Unique flavor palates. Atmosphere is classy and comfortable. Chef accommodates diet restrictions and doesn't sacrifice flavor or presentation.

    Impressed and then some!…read more A bit skeptical, as it was under new management, but Senõr Carrera and his partner, the chef, took such great care of us and did an AMAZING job from presentation to flavor to making us feel welcome and appreciated. (Disclaimer: Please overlook any gringa estupida Spanglish grammar errors.) Gracias amigos! This place is a hidden GEM. The prices were off-the-charts reasonable and the lobsters were HUGE! Being from the Midwest, mì amigas lobsters would've been close to double, if not more, what we paid. It's not those tiny tails like you get at red lobster either, that jumbo shrimp rival for size. These lobsters were legit! I've seen smaller chihuahuas... We had a party of 6 and no one complained about a single dish, flavor, spice, drink. Sr. Mauricio was fun and attentive. Guacamole was good. Calamari was amazing! Please get it. Best several of us has ever eaten. Not over cooked and spongy. Just fantastico. Perfecto! Get in a taxi and go there. Now. Then go again. Your stomach AND pocketbook will having a full on fiesta! It's colorful and has murals and is just a beautiful experience. We have 3 more days here and we might even go again. We will see what the universe tells us we need in México! Olé!

    This place is nothing short of amazing! 1) to die for food 2) personable & attentive staff 3) clean…read morerestaurant Chef Leo kept amazing us with every plate.. with a party of 12 everyone was eating off each others plate enjoying each savory bite! I believe our waiters name was Maio(?) very friendly and attentive and personable. Claudio's Place is a must when visiting PV. We'll definitely be going back!
