    We came by to try the tostadas and got the aguachile and combinada tostadas. Both were pretty good but I preferred the combinada with smoked marlin, shrimp and octopus better. The smoky sauce they serve on top is excellent and it's a great stop for seafood!

    La Tia has now become our first stop when we travel to Puerto Vallarta. We have now been here several times in the past two years and it's the way we begin our stay. The food is incredible, to begin with. Our favorite dish is the Aguachile De Camarones. The sauce it comes with is rich, deep, and spicy. It's absolutely delicious. We also enjoy the Tastada Ceviche and the Marlin Soup. Tortillas are homemade and very light, perfect for any dish to make a taco. My wife is vegetarian and they were happy to accommodate her diet with mushrooms sauteéd in their amazing sauce (this should be a regular menu item). We have now got to know the owner and chef who goes by the nickname "Chicken". He knows us now when we arrive and makes us feel like part of his family. This restaurant is not only a gem, but it's also magical. You immediately feel part of the real Mexico and the food is authentic and amazing as one could imagine. It's close to the airport, but off the beaten path a bit, but it is worth seeking out for an incredible meal. I highly recommend La Tia to anyone.

    Tostada Combinada

    The place was packed, but I've had better food and service. I asked for Coke Zero, got regular coke. Then I had the Ceviche and Combinada tostadas...lastly, I asked for a Cueritos tostada, but got another Combinada. They didn't adjust my ticket and after two mistakes, I asked for check. The ceviche is anything but, tastes more like tuna and mayo smeared on a tostada. Definitely not the traditional ceviche! It seems like it's the only seafood place around the area so maybe that's why all the hype ‍

    Yum yum. They don't speak any English but are super nice people serving tasty seafood in a hole in a wall setting. I highly recommend it. 1) Aguachile raw shrimp mixed with octopus - yum. The seafood was very fresh but I'd probably skip the scallop. $10 2) grilled shrimp tacos - yes!! $2 3) ceviche tostada - Skip $0.75 4) fried fish taco - just ok

    Nice local spot. Hidden gem. The fish tacos were amazing and so were the salsas. Loved the green salsa (cucumber based) and the chipotle style sauce. If I ever come back to Puerto Vallarta I will be coming here. They take credit cards.

    The marlin tacos are absolutely amazing. The staff was extremely polite and helpful. Fresh salsas paired well with the tacos as well. This place is an absolute must for people wanting great food!

    I had a marlin tostada (ok 2)

    Get the Marlin tacos. It is probably the favorite thing I have eaten in all of Mexico, and I eat a lot of tacos.

However, as me and my friends (it was 4 of us) were leaving the restaurant, our waiter chased us down claiming we did not tip enough. Here's a note from my friend detailing more of what happened: "It was 150 pesos which is a little more than 10% of the total. In Mexico, 10% is completely customary, especially for tourist. Locals will give even less and typically leave only about 50 pesos. I don't know if he was expecting for us to give him more just because we're used to giving 15 or even 20% at a time but I always do at least 10. If it's one of the really nice restaurants where they take care of absolutely everything then I do get more than that but this was just a normal place And I did fold the bills because I clipped it into the checkbook, so there is a chance he thought it was just 50. But to flip out and say it's not enough that he deserves more or just to take it away is crazy in my opinion." We may return, but this really turned a perfect visit into a not so great one in the end. The 3/5 is for food and service, would've been 5/5 had we not been stopped as we were leaving for not "tipping enough".

I was placed by the glass for the view. (It can be requested, but not expected.) The martinis were great. I got the fried goat cheese and the ham & chicken croquettes. My party of 3 went to just me, so that was enough. It would have been nice to try some other things, but it was my last night in PV and what I got was satisfying. Live music was playing throughout my evening. First, just a guitarist and then, 2 others joined him. Great vibe and wonderful food. Just right for my last night.

We came here as a party of 4 for my friend's 40th birthday around 6:30 and caught the most amazing sunset. They had a professional photographer take a complimentary photo for us. The service was impeccable, so welcoming and sweet! All of our dishes were so good. We ordered: octopus, seafood croquette, egg potato, potatoes brava, asparagus, white sangria. The octopus was so tender (maybe the best octopus dish that I've had) and the seafood croquette just melts in your mouth. There was not a dish that I did not like. For dessert we got the orange flan which was so yummy and delightful. and the chocolate lava cake. The sunset view was gorgeous! And the price was very reasonable - we got drinks, dinner and dessert, and the total came out to be $44 per person. I hope to be back!
