    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.

    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.

Everything started off great, but then as the evening went on things really turned sour and disappointing! We were offered a table on the beach. When we sat down, there were people using the public part, which is totally ok, but many of them were smoking marijuana, which was a factor that also ruined our experience. My children do not need to be around that when dining. If the restaurant knows the beach crowd is rowdy that's fine! Just warn us! Then as the night went on, a man and woman started fighting and wound up ripping each others clothes off. I and a few other attendees had to be the ones to get involved! No police presence at all. We did not finish our meal as it felt unsafe when they were fighting. We left our steaks and drinks half finished. There was no offer of a partial refund at all. "Oh that's a public part of the beach" is all they could say. What a waste. My children were exposed to this, we did not finish our food or drinks, and still had to pay the full $300 tab. Aside from this, the food was OKOKOK. MID-tier at best! Steak ($1,100 pesos) was tough. Tuna Poke was a terrible attempt and not tender at all. Oysters were extremely salty (not handled properly). AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Server was cool, and funny, he gets the 1 star, but management is terrible and unfriendly. Refuse to accept accountability or to offer ways to make amends. GO ELSEWHERE!

    This is always our go-to restaurant for sunset dinner on our first night in Puerto Vallarta…read more Consistently great service, delicious food and drinks, and a view that can't be beat. Our condo rental included a complimentary breakfast voucher good at El Dorado for each day of our stay. The breakfast and location on the beach is a perfect way to kick-off the morning. Also, I have to give a huge shout-out to the manager of the restaurant. He's amazing and always greets us with a smile and kind words. When we arrived toward the end of breakfast service today, they weren't able to accommodate us due to a large party they were setting up for. Rather than turn us away, the manager walked us to the restaurant next door and asked them to honor our vouchers. Now that's how you do it!. Stellar service!! We keep coming back here year after year and can highly recommend El Dorado!
