    Whole red snapper with fried garlic!
    Thuy C.

    Simply AMAZING! What's a fantastic place. Great service, best virgin strawberry daiquiris (according to my daughter and she has a virgin daiquiri every restaurant we go to on vacation). She asked me to try it and not gonna lie, it was delicious so I ended up order their margaritas (frozen and on the rocks and wow, they don't lie... the best in PV. For food we ordered seafood soup and whole red snapper! To die for! One of our favorite local spot in PV.

    Lunch with a view.

    We love Melissa's. I recommend if you are in Puerto Vallarta you go there. They welcome you like you are coming into their home. Christen was our waiter the day we were there. Say hi for us. Food is amazing, fresh fish, home made salsas. Great margaritas. We will be back!

    Tequila Shrimp

    The Tequila Shrimp plate was so good. The sauce and polenta was amazing! My friend tried a bite off my plate and she said it was orgasmic. I also ordered a non-alcoholic pina colada and it was really good too. Anna Lo took care of us!

    Yummy fish soup!

    The food and the service was excellent! We would definitely come back. The margaritas were delicious. The RED Snapper was to die for!! The fish soup was super flavorful.

    Mussel app. Not like a bucket full at home, grilled nicely. Infused with grilled flavor!

    Roof top was great to enjoy sax musical. Whole snapper with butter garlic was a treat. Fine tequila for sipping. Muscle app was flavor full. Service and walk in accommodated. Much appreciated the kind seating on the roof top

    Octopus

    A fantastic dinner experience. Diego made sure we were well taken care of. They have a nice open upstairs dining patio. We ordered mojitos and they were good. The food came and it was even better. Fresh cooked and to order. You gotta get the red snapper. So good. The octopus was very good as well. All of the food was amazing. Highly recommended!

    Food was delicious! We had the grilled red snapper and the mussels appetizer which was amazing!! Our waiter was so sweet and fun to talk to! The outdoor patio was wonderful and a great spot to view the parade of The Fiestas Guadalupanas.

    Shrimp ceviche

    Ugh, finally a GOOD sit down dinner spot in Puerto Vallarta that isn't overpriced. It seems that on our trip so far, most of the best food in PV has been the street food but sometimes you just want to sit down at a proper table yaknow without it being a tourist trap. Melissa's has phenomenal seafood, it really reminded us of Sayulita. Highly recommend: Fried whole red snapper Seafood soup Shrimp ceviche Plus the service is sooo friendly and they go the extra mile. If you are looking for good seafood that isn't overpriced, look no further!

    Red snapper and secret sauce on top is fiya!!

    It turned out; the potato salad was also the perfect compliment to the crispy red snapper.

    I went to Barcelona Tapas each time I visit Puerto Vallarta. I made reservations for 6:30, so I…read morecould experience the sunset. It did not disappoint. It is outdoor seating. 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.

    This was my favorite place in Puerto Vallarta! The view, the ambience, the service, the food, they…read morehave it all here! 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!
