Great food for an affordable price! The staff were attentive, made good food recommendations and checked on us regularly. They have ample seating and an extensive menu for breakfast or lunch lovers. Our food came out quickly and was delicious. The chilaquiles did not come with onions on top despite the photo, may be worth ordering them on top if you'd like them - the flavor was rich and tasty even without the onion. The paninis were good but there was more bread compared to the amount of filing. For the price I would highly recommend skipping the hotel brunch and making a trip here once or twice in your trip to Nuevo Vallarta. read more

Today we decided to try Moon Star Cafe after reading the reviews. I was torn between 3 to 4 stars because the food we had was very tasty and the service could not have been better. However, what I ordered, although delicious, was nothing like what was described on the menu. I ordered the chicken wrap with fries and it was described as slices of grilled chicken on a warm tortilla with bacon, cheese and lettuce. See the pictures below so you can see what I actually received. My husband's steak panini was very good but his side salad had no dressing, nor was dressing offered. He enjoyed the sauces that came on the side for the panini. read more

Moon Start always serves up tasty food. We make it a point to stop in for breakfast when we're staying at Paradise Resort. The good: The food is good and serving sizes are good. Not too much, but you won't leave feeling like you need more food. The services is always friendly and prompt. The exchange rate - as I recall, there's was one of the better ones in the area. The atmosphere is always nice in the mall. The meh and bad - nothing to report read more

I look forward to frequenting this breakfast place every year on our annual trip to Nuevo Vallarta! The food is always delicious, coffee strong, and the service attentive. Sure it's in a mall, so the ambiance is not ideal, but it works. Angel was our waiter on our most recent visit and we had a wonderful first meal to kick off 2024! read more

Moon Star Cafe - Cafe late, green juice - Salad Near Me - Nuevo Vallarta, NAY

Authentic, fresh, delicious. Come hungry, leave comatose! Great, quick and efficient service. Had the Chilaquiles Rojo y Verde con Frijoles y huevo. The Refried Beans are amazingly flavored and fresh. Had a turkey & onion omelette with the juiciest and sweetest fruitas: Pineapple and Canteloupe. Not a coffee drinker but their Caramel Macchiato was smooth, creamy and it came with a shot of Vanilla syrup, which initially, we thought was a shot of Tequila. They have all kinds of fresh juices. We went with the Green, which made you feel like you were drinking fresh cut herbs and fruit. Excellent location, especially if you're staying on the Paradise Village Beach resort. Overall, LOVED the food, location, service and will be back...after we wake up from being comatose. read more

One of our favorite breakfast places in Nuevo Vallarta. It's located in Paradise Plaza. The service is excellent. They food is great for breakfast. They have a varied selection and it tastes great. It is a bit weird that it's in a plaza. But it's worth a try. You won't regret it!! read more

My family has been going to Moon Star for about 20 years. We love going there for breakfast. We have breakfast there almost every morning during our vacation. Great value, great service, and great food. We will be back Alain next year! The staff is fabulous! read more

Reasonable prices for a pretty basic meal. Nothing fancy. Service was attentive and the food was OK. I had a breakfast burrito which was unremarkable. Pretty dry without much flavor. The hot salsa helped but the whole thing lacked inspiration. My wife had a basic egg, bacon and pancake breakfast which was good. Again, nothing remarkable except the bacon was cooked perfectly. read more

Wanted to not like this place. But staff turned around and became friendly. I had eggs, pancakes, and hash brown potatoes. The eggs were done just like I ordered sunny side up runny and that's I got perfect. The pancakes were excellent I think they had vanilla in them. read more

Good breakfast, service was excellent and prices were good. The only drawback is that you are sitting in a mall.

B-List. Basic. Nothing fancy. Food ok. Wife says coffee was pretty good. Service is prompt, friendly, generally accurate. If you are in a pinch and need some food, this is an ok spot. read more

Quite an awesome selection. Really a hidden gem in a pretty deserted shopping mall. This place is upstairs on the second level next to Nopalito's. you can sit inside the cafe part or out along the balcony overlooking the rest of the mall. They have their menu in Spanish and English and the prices are almost laughable they're so cheap. My boyfriend and I got coffee (one mocha and one cappuccino, steak and eggs (his with pancakes and mine with home fries) and the bill was like US$19. The selection of pancakes, waffles, egg dishes, and cold items were plentiful. If you couldn't find something to meet your dietary concerns then the problem is with you, not them. And without a doubt, the service is great. The waiters and bussers brought out and cleaned up the plates so quickly. As soon as I put my fork down to finish, there was a man standing by asking if he could take it away lol. read more

Tried this place as a suggestion from a friend who eats here every day on their annual vacation here, and am so glad we did. This place quickly became our favorite little off-resort eatery, and I will definitely return the next time we are in town. Service was excellent and so was the food. Loved both their breakfast menu, and the sandwiches we tried on the lunch menu. My only regret was waiting to try this place until the second half of our stay! read more

It was morning and I was walking by with my girlfriend trying to find a good place to eat breakfast while on vacation. I passed up Moon Star before because It was in the mall. So many other places should have good food and allow me to eat with a nice view right? . . . After all we are one vacation. But for some reason I gave in I guess because of my willingness to try new things or just they fact because it was close and the menu looked like it somewhat catered to vegetarians. Well we went and I just enjoyed everything! I had the spinach cheddar omelet and the Blueberry Waffle. Now the menu will say waffle topped with blueberries but I loved my blueberries inside and they did that for me no problem. It was great! The omelet was also very delicious and the service was great! I have gone back and will continue to go back. The price is low, the food is great! The only think they are lacking is the view. read more

So thankful for this recommendation from some friends . Amazing options including fresh juice, which I would highly recommend. We had the breakfast burrito with bacon and cheese, berry waffle, chilaquiles. Slightly hungover and this was the perfect recovery, close to paradise and super convenient. read more

This has been my breakfast spot all week! The food is delicious and you have to get the smoothies! I have gotten the strawberry swirl which I would say is my favorite. I've gotten the more basic breakfast combos, omelets and strawberry French toast. The French toast has a sugar that's like caramelized to the top. It was absolutely delicious. Overall a great place to get breakfast. Staff is very friendly and cautious. For three smoothies and three meals the total was under 25 dollars. The smoothies are also very large! If you get the chance definitely a place to check out. read more

Good cup of coffee, a variety of kinds of pancakes, benedicts, vegetarian options and meat options. My husband said the breakfast burrito was great. I had pancakes, eggs and hash browns - all delicious. Service was extremely attentive and they offered me a "tree" to hang my purse on. The only thing this place is missing is the ocean view, but we'll definitely eat there again on this trip! read more

Delicious food, many vegetarian options (most of the restaurants we encountered did not have ANY vegetarian options), good people watching while you eat in the mall, good service. Highly recommend. read more

Had Saturday morning breakfast here and it was totally worth getting up for. I ordered pancakes, eggs, and chilaquiles. All three items were done just right. The house hot sauce I got for my eggs was a total surprise but so good. Definitely an excellent spot if you spent the previous day drinking entirely too much. read more

Great breakfast! Food is excellent as is service. I was staying at Le Tigre Golf Course and this was a 15 minute walk.

I absolutely LOVED this breakfast/brunch spot. I had breakfast here 3 days in a row. Yes, it's that good. I tried different dishes every time, along with digging in to my family's as well. All delicious! Service was great. Waiters were on top of things! Can't wait to come back read more

The food here was decent. We had a party of 6. The waiter was not the friendliest but the food was pretty good and a good value for the money spent. I gave it 4 stars due to the waiter not being very nice. The food arrived quickly and was hot when served. read more

The Blackberry pancakes were delicious and came with with a little blackberry sauce and some whipped cream. The Panini was delicious and stuffed with cheddar cheese and chicken. read more

If you're looking for an American style breakfast, this is the place to go. It was good & reasonably priced. The service was extremely slow and inattentive. I had to get my own menu, ask for water 3x, and my bill 2x. read more

I used to live in Nuevo Vallarta for almost 10 years tasting food from all the restaurants in the zone. To my surprise, when Moonstar Cafe opened for the first time in 2015 I though it was just another culinary failure. Honestly I never tried their food, until I went to Puerto Vallarta for vacations and I give them a try. I couldn't feel more ashamed of myself for not noticing this hidden jewel. Definitely is one of the best breakfast restaurant I had ever tried in the whole Banderas Bay. Customer service was excellent, atmosphere comfortable, and the food was without doubt extraordinary. As a lover of the good food, I recommend Moonstar Cafe as your first stop from breakfast if your are staying in Nuevo Vallarta. read more

Great food and service. Friendly and helpful. We ordered a Chirozo omelette and veggie burrito, both very fresh ingredients and delicious. We are "on the patio", however, you're still on an inside mall second level. What they lacked in Mexican ambiance was made up om deliciousness. read more

Moonstar cafe is one of our favorites here in paradise village. The chicken enchiladas are absolutely the best. That's all we've ever had. We walk in and Miguel is there with chips/salsa and ice teas in hand. We love that kind of service. Great place and Miguel's service is always the best. Cindy and Ernie read more

They are open again, and the food is as good as ever. I live locally and come for the omelettes and the selection of breakfast and Mexican specialties. Friendly staff, attentive service, and a good (mostly breakfast) menu. They are open mornings into mid afternoon. read more

I had their chicken pesto panini and my friend a breakfast burrito. My chicken pesto was delicious. We asked and normally they serve burritos with the beans on the side not inside the burrito. So we just asked to have the beans inside. Would definitely come back to try other dishes. read more

The food is very badly cooked and the service is below average for any place in Mexico. Don't waste your time or money here. After all it is a mall cafe Eck.. read more

We came here for breakfast with the family. It was a good combination of America and Mexican options. The kids loved their pancakes and waffles. The poached eggs were done to perfection. My shrimp fajita omelette was delicious. The service was also very good. It was faster than most Mexican restaurants we have been to. And when my son asked for more whipped cream they brought it right away. English was no problem. Would definitely come back. Only down side is the interior mall location. read more
