    I've been here a handful of times. Yes, it's a tourist trap. It's right on Tourist Trap Lane... however, it's great for locals as well. It's rarely busy as it's MASSIVE and there are so many places to eat. They have a huge menu with everything you can imagine. We love their wings, burritos, queso fundito but are not such a fan of the burgers. In Mexico they use a lot of filler to make the meat go further (and I assume to add flavor, but it just tastes off). Service is always great. You do have to ask for your check in Mexico as well as anything you may need as they aren't a hovering over you in a restaurant type of culture.

    This...is...BOMB Great service greaaaaat burger. I can't ask for anything more. Except having free refills would be nice. Delicious. I wish I could fit another burger. I've been in the area for two weeks and doesn't seems busy...it should be they have to have more people try their burgers. I think people just don't think it'll be bomb. But I can say it is

    This restaurant was located at the best spot along the malecon (boardwalk). The location was upstairs, which improved the view. The dining area was nicely done, with plenty of TVs, and the service was attentive. We ordered only drinks. The price was reasonable, and there were no water-related repercussions later. Nice!

    Great fish and chips!

    Had lunch here after walking by the restaurant and over hearing an elderly couple that was just leaving the restaurant say "Best Fish & Chips" ever! So later...after our walk around being tourists we worked up an appetite, walked by again and thought...let's try it. We were not disappointed. The fish and chips were very good...lightly breaded and not greasy. The staff was wonderful. We had a wonderful view from our upstairs balcony table. The restaurant sports bar with an attitude! Check out the "Bull Shark" hanging near the bar. Mid-day we were the only patrons (I can well imagine this place is crazy busy during spring break). We also tried the calamari for an appetizer...and one in our group had the burger and fries. Great extensive menu and great prices. And...as the menu states...ask about our "2 for 1 Drink Specials"...We did and we all had 2 drinks each for the price of one. After the drinks, we left very full and very HAPPY.

    Very friendly servers. We came here for drinks not for dinner. The waiter walked us through their tequila menu and recommendations. He also explained how tequila shots are done Mexican style - tequila short then reddish drink (tomato juice?). I am not a tequila drinker and definitely don't like tequila, salt, lime combination. But I liked to have tequila Mexican style. The view from the second floor of this restaurant was great. It was nice to hang out there for some time. We didn't order any food so I can comment on it.

    A must-visit in Puerto Vallarta! Some people at the club we were at recommend Pepe's…read more A large group (bachelorette party x bachelor party combined) trekked over here at 3am and it was 1. cash-only and 2. very hot!! At first, we panicked, but we persisted. The tacos were delicious and the service was attentive. Bathrooms were not clean, but you don't go there for the bathroom. The al pastor were fresh, juicy, tender, and delicious. Great flavor and lots of spice.

    There are places that simply serve food--and then there are places that become part of your story…read more Pepe's Tacos is exactly that for me. Having come here since I was 10 years old, this iconic taquería isn't just a local favorite--it's a timeless institution that continues to define what truly exceptional tacos should be. Since 1987, Pepe's has built a reputation that extends far beyond Puerto Vallarta, and one visit is all it takes to understand why. The star of the show--their legendary tacos al pastor--is nothing short of extraordinary. The pork is expertly marinated and cooked to perfection, resulting in meat that is incredibly juicy, tender, and bursting with deep, savory flavor. Each slice is carved with precision and layered onto warm tortillas, creating a perfect foundation for what comes next. What truly elevates these tacos is the balance of toppings. The sweetness of the pineapple and the sharpness of the fresh onions cut through the richness of the meat beautifully, enhancing every bite with contrast and complexity. It's a masterclass in simplicity done right--every ingredient playing its role to perfection. Beyond the food, the experience itself is just as memorable. The service is impressively fast and efficient, especially considering how popular this spot is, and there's an undeniable energy in the air that makes it feel alive at all hours. It's the kind of place you can count on for a late-night bite, where the atmosphere is casual, vibrant, and always welcoming. Pepe's Tacos isn't about reinvention or trend--it's about consistency, tradition, and delivering excellence time and time again. Decades later, it still holds its place as one of the best taco spots in Puerto Vallarta, and for good reason. Some things never change--and when they're this good, they absolutely shouldn't.

    Take note that I am notoriously a miser when it comes to giving 5 star reviews because I think 5…read morestars = perfection and there's almost always something that can be done to improve the experience. But. But, but, but... I would actually give La Madalena SIX stars. Service and ambiance were truly outstanding. Food was equally exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like honored guests. Servers were plentiful, professional, humorous and attentive. Our primary server was Alexis and his service was stellar - not only did he attend to our every request with a smile - he anticipated and was proactive. We also had a table side mixologist whose name escapes me (sorry!) but he was wonderful as well - making suggestions and creating specialty drinks on the fly. The staff made us feel like the only customers in the restaurant. Five of us succumbed to "eyes bigger than stomach" and ordered way too much food. We found the extensive menu both challenging (because *everything* sounded delicious) and exciting. Our favorites included (but were not limited to these because every dish we tried was outstanding): the Ceviche de Coliflor, Queso Fundido, Queso Quemado, Ensalada Verde con Vinagreta de Aguacate, and Beef Tenderloin for 2. Note that the presentation for the vast variety of steaks is quite impressive. All in all, they surpassed every single one of our expectations on this special night. I highly recommend you get yourself there and let the fine folks at La Madalena treat you right!

    Amazing! Upon arriving, the mere walk into the front of the restaurant was so surreal. Arriving…read morearound the time of sunset in the summer was peak! Kudos to the builder. The restaurant sits directly on water and you're able to go out and enjoy the views before and/or after your meal. The staff was extremely pleasant. Inside the restaurant was very modern and chic, with a cool library theme. The restaurant itself is very upscale with a view of the kitchen as your meals are prepared. The food presentations were excellent and quality was nice but not my cup of tea for the entree (shrimp). I wish I could go back and reorder a steak or something different lol. It was just ok, but presentation made up for it! The bread was excellent and drinks were fun! I'd return but I highly recommend it for those wanting to get a change of pace from resort meals.

    Our new favorite taco joint. We went there, were seated right away. Service was good and fast…read more We ordered the casa fundido with Al Pastor on top. It's thicker, more cheesy than what I've ever had before and very delicious. We paired that with the prime rib tacos, it was a plate stacked with meat and 4 tortillas under it, more than we could eat. The seasoning was great, it was diced so small that it was easy to eat. I got a virgin strawberry margarita, the wife got a coke. It was very affordable.

The ribeye had so much fat that we had to pick through it just to eat it. The al pastor was very average - I've had much better at plenty of other taco spots. The biggest disappointment was the chorizo. It wasn't traditional chorizo at all; it looked and tasted more like chopped-up hot dogs. We barely touched it because it wasn't what we ordered expecting, and it just wasn't good. The presentation also wasn't appealing. The meat was simply piled on top of two tortillas, making everything messy and difficult to eat. They were also pretty stingy with the grilled jalapeños. The salsas didn't do the food any favors either. None of them really stood out, and the green guacamole salsa actually tasted like it had gone bad, so we stopped eating it. Service was attentive, but almost too attentive. Staff kept coming by every few minutes to ask if we were finished or if we needed anything. While I appreciate good service, it made us feel like we were being rushed through our meal instead of being able to enjoy it at our own pace. Overall, I don't understand the high ratings based on our experience. With so many amazing taco spots in Puerto Vallarta, this one didn't come close to meeting the hype. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back.
