We started with excellent cocktails: a Margarita for my wife (the first of two) and a mezcalrita for me. An on-the-house Caesar salad was followed by a deliciously spicy, garlicky shrimp appetizer served in a bubbling, boiling cauldron. Both of us had fish mains--a local whitefish with a piquant sauce named after chef/owner Roberto Gonzalez and sea bass for me. Four stars for my wife's fish; one star for my overcooked sea bass. I mentioned my disappointment to our server who compensated us with dessert. Service was okay. The place was packed with high-spirited turistas and staff were definitely hustling! Noise level as measured on SoundPrint was 84 dB: very loud.

Our main courses included Braised Birria Beef Short Ribs, a Smoky Cauliflower Chimichurri bowl, Blackened Salmon Filet, Garlic Basil Rigatoni, and Shrimp Ajillo. Everyone praised their dishes, and the cocktails were delightful as well! As a special bonus, we were fortunate enough to witness a sea turtle laying her eggs just six feet from our table. Every time we visit Puerto Vallarta, we make it a priority to dine at Daiquiri Dick's, and it never fails to amaze us!

Our party of four was immediately seated and treated to friendly service. They specialize in authentic Mexican cuisine. Their menu changes daily as the focus on 3 to 4 main entres prepared very well. I had loma, a pork dish. It was just like mom makes with great frijoles and rice. We also had Pozole, which means "hominy", and is a traditional soup or stew from Mexico, which once had ritual significance. Last we had Carne en su jugo. This is beef steak in an green chili sauce. The tortillas were hand made and served hot off grill. I highly recommend this wonderful foody stop. With her mom Rosa cooking, her daughter provided friendly efficient service. We felt we were part of la familia.

The young waiter takes our drink order and appetizer order and then takes off with the menus. It was a bit of a "process" but we finally got them back. They are in Spanish and require some explanation as there are some good choices that we had not been exposed to before. Fortunately we had a semi - local with us who speaks and reads Spanish as well as being a retired restauranteur. Drinks were good. Appetizer was small but tasty. Our entrees arrived on a staggered basis. Presentation was good. The beef tacos were good. The rice and shrimp was good. Notice that the food is good, not memorable or great. The price was right. The owner and his wife came in and took a table for dinner nearby, but chose not to come over and introduce themselves. Seems like they would want to interact with new clientele.... I suggest that you give it a try as I am sure they will get things smoothed out or it will close as the competition in the area is considerable.

Customer Service:…read more Issue #1 - Service is slow. After sitting down took 15-20 mins before the waiter acknowledged us. In fact we had to reach out to the waiter. Then another 30 - 45 minutes to receive order..Start to finish was approximately 2 hrs wasted here. Issue #2 - All appetizers did not arrive at the same time. When we told waiter to cancel the appetizer because it wasn't brought out with the rest he said they can't cancel orders & that's it's already waiting to be brought out. Food Quality: All the food was brought out and majority of food was already cold. The food was not good. No flavor. Very bland. Entertainment: Dining outside there is a water show approximately every 15. But there are also raccoons. Kids Menu: No kids menu. Did not see any kid friendly options. No cheeseburgers on the menu and they are not willing to coordinate with the other restaurants on site to place an order for one. Usually other hotels are very accommodating and can make anything possible but not here. Price: Everything was extremely expensive. Approximately $60+ per person.
