    Mi Pueblito is attached to Playa Los Arcos Hotel & Beach Resort, and the location alone makes it…read moreworth visiting. The restaurant is literally right on the beach, so you can sit down for dinner and watch the sunset over the ocean--one of the best settings in the Zona Romántica. The buffet is excellent, with a wide variety of options ranging from Mexican dishes to Italian, so there's something for everyone. One of my favorite parts was the taco station, where you can order tacos made fresh to your liking. As a hotel guest, I also received a free drink, which was a great bonus and really appreciated. What I loved most is how effortless the experience was. After a long, exhausting travel day--flight delays, customs, and the chaos of finding transportation at the airport--this place was exactly what I needed. No overthinking, no stress, just sit down, eat what you want, and relax by the ocean. The service is excellent. Multiple waiters circulate consistently, clearing plates and checking in to see if you need anything. It feels attentive without being intrusive. The dessert selection was also impressive--lots of choices and a perfect way to end the meal. And once you're done eating, you can immediately walk along the beach or head toward the pier to enjoy the ocean air and walk off that full feeling. Overall, Mi Pueblito is the perfect spot for a relaxed beachfront dinner, especially if you're tired from travel or just want an easy, enjoyable meal with a beautiful sunset view. I would definitely recommend it.

    Another restaurant along the main waterfront of the city. It's also a tourist trap as tourists…read morelikely to see staff ushering you in. Clearly it worked as we stopped in for a meal. They have both restaurants and beachside dining. I'm not sure if beachside is available for lunch but dinner for sure. It's a pretty big restaurant that connects to a hotel. For breakfast which we arrived, they were offering a buffet. It was pretty reasonable but opted for a la carte dish. Plenty of tables as it was mid week. Staff all were pretty friendly. Breakfast menu, they did have a good selection of items to choose from. The only downfall, it took a long while for the waiter to come back and take our order. Didn't want to flag him down as we just relaxing and enjoying people watching. Also, if you're along the front, you will likely be approached with vendors offering you trinket, jewelry, drugs of some and so on. It's like being in the beach... When we finally ordered, that took some time to arrive as well ...Lol... Majority of the guest seemed to be enjoying the buffet but the table behind us ordered a La carte as well. Which they arrived way after us but the food all came at the same time. Breakfast, traditional but good. The shrimp omelette was tasty as well as the Benedict. Believe they used biscuits versus English muffins but still good. Salad was also brought to accompany the meal. The vibe is good. Chill and relaxing. Food did take some time but we were there lounging and enjoying the view. There's a main stage area which assume they have live music. Also restrooms are towards the back where the pool area that's connected to the hotel is. You'll noticed the place with the faux bougainvillea tree in the front.

    My favorite place in the whole world (as i know it!). My mom and I have been coming here for years,…read morestaying at the LindoMar Resort, and enjoying Puerto Vallarta. This restaurant is a huge part of the experience. There have been changes over the years, but many of the core wait staff and bartenders are still there, always remembering us, and always treating us as friends. We enjoy having our breakfast, and always the fresh fruit platter, every morning downstairs without fail. It's so refreshing. The restaurant is open-aire, so you enjoy the surf and the sea life right from your table. We had the extreme pleasure of watching a baby whale swimming and playing right in front of the restaurant one morning. Absolutely phenomenal! The Happy Hour bell rings right at noon - and I drop everything to get up there! Great daily specials! Always fun trying something new. The bell rings again at 4:30, which is perfect since we eat early dinners to watch the sunset from our table. The menu is consistent and the food is delicious - try the fresh fish options! They have live music a couple times a week. And sometimes the neighboring resort has fireworks. I hope the corporate side of things doesn't take over too much so the abundance of charm and quality doesn't diminish. None the less, we'll be back again soon!

    Tacos Revolución was around the corner from my hotel, so I popped in for my last dinner in town…read more Outdoor seating was filled, but I had a table by the door which ended up being perfect because it essentially gave me a first row seat to a street performer playing classic rock tunes on guitar outside and then later a 3 piece band playing more traditional music across the street. Chips and three salsas come gratis. The pineapple habanero was a little hot for my tastebuds, but it had good flavor. The chipotle salsa was appropriately smoky and might've been my favorite. The green was more mild and fresh and also very good. I ordered three tacos: grilled shrimp, grilled fish, and the hibiscus flower and panela cheese. The waitress let me try a piece of the cheese before ordering since I'd never had panela before which I appreciated. That taco was probably my least favorite of the three- texture, not taste, but I like to try new things, so I'm glad I got it. There was a toppings bar for taco add-ons: limes, cucumbers, cabbage, onions, and cilantro. Nice to be able to customize. Very reasonable cost, good flavor, good service, good atmosphere.

    First place we ate dinner in Puerto Vallarta and everything was fine…read more First off important to note it's cash (pesos) only which was slightly annoying. Had to walk for a while to find a working ATM. Started with the guacamole which was good (although we'd had way better in the afternoon from a little cafe near our hotel). Three salsas came with the chips and were ok. The yellow pineapple one sneaks up on you and is very spicy. Ordered two tacos. Wasn't really wowed. Margarita ok. They have outdoor seating, so it's fun to people watch. Service was unmemorable.

    Last night I checked out this Chinese restaurant for dinner. Although their posted hours say…read moreotherwise, the doors were locked before 8:30 pm. I came back today for lunch. Gosh, this was the cheapest restaurant meal I've had in Puerto Vallarta by far...89 pesos (under US $5) for 2 selections including fried rice/chow mein. There are tables (all filled) but no table service. I ordered takeout. Selections are laid out cafeteria style on steamer trays. I picked pork short ribs (more bone than meat but tasty and the sauce is good) and whole stir fry shrimp (a bit spicy and really good flavors). I couldn't decide between fried rice or chow mein, so the woman said half/half. Both were decent, maybe a bit too salty, but the entrees are the stars of the show. This may be a true hole in the wall place off the beaten track, but is definitely a place I'd seek out again. It's a block from the Malecon and easy to get to!

    I am not sure why this establishment has the rating it has. The food was good and the service was…read morevery nice as well. We stopped in heading back to our airbnb and wanted something for lunch and food for later. It was more than enough food for two meals. The price was unbelievable. Two plates of food for 500 pesos. There is no way that can be beat. I would recommend this place for a quick (good) meal that's also inexpensive. I am deducting one star because we originally went at 12pm and they weren't opened on a Tuesday went back on Wednesday and they were.
