We had a lovely meal here. It's small, 5 tables outside and 4 inside. Not good for groups larger than 4. We had a pizza, falafel, Greek salad, and lemon cheesecake. Everything was very tasty and with nice presentation. Great service. Will definitely come back here. read more

Love this restaurant! Consistently delicious food, great service and awesome sangria. We come here every year

Enjoyed a great meal with my family in this quaint tapas restaurant. The menu is eclectic and there is something for everyone. The place is small, so call ahead or be prepared to wait, because it gets full quickly. The drink menu is great, with a nice selection of fun cocktails to pick from. The tapas are generous and very reasonably priced. I strongly suggest the bacon wrapped shrimp and the tuna tartare. We ordered several tapas and those were our favorites. Don't forget to ask for the homemade chili oil, which goes great with almost everything on the menu. I strongly recommend the pizza - thin crust with several toppings to pick from. I am somewhat of a pizza snob and I can happily say that this some of the best I've had in a long time -- don't forget to sprinkle on some chili oil for good measure. The desserts are also interesting. We went with the dulce de leche cheesecake, which I high recommend. It was served in a mason jar and the crust was very unique. Definitely worth a try. If you want a casual night out with some great food and fantastic service, this is the place to go! read more

This was my favorite restaurant in Mexico. At first I thought the menu looked basic and quite American but the flavors and service are on point. The food was well cooked and I loved the pizza. I wanted to go back one more time but had a flight to catch. P.S. the photos on Yelp do not do the food service. P.S.S I also liked the decor and the fact that I could eat without a slew of people coming over to sell me stuff. read more

The food was amazing with great flavour profiles and the staff were great! Would definitely go back.

A superb dinner with fresh ingredients, generous drinks, and helpful and responsive service. It's a neighborhood gem!

This is the best food I've eaten since I've been in Puerto Vallarta and one of the best meals I've had, period. Monday is tapas night and they were all so unique. The gazpacho shot was out of this world delicious. I got the falafel which was the most gorgeous presentation of falafel with the freshest ingredients. The beet hummus is incredible, everything is made from scratch. I got the 'special dessert' which was lemon cheesecake in a jar with homemade crumble on the bottom and fresh berry compote on the top. So so delicious. read more

I've been twice. Once as a guest of a known local and the second time I brought two guests. Great food and service, but I experienced an atmosphere/attitude of elitism that you'll need get past. So good service but not always warm and/or super friendly. Getting a table can be challenging. Unless you know "someone" you will need to make reservations well in advance. Even then they might seat you at bad table. I showed up with two guests and was given a flat out nothing available tonight. So I made reservations three days later. When we arrived we had been assigned a very small table for two with three chairs. Reluctantly it was rectified within 15 minutes. My guest were exhausted and famished, otherwise I would have gone elsewhere... Both times I had the spinach salad and the bacon wrapped prawns. Super delicious and presented. My friends had the coconut prawns which are served hanging from a miniature clothesline with tiny cloths pegs. I would recommend this place to foodies, but if your looking for that classic Mexican hospitality and warmth this might not be the right fit. read more

116 Pulpito - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Puerto Vallarta, JAL

See all

I wandered into 116 Pulpito entirely by accident. As a vegetarian, I was en route to Maia, next door, which is reputed to have extensive vegetarian offerings reflective of culinary mastery. Alas, when I arrived, Maia was closed. It looked shut down -- though perhaps it's being remodeled? There were no signs posted by management informing anyone of a date of re-opening, and the windows were covered with paper. Your guess is as good as mine. So, right next door stands 116-P, a tiny, friendly place with a handful of tables inside, a smaller handful outside, and perhaps five seats at the bar. 116-P also has quite a variety of vegetarian selections, so I accepted the fate that had befallen me at the late hour (after 10p) and joined the party that most likely occurs every night in this adorable space. The server suggested it would be 30-45 minutes for a table, so I figured it was time to order a mojito (with Havana Club 7 Year rum, my fav) and settle in. 116-P is in Olas Altas (Old Town), which is a gay-friendly, gay-open part of Vallarta. Two gay men sat at the bar enjoying a pizza and one was giving me eyes. I struck up a conversation with them while I was nursing my mojito, knowing all the while they were dying to know whether I was of like persuasion. (Eventually, I just asked if he wanted to know if I was gay, because it was obvious that he did. When I disappointed him, he persistently followed up with what I imagine is a common question in the community to ferret out those in abject denial: "Have you ever had sex with men?"). Let me be clear: this was hardly threatening and all done in good (and, for him, flirtatious) fun. I was happy to pass the time talking to friendly folk. Let me be clear upfront: this rating is inflated because I liked the energy of 116-P. I liked the servers; I liked the bartender; I liked the patrons. The food, in my opinion, was just okay. The pizza looked great and it may very well be the best item on the menu, but as a vegetarian -- belieeeeeve me -- one gets more than his fill of pizza in Vallarta (Bella Napoli, which for some reason is not on Yelp, is the standout). I wanted to try something different. These are smaller plates - kind of like tapas - and priced accordingly. Everything was about US$4. I started with the Greek Salad, then had the tempura vegetables, and finished with the veggie sliders. The standout was the tempura, and that may have been because of the delicious homemade sweet and sour sauce that accompanied it. The Greek Salad was just okay - a bit uninspired - and the veggie sliders were mushy and flavorless. The Havana Club 7-yr mojitos, however -- of which I had two -- were the best I've had in Vallarta (the mojitos at La Bodeguita del Medio, a Cuban bar and music venue on the Malecon are terrible). The total bill, before tip, was MXN$406 (exactly $20) - a bargain any way one slices or dices. To be sure, this is quality food and quality ingredients. Perhaps some tweaks are in order for vegetarian items? I don't know. I'd go back, though. I'd try the pizza. I'd perhaps try a different salad. I'd re-order the tempura. And I'd definitely enjoy those mojitos. read more

Hands down my new favorite place in Puerto Vallarta. The place is small, so if you have to wait for a table I will recommend it: the wait is worth it. Start by having a Mezcalmule... The place serves tapas on Mondays along with their regular menu which includes tapas, salads and pizzas. Everything is delicious! My favorite items are the tuna tartar, spinach salad and the shrimp dish "el tendedero"... and if you leave room for dessert try Agustin's famous cheesecake. Agustin is one of the waiters and he is sweet, fun and attentive, along with being very creative and culinary art is his passion. Thanks Pulpito for treating us well every time! read more

It was the 3rd place we stopped to check out and are we glad we did. Food was fresh, well seasoned and nice portions. We will definitely be back! read more

Fantastic restaurant!! The food and the service were outstanding. We enjoyed the shrimp and pears, the calamari, and the shrimp sliders. The pizzas looked fantastic as well. We sat at the bar. The bartender was so friendly and took such care in making the drinks. The cocktails were delicious. Mezcal Mule!! Even a Hendricks and Soda was made extra special. We will be back this week. read more

Food was very tasty!!! The tuna tartare was perfect. We also had the calamari. Very tender. We would have given this place 5 stars except the bartender and his runny nose. Not cute. We watched him blow his nose multiple times and he NEVER washed his hands. We switched to beers so his interventions was not needed. read more

116 Pulpito - Perfection. We needed more lil toasted bread but otherwise delicious! - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Puerto Vallarta, JAL

We loved our dinner. For starters, they had 2 for 1 mojitos on Wednesday night. We also enjoyed the coconut shrimp, tuna tartare, cheese plate, papas bravas, summer rolls and a Greek salad. All the guys working were very friendly. The restaurant is small. They have 4 tables inside and 4 outside so definitely make a reservation. We'll be recommending to our friends who vacation in PV and would come back. read more

Great pizza!!! Nice thin and crispy crust. Also don't miss the Spinach Goat Cheese salad. We split and salad and pizza between the 2 of us and it was plenty!!! Was about $15 US for dinner- can't beat that. We will be back! read more

I ate here two nights in a row. I was so impressed with the service and food. First night I had the Greek salad, pizza, and a mojito. The bartender Freddie is really attentive and very friendly and helpful. David and Benjamin are doing a great job. I sat at the bar. The second night I had the bacon-wrapped shrimp, the bruschetta with prosciutto, and beef sliders with potato wedges. I had a glass of red wine from Chile that was really good. For dessert o had the flan and an espresso. It was too much food. Delicious. read more

Everything in the reviews is true. We ate our hearts out at 116 Pulpito on our last night in Puerto Vallarta. We had the hummus with chili pepper oil, Papas Bravas (potato wedges) and split a pizza- all of which was scrumptious. This was obviously way too much food for 2 people but the tab with 2 sodas was only 330 pesos which we thought was very fair. The presentation was really unique and beautiful as well. Nice staff and very creatively-designed atmosphere. It is another true Puerto Vallarta winner. read more

Great drinks, good food, super nice staff. Most things on the menu and the daily special are delicious. A great little spot.

Amazing!! Been living in PV for awhile but have never came here. Food is fresh healthy and amazing. Must try

This place is freaking adorable. It could easily be a gastropub in a trendy city, but it's in the heart of PV! The sangria was amazing. The tapas were delicious. Everyone made an effort to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Great atmosphere and amazing service. I wish I could take this little place back home with me! read more

116 PulPito was probably one of the best restaurant we visited in Puerto Vallarta. Every dishe we ordered was on point and enjoyed by everyone in our party. I definitely recommend ordering the pizza, salad, calamari, Papas bravas, tempura, tuna tartare, croquettes, and the meat plate! read more

Our favorite in PV. Friendly service excellent Spanish food. Get the mango margarita too!

Loved it, the food and the service was excellent until OXXO turned on their bright florescent outside lights.

This place was great! We ate here 2x during our week stay in PV. Drink specials most nights, huge sangria, and tapas specials. Pizza has a great crispy thin crust. Not too expensive and if you do the specials, you get quite a bang for your buck. read more

I liked everything about this restaurant. The excellent pizza, good caipirinhas, and super friendly staff. I enjoyed a beautiful sunset over a goat cheese/prosciutto pizza & garlic hummus. I'll be back! read more

Staying just upstairs from the restaurant, we stopped here for a quick breakfast on our first morning in Puerto Vallarta. The dinner menu looked great, and the place is quite lively in the evenings - but we were only able to make it for breakfast. The Sweet had mollete (bolillo roll topped with mashed beans, cheese, and chorizo) and I had chilaquiles with a fried egg. The salsas were fresh and tasty, and the food was satisfying. The selection of panes dulces was good with our coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. The servers two cute dogs sat patiently nearby, wagging their tails whenever he came close. The breakfast prices were a bit high, relative to other breakfasts specials we discovered later - but it was still quite affordable, and the food was worth it! read more

So good we have eaten here 3 times in a week! Great tapas and thin crust pizza! Also the bartender makes great drinks and sangria! Friendly owner and staff with great food at very reasonable prices! read more

Solid food, friendly service, and great attention to detail. You'll have a great meal here. The only reason it doesn't get 5/5 stars is because the service was exceptionally slow. Perhaps it's because they have a small kitchen/kitchen staff. read more

The service was great! Waiters were incredibly attentive and made sure we got everything we needed. Plates are tapas style. The food was so good. My most favorite were the bacon wrapped shrimp. My god... with the chili sauce is the perfect combination of flavors. The shrimp slider was super flavorful. The pizza was thin and the crust extra crispy. The vibe overall is trendy and hipster you could say. But never let that be a deterrent as the dishes and drinks are well worth the visit. Everything is reasonably priced. Come here if you're looking for something to eat that's a little different than your usual Mexican fare! read more

Amazing food and amazing service. We were visiting from San Francisco and I love this restaurant more than any SF one! Food is creative and delicious, and great reasonable prices. Dessert was A+ as well. read more

I don't know about the food as I've tried twice to go based on reviews but will never try again. Horrible customer service or Management. Seems like a group of friends that have no clue about making a good impression to keep people coming back. I tried in January And again last night. Very, very small place. Both times the same table which we two smaller tables pushed together was the only one available. But we only had two people. Instead of offering to split the table. They preferred to say that's all they had and couldn't seat us, so we said we would go someplace else. I'm very happy they have such confidence in their success right before slow season that they would turn away business. Maybe my 60 year old mom and I weren't their target clients. read more

This is a unique must see gastropub. Our food and drinks were top level. We had pizza and each person in our party loved the addition of the chili oil. The capirhinia and sangria were on point. The space was very eclectic and modern. read more
