Liz and Richard

Came to Ah Caramba with family for a last night before departing and let me tell you, this place may seem expensive but you are getting everything you pay for! We ordered the Liz and Richard and split the Chicken Caesar. I will say we each could have ordered the Liz and Richard and been fine but we were not that hungry that specific evening but coupled with the giant Chicken Caesar, it was a solid choice. Food is great for the price and the views are absolutely amazing. Highly recommend!

Views!

Ah the views! The service was spot on and the food very tasty. the Pico de Gallo was the best we had in PV and it enhanced all of our dishes. I ate the stuffed mahi. The presentation was lovely and the food hot and very good. We would definitely return here and reccommend it to others.

Incredible views, yummy food and even better service! Local restaurant, with a family vibe. Me and my dad and brother loved it here!

Coconut shrimps

Back in '24 again. W new guests. Annual tradition for great food best views of the city. The shrimp specials and fresh fish specials are outstanding. We love it that the roads are challenging to taxi up the hill yet the views are most worth it. What high quality flavors and marvelous drinks. If we are in PV just a week every year we make Ah Caramba a must for one night.

Lobster Bisque

Saturday night date night dinner on our last night in PV and we wanted to make it special. This place absolutely delivered!! They took reservations easily for party of 2. 4 cocktails, 2 bottles of water, lobster bisque, and HUGE order of lobster and shrimp combo (def good for at least 2... maybe even 3) came out to be about $150 USD and that included tips. The food was amazing. I wished we had more people so we can order other things I wanted to try!! The view was breathtaking and perfect that if you get lucky as we did, you'll catch fireworks, as well. I'm not sure if this is every night, but there was also a mariachi band- super fun! If you're looking for a special night, you can't go wrong here!

Amazing. The last, first, or any time restaurant you need to visit. The best view in PV ...

OK we came here for a late Lunch. If you get a chance to come here only for the view then you need to. When we came in it was right before Their dinner rush. Certainly if you're coming for dinner you need to get reservations. The restaurant sits high on a hill and overlooks the entire city. We all ordered the mix fajitas. The guacamole was great, I would say the food was not the best I've ever tried but it was still good. A storm rolled through so it's kind a need to watch it. And the pricing was reasonable here.

La Madalena - Fresh Bread

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!

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.

I was honestly surprised to see this place rated so highly because our experience was pretty…read moredisappointing. We ordered the ribeye, al pastor, and chorizo tacos. 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.
