    restaurante

    Actually not a bad place for being inside the airport. we've been there twice now, first time in 2020 & then now 5 years later in 2025. Price is as expected since it IS in the airport, but i was actually surprised by the service. They are on top of things & are always constantly checking if you need water or anything else for your group. The shrimp is also very fresh since they are located in Puerto Vallarta, which is right by the sea so you are guaranteed fresh. Compared to the Bubba Gumps in the US which you do not get fresh seafood like you do here. Drinks were strong which you would like before getting on the plane to take away some of the nerves. Highly recommend to stop here if you're in the PVR airport.

    It's a given what to expect with the food here. Some people love it, some dislike it. There's not much sit down dining restaurants at this terminal so it was slim pickings. I normally juts pop in while waiting for the flights and have a beer. Well, nothing new. A beer and a snack. The cheese fries, simple and easy. It was ok, nothing major to rave about. If you know this chain restaurant, it's full of the movie memorabilia, pictures and quotes. Don't get me wrong, people love it as it's a symbolic movie. It's whatever, a good fast place for a drink while waiting. Staff were all really friendly at this location. Menu, I'm not sure if they're all the same nationwide. It's basically a hub for international travelers who see something familiar and know about it.

    Always stop by Bubba Gump, but never have eaten here. Got in real quick they sent me to table didn't have to go to the bar. Food came super fast. They are very attentive. Chicken strips seem hand breaded and were very tasty and the fries are hand cut. Drinks came fast. Only thing I would :( is the price but that's what you get when you get to any airport Sticking with my five star on this one.

    The most expensive meal I had in Puerto Vallarta was here as we waited for our flight home. Are the prices ridiculous? Yes (as all airports). Is the food and service good? Also, yes. I had the fish and chips. Everyone in our party of four enjoyed their meal. The key lime pie was fantastic!

    With 2.5 hours to kill before boarding a flight and with a bit of hunger pangs kinda kickin' it, Hubbers and I decided to get in one more meal. There were other choices, but this topped our list because we wanted to dine in (rather than getting food and taking it back to our seats at the gates.) Plus our palates kinda directed us here, so... We got on the waitlist and were told a 30 minute wait (which was weird because there were plenty of open tables.) No biggie, we had the time... But the wait wasn't even close to that half hour. We got seated just a little over 10 minutes later, so... yay! It didn't take long before Hubbers and I decided what we wanted. LAVA FLOW: A great starter before the starter. Great way to cleanse the palate before indulging in grub. RUN ACROSS AMERICA SAMPLER: Everything fried and had a lotta parts to it. Tortilla chips were what they were. Nothing to get excited about. Fried shrimp and hush puppies were between good and great, they weren't bad. Chicken tenders were booboo, though. They were fried much too tough and just became inedible. Even a simple bite was a struggle. I managed to find some parts soft enough, but most of it was just... nope. SHRIMP PO'BOY: They were generous with the amount of shrimp they put in this. It was also kept as simple as possible, so the main star really was the shrimp. The bun was soft but held the insides well. Mayo was light and the veggies were fresh. I liked it. FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH: Hubbers' struggled between this and the ribs, but since ribs weren't available, he was happy to get this. I got to try a small bite and liked it. He, on the other hand, liked it enough to eat it all. So, yeah. Great choice. FOOD: 5. SERVICE: 4. It was sorta a challenge trying to get staff to tend to us in the beginning (not having the RUN FORREST RUN and STOP FORREST STOP signs might have been an issue.) But once we got our server's attention (I believe his name is Daniel) it was smooth sailing from there. VALUE: 3. Average at best. Pretty comparable to what we pay in the states. OVERALL: 4. It was sorta a good comeback from the last meal we had at the marina (that one was yuck.) Granted it was more American, the meal was still a saving grace of some sort. But still: a good run at that. Might just come through again should I find myself in this city as well as the need comes up again.

    This location was in the airport in Puerto Vallarta. It was easy to get seated and the service was on point. My food arrived hot & promptly! It had a fun upbeat feel. It was very clean.

    Travel voucher scam

    They do not accept travel vouchers from airlines. There's a sign at the front desk that says they do but they won't when the bill comes. Don't fall for their scam!!

    Gotta love Bubba Gump! Stopped in before our flight back home for a bite to eat. It was super crowded (as most airport restaurants are) but we got a seat right away and the staff was FAST. Food was great. We especially liked the Shrimp BLT salad! Stop in if you have some time to kill before your flight!

    To stop service use this one.

    Like most Bubba gumps we've been at this one is a bit smaller since its inside the small Vallarta airport. Staff was friendly and prompt at seating and service. They were busy yet got us our drinks quick and were very accommodating. Its not the best food but it will get the job done when your hungry and don't want to eat on the plane and very family friendly for all ages.

    Burger n fries :)

    Cold shrimp, disgusting raw old broccoli for my kids. Stay away. You're not going to like this place.

    Stopped in here as part of the Vallarta Taco Tour A cute…read moresmall place right before La Playa Our bartender made us the best watermelon margaritas I have ever had! The ambience is definitely upscale and very comfortable Definitely worth another stop in the next time I am in the area

    Bar La Playa is a MUST first-stop when visiting Zona Romantica…read more On our most recent trip to Puerto Vallarta, we wanted to spend a day in this part of the region. After looking up good places to go, Bar La Playa came up- and I'm sure glad it did! First, it's easy to get to if you're coming from North. Our Uber was easily able to drop us off without getting stuck in gridlock traffic that can affect certain roads of this area. Additionally, the location isn't a high-traffic area for tourists. That meant we were able to walk up and immediately find seats. Second, the service was top notch. I didn't get the bartenders name, but he was very welcoming, friendly, hospitable and spoke English. Just an overall cool dude and was glad to support his business. Third, the drinks were great. Finally, we were drinking 'real' drinks, not the watered down sugary stuff at the hotel. We were very satisfied with the taste of the drinks. Fourth, the prices are really good. Mexico has gotten expensive and this was a sigh of relief. You can have a great time here without feeling like you paid an arm and a leg. I highly-highly recommend making Bar La Playa your first stop when coming to this area. You're going to get great service, great drinks and all at a price that is reasonable and fair.
