We really like Gloria, she's so kind, we have eaten at Gloria's the last three visits to Yelapa and…read morewe always go in two or three times a visit. The breakfasts are fantastic and I really like the vegetarian options on the menu, the veggie fajitas are the bests in town in my opinion. It's very pleasant to be next to the river, the sound of the water and the chickens roosting in the trees next to us is a nice atmosphere and the cheerful decor and lights. Went went there for New Year's Eve dinner and they had a limited menu just for that night which the server needed to explain to us. The food is always served quickly. We will go back next visit.

My first visit here was five years ago and I enjoyed an octopus quesadilla that literally changed…read moremy life with its freshness and delicious taste. I have since returned many times and I feel like an updated review is important because this is one of the best restaurants that I have ever eaten at across the globe for authentic Mexican cuisine, especially Mariscos. The atmosphere is local, authentic, quaint, and welcoming. Abuela can be seen in the kitchen hand making the tortillas so you know it's gonna be an amazing experience. The seafood is fresh and the food comes with a platter of sauces and pico de gallo and hot peppers that complement whatever dish you may order. The prices are fair and quite inexpensive when compared to prices back in the United States. There is a view during the day and at night, festive lights, set the tone for a magical evening. In short, having traveled across this wonderful globe and eaten at many Michelin starred restaurants, as well as local places like this, I can confidently say this is in the top 10 list of my favorite spots to enjoy a meal!

The restaurant is essentially a large open air patio (that's covered) with a view of the river. A small lunch menu, but a nice selection that should satisfy. Best part is the food was quite tasty and made with fresh ingredients, I enjoyed the chicken enchiladas and they were perfectly seasoned with a great enchilada sauce, and just the right amount of cheese. Prices here are fair and the enchilada portion plate was more than enough for one grown man. There's a large bar and people were sipping margaritas and cocktails. I enjoyed the Micheladas. I'm not an ice cream eater; however, if you are, you absolutely must come here because the other patrons were enjoying several kinds of ice cream that looked quite delicious and unusual. And you could peruse the freezer and choose the type of flavor that you wanted. I would absolutely come back. It is not in the Pueblo so that if you are walking up the river either on your way or on your way back do yourself a favor and stop here!! Keep in mind you have to cross over the suspension bridge to get there.

The Mrs. and I traveled to Yelapa beach yesterday and ended up at Domingo's…read more When you get off the water taxi from Puerto Vallarta there are several places for you to hang out on the beach. You are told that beach hangout is "included"(food and drinks not included) in with your water taxi fare. Each of the various spots have a handler on the beach enticing you to visit their beach bar/restaurant that includes restrooms. You're kind of trapped on the beach in a way. There is no signage directing you to the town of Yelapa and when you ask one of the handlers they try to sell you an "excursion". Needless to say the situation is a little frustrating. We ordered Margaritas and nachos. The drinks were really good but the nachos really weren't. Basically, just melted Monterey Jack cheese on chips topped with tough tiny bits of beef served with Pico de Gallo on the side. The service we received was great. We read several Yelp reviews about added charges. We didn't experience that but be prepared just in case. Take a picture of the menu and use it when the time comes to reconcile your check. Also, bring pesos. DO NOT use a debit or credit card. All of the beach from joints take them but you run the risk fraud. There are two ways to get to Yelapa. You can take the bus from PV to Boca for eight pesos per person (one way) then take a water taxi to Yelapa for about 180 pesos round trip per person. Or you can take the water taxi from Los Muertos Beach pier in PV for 500($30 U.S.) round trip. I recommend taking the water taxi from PV and save yourself the hassle of getting to and riding the bus. The journey to Yelapa is about 45 minutes.

I'd been here a few years ago, and all of the wonderful things I remember were still here for me to revisit. From the hospitality to the delicious Mexican grub, it's never a bad time here. This place will always be on my list to come back to during future vacations. We spent a long day exploring Yelapa and we worked up quite an appetite, so we were extremely excited to finally sit down and eat. We ordered 2 margaritas to start us off while we decided from the menu on what our main dishes would be. The margaritas were gigantic (you'll never going to catch me complaining about that) and they tasted so refreshing. You can be seated in the sun or the shade, and after spending all day in the sun we were ready for some shade. My boyfriend LOVES fish tacos, so naturally he gravitated towards those. I felt as if by this point in our vacation it was insane that I hadn't eaten any chile rellenos, so I got the Mexican plate that came with beans and rice, an enchilada, a chile relleno, a small quesadilla, and some vegetables. Everything was delicious, but I liked the chile relleno the most. The cheese in the quesadilla was incredible, and I loved the enchilada, too. The price of our meal certainly was something I couldn't complain about, either. For my boyfriend, myself, and our friend Mario the total was less than $700 pesos. Although the food was good, my favorite thing about Fanny's was the hospitable service. Our waiter treated my boyfriend and I as if he'd seen us countless times before but it was our first time visiting together. The first time I came to Fanny's a couple years ago with my uncles and Mario I remember the calm, relaxing environment and service that I enjoyed so much. It was good to see that not much has changed about Fanny's. We will be counting down until our next trip to PV, and Fanny's will definitely be part of our plans again!
