    Must have and if you like it spicy  just tell them how HOT

    First time in Puerto Vallarta and wanted to try something authentic and delicious. Asked the Taxi driver to take my fiancé and I somewhere to eat and I tell you we did not leave disappointed. I absolutely love the food and service. Everything was absolutely wonderful and if anything I enjoyed everything more at Claudio's (both service and food) than our 5 Diamond Resort we were at!!!!! I definitely will be coming back Thank you to my awesome waiter Rene and waitress Fatima for their efforts in ensuring that we had a great experience! P.S. don't forget to ask for their fire coffee (alcohol is added)!!! It's delicious after dinner and a show in itself! Trust me!

    Claudio and Cesar

    We are so glad Claudio's made it through 2020! We never fail to eat here as many times as we can while in Nuevo Vallarta. Their food is EXCELLENT and reasonably priced. We've been so many times we've made friends with Claudio, his son Cesar and many of the other waiters. Everyone is so friendly. The chicken Mole, Shrimp Diablo and Avocado Shrimp are to die for and their presentation is worthy of a 5-star restaurant. Great margaritas too. They're a little hard to find on a side street, just past the Blue Shrimp (turn at Oxxo) in Nuevo Vallarta but you won't regret seeking them out. We'll be back!

    This place is amazing! My husband and I went to a few different places before this looking for dinner and all was closed so we found this gem on yelp and got a taxi here. It looked a little sketchy but our driver insured us it was safe. The staff was amazing and very helpful! The menu is only in Spanish but they helped translate for us. We ordered guacamole and shrimp burritos, both were to die for! I'm kinda sad I don't have seconds of the burrito to be honest haha and a plus it's vegetarian friendly.

    Yummy red snapper and guacamole

    This place is amazing. Every time we are in PV we always come here. The owner is AMAZING as well. We can't wait to visit this place again!

    Also have regular Mexican offerings, as well as steaks.

    Food is good and service is friendly. I had seafood platter. Lobster, shrimp, pulpo, a whole fish and a fish filet with vegetables and rice. The octopus was tough but everything else was good.

    Claudio's Place is a Mexican Bar and grill in Nuevo Vallarta.

    A beautiful friendly restaurant off the beaten path. This place was recommended by our taxi driver and " you gotta eat here" we arrived before they opened and were greeted by Victor whom invited us in and served us a drink while he prepared his opening. I had the special #2 which was the garlic shrimp... It was awesome.. Others ate the quesadilla, the portions could have been a little bigger, but satisfying overall. The prices were good.. Two of us ate for $45 which included drinks... When you come here bring a flag of your country or favourite sports team, they will hang it for you ..

    Fried Calamari

    Very nice meal. It was quiet when we arrived for dinner, only 2 other tables. My husband enjoyed the Spaghetti with seafood. We shared the tasty Fried Calamari. I had the Mexican plate but could not finish so brought home for tomorrow's lunch.

    Didn't get a "pre-eating" shot of the coconut shrimp, but here you go!

    We ended up here after we learned that El Dynamite was closed for the season during our August visit here. Turned out to be a wonderful "quandary" to be in! Carlos was our waiter and he is a gem of a human being! So genuine, so friendly, so funny, and always willing to help. The free round of tequila shots didn't hurt, either. We arrived after 9pm on a Tuesday and were the only ones in the restaurant, which made us a little nervous, but then we remembered, "It's August...it's Tuesday...it's after 9pm...who are the weirdos?" Yep, us. We were not disappointed by the service or the food! The seafood combination was overflowing with red snapper, tilapia, octopus, calamari and crab; the stuffed tilapia was filled with shrimp, octopus, crab and cheese; the bacon-wrapped shrimp was, well, full of BACON! And the coconut shrimp was a standout, as well. Excellent Cadillac margaritas, too! A short cab ride from the Grand Mayan and WAY better food than any of the resort's restaurants.

    Great service, laid back atmosphere, and the best margaritas we had in Puerto Vallarta.
