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!

It was recommended - but we had a mixed experience…read more Best parts: grilled snapper (Zarandeado) was excellent. Shrimp ceviche was good. Not so great: - VERY loud at 2pm on a weekday. Had like 3 mariachi bands all around playing different music which made for NOT a relaxing meal. - lobsters were tiny and full of eggs. The amount of meat from one lobster was the size of one of my fingers. Maybe harvest lobsters *after* they have laid eggs so the population is sustainable? I would not order these again. - fish ceviche was pulverized and not great texture or flavor - people try to sell things at your table every 2 minutes. Also doesn't make for a relaxing meal. They have some good food but seems like they are going for quantity of people which sacrifices quality. Or maybe they treat locals better than tourists? They did tell us that multiple open tables in the best areas were "reserved". So we were seated on the edge between restaurants.

We took a 20 minute Uber ride to have a beach day outside of zona Romantica where we were staying. We decided to leave because we were hungry and realized that one of the restaurants we bookmarked was just a 10 minute walk and decided to check it out. We were there celebrating a special birthday so we wanted to have one nice dinner and this is the place we chose. We got there around 5 PM and we were the only ones there on a Saturday but it was off-season (Aug) so PV in general was pretty quiet. We were welcome by a friendly man who took us to the top floor with a mountain beautiful view which actually was a nice change from the ocean. The greenery was beautiful. This restaurant is known for their seafood and boy was it fresh. They don't have a specific menu, but rather they bring out a tray of their fresh selection of the day. Everything was beautiful and the shrimp was gigantic. We opted for the red snapper, lobster and the large shrimp. Everything was cooked to perfection and was absolutely delicious. Oh, and I have to make a point of mentioning their margaritas. Fresh fruit margaritas... So yummy. We tried the mango margarita with fresh mangoes and strawberry margarita as well. I just love drinks made with fresh fruits. I think it was my favorite margarita of the entire trip. I do highly recommend you check this place out. The food is phenomenal and the service is wonderful. The 20 minute Uber ride cost about US$15 so well worth it, especially if you do a beach day and make a day of it.

We came here as a party of 4 for my friend's 40th birthday around 6:30 and caught the most amazing sunset. They had a professional photographer take a complimentary photo for us. The service was impeccable, so welcoming and sweet! All of our dishes were so good. We ordered: octopus, seafood croquette, egg potato, potatoes brava, asparagus, white sangria. The octopus was so tender (maybe the best octopus dish that I've had) and the seafood croquette just melts in your mouth. There was not a dish that I did not like. For dessert we got the orange flan which was so yummy and delightful. and the chocolate lava cake. The sunset view was gorgeous! And the price was very reasonable - we got drinks, dinner and dessert, and the total came out to be $44 per person. I hope to be back!

The food is always excellent -- classic tapas done right and some of the best paella we've had in Puerto Vallarta. We came in for an early dinner around 5:30pm in January specifically to catch the sunset, and it was absolutely worth it. By the time we left, the restaurant was completely full -- that should tell you everything. The views are stunning and add so much to the overall experience. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely sweet. Don't skip the complimentary photo session -- it's a fun touch and they make it effortless and relaxed. This is one of those places we always return to when we're in Puerto Vallarta. Great food, beautiful views, consistent quality, and a welcoming atmosphere every single time. Highly recommend.
