    Avoid this place! The waiter was shady. The drink prices are not on the menu. We were misled when we asked the price of a drink and when the bill came it was double the price! The rude waiter played it off as if we had ordered the "big" cup. He seemed really irritated at any question we asked about the menu. Most of our food was ok not great, a soup I ordered was gross. I couldn't eat more than 2 bites. The only nice thing about it was the location however there are other restaurants on the same beach which I'm sure would offer much better food and service. We plan to go back to Yelapa because it was such a beautiful spot but will never eat at Fanny's again. It was a total rip off!!

    Different selection of hot sauces plus fresh pico de gallo and hot salsa

    A fun atmosphere with yummy food. Our server was kind and attentive. Prices were great. We had guacamole which I think was the best guacamole on our trip so far. I had chicken tacos and my husband had the grilled lobster(massive!!!) decent margaritas, cheap beer, clean bathroom, comfortable beach chairs. Oh also the beans were phenomenal my mouth is watering now thinking about them.

    This place is a must when visiting Puerto Vallarta. Yelapa is a 45 minute boat ride from the main beach area of old Puerto Vallarta. You can only get to it by boat. Fanny's serves the coldest $2 beer on the entire beach. Excellent lobster excellent Daiquiris and Margarita's. The service is first rate. Just about anything you could want after 45 minute boat ride to this amazing paradise. Definitely take the parasailing trip around the bay, then celebrate with a mango margarita. Then head through town, and walk up to the waterfall where you are greeted by more ice cold $2 Coronas. We were treated very well, and although you get hit up by beach vendors, keep in mind that this is their lively hood, so don't be an ugly Gringo and disrespect them if they don't accept your offer for goods. Be fair, and you will have a great afternoon.

    I must have walked past this small restaurant 100 times without noticing it. Fortunately a…read morerestaurant group I belong to gathered here for dinner one Friday night. Actually so many members wanted to dine in this rather small spot that our group had to split up, with half attending on Friday evening and the rest of us going on Saturday. Well, it was definitely worth the wait. The restaurant is located on the street heading directly to the pier, just up a few doors from Dee's Coffee House. The menu is mostly tapas and wine. Every single item served to our table was a huge hit! Portions are modest, befitting a tapas menu. The food is as beautiful to see as it is delicious to eat. Please save room for dessert, as if you have a sweet tooth it will be well served. The wine list features very wide price points. The house wine is French, with the more expensive wines being of Mexican origin. It is all good, and the house wine is a bargain. The restaurant is cute, but not especially fancy. Certainly you can come in shorts and not be stared at. There is air conditioning! Service was friendly and helpful. After dinner stroll the half block over to the pier for a romantic end to a nice evening.

From the moment you walk in, you find yourself in a different country. The pleasant ambiance with fully air conditioned space and welcoming smiles of the staff were the best appetizer besides the one the Chef offered - delicious fried calamari and shrimp. I'm bad with names so I unfortunately forgot the name of the young kind man who was assisting me with my dinner. He explained the meaning behind the 3 plates on the menu and further shared that the menu is changed periodically and that the entire team is involved. Including staff in decision making is highly valued in my world. Everyone is part of the family and feels the belonging. I could tell it was the case. I didn't want to drink alcohol so I opted for mixed berry drink. Amazing flavor. For main dish I had a steak with Fettuccine or Tagliatelle pasta in creamy sauce, corn and asparagus. The chef asked if I preferred the steak to be precut or in one piece. I opted for the first option. I finished with double espresso served in an espresso cup. The attention to detail was fantastic and assured me of the high quality of the restaurant. I've been to Italy over 20 times and ate at high quality places. The Tri Piatti resembles such high quality! Truly Italian experience. I will definitely recommend it to everyone I know (and I know a lot of people) and when I'm back in town I'll definitely visit again.

We sat on the deck, but being somewhat late (8pm or so) there wasn't much to look at, views are nice during the daytime however Service was a bit slow but not a big deal. No wine list but they have Malbec and Cabernet, or some whites. Which was weird because it's connected to a restaurant called Burgers and Wine, they're the same place, we ordered off both menus, so if it's a wine place it's weird not having a wine list? Ordered the mussels and the sabrosada to start. The sabrosada is 2 little breads with chorizo pate and Brie. Good, not earth shattering The mussels were amazing. Ina spicy chorizo broth, served w bread, they were very large compared to what we get at home (menu didn't say what kind of mess they were) and there were 9 or 10 of them, and was only about $7 US. We pay double to triple that at home dorm much smaller mussels Added on the beetroot salad, was okay, the dressing I didn't care for but it was good enough. Large portion of goat cheese on top. Breaded. And then the slider trio. Ordered medium, came medium to medium rare which was perfect for me. They were fine. The classic and the blue cheese one with caramelized onions tasted basically the same. The steak one was interesting, tasty. No substitutions or add on a for the classic, unlike if u are ordering the full size Wine ended up only being like $4US per glass, the pours were kind of on the small size tho. Overall it was pretty good! Good option if u want to get away from resort buffets for a change

Una tragedia y tristeza ver como este establecimiento se ha deteriorado. En 2019, la primera vez que visitamos este lugar quedamos facinados con el mojito, la comida y el ambiente. Hemos visitado mas de tres veces y este fue el cuarto y la última! La realidad es que el lugar cadece de los tres aspectos!! El mojito no se le saboreaba nada de alcohol, ni limón tenia y la yerbabuena podrida, el comprobante esta en la fotografía. Un restaurante cubano que no venda lechón y sirve maduros con leche condensada?! Y las empanadas, las peores que hemos probado. Medio crudo y blandas. Casi segura que fueron calentadas en la microonda. Lamentablemente La Bodeguita del Medio perdió su magia y del medio se quedó atras en el olvido. Se sentía como si uno estuviera en un pueblo fantasma. El reflejo de lo que le esta sucediendo a Cuba :(( A little suspicious that the employees are in charge of informing customers of the complaints against the Cuban customer: "they don't want to pay and they don't give tips, etc." A tragedy and sadness to see how this establishment has deteriorated. In 2019, the first time we visited this place we were fascinated with the mojito, the food and the atmosphere. We have visited more than three times and this was the fourth and the last! The reality is that the place has deteriorated in all three aspects!! The mojito didn't taste any rum, was flat, it didn't even have lemon and the mint was rotten, the voucher is in the photograph. A Cuban restaurant that doesn't sell Cuban staple dish, lechón?! serves plantains with condensed milk?! And the empanadas, the worst we've ever tasted. Half raw and soft. Almost certain, they were heated in the microwave. Unfortunately, La Bodeguita del Medio lost its magic and from the middle was left behind in oblivion. It felt like one was in a ghost town. Not good energy... not a good vibe lacking in flavor by skimping on ingredients. The reflection of what's happening to Cuba :(
