After landing in Puerto Vallarta, we decided to grab a bite before heading to our Airbnb. I'm…read moreclearly writing this review after our Mexico trip, and thinking about all the tacos we have had, I don't think this is the "best" place. We ordered quite a bit: Margaritas (they had a buy 2, get 1 free special), calamari, guacamole, ceviche, and baja shrimp tacos. The shrimp tacos were tasty but served on a radish instead of a traditional tortilla. This was unexpected but okay, especially since it reduced my carb intake, lol. Service was quick. It's outdoor seating, that is covered, and there was a nice breeze. The restaurant is very cute, with great decor. Bathrooms were clean!

The atmosphere is absolute chill, no over bearing waitstaff but you always feel like you are taken care of while you are there. Our waiter is Mauricio who is an absolute superstar. You think it, and he is one the way with it. The preparation of the food is top notch, pulpo is done to perfection and is a good size entree, the molcajete is enormous with individual flavors all presenting themselves while you eat, and did I mention it is served somewhere molten lava. There are multiple areas to dine, outside in the garden area, inside(with air conditioning) or at the bar. Staying in Nuevo Vallarta, make this a stop for dinner

I enjoyed the vibe, and the service was good. The crowd is 60+. Mostly expats. I was underwhelmed and honestly, disappointed by the food, unfortunately. I had very high expectations, given the recommendation. The fare is midwestern US with attempts toward flavor. Believe me I know what I'm talking about because I grew up in a food desert in the American Midwest. It's not Mediterranean. The meats are all undercooked (although they warn you) with liberal use of butter, salt, and cheese throughout. This is like an Olive Garden. I enjoyed my dinner with friends, but won't return unless it's to the cute store.

This cute little spot.. you would never know the food was phenomenal. It was downstairs essentially from where we were staying. They sometimes have live music too, although we didn't' get to see this. The grill has exceptional service and offers poolside dining during the day. It also has AMAZING beach views. Each morning, we enjoyed espressos before our walks.​ The food is outstanding. The steak was a highlight--perfectly cooked and flavorful. I tried the pesto salmon, and while the flavors were delightful, the salmon was slightly overcooked. The tempura was a standout--crispy, light, and not at all greasy. The bruschetta was also delicious. They have a huge menu and plenty to explore if you're staying for a while. Note: they are closed on Tuesdays! We were bummed about that, but happy to have had it one night during our stay!

A bottle of wine and our appetizer arrived promptly. The salad quickly followed. Then we waited. And watched the place get very busy. And waited. At 8:00 I called our waiter over and politely asked if our entrees were near. I was assured they were. At 8:30, I caught his attention and asked (with much frustration) what was going on. At 8:45 (2.5 hours after ordering), I told him to cancel our entrees and bring the check. At 9:00 pm we received our food. I first told him to take it back, but then relented. THREE hours after arriving. It's not the miss, it's the response. No one seemed to care at any point. The GM or chef didn't show up with an apology. No entrees were comped. This also happened to us last Valentine's Day when they were swamped. I told them I would never be back and promptly cancelled our reservations for today, Valentine's Day 2026. We have friends visiting over the next months and have cancelled plans with them as well.

On our last day I managed to find Jerusalem Express and I was so happy. An entire menu that I could eat almost everything. The falafel was incredible - the best I've ever had. Not dry at all. I'd eat falafel all the time if it was always this good. The dips were also incredible. I don't remember what we all had, but meat eaters were also as happy with their options and it was worth the hike from where we were staying to this little place by the hospital. Alon was the only one there on the night we showed up. He took orders, cooked and served everything. As everyone has mentioned - it is like you are in a friend's home who really knows how to cook this type of food. Unfortunately, I enjoyed the food so much I forgot to take any photos. Just go, you won't be sorry. (Be sure to bring cash, though - I had to go back to pick some up.)

We started with chips and some sort of salsa/bean dip, it was almost like refried beans with a tomato salsa. It was very good. I had their fish enchiladas and my Dad had their filet of red snapper. That was served over a crab cake like polenta. I liked the filet better than fish enchiladas. I had the plantain desert and my Dad had the tres leche cake. We had margaritas on the rocks. They don't require reservations For breakfast I ordered the divorce eggs and my Dad ordered the eggs Benedict. The divorce eggs were good, served over tortillas and beans. The eggs Benedict was just okay. The eggs were cooked a little too long and it needed more sauce. The service was slow during breakfast.
