    Great lunch , great price and so delicious. Incredible quality and value. Thecarracheras I could cut with a fork. The homemade tortillas best in forever. Wish I found earlier!!!

    The food tasted great! I have no complains about it. Decent breakfast for the price you pay. The service was great too. Gentleman was really attentive with us. He was a little forgetful of some stuff but was really quick when you reminded him. The only disappointment is how they got out order wrong. I ordered a full waffle but got half a waffle eggs bacon and such(again the food was tasty). Also got a my families order a little wrong too. Although they got that wrong, I would still come back.

    This place is the best choice when traveling on a budget and want to eat good Mexican food at an affordable price in the heart of la Marina Vallarta. We run into this place thanks to recommendations from the bell boy at our hotel. We wanted to eat authentic Mexican food, at an affordable price and good service, but also walking distance from our hotel, and that's how we got to La Canoa. The place is not fancy or elegant but it's very comfortable and clean. The staff is so nice and friendly, the place is always packed (good sign) so they're always running but even then provide a great service. They also have the option of three course meal for lunch for around $79 pesos, or you can order from the regular menu. Anything you choose it will be good. Breakfast was my favorite; I had Huevos divorciados one day, another day oatmeal with milk and another day Chilaquiles. Each one was delicious! Oh and very important to mention their Cafe de Olla (it's coffee boiled in water with cinnamon - typical Mexican grandma style - Ummmm to die for). We discovered this place and ate here the rest of our stay, that's how much I recommend it!

    The 4 salsas they serve

    THE BEST!! we've came here 3 nights out of 5 so far because it's THAT good. the red salsa out of the 4 is my favorite. I get the volcan con aracherra every time. Extremely good prices. Everything about it is wonderful. Staff are awesome.

    Got to where it is supposed to be according to maps, but we were told by the locals that it no longer exists.

    Impressed and then some!…read more A bit skeptical, as it was under new management, but Senõr Carrera and his partner, the chef, took such great care of us and did an AMAZING job from presentation to flavor to making us feel welcome and appreciated. (Disclaimer: Please overlook any gringa estupida Spanglish grammar errors.) Gracias amigos! This place is a hidden GEM. The prices were off-the-charts reasonable and the lobsters were HUGE! Being from the Midwest, mì amigas lobsters would've been close to double, if not more, what we paid. It's not those tiny tails like you get at red lobster either, that jumbo shrimp rival for size. These lobsters were legit! I've seen smaller chihuahuas... We had a party of 6 and no one complained about a single dish, flavor, spice, drink. Sr. Mauricio was fun and attentive. Guacamole was good. Calamari was amazing! Please get it. Best several of us has ever eaten. Not over cooked and spongy. Just fantastico. Perfecto! Get in a taxi and go there. Now. Then go again. Your stomach AND pocketbook will having a full on fiesta! It's colorful and has murals and is just a beautiful experience. We have 3 more days here and we might even go again. We will see what the universe tells us we need in México! Olé!

    This place is nothing short of amazing! 1) to die for food 2) personable & attentive staff 3) clean…read morerestaurant Chef Leo kept amazing us with every plate.. with a party of 12 everyone was eating off each others plate enjoying each savory bite! I believe our waiters name was Maio(?) very friendly and attentive and personable. Claudio's Place is a must when visiting PV. We'll definitely be going back!
