Great service and delicious food. The omelette that I had was prepared perfectly and was very flavorful, as were the mussels. Clean and neat, comfortable seating and the coffee was great too. I will definitely be back again.

Angus strip loin with shrimp, a baked potato and a side of mushrooms. Served on a bed of spinach with a balsamic vinegar reduction.

Basic quality food restaurant. I ordered an Angus strip loin with a baked potato and mushrooms. My order arrived in a reasonable amount of time and cooked perfectly. The steak was tender and delicious. Served with on a bed of spinach with a balsamic vinegar reduction. I had shrimp as well. With one beer, my order came to 352 Mexican pesos. I asked for a frosty, cold glass and a cold beer. Cost 32 pesos. The service was fast, timely and friendly. This restaurant serves basic, tasty food in a pleasant environment. This is not a gourmet restaurant. However, it does the job well. There was live music. I have eaten at this restaurant many times and over a decade. The quality of food and the service has been consistent and excellent over time. I stay with the simple fare.

Such a great martini!

We have been coming to Hard Rock Vallarta for several years and were looking for some place different to have dinner when we happened upon Nopalitos. What a gem! The food, service and ambiance are amazing. Yes, it's in a mall but it's amazing! Tonight there was live music with one man and his guitar. So good! The best martini we've had here too! Cost is super affordable! Must try Place if you're ever in the area.

This restaurant has been a favorite restaurant when we visit our place in Paradise Village. Do not let the fact that the restaurant is in a shopping mall make a decision for you. The menu selection is excellent and everything from Tacos to a 2 pound lobster for dinner and pancakes at breakfast. The service is always top notch and they accommodate requests even for a youngster who wanted mac n cheese. The atmosphere is casual since most of the seating is on the upper level of a shopping mall. And another outstanding quality is the pricing. A seafood grill for two that has lobster, shrimp, scallops and octopus is only $23 USD. If you are in the Nuevo Vallarta area and want a casual place to eat, casual atmosphere with excellent pricing and service. Try Napalitos

OMG! We had the best time at The Blue Shrimp in Nuevo Vallarta. The atmosphere and ambience was…read morespectacular. As we walk into the restaurant, I was taken back by the beautiful view of the water and the wide open spares of the restaurant it self. The restaurant very tall ceiling made of palm tree branches. The lighting is beautiful and mystical. They have large pictures of the owner and famous actors and actress, and singers. They also have a large walk-in wine cooler that is visible from the outside. Very fun! We were grated right away by a very kind young man. We then were escorted to our table that was located towards the right side of the restaurant over looking the water. Definitely the best table in the restaurant. We were given menus and a cocktail/wine list. The hostess pulled out my mom's and my chair to be seated. After glancing over the menu we decided to order a bottle of wine for the four of us. My kids pick a Diet Coke and Dr. Peper. We were also given bottle water to drink as well. Once are drinks were ordered, we ordered dinner. My dad order the red snapper, my mom ordered the Lobster pizza, my husband ordered the mochaheta, my son got the Surf and Turf, my daughter ordered the sea food pasta, and I ordered the coconut shrimp. Everything came out amazing and out of this world yummy. The presentation was OMG!! Best restaurant we ate at over our 12 day stay. Can't wait to go back. And we even celebrated my daughter's birthday. The candle was my favorite party. See you guys soon.

My wife and I have visited Nuevo Vallarta several times but have ever eaten at the Blue Shrimp…read morebefore. Based on the positive reviews from Yelp, we thought we've give it a try. Oh man, they did not disappoint. Starting first with the guacamole, which was made table-side, it was so fresh and seasoned just right. We decided to stay with the Shrimp entrees, my wife choosing the jumbo garlic, and i had the Arriero jumbo shrimp. I must say it was the BEST grilled shrimp we have ever had. It was butterflied, and was so succulent and tender. Just amazing. We finished off with the lava cake, and it was perfectly baked with a liquid chocolate center. We are staying at the Flamingos Villa Del Palmar, and it only a $9.00 Uber ride to the Restaurant. If your are craving grilled shrimp, this is the place to go.

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
