    The driver recommended this place and it was so fun. The mariachi guys have beautiful voices and take requests. Margaritas are huge, so be careful. Although it seemed like everyone in that restaurant was having a blast, which may be correlated to the margarita size?? Best part, the food! Usually the fun places don't have great food, but I love, loved my seafood enchiladas. The chips, guacamole, and salsa were also delish. The efficiency in that place was spectacular, so if you're not impressed with the fun stuff then just watch how the staff works in harmony.

    Came here on a recommendation from family friends. It was fantastic. Come with an appetite. Definitely get the margaritas. Staff were attentive and food came out quick.

    We have been looking for Pipi's ever since an amazing experience 25 years ago. We don't think we found our "original," but this one is just fine. Saw some pretty tepid reviews about tourist trap etc, but we were chasing nostalgia. [I would agree the fajitas were not looking amazing or filling the dining room with sizzling aroma.] This is a dinks & appetizer review, since we have another favorite PV taco spot we were eating lunch at. The margaritas are Yuge! I had a frozen strawberry, my wife a skinny on the rocks. We both really enjoyed, hard not to when it's blazing hot outside and you can cool down with a big cold drink. I couldn't taste the alcohol, but felt it after my 2nd one on an empty stomach 100%. Service was very very good. From being seated, to taking drink orders, to refilling chips and salsa, staff was on point. The table side guacamole guy was all smiles and made a mean guac, extra spicy please & thank you. We appreciated the AC and so did many others as it grew to almost a full house in the lower dining room during lunch rush.

    We've passed by this restaurant several times and finally decided to give it a try. It didn't disappoint...from food to service. The restaurant was very busy but we were quickly seated and drink order taken. The menu seems to have something for everyone but we settled on a combo to share along with some margaritas. Complimentary chips and salsa was a surprise - great flavor with the salsa and freshly made chips for the perfect combo. Our meal was plenty for 2 with a burrito, enchilada, tamale and taco. We will definitely return. One note - the restaurant was extremely loud!

    5 food and service! Very clean restaurant and fun atmosphere. We ordered the wet burritos and guacamole. Both were delicious. I will be back next time I'm in town.

    We were told when you vacation in PV, Pipi's is a must visit! It didn't let us down. The margaritas are a staple - and they are LARGE. They are also know for their fajitas, so if that is your thing you'd also enjoy a meal here. Me? Yeah I targeted the sour cream chicken enchiladas and asked them to spice it up as always! They obliged by making mine red and it had the desired heat level. Overall, everyone enjoyed their meal and voted it the best Mexican that we have had among the handful that were tried. The atmosphere is also generally fun! Live music and a bustling full space. The service is impeccable. I don't think they will allow you to run out of chips and salsa. Guacamole made to spice level at your table. All staples of great Mexican restaurants in my book!

    A tourist attraction on many levels. Huge selection of traditional tequila drinks served in LARGE (takes 2 hands to hold) glasses. A menu consisting of yummy favorites such as flaming fajitas, chimichangas and burritos with numerous fillings. HUGE portions. Be prepared to take some of your food home. Friendly service. Credit cards. The kind of place, when the music is playing: you stand near your table and dance. Fun but noisy and not good for conversations. Try it. Well established business that understands customer service.

    This is our second time at Pipi's, Puerto Vallarta, on Dia de los Muertos weekend. We love the huge blended fruit margaritas, and the yummy also huge platters of food, all for a very reasonable price. I chose to order the marinated skirt steak. To my surprise, it was accompanied by a Chile Relleno, a chicken enchilada, cheese quesadillas, tomato rice, refried beans, a large scoop of guacamole, and pico de gallo! To say the least, a good portion of it came home. On this special weekend, there is also live mariachi music. But if you want to get away from that, there's a way to do that, too. They have an extra dining room that is slightly away from the main room. Service is excellent. The manager kept checking that we were good, as well as the waiters. Definitely make a reservation because there is a line out the door, especially especially on this popular weekend.

    We went to Pipi's as part of a tour of Puerto Vallarta. We had a good time and a good meal. The restaurant was clean and spacious. The staff were very friendly and entertaining. Since it was Halloween they were dressed up which was fun. The food servings were very big and I wished I had split the fajita plate.

    We loved Pipi's so much that we ended up coming here 3 times during our 10 day stay in Puerto Vallarta. We always got the table-side guacamole and split a chimichanga since they are huge. All of the food coming out looked wonderful, especially the fajitas that they flame up with tequila. I also recommend the homemade flan, so delicious. Great people working here and very friendly service. It is very open, can get loud, but extremely fun. We were lucky enough to be there when the Mariachi Band was playing. Great times! Outstanding drinks. I had the Cadillac margarita and it didn't disappoint. It can get a bit crowded, but they do take reservations. If not, no worries. The service is so great that they keep things moving along, but you're never rushed. We plan to visit PV in a few months and Pipi's will always be on our must to do list.

    Fantastic. Best time ever. Pipi's never disappoint even when it has been years in-between. Love their Birthday celebrations.

    Chile rellenos

    OMG, this place is amazing. We had the taquitos rancheros and the chile rellenos. Servings were huge and the price was right!! Want to come back to try the fajitas as they looked and smelled wonderful

    The mariachi band performing table side is a great experience and so is the guacamole made fresh table side as well.

    I went to Barcelona Tapas each time I visit Puerto Vallarta. I made reservations for 6:30, so I…read morecould experience the sunset. It did not disappoint. It is outdoor seating. I was placed by the glass for the view. (It can be requested, but not expected.) The martinis were great. I got the fried goat cheese and the ham & chicken croquettes. My party of 3 went to just me, so that was enough. It would have been nice to try some other things, but it was my last night in PV and what I got was satisfying. Live music was playing throughout my evening. First, just a guitarist and then, 2 others joined him. Great vibe and wonderful food. Just right for my last night.

    This was my favorite place in Puerto Vallarta! The view, the ambience, the service, the food, they…read morehave it all here! 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!
