This hidden gem is tucked away up in the Romantic zone off the beach. It's a cash only establishment and very simple decorations. The menu is simple and I am giving a 4/5 because everything BUT our main dish were delicious. We started with tequila obviously, chips and salsa (yum), octopus (tasty) and the ravioli (just ok) then we ordered the platter for two and eh.... sadly it was underwhelming. The crab and lobster were very small and the scallops were over powered by other flavors. Want to know that flavor...? Burnt garlic! Hard crispy burnt pieces of garlic covered the platter. Ick. read more

What a unbelievable meal , everything was perfect, the bacon wrapped Jumbo Shrimp Was soooo good , and the seafood platter was an assortment of many delicate flavors . This place deserves more than 5 stars , we give it a 10 . read more

Polo's - Dinner , it's Andrews happy smile - Seafood Near Me - Puerto Vallarta, JAL

I've come to PV for 12 years and have eaten at many great places but then I found Polos a few years ago. I was there the night they opened and go several times while in PV. The serving is amazing, the food is incredible and the price is inexpensive for this gourmet meal. I think I've had everything in the menu and never disappointed. Great job guys and I wish you much success. I've been four times this trip and I'm in day 8 of my vacation read more

I decided to try it again. This time with worse results, like the before them the coke arrives in a warm can it quickly melts the ice leaving warm, dilute, flat coke. This time bugs are everywhere (flies swarmed when my food arrived. One plate came out with 2 dead ants and one still moving). The Red Snapper tasted good but was hard to eat, skin and head were still on and it wasn't deboned. That and all the bugs made it hard to eat. The server was nice but I won't be back. Note: outdoor space with fans turned for the owners at their table. Also no credit cards. read more

When I arrived I was the only one there. Puerto Vallarta is still trying to recover from the pandemic. I order a combination steak and shrimp fajitas with Just onions. ( I don't like peppers ) was served with flour tortillas. A very nice size portion. I recommend this place. read more

Outstanding!!! Friends had the seafood combo - was a work of art and wonderfully prepared! I had the chicken breast stuffed with cheese, spinach and walnuts with a red wine mushroom rosemary glaze ... DELICIOUS! The sangria was a hit and a nice change from my regular margaritas. Friendly staff! Highly recommend! I will be back! read more

Polo's - Seafood combo - Seafood Near Me - Puerto Vallarta, JAL

We were randomly walking down the street from our hotel and decided to try Polo's. It's by far our best dinner in PV and we'll definitely come back again. Best service, very attentive staff, delicious drinks and amazing food. We ordered three different entrees to share as everything sounded so good. We ordered the giant coconut shrimp, the chicken breast and fettuccine shrimp. All three were delicious but my favorite was the coconut shrimp in mango sauce. Before we leave I'll try the red snapper mentioned in many of the reviews. I can highly recommend Polo's - a must visit if in old town. read more

Polo's - This is bacon wrapped shrimp with tequila sauce! It is fabulous. My friend always has the red snapper and he absolutely loves it. - Seafood Near Me - Puerto Vallarta, JAL

So....walked by this little oasis and insisted we eat dinner here tonight and it was a winner!!! OMG-so many choices of fresh and delicious prepared entrees-how was I going to be able to choose??? First off-service comment...Yay and so attentive. We each ordered a salad...the fish salad my husband said was so great!!! Nicely prepared and designed and ample. I got the veggie salad and it was so....Good. For our entrees...the mahi mahi pomodoro-if you like tomatoes-this is for you...it came with a side of basil fettuccini . I got the traditional shrimp breaded and came with rice and veggies...fresh fresh and fresh! Prices were so reasonable. We will be back to enjoy the chef's continued preparation and execution of a Delish dining experience. read more

Simply outstanding food, extremely well prepared. Our waiter, Kevin was great. The manager was very attentive. The food was FRESH ... great tortilla soup. The portions are huge. The restaurant is located on the "restaurant strip" in mid-town PV. The decor and ambiance is typically modern-Mexicano: very nice. Prices are quite reasonable: be warned, though--cash only. Highly recommended!!! read more

We walked up and down Basilio Badillo looking for a restaurant that would be able to accommodate both my parents and my pescatarian husband. Polo's did more than that! As we sat down we were told that if what we wanted wasn't on the menu, they would gladly make it for us! We did, however, find meals for all of us on the menu and they were all delicious. From salad, to shrimp, to margaritas everything was fresh, the flavors were on point and the staff was welcoming, helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back when we return to PV! read more

I am being generous with the one star. This is a good location & the previous establishment Mama Rosa's was exceptional. Unfortunately, this place is a dud! Difficult to know who the waiter are. Are they bus boys or waiters ? Impossible to get anyone's attention. I started my dinner with soup. To their credit, it was delicious. That's where it ended. My seafood pasta was bland with an un appealing Alfredo sauce. I sent it back to be redone. When the dish was represented to my table, it was as bad or worse than the dish I had sent back. They don't accept credit cards. To their credit, the deducted the pasta from my bill. I won't be returning ! read more

We eat here 2 or 3 times every time we are in Vallarta. The staff is incredible! Order your delicious margarita and then ask Christian for his recommendation or choose any item from the menu - you're gonna love it! Whether you choose beef, chicken, or fish, Polo's will deliver an exquisite dish with great flavor. I recommend you try the Mahi Mahi marinara and ask for the pasta to go with it instead of the rice. Also, the party for 1 is a great combination of scallops, red snapper, and shrimp in a magnificent sauce. The bread they serve with the Meal is fresh made, slightly toasted and delightful. But save room for Christian's dessert: churro with ice cresm. Yum! Give Polo a try and enjoy one of Vallarta's finest! read more

By far the freshest seafood and best place to eat in PV. Service was great, outdoor dining, delicious snapper, great margs. Best dinner on our vacation. De lejos, el marisco más fresco y el mejor lugar para comer en PV. El servicio era excelente, comedor al aire libre, delicioso pargo, grandes margs. La mejor cena en nuestras vacaciones. read more

I ate here 4 times during my 10 days in PV. The whole grilled red snapper was delicious. The grilled shrimp was good but the lobster was not what I was expecting. All in all the service was attentive, music was nice and food was good. read more

Fabulous restaurant I have been visiting for many years (this location and their prior location at Lima hotel). My favorites are whole red snapper cooked in garlic or their seafood platter for two. Great price/value and atmosphere for the reasonable prices. Local fresh food!! read more

Absolutely amazing. You have to come here if you're in PV! Some of the best seafood you'll find. The tres amigos is my favorite (lobster, shrimp and steak). Very good pico and margaritas too. Friendly service. We stop here every visit, it's a must! read more

Yes, this is the same Polo's that you knew and loved, just moved further west. Same delicious seafood as always, it's a little more on the beaten path. It's still one of my must visits when I'm in town. read more

I have been to Polo's for three years on vacations to Puerto Vallarta. It is a wonderful seafood restaurant, family owned, with a varied menu. Of special note are the flavorful sauces and combinations of food to go along with the fish. "Hector's" for example is Mahi-Mahi with a wonderful carmelized onion and scallop mouse topping. Good salsa, great bread, really friendly family wait staff and nice atmosphere. Piped in music is not too loud and they will turn it down if you ask!!! read more

Excellent, freshly prepared to order food! Very reasonable prices. Great service. Will definitely return!

The food is only exceeded by the hospitality. Although they were out of the ravioli, the Chef created a wonderful entree of scallops in anise cream sauce. That followed the mussels in wine cream sce. read more

Still enjoy dining here. Great friendly service. Love the bacon wrapped shrimp with tequila sauce.

One of the hidden jewels of restaurants in Old Town PV. I have eaten here with my family on several occasions. The shrimp entrees are all amazing with my favorite the Rosy. I have also tried almost every menu item over the years... all delicious. The food presentation is always amazing and the service is consistently spectacular. read more

Not just seafood also other dishes. Great service and good food, Enjoyed the Vegetarian salad as an appetizer- could have been a meal in itself. Also had the Seafood Fettacini. Good price great food good service . Will return read more

My friends and I were referred to this restaurant and we were not disappointed! We had a party of 12, so we called ahead because its a small space. When we arrived they had everything ready for us and were able to accommodate our large group. The waiter was fun and attentive and made sure we were having a great time. The complimentary chips and salsa was amazing! Prices were really good, even better with the exchange from USD to Pesos. My margarita was about $4 USD. I would definitely recommend Polo for an seafood place that is away from the central area. It is still walkable to the "Centro" in case you want to go down there for drinks after dinner! read more

Polo's is as good as it gets for fresh seafood, any style grilled, fried, sautéed, but also very good seafood ravioli and pasta. They serve one of the best Mojito and I've tried many. Had Catch of the Day, fresh Tuna. It was fresh just brought in from local fisherman 2 hours ago. So fresh if you tasted it blind folded you would never know it was tuna or better yet a fish. I have eaten fresh sashimi since I was a kid born in Japan. This was so fresh, I could have eaten it uncooked had I known. Their house seasoning of this pan seared tuna served on vegetables were very tastefully prepared. My wife had chicken fettuccine (I would have had scallops or shrimp) and the creamy sauce was very tasty. A nice clean setting. Not particularly known for the finer decor as what you find in more higher end restaurants if you were into more ambience with classy waiters. Much more casual which is just fine. And much more reasonable priced because of it. So if great foods at reasonable price is what you want. This is IT. We love the place. Chef has been there for 20 years. read more

While visiting PV, we tried fish at four different restaurants. This by far, was the best tasting and best prepared fish we ate during our stay. Service was excellent for us. Then again, there were only a handful of customers at the time. I would definitely eat here again. read more

Salad was good. Service from our designated waiter was iffy,the manager intervened by sending another waiter into our waiter's area when he noted that nothing was being done in the area. The fish was OK at best, my fillet was served with burnt garlic (was to have been sautéed), my spouse ordered stuffed snapper that appeared to be on a steam table too long. read more

We were recommended good seafood restaurants by our hotel concierge. In that list was Mariscos Polo. We confused this place with that one and we paid the price. We were looking for good local seafood not specifically catered to gringos. This place was exactly what we were trying to avoid. It was close to our hotel, had a good location and menus in both Spanish and English. They brought our drinks out then we waited for a good while and no one came to take our order until we flagged someone down. By no means was the place even half full but getting someone to give us service was rough. We waited over an hour for our food to come which I feel was wholly unacceptable. No one checked on us even once during that time. When the food finally came it was unnecessarily ornate for the poor quality of food. Lobster was poor. Scallops undercooked and flavorless. Pretty underwhelming. Maybe if they spent less time decorating the plates and actually serving my food, I could recommend it more. I ordered a Coke when the food came and it took asking two people over a 15 minute period to finally get it. It took about as long to get out check. Don't waste your time here. Just more generic fare catered to idiot tourists who don't know better. I'll be trying Mariscos Polo next time. read more
