Village salad was so good. Salmon, chicken, lamb chops- all very tasty. Dessert was key lime pie with chocolate crust- unreal!!! Sangria and hot chocolate were both great. Indoor area was so cute with artwork and cute pottery for sale. Outside area was beautiful filled with greenery and beautiful cobblestone. Service was amazing! Our server was wonderful. We will definitely come back here every year.

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.

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

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.)

Mi Café continues to be one of our favorite spots in Puerto Vallarta…read more Everything we ordered was outstanding. The Asian chicken soup was deeply comforting and flavorful; light yet incredibly satisfying. The tuna poke was beautifully presented and spot-on with flavor; fresh, bright, and perfectly balanced. Then came the chicken Alfredo... and wow. Rich, creamy, indulgent, and honestly one of the best we've ever had. Do not skip the hibiscus agua fresca (called Jamaica in Mexico); refreshing, slightly tart, and the perfect companion to the meal. My hubbs even said that if he had to choose one restaurant in Puerto Vallarta as his favorite, Mi Café would be it for its consistency and value. Charming ambiance, thoughtful presentation, and genuinely warm service make Mi Café an easy recommendation. We'll absolutely be back.

If you're feeling increasing guilt about your intake of fish tacos and margaritas, you might…read moreconsider coming here for breakfast. It wasn't a place that would indulge your weakness for gluttony. That was fine by me and Jamie W since we were looking for something tasty but not excessive for breakfast. We were in luck because we found such a place in Mi Cafe. We thought we'd have to wait a while for a table, but fortunate for us, a table opened up just as we entered what looked to be quite a popular restaurant. Jamie went for the MX$165 Popeye Eggs, a pair of scrambled eggs laid on a bed of fresh spinach leaves, ladled with ranchero sauce, and presented with avocado, cherry tomatoes, fresh basil and crispy bacon strips (Photo 10). The freshness of the ingredients really enhanced the flavors of the dish. The same could be said about my order, the MX$165 Vegetarian Omelette which was a fluffy two-egger filled with zucchini, red onion, spinach, and sliced mushrooms accompanied by seasoned potato wedges and a fresh fruit cup (Photo 9). No toast needed as the plates were quite satisfying on their own. FOOD - 4 stars...lighter breakfast plates that satisfy AMBIANCE - 4 stars...spacious, bustling SERVICE - 4 stars...attentive, efficient TOTAL - 4 stars...definitely a spot to try in Zona Romantica RELATED - Exploring Puerto Vallarta?

La Pergola is one of the all inclusive restaurants at Marival. It used to be Mediterranean, but now…read moreit's Mexican. We ate there once for dinner and once for breakfast. 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.

I found our dinner here to be slightly below average. The staff was friendly and the drinks great, but the food was dry and portions small. The breakfast, on the other hand, was pretty good.

We got everything on the menu almost and just sampled each other's plates. Same with the drinks. I especially liked the octopus appetizer and octopus entree. VERY fresh and flavorful. The shrimp is also amazing. Again, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu but i definitely recommend the octopus and trying a few cocktails. Save room for dessert as well. We really enjoyed the chocolate lava cake!

There's an ample dining room and seating along the sidewalk. We chose to sit outside to enjoy our meal. I got the Greek Lemonade for my drink and it was delicious. We got some hummus and pita to start and the pita was really good. For my meal I got the octopus. It was amazing. It was flavorful and tender, cooked to perfection. It comes with some thinly sliced potatoes underneath the octopus and a delicious pickled vegetable salad on the side. A plus, they take credit cards. Overall we had great service and food. If I ever go back to Puerto Vallarta I'll definitely go here again.
