We had a nice lunch here on a recent visit to Yelapa. I got a shrimp salad over avocado, which was…read moretasty and a plentiful portion. This dish included an ENTIRE avocado! Which was a pleasant surprise. They had a number of seafood options, and some chicken options that all looked appealing. We were able to sit out on the front patio, which was nice for people watching on the street that runs in front of Cafe Eclipse and also provides a view of what's going on across the way, over at Mimi's. Margaritas were fresh and tasty, but did take quite a while to receive. The location of the restaurant, being away from the water and sort of tucked into the village streets, makes it a little close and stuffy, even sitting outside, but if you prefer heat, you will enjoy this! Bathrooms are through the interior and in the back garden. Apparently there is a shared sink (for all genders) outside the WC's, but I failed to notice this to be able to use it. Recommended.

The restaurant is essentially a large open air patio (that's covered) with a view of the river. A small lunch menu, but a nice selection that should satisfy. Best part is the food was quite tasty and made with fresh ingredients, I enjoyed the chicken enchiladas and they were perfectly seasoned with a great enchilada sauce, and just the right amount of cheese. Prices here are fair and the enchilada portion plate was more than enough for one grown man. There's a large bar and people were sipping margaritas and cocktails. I enjoyed the Micheladas. I'm not an ice cream eater; however, if you are, you absolutely must come here because the other patrons were enjoying several kinds of ice cream that looked quite delicious and unusual. And you could peruse the freezer and choose the type of flavor that you wanted. I would absolutely come back. It is not in the Pueblo so that if you are walking up the river either on your way or on your way back do yourself a favor and stop here!! Keep in mind you have to cross over the suspension bridge to get there.

Went went there for New Year's Eve dinner and they had a limited menu just for that night which the server needed to explain to us. The food is always served quickly. We will go back next visit.

The Mrs. and I traveled to Yelapa beach yesterday and ended up at Domingo's…read more When you get off the water taxi from Puerto Vallarta there are several places for you to hang out on the beach. You are told that beach hangout is "included"(food and drinks not included) in with your water taxi fare. Each of the various spots have a handler on the beach enticing you to visit their beach bar/restaurant that includes restrooms. You're kind of trapped on the beach in a way. There is no signage directing you to the town of Yelapa and when you ask one of the handlers they try to sell you an "excursion". Needless to say the situation is a little frustrating. We ordered Margaritas and nachos. The drinks were really good but the nachos really weren't. Basically, just melted Monterey Jack cheese on chips topped with tough tiny bits of beef served with Pico de Gallo on the side. The service we received was great. We read several Yelp reviews about added charges. We didn't experience that but be prepared just in case. Take a picture of the menu and use it when the time comes to reconcile your check. Also, bring pesos. DO NOT use a debit or credit card. All of the beach from joints take them but you run the risk fraud. There are two ways to get to Yelapa. You can take the bus from PV to Boca for eight pesos per person (one way) then take a water taxi to Yelapa for about 180 pesos round trip per person. Or you can take the water taxi from Los Muertos Beach pier in PV for 500($30 U.S.) round trip. I recommend taking the water taxi from PV and save yourself the hassle of getting to and riding the bus. The journey to Yelapa is about 45 minutes.

On the second night we went our party was pretty large (12 people) and they moved things around so that we could all sit comfortably. They were also very patient with the non-Spanish-speaking people in our party and were happy to make recommendations. Would definitely come here again!

Will definitely return and try some of their other entrees!
