Absolutely amazing views. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We wanted lunch while they were still serving breakfast and they got us a menu. Their breakfast was great and their lunch was good also. Prices are really fair considering you're on the water basically. read more

The last time we were there the service was awful & they had a smaller menu with many of our favorite dishes missing. We waited over an hour to get our entree's. When the bill came they waiter closed it out without a tip. What does that say!! The waiter said they have a new owner. Don't know if we will return again. read more

It is right on the main path and so you might suspect this is totally targeted for tourists with bad food and high prices, but it was not that at all and the food was amazingly fresh and delicious. I had the fish tacos and asked that they grill it instead of fry it. I also had the shrimp and octopus cocktail. Both were just incredible. I was amazed by the lightness and freshness of everything. read more

In all my years coming to Vallarta, I've never once tried Vitea before now. It's in a lovely spot on the Malecon - perfect for a nice breeze, people watching and Pokemon hunting. The service is impeccable, drinks and food top-notch. I will definitely make more of an effort to stop off here when I'm feeling peckish! read more

Food was excellent ! Started with very good bread and butter that started the delicious meal. Had the Fish (mahi-mahi) fillet on a bed with sautéed spinach. Fish was perfectly cooked and the right amount of spicy flavors of the sauce. The dish is offered in two sizes - get the smaller unless sharing Service was good and attentive Ambiance was kinda busy but normal for an ocean front restaurant. Would highly recommend this restaurant for dinner. Haven't had breakfast yet but looking forward to many meals at this restaurant. read more

Food was excellent- had the Angus beef tips with pasta and veggies Beef was tasty and moist. The whole dish was wonderful. Also had the cauliflower appetizer that was incredible delicious- perfectly cooked with a mild green sauce. Service was average as expected with most restaurants in this city. Kinda busy ambiance but great people watching Would definitely go back !!! read more

The restaurant is beach front, but it can be very busy. The food was fairly average, not my favorite. There are a lot of homeless walking around that will walk up straight to your table, and the restaurant is very nonchalant about it. read more

Delicious eggs Benedict and tasty Bloody Mary's right on the ocean. We dined here after attending the 10AM English mass at Our Lady of Guadeloupe and noticed other "locals" who were at same service eating there too. If in central check this place out. Exceeded our expectations! read more

Very pleasant area on the Malecón. Indoor seating or sidewalk under sun umbrellas. Extensive menu with very fair prices. Very prompt & professional service. Full bar & credit cards accepted. If you are looking for a cheap yet hearty breakfast: check out their offering at 129 pesos: 3 scrambled eggs, bacon, roasted potatoes, beans, toast, juice & coffee. ($6.50 USD). read more

Please keep the following in mind while reading this review: We came in on a Wednesday night, with moderate foot traffic out front, and the restaurant itself wasn't terribly busy, I wouldn't even say dinner rush was there, just kinda a normal Wednesday night level of diners. I'll start by saying when we actually got it, the food was pretty good. The service was this establishments downfall however. We were seated at one of their outdoor tables, and not even one of the outermost tables at that, a good middle table bordered by tables on all sides, this is important to a later part of the story. We ordered our food, 3 of us got the special, one of us the fish of the day. Food was well cooked, and well seasoned. Nothing really stood out, but it was a good meal, when we finally got the food. Took about 20 minutes for our apps to come out, and then about 30 minutes before we got our main course, and another 20-25 minutes for us to finally get asked if we were ready for our deserts, and then another 10-15 minutes for them to get there. During these large swaths of time there was no checkins from the waiter to see if we needed anything or anything of the sort. Perhaps this isn't a cultural norm at restaurants in Mexico, and I'm being over-sensitive because I'm used to American and European dining experiences, who knows. There were however several checkins by street beggars. Now remember when i said we weren't on a border table so theres both a combination of these beggars having some cajones on 'em, and the restaurant not doing anything about it. It also took an inordinately long amount of time for us to get our check. At any rate, the food was good, id give it a solid 5/7, but the service really killed this spot for me. read more

Great food with a beautiful view of the ocean! All of our food was excellent! The chicken in the sandwich was cooked perfectly. They also remembered my mom from the last time she was here and cooked her favorite dish that is off the menu! read more

They have gazpacho which I loved! The guacamole was good and fresh. The iced teas were a little lacking in flavor. The location is super convenient as it's two blocks from Our Lady of Guadalupe. If you just want to get out of the afternoon sun, Starbucks is very close read more

First of all, we didn't have a reservation and were feeling slightly uncomfortable about how we were treated. The restaurant was maybe three quarters full if that. Our waiter, Antonio, was just there to take our order, no personality at all. Our food, when it finally arrived and after two margaritas waiting was simply so so. This was our first dining experience out, we are here for 6 weeks and we won't be back, ever. Make a reservation this month of February to get where you want to eat! read more

Was there last night. Disappointing to say the least. We are used to typical PV service, but this seemed much slower than usual. My wife had duck and I had the red snapper and lobster linguini. The presentation and flavor of mine left much to be desired. (Lobster cut in half lengthwise and charred.). Most expensive item on the menu and I was disappointed. Over priced and we won't be coming back. We have been coming to PV for 10 years, first time here based on recommendations, and this was not what we expected from such a highly rated restaurant. Three stars only because the duck was "OK", otherwise a solid two. read more

Excellent for brunch and dinner. Food is fresh, flavorful, and elegant. Service is prompt and professional. Price is more than other PV places, but less than many as well. So a great experience at a mid-range price. Is right at the south end of the Malecon with beautiful ocean views and people watching galore. Outdoor seating with canopies, so you are protected from the sun. But some inside seating too. Brunch offerings are wide-ranging with mainly North American style options - all with slight Mexican twists. Quiche with roasted vegetables was AMAZING! Salad with interesting and yummy too. Can't remember any specifics about our dinner last year, but all six of us enjoyed our meals. read more

One of my PV faves!! Greek salad, so yummy... And you can't get a better people watching spot. read more

Vitea is a popular spot during the day and night. They are right along the Malecon which is the main walkway along the beach and from one side of town to the other. It is a lovely spot for lunch but at night the whole area really comes alive. They have a wide variety of food and drinks and can also get busy so reservations are recommended. I had the rigatoni and I really enjoyed it. I ordered the small size which was still quite a generous portion. The cauliflower appetizer was enjoyed by everyone as was the tempura shrimp. Friday and Saturday night are especially busy with all of the locals coming out to enjoy themselves and to take advantage of the cooler weather. read more

Nice location on the boardwalk. Had Fish tacos and friends had shrimp salad. Great food Great location

What a welcomed experience . Our group was so undecided what to eat. We kept walking up and down the oceanfront. Finally, with everyone bickering we landed in Vitea. And wow! We were pleasantly surprised. The food was so well balanced and crafted, the drinks were on point. Truly, a sensory event! Come with patience my friends, the staff are working very hard, and trying to make everyone happy. Come enjoy the views, come enjoy the food, and leave stuffed. I can't wait to go back! read more

Ok food with a view.. a bit touristy so you're mainly paying for the atmosphere. $6 for a bottle of water you can get for less than a $1 a few stores down. They do take pesos, credit cards and US dollars. Service was good, bathrooms are tiny, atmosphere was nice. read more

Incredible food. On the boardwalk. Had my reservations about the place. Thought maybe due to its location it would be a tourist trap. Was I incredibly surprised. We had the calamari and octopus appetizer delicious! Salmon w rice entree amazing and the fettuccine fruto mare we split. All were delicious and fresh. Sooo good. This place is a must if you enjoy italian style seafood. Will be back to try more of the menu. The service was friendly and efficient and not at all over bearing. read more

Best Breakfast in Puerto Vallarta! Right on the boardwalk with amazing views of the ocean.

This place is great, the ratings are accurate. I'd like it if we could give half ratings because they are more of a 4.5. Very please, service was amazing. I got the fish tacos which is something I rarely order after having the perfect ones years ago in Ensenada and being disappointed since so I gave up trying, well lesions learned, don't give up. I loved my meal and will be back. The view of course is amazing but unlike other places with great views they don't let that allow them to relax their standards. This is a must visit! Oh and my comment about the napkins was meant for all the places here, when you visit you'll know what I mean. read more

Do yourself a favor and stop in for the cheese plate and calamari! The bread and sauces at this spot are great. The calamari was fried nicely and it was so tender! Perfection. My only other recommendation is sit inside. I know the view on the patio is nice but you'll be constantly annoyed by the barkers selling jewelry and hair braiding. If you must sit on the patio, sit back away from the rail. read more

We had a roasted cauliflower salad starter an as part of restaurant week a roasted eggplant dish that is my wife's favorite veggie dish of all time. Please consider adding this to the regular menu Awesome Awesome food don't miss this place if you're in PV read more

There were only two other occupied tables so it wasn't that busy during peak lunch time. They apparently had 2-for-1 beers which they didn't tell us, so we got 2 beers each. I was with my kids and not planning on having two beers. Lots of street vendors come up to you, even if you're seated alongside the building - servers don't say anything to them. They don't have a kids menu. 3yo Son wanted chicken fingers/tenders and daughter mac and cheese. They couldn't make chicken fingers, but pointed to another expensive, adult-sized chicken entree. I thought that was strange that they had chicken options for adults but couldn't make a kids version.. Server said he'd make pasta alfredo (no meat) for my 5yo, but then charged us $175. I pointed out other similar entrees are $100 MX, but they didn't budge. Felt like they took advantage because we're tourists. Overall it was okay. I imagine it's best if you just order what's on the menu and enjoy the view. Also their flowers attract bees so be aware if you sit alongside the bushes/flowers. We kept fighting them off our drinks. I'll be avoiding this place next time. I don't recommend it for families with young kids. read more

Nice setting, right on the Boardwalk on the Malecon. As we are supposed to, we ordered bottled water with our lunch. My guess is they refilled the bottles - the waiter brought the bottle to the table with the lid off. My wife got sick right away. You don't want details. Other than that, the food and service were pretty good. Not great, not bad. Unfortunately it was all overpowered by getting sick on a great vacation to PV. read more

I never miss the fish tacos when I am in town. Also I love omelettes. Great outdoor patio with breathtaking views.

The calamari is to die for...just kidding. Best we've had in ages. I had the best damn piece of red snapper-small plate and barely finished it. Wife has eggplant ravioli-superb with just sauce. And great vodkas(doubles pour) on the rocks. Enjoy and knock yourself out too! read more

This place sucks. Waiters are nice that's it . Food was terrible. Shrimp tempura was popcorn shrimp. Sangria was watered down like a gatorade and the easiest Pasta "pomodoro" tasted like Chef boyardee. I should have gone back to Joe jacks fish shack. I don't know about these yelp reviews. Starting to think the average yelper has a dangerously underdeveloped palette, but I guess if you're eating McDonald's everyday this place might be a step up. Don't bother . Don't even get me started on the amount of grizzle on my friends steak. Party of 7 won't return. read more

Vitea has been one of my most favorite Vallarta restaurants for years. I actually prefer the more casual ambience here to the stuffiness I feel at Trio. The food is equally as good if not better seeing as they also offer the absolute most delicious breakfasts and lunches as well. I seriously have never had anything here that I did not ABSOLUTELY LOVE. Great spot to have some of the best food ever as you watch the world pass you by on the Malecon , the boat tours passing by on the ocean, or quite possibly the best sunset you have ever seen! read more
