5 stars for the views and ambience, 4 stars for the food We…read morestopped here on our hike to los animas and back as we heard it was good and it was nice to stop on the hike here instead of eating in the touristy los animas area. The view and vibe was so relaxing! I could have sat here for hours, but we had a hike to finish. Note we came on a Friday at 2pm and there were not many people here, so it was extra relaxing. Food: Chicken, broccoli, flatbread: delicious blend of flavors with a lemony white bean spread and the pomegranate seeds. This stood out as a favorite dish in PV. Shrimp: We ordered the shrimp on the waiter's recommendation and it was not our favorite. The sauce lacked acidity and flavor and it was messy to peal the shrimp. Ceviche: made in the regular ceviche style (not ground like Vallarta style), this was very tasty! Recommend. Prices: definitely a pricey lunch. We got one drink and 3 food items for about $90 usd. But you are definitely paying for the vibe and fresh ingredients on a secluded beach. We loved the atmosphere and would return!

This place is an absolute gem! I truly don't understand why it has negative reviews because it's…read moreone of the most beautiful places we have ever been to. We like going to places where we're comfortable and can truly enjoy vacation with good service, good food and a nice views and this place checked off every bit of our list. Only accessible by boat makes it ex inclusive, a beautiful private beach, much nicer than most beaches in Puerto Vallarta. The little houses are all gorgeous nestled in the jungle with every comfort you may need. No, you don't have AC but you have a fan and a beautiful private beach and that is all you need. Everyone who works here was amazing, we went right after a tropical storm and they had a lot of things they had to work around and they did everything possible to make sure we were taken care of. the food and drinks were delicious and fresh, the massages were great and Mateo was absolutely amazing at making sure we were comfortable. The beach club on Saturday was so much fun, there are other beaches you can walk to and waterfalls you can hike too. Just bring a good attitude and check this place out.

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.

The shin is crispy and flavorful and the meat inside juicy. It's delight to sit in his riverside restaurant and enjoy the view of children playing, birds, donkeys, horses and life in the up river community.

I have since returned many times and I feel like an updated review is important because this is one of the best restaurants that I have ever eaten at across the globe for authentic Mexican cuisine, especially Mariscos. The atmosphere is local, authentic, quaint, and welcoming. Abuela can be seen in the kitchen hand making the tortillas so you know it's gonna be an amazing experience. The seafood is fresh and the food comes with a platter of sauces and pico de gallo and hot peppers that complement whatever dish you may order. The prices are fair and quite inexpensive when compared to prices back in the United States. There is a view during the day and at night, festive lights, set the tone for a magical evening. In short, having traveled across this wonderful globe and eaten at many Michelin starred restaurants, as well as local places like this, I can confidently say this is in the top 10 list of my favorite spots to enjoy a meal!

Wow!! Quality food. Simple menu of tacos, salads, quesadillas, etc but it's all amazing. I haven't…read moreseen such a nice salad here in Mexico! The tacos are hand made blue corn to order! Cocktails, beer and wine. They open at 5pm and people were waiting to get in.

Asked the owner for a recommendation and she suggested the stuffed mahi mahi for 390 - most expensive item. It was just okay. And I got a bottle of water and was charged 90. Total ripoff.

Mi Ranchito is part of the growing shoreline in the small village of Boca de Tomatlán at the mouth of an inlet roughly 10 miles south of downtown Puerto Vallarta. Construction was busy in several newish places as we walked from the parking area to the restaurant which sits right on the water. We stopped here for lunch as part of an ATV tour. The cafe is open air and covered, benefiting from a cool breeze blowing in off the pacific. Inside is comfortable, with sand for a floor that feels nice on bare feet. The menu is standard. We ordered ceviche, which came as a very large portion. The Mexican salsa, a tomato, jalapeño, and onion mixture common in this area, was spicier than others we've had. One of our party ordered the Pineapple Surprise, a drink that is served inside a carved pineapple, with a face made of fruit and toothpicks on the front. It was definitely a crowdpleaser. Other dishes we tried were octopus- based and rated fine to not so good. My only minor gripe is the table server used her rapport with us to hit us with a sales pitch for necklaces made of whale bones and shells. Her prices were high and, as always here, negotiating tactics were strong. I typically just wave the vendors off cuz they seem to get pissy if you take an interest then decide not to buy. I'd rather not mix that dynamic with table service. Other than that, three stars for Mi Ranchito. And I expect this area will likely grow in the coming years to have some better competition. The location is great!

We took a 20 minute Uber ride to have a beach day outside of zona Romantica where we were staying. We decided to leave because we were hungry and realized that one of the restaurants we bookmarked was just a 10 minute walk and decided to check it out. We were there celebrating a special birthday so we wanted to have one nice dinner and this is the place we chose. We got there around 5 PM and we were the only ones there on a Saturday but it was off-season (Aug) so PV in general was pretty quiet. We were welcome by a friendly man who took us to the top floor with a mountain beautiful view which actually was a nice change from the ocean. The greenery was beautiful. This restaurant is known for their seafood and boy was it fresh. They don't have a specific menu, but rather they bring out a tray of their fresh selection of the day. Everything was beautiful and the shrimp was gigantic. We opted for the red snapper, lobster and the large shrimp. Everything was cooked to perfection and was absolutely delicious. Oh, and I have to make a point of mentioning their margaritas. Fresh fruit margaritas... So yummy. We tried the mango margarita with fresh mangoes and strawberry margarita as well. I just love drinks made with fresh fruits. I think it was my favorite margarita of the entire trip. I do highly recommend you check this place out. The food is phenomenal and the service is wonderful. The 20 minute Uber ride cost about US$15 so well worth it, especially if you do a beach day and make a day of it.
