El Nuevo Vallarta Sports Bar & Grill

After years of trying different seafood spots in the area, we finally found the one. From the moment we walked in until we left, everything was amazing. The host was friendly, as was our waitress. The Anclote micheladas were delicious, and the food was just as impressive! A singer moved between tables, creating a lively atmosphere, and the service was both excellent and fast. Portions were generous; I ordered the Vallarta mojarra with mariscos, and my husband got the Chapuzón dinner. Although his portion was smaller than mine and a bit more expensive, even though his meal and whatever they put on top of mine seem to be the same kind of food. Both dishes were incredibly flavorful with just the right amount of spiciness. The only downside to our experience was a random girl who suddenly started taking pictures of us. We assumed it was for social media, but she later returned with prints, offering them for $20 each. While they weren’t the best or worst photos, we bought one because we felt a bit pressured. It would’ve been nice if she’d asked if we wanted photos taken beforehand. Aside from that, everything was perfect. We’ll definitely recommend this place to everyone and will be back next time we’re in the area. We live about four hours away, but the food here is worth the trip!

Went there on a Tuesday night so it was kinda dead but good music. The atmosphere is great, the staff is super friendly. The food was delicious as well so were the drinks. I definitely will be coming back to this place and try different dishes. I do recommend this place.

This restaurant has the majority of spicy food. They have a small selection of steak options. However, the Skirt steak was delicious. They have a full bar station, absolutely 💯 love it!! ☆Don't recommend for a date. (It's very loud)

I was here celebrating my 20 year anniversary with my family today and my teenager daughter didn’t want to order an adult plate so we tried to order her a kids plate , when the server Francis who was the greatest about our visit here , tells us that if she’s older than 8 she can not sell us a plate for we were stunned! To me that’s very dumb policy , the food and the environment was great but that policy should be overlooked since all of us that have teenagers sometimes is hard to get them to eat in a restaurant like this we’re most of the plates are seafood that we love but them not so much

I like to visit restaurants that have live music…the main reason I chose this place. I was excited to eat, drink and listen to music. They have many seafood options but a bit pricey. It was busy—no wait time. They sat us in this space where only 4 tables fit, I was literally facing a closet door. I was disappointed. They gave me the wrong drink and wanted to charge more for it. The server fixed it. Food was okay, not the greatest.

Mariscada Vallarta was amazing! Waitress was accommodating. Always attentive, making rounds and ensuring we didn’t need anything. A bit pricier than anticipated, compared to other places. However the mood in the patio, the food and the service balance everything out. Happy we decided to try this place out. We’ll be back!

For some reason this place has bad ratings, however, I don’t understand why. The food at Nuevo Vallarta is so fresh and delicious. I always share a small tray of langostinos 🍤 and sometimes another small appetizer like a sushi roll. For mains I always get the Pasta brava! Definitely one of my favorite entrees. My partner always gets the arroz con mariscos and always order an extra side of bread because it’s that good.

The food was ok, the atmosphere was good vibes. Only issue was the waitress made a mistake on our order and wasn't trying to exchange or redo the order. And I was shock at the employees for saying that they couldn't do nothing to fix the issue. In order words I was stuck with a plate that the employee mistook and I paid the price. Eventually another nice gentleman along with a other nice employee female came along and fix the issue and brought a new plate. And issue fix. But the damage was done. Will i come back? No
