Oyster Grill de La Docena

This restaurant offers an impressive selection of fresh ingredients. Personally, I found the local oysters to be the best—very sweet and fresh. The cooked oyster dishes were also highly satisfying. The seared tuna was quite good as well and paired nicely with the beet sauce. The fried calamari was perfectly cooked, striking a balance between crispy and tender, preserving the squid’s texture. We ordered the fries, which seemed to be freshly cut from potatoes; they were incredibly fresh and fried to perfection. The drinks were also decent. The restaurant provides high chairs for children, and the service was friendly. Although the prices are on the higher side, likely due to the touristy location, it’s a nice place to enjoy a meal while watching the sunset and feeling the sea breeze.

Wow, you have to eat here if you can. This place was my favorite all week. Ambience is also lovely. My favorite was the barbacoa taco but loved my fish taco and grilled vegetables too. Presentation is amazing and the food was fresh. They have this hot sauce that says Diablo, it is sooo good. Like a Tabasco but more well rounded. It is American priced but everything was done well. Oh and the Bloody Mary was great too!

Had lunch here with a friend, drawn in by the promise of crab claws. The restaurant sits right on the malecón, offering great views of the ocean and the lively waterfront. The setting is decent, though the bathrooms could use an update, especially given the prime location. As for the food— the crab claws were underwhelming, the grilled oysters a step better, the octopus taco quite good, and the live queen clams the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the margarita was mediocre. Service was on the slower side, but the staff was friendly. If you’re a serious foodie, this might not be the place for you, but if you’re after a meal with a view, the location is hard to beat.

Took a break from beach margaritas for some really good seafood. We had the ceviche, blue shrimp and fish tacos. All tasted great. The beach side view was nice, the drinks went down smooth and the staff were very kind.

After watching a PBS special featuring this restaurant, we added it to our must-visit list for our next trip to Puerto Vallarta—and what a mistake that turned out to be. The restaurant itself is nicely designed, and the waitstaff were friendly, though they seemed more focused on upselling than anything else. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill from there. The cocktails were watered down and lacked creativity, setting the tone for the rest of the evening. To make matters worse, obnoxiously loud dance music from next door started up, drowning out any hope of conversation at our table. Still, we stayed, hoping the food would redeem the experience. Sadly, the food was a major letdown. The whole fish arrived smothered in an overwhelming BBQ sauce that ruined the dish, and the tuna steak was similarly drenched in sauce, completely masking its flavor. As the music grew louder and louder, we couldn’t wait to leave. The only redeeming food was the mix of 6 raw oysters - which were fine. Adding insult to injury, the cost was outrageous for the quality. We spent nearly as much here as we did at one of the top-rated restaurants in town just two nights later, which only highlighted how overpriced and underwhelming this meal was. Save your money and go somewhere else—this place simply isn’t worth it.

I was having an oyster theme dinner, why not with the beautiful view! Oyster chowder, very thick… like I don’t even add the cracker on top of the soup…it was like porridge thick, it’s full of flav and little bit of oyster. Oyster taco! It’s yummy, fresh and thanks for the waiter recommendation I didn’t order too much!

Best oysters Rockefeller ever! The service was quick, and the staff was friendly. Recommend the above and also the tetela, which is shrimp, crab, and cheese in white wine on a mesa pocket. Also, try the volcan de dolce de lèche for dessert. So tasty…
