The 18 Best Restaurants & Bars In Puerto Vallarta

"Delicious seafood, great margaritas, and a front-row view of the beach: The Blue Shrimp checks a lot of boxes for a casual group dinner. Get a frozen mango margarita when you sit down, enjoy the incredible people-watching, and order as many dishes as you can share. Go with the bacon-wrapped shrimp stuffed with cheese, some tableside guacamole, and the shrimp boat, which includes ceviche, calamari, garlic bread, tequila, coconut, and diabla shrimp. Basically, it’s all the seafood you could ever want, and it comes in a literal miniature boat. " - debora mestre

The location is fantastic, beautiful beach views. The food was disappointing. We ordered the jumbo coconut shrimp. They were dry and HEAVILY breaded. The fish taco were also dry and lacked flavour. Very little fish, lots of shredded cabbage. The shrimp queso fondito was mediocre. Service was fantastic, very friendly staff. It's really unfortunate that the food was bad when they're in such a beautiful location. I would recommend this place for drinks and go elsewhere for food.

Dinner on the beach—does it get any better? My mom and I went to celebrate my birthday, and everything was incredible. The service was top-notch, and the guacamole was made fresh right in front of us—packed with flavor! The fried calamari and Peruvian ceviche were chef’s kiss. We both ordered sea bass—mine was the fresh fillet adobado style, and it was amazing. My mom had the fresh fillet a lo macho style and loved it just as much. I highly recommend checking this place out!

Great salesmanship, fun server with a great energetic personality. He truly made the experience extra special. Some parts of the dining experience were strange like the bagged purchased tortilla chips and crackers served with the table side guac. Sea food was fresh and perfectly cooked. The blue shrimp was to die for, incredible. Cocktails could use some work to be elevated but overall a really enjoyable experience.

The Blue Shrimp is one of our favorite go-to spots in Puerto Vallarta. During our last trip, we dined here three times, and each visit was a fantastic experience. The food, drinks, views, and service are all top-notch! From the tableside Caesar salad and guacamole to the giant blue shrimp with newspaper sauce and the enormous lobster tail, every dish was delicious. Ulysses, Diego, and Jennifer took excellent care of us throughout our visits. We can’t wait to come back again next year!

I've seen this place on our daily walks and wanted to try it since last year. ATMOSPHERE: Located beach side on the Malecon, it's open air with lanai and indoor seating. There was a salad bar available but didn't see it offered on the menu. The place was fairly empty as we dined an hour before closing. MENU: Soups, shrimp, fish, lobster, steak, Mexican fare. FOOD: New England Clam Chowder Horrible! It's as if they threw clams into a blender with condensed cream of mushroom soup. Yup, that bad. Caesar Salad Nothing to write home about, and over-priced for the portion size. Guacamole One of the evenings highlights. It's made fresh at your table so a home-cooking lesson was learned lol. The guac was good but the chips were stale, either from sitting out but hopefully not because of recycling between guests. We let our server know and she was more than happy to bring fresh ones. Packaged tortillas also accompanied. Jumbo Shrimp Oh, my gout sure loved this one! I opted for the smaller of the two for health's sake, done in garlic shrimp style which is garlic & butter. The 5 shrimp were prepared perfectly and came with steamed rice and veggies. Very nice. Grilled Filet Mignon with Shrimp My spouse's choice. It was just an okay dish. The steak came out rare instead of medium rare, and included 3 jumbo shrimp, steamed veggies and a baked potato. Kahlua & Milk Compliments of the house, in which we both took a sip of but no more. What a waste of booze. They should ask before serving IMO. SERVICE: Hostess service was average. Male server was professional, friendly, and attentive. OVERALL: Pricey compared to other restaurants but you are beach front. After several experiences this year and last with restaurants on the beach, I'd recommend seeking the less crowded joints in town. Here, you get the view, but the cuisine is what matters for us.

I’ve passed by this place many times but never stopped in until now. It enjoys a prime beachfront location with great views and a charming, tourist-friendly Mexican design that works well in this setting. The service is efficient, and the staff is welcoming and friendly. As for the food, it’s decent but not particularly memorable. The taco de jaiba was quite good, while the seafood pasta was just average. I’m sure there are some standout dishes on the menu, but overall, if you’re coming for the view, you’ll be pleased. If food is your top priority, you might want to explore other options.

We went on a Monday afternoon and it wasn’t packed at all. We felt very attended for and the atmosphere was amazing. Right on the beach. We ordered the guacamole and they made it in front of us. We also ordered drinks and they were strong but so flavorful. The highlight of our meal was the huachinango, which we shared with two people. It was a beautiful fried and salty dish and they offered sauces to go along with it. The sides were veggies and rice. Everything was delicious and we had a great time. Only con was that it was slightly expensive, we have no regrets tho.

I love this place! I arrived in the morning by Uber. The matrodie spoke pretty good English. This restaurant is beach front, so I asked if I could rent a spot on the beach with a lounge,umbrella, and table. They told me it was free. I started with breakfast in the restaurant. Lots of handsome young men to serve me. I opted for an omelet with cheese and mushrooms. OMG 😲 It was terrific. Perfectly seasoned. On top of that, they just threw in fried potato wedges with peppers,onion, etc, and a bowl of some sort of delicious bean dip again, very flavorful. They provided freshly made Chipotle. Great on everything. After breakfast, I moved down to Los Muertos Beach. I spent hours relaxing, swimming, coming for pretty shells and stones. Mid day you get bombarded by Street Vendor's. I bought a couple thing's but enough is enough. I got changed in the ladies' room and sat at the full service bar. They play Oldies Music. The ombiance is playful and there were plenty of handsome young men attending me. Jesus, my bartender 21 years old makes a fantastic Mohito. I had enjoyable conversations with him until he was finished with work. I had shrimp tacos for lunch. The soft shells were blue corn and filled with blue shrimp. Again, everything was seasoned beautifully and presented in a way that I will long remember.

This place located along the main strip on the sand where everyone walks by. A tourist trap area if you're looking for a restaurant. We stopped in for dinner on a Saturday night. Didn't need reservations which was ok. I believe they also have seating in the sand but we had a table inside upstairs. Seemed like everyone was sitting along the window area and the other part looked empty. As if they didn't even utilized it. But it was nice with the open air feel. You couldn't see much as it was dark outside. Started off with one of their local beers and some starters. The poke and oyster Rockefeller. Both were really good. Poke, nice chunk of tuna served with all the trimming and ginger. Came with both a basket of chips and crackers. The oyster, were 8 piece and well packed with the trimming. Came out still hot which was nice. Also they brought out two piece of cheese toast, not sure if it came with starters or just to bring for the table. Menu for dinner was quite nice. They have a big selection of seafood dish. Before ordering, waiter came out with a treasure trunk inside filled with fresh seafood. Red snapper, lobster tail and king shrimp. All fresh and was one of their specials if you were wanting that. A bit pricey. We opted out from them and ordered from the menu. The seafood pasta and a seafood coquilles St Jacques. Pasta, was just ok. It was good but wouldn't rave about it. The seafood coquilles on the other hand were excellent. It's like a seafood bake with shrimp and massive pieces of scallops baked in a calm shell. The flavor was great and served with a mushroom au gratin and veggies. Pieces of seafood were perfect and pretty filling. Didn't have any room for dessert with all the filling food. Service was good, the view would be beautiful if it was light out. During the day time, people do utilize the beach tables for lunch. It is pricer than if you were to go into town as it's along the beach. But we did enjoy our meal and time.

When you are at a stunning beach town like Puerto Vallarta, you must seek and eat at ocean front locations. The Blue Shrimp, is one of these beautifully situated restaurants, smack on the beach. The view is invigorating and the menu was dynamic. I chose the whole fish, Zerandeado style (a Nayarit grilling recipe that goes back centuries). The fresh split fish came out on a huge plate, with lovely color that blended grill and spice. And the aroma was levitating. The dish also came with tortillas, bread, steamed veggies and rice. I was so overwhelmed with the large fish portion that I immediately told my server two things. For one, there was no way I could finish all of it. Second, he needs to pack a filet, some tortillas in a carry out so I could hand it to a beach vendor who sold me a souvenir, just by my seat, overhanging the beach sand. The fish preparation was nothing short of spectacular. While the meat was thinly spread out, it hugged the bone, sucking up natural flavor, which together with the marinated and grilling spices took me to another place. I asked for some type of salsa to enhance the tortilla and fish bite. They brought me this big bowl of Pico De Gallo. Fresh it was, but instead of it being complimentary, they tagged it on to my bill. I requested that they needed to take it off. They sincerely apologized and did just that. This, in my view, is one of the hallmarks of excellent customer service. Merge it with the ambiance of the restaurant, the heart stopping beach views, the fantastic customer service and the memorable food and you have an undisputed winner. Muchas Gracias.

Wow! This has all the check marks for lunch and dinner. Scenery is great! Active beach with parasailing and lots of people watching. Plus the view of the water next to the mountains.. wow! Let's start with getting in the door, walking to reservations are welcome. The look is a perfect beach chic. No bad view! Appetizers are excellent! Guacamole or the grilled shrimp is top tier. Caesar salad is awesome! Great burger or a great shrimp burger. The fajitas were on point with the flavor and fresh tortilla. Now! The drinks are awesome! Very fresh and delicious

A great place for a beachfront dinner. We had the friendliest, most attentive waitstaff. You can't go wrong starting with the shrimp stuffed avocado. The jumbo shrimp are truly jumbo, we tried the coconut shrimp and the portuguesa, the drinks are also good.

Coming in from airport to resort saw signs Blue Shrimp restaurants. They have many locations in Mexico. We when to town in Puerto Vallarta in area called Malecon. It is a place where there is shopping and lot's of restaurants to choose from. We saw Blue Shrimp restaurant, it location have beach outdoor seating, and restaurant seating. They have a lunch and dinner menus. We ordered from lunch menu, Molcajete Mixto it comes in a stone bowl with chicken, steak, cactus, cheese with sauce that accompany the dish, and large grill shrimp seasoned very well. Next dish fried fish and French fries, fish was cooked perfect and nice crispy fries. Our waiter Polo, was very service friendly.

Nice little Americanized seafood menu. My parents have been coming here for years and it is where my father has identified "his" go to pasta spot. The servers are amazing - willing to get your dish just the way you want it. Dad and I went way off menu and combined the Diablo shrimp with the linguini and the creamy white sauce. While not my perfect combination, it was still pretty darn good! I'd definitely sit on the patio if you come for dinner as the interior space gets very dark.

I'm so incredibly disappointed by what I experienced today. For the first time ever, I ventured off of my resort to go into town with friends and explore. They wanted to come to this restaurant due to positive reviews. I'm a very anxious traveler already due to my food allergies but I wanted to go out of my comfort zone. We sat down and the ambiance is great. Nice servers, very fun and friendly, all good. Great guac, nice drinks, etc. Chips were straight out of a bag (like literally gave us different types of chips in their original packaging) rather than made in house which I felt was odd, but okay. I told the waiter when I ordered that I am allergic to nueces y cacahuates (peanuts and tree nuts). He heard and understood me and told I was completely fine with what I ordered. Thank god I learned the night prior that mole sauce had nuts because when my food came it had mole sauce on it. I said what is this sauce? He said mole and I asked him if he was sure I could eat it. He goes and comes back and says "I'm sorry you can't eat that, I know I was supposed to take care of you, I'm sorry." He brought me back new food with no sauce but I was so anxious I was so hesitant to even eat. And the best part of it all, was that we were still charged full price for everything! so please be aware of everything you eat if you have an allergy and be extra vigilant!

Visited on the evening of 9/30/2024 (Monday). Giving 3 stars, but really 2 may be best Guacamole made tableside was good but definitely a small portion. Chips that were given with the guacamole were in a bag and stale. 2nd set of chips, same - from a bag and stale. Who doesn't serve fresh chips at a Mexican restaurant? Shrimp fajitas - taste was decent Sea bass - fish was good, sides were mediocre at best Throughout the entire dinner we were interrupted by people selling things. One kid came up to our table and got angry that we said no. The restaurant really should put a stop to the random people approaching customers. Save your money and go down to another restaurant *edited to add (after the business response) - how does a restaurant not have control over vendors on the INSIDE of their restaurant selling items?! Again, save your money and sanity and go elsewhere

OK, you're going into a tourist trap for gringos. But then again, you ARE a gringo and a tourist!! Just know what you're in for and set your expectations to match. The ambiance is fun, service is good, and waterfront views are amazing. Grilled red snapper was pricey but terrific.

First thing first--Polo as well as all of the staff were AMAZING. Really made us feel very welcome and made it an overall positive experience. However, I don't see myself returning. While the food was decent--some of it standout such as the Tuna Tartare and the shrimp al pastor tacos--it was not worth the price. The portions were very small and their drink prices were very high compared to surrounding places. The perk of this place is that it is beachside, which was very nice, but overall, it was a touristy experience that I enjoyed--but only want to experience it once.

I'm not sure I'd recommend this place to a friend coming to visit, but it did have a nice view. We were greeted by very friendly staff and our waiter was so kind and helpful. I got garlic shrimp and the sauce was AMAZING! I loved the sauce. It came with steamed vegetables which had been overcooked. It was pretty pricey overall and definitely not as good quality as other places that were 1/3 the price. If you come here, you're really coming for a quiet and beautiful beach spot but can find better food elsewhere. Great sunset view, but I probably wouldn't come back.

Good view of the ocean Food was not good ordered crab tacos they were tiny I ordered shrimp. They came with a tray of huge shrimp they talked me in to getting them it was a disapointment. They were soggy they took them back trying to make it better but they were the same and they didn't look as big as the ones on the tray.

Food and service were outstanding. Highly recommend this place for seafood. For authentic food, doesn't get any better here.

Paid the same price as the Capella, yet the food was 3/5 (I had a dish Zarateado, my gf had the lobster enchiladas). Lobster was way overcooked while the tortilla was stiff. Service was 3.5 (my server and busser were really young with minimal experience) but they did check-in (like 7 times; too many). Vibe was lacking. They added lime in my beer (idk why), while handing me a dirty mug that had chili flakes. Not something I would expect from a place with a high price tag. Save yourself time, money, experience, and quality by going to the capella (for similar prices), or Cuates Cuetes (for half the price, better experience, and more authentic food choice). I still tipped the young men, I didn't make a fuss about the whole experience as they're probably starting off. I just hope others consider better options than this joint.

Where to start. The place has a nice view where you can see the sunset I'll give you that but when it comes down to the service and food, I'm going to be honest don't waste your money here. For two of us we spent $65dlls. I ordered the fish tacos (3) and my husband orders a fish plate. I had a water and my husband had a soda. That's it! I had fish tacos at another restaurant for less than half of what we paid here and the flavor was A LOT BETTER. Our party was celebrating my friends and my bday and let the staff know. They brought out a slice of cake for both of us -and us thinking aww how nice of the restaurant NOPE we were wrong. The slice cost about $14dlls which they didn't even tell us we were being charged until the bill came. One of our friends didn't look at his bill and he ended up paying someone else's dinner plate, a water and two drinks. Which means the server didn't even ask if his bill was correct. I get it we should always check the bill prior to paying that wasn't the issue the issue was we had already let the server know what would be in which bill. If you can go elsewhere go. IMO too expensive for what it is.

Great little seaside spot in downtown PV! Bonus that they have an air conditioned space for the really hot days. Our server Polo was super friendly and made sure we did not run out of anything. The steak tacos were really good and the shrimp fajitas were hot and fresh. The seasoning on the shrimp wasn't my favorite as it had a mild bitter aftertaste but they were still pretty good. The table side guac was excellent but some house made chips would have been a difference maker versus the prepackaged chips that it came with. Price was reasonable and they take credit cards so that is also a plus.

this place was suggested to us by a local and i'm glad he did. amazing view from the outside patio and the fans really cooled us down for lunch. was able to taste the coconut shrimp outside of the restaurant and we were hooked. guac made at the table was fun to watch and it was yummy. i ordered the peruvian ceviche and it was yummy and a good size portion. service was outstanding.

In total we spent 141 USD for 1 appetizer 2 dishes and 1 desert. The calamari was a fried curd with a sliver of octopus. The salsa wasn't spicy but they didn't have much either. The bread was amazing but they only offered 3 and didn't refill even when asked. They had blue shrimp which was great and a redeeming factor. They also had amazing shrimp tacos but it didn't come with any sides. The service was slower here than the other restaurants we been to but at least the atmosphere was nice and near the beach.

We went back to the blue shrimp again for the second year. So far, this is my favorite restaurant in Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit, Mexico. I love the oversized blue shrimp, which we had in two different styles - Portuguese, which is thick high-quality bacon wrapped shrimp stuffed with Gouda cheese, and Butterflied, served with garlic Butter Breadcrumbs on top. Each blue shrimp is about a quarter of a pound. They come from Mazatlan. We also had a whole grilled red snapper with achiote seasoning. Dinners were accompanied by vegetables and rice, and beans, guacamole, and tortillas. Margaritas were delicious. I also really liked their Keylime pie, which was a square cut, frozen version and quite yummy. There are turtles in the water below you as you eat at the water's edge in a large booth. There is a large electric sign out in the water that says LOVE. It is a very beautiful building. Service could not have been better. I will look forward to my next return visit. I was super hungry so I forgot to take pictures. Next time!

Amazing location in the romantic zone. We ate right on the beach. Good service. The price was a little high but you are in the RZ and this place is right on the beach. Great tacos.

Food was not good at all. Oysters Rockefeller lacked flavor, crab tacos tasted extremely fishy, however the service was great, if only the food matched the service then I would give it a higher rating.

A group of us Went for lunch today and the flavor in the food was unfortunately lacking for us. My fish tacos tasted like it wasn't the freshest or crispy enough. Everyone said their dishes were just okay nothing special. The drink saved the day because the food and service wasn't the best. It was not cheap either so it was a letdown. When my friend ordered the lobster I imagined those big ones but was disappointed when we saw his plate. Wont be going back when I travel to PV again

I don't actually understand how this restaurant has anything over 4 stars. The food is horrible. The place was not clean. The only thing positive was that we had a decent server, but unfortunately that's not the only thing that makes a restaurant good.. We sat at a booth overlooking the beach towards the back of the restaurant and we were seated underneath a broken fan that was so obnoxious and so loud, you would have to be a complete idiot working there to think that was okay and not annoying and disrespectful to dining customers. The servers all heard it and were laughing. Even the manager came over and kind of laughed about it. I think that it became a joke to them. When we said something they just looked at us and walked away. At that point we were not going to order anything and just leave, when the table behind us complained as well about the fan that they finally shut it off. The only thing that our server was concerned about was making sure we left a good review online and handed us a business card asking if we could do it right then and there. This place is horrible and the food is over priced for what you get. I actually went back to our hotel and told them that they need to stop recommending this place and told the hotel manager about our experience. Don't waste your time as I'm sure there are plenty of other restaurants located on the beach that are nicer than this place.

Nice restaurant right on the beach and next to the plaza. It was very loud because they had a party next door. Lots of eating space and the food was solid. It didn't knock my socks off since there is a lot of great food in PVR. Staff was super nice. I can't complain.

Very expensive. After tip i paid $71 Canadian dollars for one cocktail and shrimp fajitas. The room is cool and there's lots of table service. Ceaser salad is made at your table. The fajitas are lit aflame at your table. The soup broth is poured into a bowl of seafood at your table. Alas, most of the food was bland. Shrimp fajitas were fine, but lacked flavour. My friends soup tasted mostly of salt. The one winner at the table was my friend who ordered steak. He loved it. Table service was fun, but the food is bland and expensive.

I have been a loyal fan of the Blue shrimp for over 15 years. Today was the most disappointing meal ever. The seafood soup was barely edible. The crab was mushy and tasted as if it was not fresh and the shrimp tasted as if it had been over boiled. The broth tasted off as well. We also got the, smaller shrimp boat. The coconut shrimp was over fried as it had been fried twice and the shrimp had no flavor. Overall, for the meal, it was so disappointing. To make matters worse the young lady server was very condescending and barely paid any attention to serving us.

Service was good. Drinks were good. You can come here for the views . View of the ocean is to die for.

Shrimp is over cooked. Request with the server to have the Cook ( no chef back in the kitchen) not over cook the shrimp. Maybe after a drink or two they may think , you won't care HOW the shrimp is cooked , but trust, tell them to only do a minute or 2 on each side. Otherwise the shrimp is so tough! Service is great. Awesome view , saw many whales

What started out just as a couple of drinks at the bar ended up being a wonderful experience. We wanted to sit closer to the beach to enjoy the weather and sunset and they found a table for us. Cristian and Gio were very attentive and had great recommendations for drink. If you want to have a couple of drinks or great food while enjoying a beautiful sunset, I would make sure to ask for Cristian and Gio and visit The Blue Shrimp - Puerto Vallarta. Lo que comenzó como solo un par de tragos en el bar terminó siendo una experiencia maravillosa. Queríamos sentarnos más cerca de la playa para disfrutar del clima y el atardecer, y nos encontraron una mesa. Cristian y Gio fueron muy atentos y nos dieron excelentes recomendaciones de bebidas. Si quieres tomar un par de tragos o comer algo delicioso mientras disfrutas de un hermoso atardecer, te recomendaría que pidas por Cristian y Gio y visites The Blue Shrimp - Puerto Vallarta.

We enjoyed dinner at Blue Shrimp during our recent trip, and as you may have guessed - we ordered the shrimp! Both my sister and I tried variations of the shrimp and I upgraded to the larger blue shrimp that are currently in season. These shrimp were HUGE - I think my entree included 4-5 of them and I could barely eat it at all. My husband got a mixed grill with fish, mussels, scallops, and shrimp and enjoyed that as well. The ambience is nice and right on the beach and we had a nice booth overlooking the water. It was a little loud, but not too bad. The specialty cockails we tried were absolutely delicious - although a tad expensive for the area.

Upscale restaurant in the romantic zone along the beach. This was our most expensive dinner in PV but worth the trip! Ramon Is Hot was my boyfriend's favorite cocktail from our entire trip. We both ordered the medium shrimp, one garlic and one tequila. The serving of shrimp is hearty and was delicious both ways. We also ordered some garlic bread on the side that was tasty. The staff was attentive but definitely tried to upsell to the "blue shrimp" which was much more costly. Overall would recommend, especially for sunset.

Really lovely restaurant by the seaside. You can catch views of the sun setting even if you're sitting inside. The guacamole is not to miss, they prepare it right at your table for you! Service is attentive, the waiters were always coming by to ask how I was doing and if I needed anything. Would come back if I visit PV again.

The food,location, ambiance and the service at The Blue Shrimp were outstanding!! The beach location and the decor were to die for.. The wait staff were extremely friendly and professional at the same time. The owner, Martin was gracious and attentive to all the patrons. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to any and everyone who visits Puerta Vallarta, it was truly an amazing dining experience.

The atmosphere is great and the food was even better. Entire meal was a flavor bomb from start to finish. Table side Caesar salad amazing!! Best I've ever had.

We were there on Friday night. We were seated in small area upstairs. It took at least 15 minutes to get a waiter to take our drink order. The waiter rushed to order our food; it was clear he was not very happy to be our waiter. The drinks took a long time. Eventually we got our food. The food was great. The second waiter that brought the food, Aaron, was very nice and apologized for the wait and the first waiter's attitude. However, not sure I would go back.

Pretty atmosphere. Miguel was a great waiter. Shrimp was good the clam chowder was different than in America.

The Coconut Shrimp here was great; deep Fried--compared to some lighter coconut shrimp I had at Qulture--but good. The service was absolutely amazing. We were checked on more than enough throughout the night, but not overly so. We asked if the water and ice were filtered, he said yes, and we didn't have any problems. They also made fresh guacamole at our table which was absolutely delicious. The cocktails we had had star anise in them and hibiscus, a wonderful and new combo I had not been exposed to. Highly, highly recommend!

Location is great very close to the walkway and beach. A good start. The servers were very friendly and attentive. My friend ordered steak and lobster. It was pricey. She said it was good not superb. We ordered some non-alcoholic drinks and one alcoholic drink - from then on was pretty bad slow. Guacamole it was pretty flat. It didn't have enough salt or lime. I ordered some lime. It never came. We ordered 250 g jumbo prawns - hair order in tequila and half garlic. The meal arrived with lukewarm rice, one piece of broccoli and carrot was overcooked. Just two medium to smallish garlic prawns and three small prawns in the bath of creamy yucky looking white sauce. The white sauce was not mentioned the menu. It was really disgusting looking. The prawns were not close to be large let alone jumbo How could 5 of these be equal to 250 grams. I called him on it and he readily took the meal back and didn't charge for it. Its shameful that they would try to serve that to someone because the price was nearly 600 pesos. I ordered the burgers. Beef and shrimp. They were very good. I looked it up when I got back home and it should be 10 to 15 jumbo prawns in a 250 g weigh The waiter didn't argue about taking the meal back that was good. But watch what you order and make sure you get what you paid for.

Service here was excellent. The view was amazing. We lucked out and sat at the very corner edge and had an amazing nightlife view of the tower. This place is right on the beach. You can see and hear the ocean waves. Sounds amazing. Food was good, and plenty of potion too. Their margarita was excellent and everything we ordered was delicious. Really great place for a romantic dinner for two or get together with friends and family. PS - I highly recommend their grilled octopus (pulpo). It was so good! Cheers!
