Americana Sports Bar & Grill
Sports bar
🫤 The score of 4.9 is crazy. Probably done by paid reviewers.
It is a rustic bar with 4 TV screens trying to show 4 different games at the same time. Commentaries overlap. No reception. No English speaking waiters. It is run by the same management as the Burrito Truck parked. alongside. Ambience is z...

Sonora Prime - Puerto Vallarta
Mexican restaurant
👍👍 Excellent service and food for this night out. Looked like a great place for a special occasion (I was dining alone). The staff is very attentive, and the food is great. I got the Crackling Octopus as an appetizer (which was fine - nothing too exceptional), but my main entree of Baked Ribs was am...

Cocktail bar
👍👍 If you’re looking for high end cocktails in a cool environment, this is the place. The cocktails are very creative and complex and every one we tried was delicious. The atmosphere felt like a speakeasy in the jungle. The staff was great and service was quick. Prices were expensive but fair for the q...

Rakata Puerto Vallarta
Night club
🫤 Security everywhere and somehow my phone got stolen right before they closed up shop. Hmm, I wonder if the security was who stole it? Management pretended they would help but never sent the video footage they promised, probably because their own staff was involved.
Edit: classy response from the ow...

Oh! Croissant Pastelería

👍👍 You haven’t lived if you’ve never bought a bunch of pastries from Oh Croissant & then walked 8 minutes to the beach & eaten them there, slightly melty with a worldclass view. Do it today.

They use European style butter & European style baking, which are both hard to find in Mexico. T...

1000 Caguamas Puerto Vallarta

👍👍 We didn't eat there but stopped in to grab a drink while we were out exploring the city. The staff was great and it's a cool spot on the second floor. The entry is small and would be easy to miss. Located on the roof there is a nice breeze which made it comfortableto hang out and have a drink. They...

Tapanko Vallarta
Bar
😠 Please anyone that plans on going to this place, don't. They steal from you, and their bottles don't have the verification stamp and the waitering staff is aggressive and security is worse, there are far better places. I don't recommend this place for nothing.
