El Coleguita Mariscos Marina Vallarta
Seafood restaurant
👍 This is a popular local style seafood restaurant at one end of the marina. Usually gets busy for lunch and dinner. They give you simple, honest local food. The local lobster and shrimp plate is pretty good, just the portion is too big for a regular person. I go here for the large raw clams when they...

Pepes Taco
Taco restaurant
👍👍 Locals and tourists come to this place.
So good and affordable prices. The guac was unreal and so fresh, and I would def recommend the al pastor. All the food was great. Had a couple beers to wash it all down. Def a place to hit up if you want some authentic local food. Cash only.

Great a/c. In...

Make sure you start off with a larg...

El Coleguita Mariscos Nuevo Vallarta
Seafood restaurant
👍👍 This is an amazing spot for seafood. Incredible service with large portions. The pineapple sauce was mind blowing together with the coconut shrimp. Huge drinks, free shots and shrimp broth was the icing on the cake. Our server, Alonso was a class act hailing a taxi for us as well.
