Margarita Grill
Mexican restaurant
👍👍 Okay so this was the first place recommended to try on my trip to Puerto Vallarta. I feel like I should give the person who recommended this place a brand new car because it was absolutely amazing! I think my server's name was Daniel and he did an outstanding job. Make sure you start off with a larg...

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...

Cervecería Chapultepec Puerto Vallarta

👍 We shared some beers and small plates (burgers and tacos) here one day for lunch while staying at City Express Plus Hotel. Service was fast and friendly and all of the food came out hot and delicious. Their sauce selection is great, too. The prices are very reasonable. I’d recommend a stop in when y...

Paco’s Ranch
Bar
👍 Good local hang out spot. There's a drag show and then the dance floor opens up. The service is relaxing and relatively prompt. I really liked it there especially after hours when everything else is closing down. There is a 50 MXN cover earlier in the evening but you get a band to return anytime...

Atlas Country Club
Golf course
👍 It's a bit outside the city but very nice facilities. It's difficult and expensive to play gold in GDL if you're not a member. Ask about temporary membership options if in town for a while.

Los Muertos Brewing
Brewpub
😠 I came looking for a Mexican Brewery but what I got was an American style eatery. It was like eating at BJs in America and I’m not a fan.
We ordered a flight which was decent and nice selection. We ordered some guacamole which must have been straight out of a bucket from a store. There was nothing...
