Tuna Azul

Reviewed By George D

Certainly recommend that you visit this authentic and delicious restaurant while in PV. The service is quick yet thorough. The food very very good. All prepared with local seafood. I had three different tortas. My favorite had ahi Tuna with toasted sesame seeds, spectacular. You will only find this there. The owner/manager visits each table to ensure you are happy and satisfied. We will certainly be back there. We were brought there by friends who live there and love it also.

Azul Bistro

Reviewed By MauiWorldTravelers

If you’re looking for a good breakfast in a low vibe setting, you’ll like Azul. Being located away from the beach and major streets, it’s void of crowds which is why we returned. FOOD:Fruit Plate Seasonal - $3.25 USDThe spouse’s dish. In addition to the fruits, the bowl was also topped with yogurt and granola. The spoonful I had was fresh & delicious. Generous portion for the price. Vegetarian Omelet - $5.00 USDDon’t judge me as I added bacon (and not charged for it) to the mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach and asparagus-filled omelet. Gotta have a salty meat with my eggs! Fluffy and folded, it also came with a few sticks of crispy seasoned salt steak fries and fresh melon. SERVICE:Down home and friendly! Love the ladies here who always take excellent care of us. OVERALL:2020 can’t come soon enough!

Martini en Fuego Grill Bar

Reviewed By Paulina A

We read the reviews and took them with a grain of salt. We made reservations to go and see for ourselves with a group of friends and we were blown away. The service is exceptional. The owner is the chef and believe me when I say we had the best clams clans and muscles we have ever had!!! We also live in San Francisco were great food is all around. The lobster and fish were great too. I would highly recommend. If you want to experience great food worth every peso go to Martini en Fuego. Be aware though that it is a cash only place. We did have to make a quick run to the ATM.

Meno's Place

Reviewed By RetiredLindyLou

The cab driver had never heard of Meno’s but we had the address and it was easy to find. The food was amazing and the view superb. Fernando was a gracious host and the wait staff very attentive. The live entertainment had just begun and he was very soothing adding to the fabulous ambience. We had the special - Ribs & Shrimp Combo. It was wonderful & easily could have fed 3 - we have lots for lunch. Would not have ordered the Clam Chowder but it came with the Combo and was delicious. Truly a New Hidden Gem Restaurant in PV!!!!

We stopped in for dinner while in Puerto Vallarta for a conference. The food was good (other than the brownie signature dessert with the caramelized popcorn ice cream!). The wait staff was very attentive and fast. Overall the atmosphere was a bit kitschy with the feeling of the white spray over everything.

Reviewed By nirvanaserra

Loved this place that I found while walking the Romantic Zone in Vallarta:- Amazing service: smiles, honest offering and prompt delivery. - Everything is made inside that little place. - Empanadas are really delicious. As well as the sauces, the “alfajores” and “frolitas”. - Prices are absolutely reasonable. - Small and cozy place. - They serve “café de Olla” (homemade pot coffee). Only one thing to work on:- The toilet. Me, personally, I am very picky about the bathrooms everywhere and many of you will agree that it is something that certainly speaks a lot about a place. Even if it’s small, it has to be clean and clear for the guests. Thank you very much for your opinion, we appreciate your appreciation. We will consider your comment. While we always keep very clean that day we failed the staff and we delayed some tasks, I hope you can apologize. From already thank you very much.

After hearing great things about this place we called and made a reservation for drinks before sunset and then dinner.... walked in at 7:30 and found an empty restaurant and bar, lots of staff but NO guests..... after conferring we questioned how fresh and good their ingredients could be with guests and decided to return another on another visit to PV. I realize that it is low season but this was eerily empty.....?I wish I could have Written A Note, rather than given a rating
