A collection of food shops as well as restaurants we like to frequent while in Puerto Vallarta. We're sure you'll agree and if you find something you like that isn't in this guide book, please let us know so we can add it for others to try as well as us.
Try their catch of the day, always impresses. The beef is second to none. The ambience is amazing as well as the staff.

This place is new to the restaurant scene and offers something completely different from another region of Mexico. The staff is excellent and knowledgeable, the food is great authentic Mexican dishes, spices can vary and be catered to your particular heat tolerance. It's not expensive and the drinks are amazing. TRY IT!!!!

I had dinner here over the US thanksgiving long weekend. I enjoyed the 3 course turkey dinner they offered as a special all weekend. No doubt I'll return to try some of their other fare on the menu because the turkey with mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, sauteed vegetable and cranberry sauce was truly amazingly . A definite must try on the list

I have had many great meals here, but most recently enjoyed a a breakfast that was one of the best I've ever had. At the waiters suggestion I tried the Huevos Motelenos, a mexican traditional breakfast that is lightly spiced, served with a freshly baked demi baguette and fresh preserves. I added a melon juice(freshly juiced per cup) as well as a coffee(also made fresh per cup. This stellar breakfast was only 253 p, a great deal.

If you enjoy a burger that is homemade, and cooked perfectly to your liking, this is without a doubt the best burger place in the city. The burgers are fresh, never frozen, flame broiled, and big and juicy. I have a burger and a beer for 153p. Can't beat it.

Great Thai food but be aware that the spice chart is off the charts so to speak. I dined there recently and had a Thai standard, Phad Thai and asked for it mild( the equivalent of one Flame on the spice level chart). It definitely wasn't mild, so in future I will ask for all of my dishes to be cooked without spice, which is an option. You know when your lips are tingling and your forehead is beaded with sweat after just the first bite that what you're eating is nothing you would consider mild.

This place is fairly new to the scene but has everything you could want. Great food, amazing presentation, top notch service (if you can, ask for Cesar. He's the best), location is right on the beach and the prices are so reasonable. A definite 10 on my scale.

This is by far my most favourite restaurant in Zona Romantica. Michael the owner is the most hands on, accommodating host I have ever met. If he can't do it, no one can. The menu is vast, and filled with so many amazing appetizers and entrees, you will return time and again so you can have that dinner that you didn't choose the last time. Be sure to reserve in advance especially on weekends because it so popular you may not get a table. And when you do, tell him Timothy from Casa Azul sent you.

Handy Notes For Everyone, From Everyone

The condo is located directly above the Hotel Tropicana and you can access the beach two ways. One is to walk up to the next Casa on the highway and take the stairs which end at Emiliano Zapato. Then one block to the beach at the Sapphire Club. Alternatively, you can turn left as you exit the property and walk down the sidewalk to the next street (calle Pulpito) and you're less then two blocks from the beach. Internet> The internet in Mexico has presented challenges for travellers in the past but it has improved 200% since I've been at Casa Azul. We have a great carrier called Izzie and our internet speed is the best in the city. With a couple of test done recently(See photos)

It's a beautiful alternative to the beach scene and a wonderful retreat to nature in México. Hummingbirds, butterflies and the largest collection of orchids in the world
