Restaurants near El Tuido

Outstanding food and service experience. Al Fresco dining was divine, two musicians created a delightful background music effect, while random fireworks could be seen over Banderas Bay (as close as the Malecón and as far away as the Marina near Shangri-La). The combination of tasty tapas (good sized portions), professional and attentive service (gracias Jesus - our server), and expansive rooftop views (top two floors, 4th and 5th, access via elevator) created an extremely favourable impression reminiscent of two other dining favourites, namely La Capella and Hacienda San Angel. Bravo Barcelona Tapas on your continued success.

This was our first time to The Iguana, and it was absolutely incredible from the time we walked into the door to our lovely hostess, the view, the atmosphere, and our amazing server, Aldo. With Aldo’s incredible suggestions we enjoyed the squash blossoms, the pumpkin soup (mind blowing), the local fish and the Angus fillet. Thank you for giving us an amazing evening and looking forward to seeing you guys next year.

Absolutely perfect! Unbelievable service! Great food! I highly recommend upgrading to the garden experience. You can either order the fixed price menu, or à la cart. But you just have to guarantee you will spend a certain amount per person. The Garden experience was well worth it, especially if you think you’re already going to spend a decent amount of money on food and drinks. Nobody does birthdays better than Cafe des Artistes! Super wonderful experience in Puerto Vallarta!

La Palapa is hands-down our favorite dining spot in Puerto Vallarta. It’s the perfect place to catch a sunset, with stunning ocean views and an ambiance that strikes just the right balance between relaxed and elegant. The service here is consistently good—friendly, attentive, and warm without being overbearing. It’s clear the staff takes pride in creating a welcoming experience. The food is fun and approachable, offering a mix of flavors that never feels pretentious. Whether it’s a fresh seafood dish or a creative cocktail, everything is thoughtfully prepared and delicious. We make it a point to dine at La Palapa both at the beginning and end of every trip, and it never disappoints. It’s more than a meal; it’s part of the Puerto Vallarta experience.
