RESTAURANTS
It is considered poor manners to present the check to you before you ask for it, so when you are ready to leave, say “La cuenta, por favor“, and it will be delivered to you. 15% is the usual tip if you received good service
Long lines does not necessarily mean it’s a great restaurant, only that they have become popular with tourists.

There are many nightclubs and excellent restaurants in Puerto Vallarta. If you ask 10 different people which is their favorite place to eat you will probably get 10 different answers.
One of our favorite places is the palapas on the Mismaloya beach, eating an avocado filled with shrimp and drinking a cold beer (or coco loco) while digging our toes into the sand.
The Mismaloya Grill is the on-site restaurant at Mismaloya condos. They will also serve you poolside or deliver to your condo. They close for the summer on April 30 and open for high season on the first Monday of December.
Tony’s in Mismaloya. Look for a two story thatched roof building on the left as you walk up the main street.
La Dulce Vita. Italian. Good service, home made pasta and pizza.
Paseo Diaz Ordaz 674 (North end of the Malecon

over-sized margueritas and the guacamole made right at your table.

Casa Fantasia is an old B&B. The newly opened restaurant is in the courtyard surrounded by old brick wall and trailing flowers. Mexican and international cuisine, good service and reasonable prices.
