Service is fantastic and the food is simply wonderful! Try the Tortilla Soup and the Pork Tenderloin . Finish your meal with the Frozen Lemon Pie .
Great food, excellent service and amazing location! Was worried after reading some of the reviews as I took special guests from Australia and I wanted them to get a good experience. It was great!
Get the house passion margarita and substitute tequila with mezcal . Also ask for chili instead of salt. Amazing!
La Palapa is a MUST if you're in Puerto Vallarta. The ambience, the staff , the beach , the food ... The MARGARITAS!!! Simply delicious!!

The seared tuna dish is spectacular. Very fresh and delicious sauce.
The best things about this place are the setting and view . Portions are small, not for sharing. Drinks are good, specially the margaritas .
Best guacamole I have had in my life! Key limes are used instead of limes . Amazing!!
Great views at sunset in the beach . Live music if local talent nightly. Very good.
A great Romantic option is to order a table for 2 at the beach , remover your sandals and enjoy a Bottle of Wine and the great view of Vallarta Bay .
fantastic food & staff and a perfect escape from sudden rain storms!
Would you believe these are pancakes . Very inviting. Try them
The huachinango (snapper ) has been a house-favourite for over fifty years... Well worth a try ;)
Excellent food, music and location! Definitely coming back!
Beautiful views and great design with a more western menu for visitors.
I enjoy the lunch menu more than the dinner menu . So good and much more laid back . Try the seafood enchiladas !
