Restaurant Bar Las Gaviotas — Restaurant in Jalisco

Las Gaviotos is not, in our experience, what many of the reviews say. We love it there! Maybe they’ve read the reviews and taken action. We’ve eaten there twice now. One time sitting at a table and one time sitting in the lounge chairs. They were nothing but helpful, many of the waitstaff asking if we need anything and if all was good. Drinks? Food? Umbrella or no umbrella? Our server Erick was darling, helpful and gave us prompt, good service. Very attentive. We each ordered different food each day. The Mexican Food dish, coconut shrimp, shrimp avocado salad, and guacamole, and a few drinks (both alcoholic and non alcoholic). The food was just right and delicious! When they brought the bill both times they went over our bill exactly as our ordered and asked if that was okay to pay. They didn’t ask for any amount of tip and their billing was completely accurate. We will most definitely go back here again before the end of our trip!! Thanks for the great food and service...

I wish I could give 0 stars for this place. I came alone and was treated horribly. There was a group of 3 couples next to me and they were taken care of as if they were gold. My order was extremely slow, and when I ordered food it never came. It became really obvious that if they didn't see a potential for mounds of cash that you were ignored. Two waiters also told me different prices for an item when I said I was leaving because I was ignored. I cancelled my food order as it was obvious it would never come. The waiter lied and said they were very busy which was not true. There were maybe 5 or six tables that had customers. This restaurant is the reason that people get turned off by an area. I also felt unsafe as when I said I was cancelling my order a waiter came quite close to me to tell me what I did owe. As a single woman this is definitely not the place to go. I have travelled extensively and I am a travel journalist....

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT TO GET SICK. Me and my family stopped by to eat here on a day trip to mismaloya beach. At first sight, this wouldn’t even classify as a restaurant. Wild dogs and cats everywhere while you eat your food. The kitchen doesn’t even look like a kitchen, just a dirty area with no sense of cleanliness. We all ordered regular dishes, tacos and nachos… The next morning I got severe food poisoning that sent me to the hospital and the rest of my family had really bad symptoms but didn’t need to go to the hospital. This sickness wasted about 4-5 whole days of our vacation as it took some time for us to recover. Super upsetting. Looking back at the restaurant now, it was quite sketchy and I guess we were just oblivious....
