Stop looking for places around Riviera Nayarit. This is the spot to have fresh seafood and amazing service. There's a chance you may have to wait about 15-25 min to get a table but the wait is worth it. My whole family loved it. For a bunch of reasons Our waiter Guidian was on top of everything and he makes sure you get what you want however you want it and if you come back more than twice he'll learn what you like and how you like your food. Ask for this dude. he will treat you like a VIP Let valet parking take your car and don't worry about it, they do a great job Drinks; they welcome you with a shot of tequila and if you want more they won't say no, so go for it. Drinks are great and huge so take it easy cuz you'll get tipsy out of nowhere Food; the BEST food in Puerto Vallarta/nuevo Vallarta/Bucerías area Crown of the jewel: the coconut shrimp Or the camaron momia which is bacon wrapped shrimp. And I'm not talking about the pathetic little shrimp I get in Florida, I'm talking about huge shrimp. If you feeling adventurous try the agua Chile Verde but be careful cuz it can be very spicy. Overall this place it's a gem you need...

Great food and drinks. Piña Coladas, Margaritas and Cantaritos were great. Returned for second time due to great service from Andreas and Mario. Food is flavorful and large portions. I would recommend the bacon wrapped shrimp “premium mummy ” and the coconut shrimp. 4/30/24 Returned with family and friends. Tried to sit on 1st floor table for 6+ and were told it was reserved. Were sent to 2nd floor to a smaller table. Needles to say table on 1st fl was never used. Everyone in group arrived at 6pm. Ordered fish chicharrones as the starter, they never came out. Ordered piña coladas and no alcohol in them. Our food was ordered but, took forever to come out. Father in law ordered bacon wrapped shrimp and bacon came out as if it wasn’t cooked. I had ordered shrimp and fish combo and all they brought me was rice and spicy shrimp. Several other people in group had ordered water bottles and they were not brought out. Waiter was questioned about water bottles that were ordered and he said they ran out. Also questioned about food that was wrong and he said they were out of several items. Don’t know if I would ever return...
