    I heard so much about this restaurant before you arrived in Puerto Vallarta. Wait there on a Saturday night. Obviously it was very crowded. It was OK, but we’ve eaten at better restaurants in Puerto Vallarta.. We were not impressed.

    We enjoyed an inside table at palapa with our 9,8, and 3 yr olds. They had a kids menu with fish sticks, pasta, and nuggets. We enjoyed the wine list, the coconut shrimp, and the lobster. I recommend it!

    My wife got terribly sick after eating the red snapper for dinner. Had to go to the hospital. Extremely expensive and nowhere near a good value. Not worth the money. The only thing great about it was there was on the beach. A service was excellent. I would never go back there again nor would I recommend anyone go there. There are plenty of other places that offer much better food at a more affordable price. Way too expensive.

    I did not know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised when we were seated. Location was very nice as the sun was setting. Drinks were very, very good and the food surpassed expectations. Eduardo, Don Delicioso, was great and we look forward to returning here. It is a unique place for food and for people watching (depending on your seat).

    The menu is not as extensive as it used to be so it was hard to find good entrées. The wine list, as in all of Puerto Vallarta, is very expensive. The cocktails were wonderful.

    As loved it . I went twice in 2 weeks on my vacation. I wanted my fiend and husband to experience with me so I went alone then told them about the experience and that we must all go together and we did . It was even better the second time . I had red fish and the second time I had a different fish but the red snapper was the best . I loved it .

    La Palapa is wonderful! We had a table on the beach to watch the sunset which was incredible. The drinks were excellent and the food delicious! In particular, the catch of the day was amazing. Dessert was also great, especially the lava cake. Terrific service. Will definitely return. Easy to see why this place has been around for 60 years!
