The more laid back version of El Barracuda next door. Great cocktails and an awesome place to people watch and catch the sunset. Cash only.

Have been coming here for about 7 years, never have been disappointed. Food is delicious and fresh, service is friendly and quick, view is spectacular and the drinks are superb, to top it off they play great music. Does not get much better than this! You need to go here. Update: Keeps getting better. They have lobster dinner with shrimp and octopus. Super Extra Yummy.

Always a great time! The food is fresh and tasty and super nice to sit on the beach and watch the sunset with the House DJ playing. A favorite spot for the friend group

Fantastic staff and great food. If you're looking to spend a relaxing day at the beach on their lounges, this is the place.

Very cozy spot right on the beach, food is served from their neighbors, El Barracuda, seafood and steak options as well as vegetarian. The view of the bay at night makes for some amazing sunsets! And they're pet friendly!! If you're into live music they have local DJ's playing constantly, come at night to catch them.

Erien and Josua were amazing. We had a blast there. They were very attentive to anything we needed. They just kept bringing us ice when we asked with smiles on their face. Easy to get to. Parking was easy and we had a great beach day.

Possibly one of the best beach bars/restaurants in all of Puerto Vallarta. It has a great location. Beautiful sunsets. And fabulous food. It's a really good menu. I had the tuna poke bowl this time around.

Stopped here for drinks and guacamole on the beach. The guacamole was fantastic - margaritas were super strong. They have a small beach space so be prepared to wait for beach seats if that's what you're looking for!
