Vallarta Mexican Grill Mariscos Bar

Crema's Take
“I appreciate the request, but I should be transparent: this appears to be a Mexican restaurant and seafood bar rather than a specialty coffee shop. As a coffee discovery app, Crema typically focuses on cafes and roasters with distinctive coffee programs. If you're looking for a coffee shop summary in this area, I'd be happy to help with that instead, or if this restaurant has a noteworthy coffee program worth highlighting, I could write about that angle. What would be most helpful?”

The restaurant looked so nice and clean. I got the chicken nachos and they were watery. We also got seafood which was alright, not good enough for the price.
Went with a large group of friends. The service was excellent and we were looked after well by the server. The food was very delicious and the portions were huge! Great place to get together with friends and have a great meal at very reasonable prices, especially for the amount of food that they give you!
If you haven't tried this yet you definitely need to put this on your list. The food service and drinks were amazing. I was in the area traveling on business and stopped in, it was so good I ate there two nights in a row. Keep up the good work loved my experience and will be back when I am in the area.
The restaurant itself is nice and clean, and the servers are friendly and helpful—which I appreciate. Unfortunately, the food just doesn’t deliver. The “table-side” guacamole was way too salty for my taste—and despite the name, it wasn’t made at the table. The salad felt like an afterthought: generic ingredients, lukewarm dressing served in a plastic single-serve container, and what seemed like pre-sliced, packaged avocado. All in all, it was a disappointing food experience. Great service can only go so far when the meal itself falls flat.
I tried the fried (whole) Tilapia and asked to switch the rice with grilled veggies. It was very delicious and juicy. Food came out super fast. Very nice and patient server. Super reasonable prices! Had to review the check twice to make sure they didn’t miss anything.
