We live in California, now celebrating our 18 years of marriage in Mexico. Everything is so colorful, the streets, its people, the drinks, the restaurants. First week we were in Puerto Vallarta. Walking through the center we found this colorful place. You enter by going up a staircase that is at street level and is on the first floor. We liked it immediately and sat at a table on the terrace, there are also tables inside and on a very spacious patio. The staff is very helpful and friendly, since I know what they offer as a Mexican in California and this menu has dishes that I don't know, they helped me choose what to eat, it helps a lot that I speak Spanish. We ordered the classic guacamole and it arrived quickly. Then fajitas of three meats: beef chicken and shrimp to share. A huge plate arrived and Sergio - the waiter - put it on a tray table, added tequila and set it on fire. Quite a show. Also yummy. We spoke with another of the waiters: Muriel, a very nice Indian who gave us a lot of information since it was our first day in the city. I highly recommend it.

Service was great and they had live music. The decor is as cute as you get. It’s right next to the famous Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe. They were kind enough to allow me to sit at the reserved area which is very cute and you can see the ocean from
The balcony. The food was ok and not the very best but it makes up for it for the cuteness and the Mexican experience.

The Caesar salad is worth the experience and it tasted amazing. I wish I had gotten our waiters name, but he make racilla and let us sample to flavors. We shared the Tequila Shrimp. Would highly recommend trying this place out. Excuse the up close Tequila Shrimp picture. Fat kids at heart didn’t take a before picture.

Food is delicious, atmosphere geared towards tourists. The only I really didn't like was the sala. Very flavorful but not enough heat from the peppers. Just a wonderful evening.

Not very friendly waiter and disappointing foods. I ordered deviled shrimp but it just tasted like shrimp cooked in ketchup and hot sauce. When I asked the waiter, he acknowledged that the "secret recipe" has ketchup in it. Ketchup is something I don't expect as a secret ingredient at a traditional Mexican restaurant.

Wow. My chili relleno meal had tremendous flavor and the view was lovely. Live music enhanced the beautiful ambience even more. One of my top 3 meals so far in PV!

The cooking class at Gaby's with Chef Julio Cesar is one of the best experiences we've had in Puerto Vallarta. You start the day with a walk to a local market to shop for the freshest ingredients and you end the day at a family style table eating a lunch/dinner worthy of a king. Everything in between is pure fun and education mixed with a margarita ot two. My husband and I took the class together and we learned so many great cooking tips and tricks. It was amazing how Chef Cesar was able to turn 10-20 simple ingredients into a wide variety of unique dishes. We will carry his pearls of cooking wisdom with us. Thank you for a great experience!
