Fresh, delicious! Great restaurant on the beach, beautiful views with on sand or under roof seating. The Tortilla soup was the best I've ever had. Shrimp and crab enchiladas were amazing. Coconut shrimp, lobster, fish tacos...all delicious and the drinks are very good.

We had some time to kill after we checked out of our hotel but before we went to the airport so we were recommended La Palapa beach club as a place to go. It was so great! We got 2 comfy beach chairs and an umbrella for $500 pesos a person for the day (just the adults, our little girls were free) that we were able to spend on food and drinks. The food was EXCELLENT, much better than we had at the resort we had stayed at and the guys working there were very attentive. It was a great spot right on the beach and perfect for us to relax in our last hours in Mexico. We will definitely be coming back. Only negative was the vendors on the beach were pretty in your face but we still had a great time.

Great place for brunch right on the beach right next to the pier. Really good selection of fresh drinks and food. The vendors are a little bothersome but definitely not overwhelming. We didn't need reservations, but visited on a Monday morning in May so that might have helped.

My 2 sons (24 and 26) and I went for a lunch and a final night dinner at this facility.

The good: Excellent service and very friendly waiters. I am not sure why all servers are male, but all provided very good service.
Our drinks were very good but my only complaint was the margaritas are very small, you do order a lot of them. The people watching is great, especially at lunch time. We found lunch was much better then dinner menu.

Improvement: The flies are not only annoying but they are disease vectors. If you are using a company, fire them immediately. We asked for additional fans just to keep them off our table but a better approach to this matter is important to your patrons health. The street vendors are cool but being accosted while eating literally ever 5 minutes to buy items is really annoying. I know its an issue on the board walk but this really annoys your patrons.

I think if they pest issues were handled better I would have given this a 5 star rating

La Palapa is a very cute restaurant right on the beach in Puerto Vallarta. We celebrated my friend's birthday here and it was the perfect spot. I highly recommend visiting during sunset as the views are incredible. Everything we ordered was delicious. I highly recommend the tortilla soup, it was top notch. I had the short ribs for dinner which I would definitely order again. I will definitely return on my next visit to PVR!

Lovely lovely meal on the beach. Oceanside experience that can’t be beat.

We ordered coconut shrimp, duck mole enchiladas, beef short rib, and local catch of the day - sea bass. For dessert, churros and mascarpone flan. Cocktails and espressos ????????

Lots of local vendors pass by on the beach. A great mariachi band played us one of their favorites. Also enjoyed the fireworks that are set off along the coast every 30min or so!

Locals raved about La Palapa and, and I was told they have been here since 1959. A timeless place to have brunch and dinner (cena) and celebrate special moments especially anniversaries. Excellent service, good selection of drinks, and an amazing view of the ocean. Really enjoyed the evening ambiance, very romantic. Love the mariachi bands too. Very lively place and great for large groups on the beach, or a romantic dinner for two.

Cheers!
