La Ola

$ Fodor's Choice
Fresh seafood including ceviche, tuna, and shrimp are to be found in this relaxed restaurant. The friendly staff and owners and surf decor (and sand that's often dragged in by surfers from the beach) makes for a relaxed vibe.

Sonora al Sur

$$ Fodor's Choice

Combine prime cuts from Sonora (Mexico's finest meat-producing state), a chef that has found the secret to grilling the perfect barbecue, and affordable rates, and you'll get this local favorite. The restaurant now has an indoor area with a/c, making it a comfortable place where to eat year round.

Buonissimo

$

This trendy but casual café also offers lunch and dinner, but it's the breakfast people come here for. Patrons love the enchiladas, huevos al gusto, pastries, and good coffee, though the pizzas and salads served later in the day and into the night are also tasty. It's one of the few places that has a/c during the summer months. Did we mention they also have Italian-style ice cream?

Dolce Vita

$

Fine Italian food can be found at any of the three locations of this well-known local business. Casual attire is expected, with the location in Nuevo Vallarta being somewhat fancier and ideal for either romantic dinners or family reunions.

Paseo de las Palmas 2, 63735, Mexico

Known For
  • Thin-crust pizzas
  • Excellent service
  • Gluten-free pasta

Eddie's Place Nopal Beach

This restaurant is an institution among locals and visitors who know that there's more than just all-inclusive hotels in Nuevo Vallarta. Eddie’s Place is one of the few expat meeting points in the area. Go for the company, stay for the food.
