Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Punta de Mita

The location and ambience are everything you’d hope for in a PV experience. With the option of being under the roof or on the beach, we chose the beach. Perfect choice. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was stellar. The final check felt a little pricier than their $$$ designation. My wife continued to thank me for finding La Palapa and treating our group of four to an evening we will always cherish when our memories find us back in PV.

I made this reservation for my cousin and his wife that were visiting PV. It is one of our favorite places when we are there, and wanted them to try it. I also purchased a gift card for them to use, and the staff there was great about presenting it to them when they arrived. They had a wonderful time and loved every bit of it! Thank you to the staff for making this work!

The view is worth coming up the hill to the restaurant. Try to book for sunset for a fabulous evening. I've been twice and find the food to be adequate but not phenomenal. Our fist time we had lasagna, which no one thought was great. It was fine. For our second visit, my catch of the day either was overcooked or not actually caught that day. It was very bland from my perspective. I wish they had served the whole fish instead of just a filets. My mom had the lobster which was very good and not overcooked. My husband had shrimp with linguine, which he liked. So for me, the food is fine, but come for the view! It you want to keep it cheap, just go the bar for drinks and you can still see the view.

Fantastic food and service. Great ambience and a beautiful location.

The cheese balls at the beginning were phenomenal.
