Foodie Hot Spots

PV's biggest concentration of restaurants is in the Zona Romántica, many in Colonia Emiliano Zapata. Once called Restaurant Row, Calle Basilio Badillo now has as many shops as restaurants, but on the surrounding streets eateries continue to crop up. Downtown has its fair share of choice places, too. All in all, gourmets will be happiest here in Old Vallarta, where an appetizer, sunset cocktail, or espresso and dessert isn't more than a $3 cab ride away.

Bucerías has good restaurants in the center of town. Marina Vallarta's worthwhile eateries are mainly in the resorts and surrounding the marina. Punta de Mita's restaurant scene is diversifying to bring more than ceviche and fish fillets to the palapas at El Anclote.
