There are WAY too many to list!
Suggest you start with Olas Altas and Basilo Badillo, two streets right by where you are staying. B. Badillo is dubbed "restaurant row".
Breakfast:
Fredy's El Tucan (patio)
Memo's Casa de Hotcakes
Cafe de Olla
Cafe Angel
ChocoBanana
Lunch:
anywhere on Playa Los Muertos, there's a long line up of restaurants with beach service
Fonda Chili's (new ownership)
Cafe de Olla
Dinner:
Fajita Republic
Cafe de Olla
Asadero(?)
or anywhere else that suits your fancy on B. Badillo, most are reasonable and everyone posts their menus
And you haven't even gone "north" across the bridge/river into El Centro yet...

I agree w/Suze all the restaurants she mentioned are inexpensive however if you do want a treat at an expensive place just go for happy hour and appetizers. That can be done on a budget and I hope you have a wonderful time.

Generally speaking, walking inland will get you less expensive choices because it is more local neighborhood, less tourist, both north (downtown) and south (zona romantica) or the Rio Cuale (river that cuts thru town.
The restaurants along the Malecon have more expensive drinks, generally speaking.
Most places on the beach at Los Muertos offer 2for1 happy hours.

Additionally: If you haven't already gone, you are close to Rizo's grocery and your condo undoubtedly has a refrigerator. You can easily do a few breakfasts at home. Pipi's is my favorite on Pipila 3-4 blocks up from the Malecon (northern edge.) Also Cafe California on the Malecon has an excellent selection of breakfast items really cheap. Happy hours are everywhere. Between 2 and 4pm everyday at El Torito (old town on Caranza & I. L. Vallarta) you get ribs 2 for one (that's $110 pesos for two plates of ribs with french fries and coleslaw) Great ribs.

MissVicki's gone and returned. See her trip report here somewhere.
But I want to add one new place to my restaurant list:
Joe Jack's Fish Shack on B. Badillo
Really good food, service and atmosphere!
Il Torrito's upstairs was closed for remodeling but meant to open in a few weeks, they said.
