Best place to get some fresh fruit and vegetables. Also a few stalls to get breakfast or lunch. Closes at 4. Tuesdays most places are closed. My buddy Gustavo has this place that sells 'fresh fruit flavored waters' which are just awesome! Just ask around for 'aguas frescas'

One of my favorite seafood places in Vallarta. Surprisingly cheap. I recommend the Ceviches or Aguachile. Best to get like 2 dishes and share. Order more if you are still hungry. The trick is to fill up on the 'tostadas' if you're on a budget.

A German restaurant in Mexico... I know what you are thinking but trust me... a, the location is beautiful and b, the food is great. The restaurant is also a boutique hotel, it has a 'hacienda' style design. Check out their website to find out when they do their buffet with all you can drink beer!

Best Street tacos in Vallarta. Order: An 'Arriero' 'con todo' 'maiz' Trust me... you won't regret it! This is one of Vallartas.... sketchy neighborhoods but really... it's fine, this is a very busy street and so nothing will happen to you.

Drinks & Nightlife

It's close by, has an awesome bar/view of the ocean. If you are lucky you can release some turtles, just ask in the reception when they have those programmed (it's seasonal). Food... is blah... drinks are good.
