Los Arbolitos, Emiliano Zapata

Great place to eat. Suggested by one of the locals and every time we go to PV make sure we go back. This was the first time I have ever had tortlla soup and I have yet to find anywhere that makes it as good. Also has a little gift shop that has better prices than the market.

We had a great dinner at Los Arbolitos. From what we learned, it is a completely family run restaurant where everyone on the staff (in the family) learns every aspect of the restaurant. The food was excellent. The chef selects fresh food every day and the whole red snapper was extremely fresh and tasty. If in Vallarta, definitely make the effort to get to Los Arbolitos.

This is the most fantastic restaurant I've ever been to. Right in the heart of old town PV, this family owned restaurant has a great atomosphere and wonderfully fresh food. The guacamole is made fresh right at your table and the servers make you feel right at home.

Puerto Vallarta was a stop on our cruise. We asked the best taxi driver in the world(Marcos Hernandez)where we could get the best Mexican ever. He took us to Los Arbolitos and actually sat down to eat with us, so we knew he wasn't lying. The tamale was delicious, the Margarita's were perfect(not too sweet). The best was the guacamole. Many in our group never have eaten it before, but loved it. They make it fresh at your table with only the freshest ingredients. The servers were accomodating and made you feel special. Though we have some good Mexican restaurants in our area, I believe none will ever top this one.

The place was clean, the view was peaceful from the 3rd story, the food was good and the service was accomodating of our child. We were delighted with the meal and the experience. We had our 3yr old in tow and were exhausted from a long day of excursions. We asked the taxi driver for a recommendation and he took us here. We asked him to wait for us because it appeared it would be difficult to find another taxi in this quiet part of town. When we went to leave we spotted him eating on the other side of the restaurant!

Our favorite Mexican restaurant in PV. Locals and Tourists both enjoy delicious Mexican food which is not as easy to find here as one would think. The service is friendly and efficient. The chicken enchiladas are the best I've ever had. There is always live music and entertainment. The best part is the atmosphere! Dining on a balcony watching the locals crossing the arched bridge over the River into town for the evening feels so authentic.

The view was great over looking the Cuale River with mountains in the background.The place is for those seeking the flavor of authentic mexican food and seafood in a peaceful atmosphere. The staff was so kind.

My friends and I stumbled on this place by accident several years ago. It's not easy to find, but it's worth the effort! It's by far my favorite restaurant in PV. During the day, it's almost all locals; however, at night it's a nice mix of locals and the kinds of tourists who enjoy being away from the mainstream. I personally love the fact that it is away from the touristy parts of PV. You can sit on the 3rd floor overlooking the river and hills. The food is amazing as are the margaritas!!

I loved it all! The service was outstanding, the food was great and was served quickly! The restaurant was clean and well kept! It was a great afternoon in PV.

We had a driver for the day and he took us to Los Arbolitos for lunch. The food was fantastic, the margaritas and guacamole were the best I've ever had. This is family owned and run. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We plan on stoping here again the next time we get to PV. I highly recommend it.
