12:43 *Luv Le Kliff. The food, service & ambiance are amazing.*

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

Definitely one of the most breathtaking restaurants. Maybe we have to visit a second time!

[@YvonneMendezRealtor]

@@Wakingupwiththewangs Yes, go again😃. Maybe you just had bad timing the first time.

[@emiliacastillo7283]

Looks awesome!!

Incredible video! Easily the best travel review video I've ever seen. Thank you so much going to all!

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

Thanks so much for your kind comment! Seriously means a lot to us! Hopefully you get to enjoy the amazing food and restaurants in PV soon! Cheers! 🍻

[@abiliovieira9644]

Coming to Puerto Vallarta in November, will definitely check out a couple of your restaurant suggestions. Thanks for the great video.

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

Thank YOU for watching! Have so much fun!

Because of your video on the 5 unique restaurants, I went to La Capella to celebrate my birthday (a couple weeks late) and my friend's 70th birthday. Hands down it was the most beautiful restaurant I've ever been to! Thank you for doing this video! You really helped make our PV trip and my birthday celebration so much more memorable! I've never been so taken back by such a beautiful ambiance and had such delicious food! Seriously you guys thank you soooo much! Hope we cross paths sometime in PV!

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

This has to be the best comment we've ever received! Thank you and we are SO glad you and your friend had a great birthday celebration at La Capella. It is truly one of a kind! Hope to cross paths in PV as well!

Le Kliff, espectacular ❤️🥰🍽️🍷

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

Muchas Gracias!! ♥️♥️

[@user-jv4oh1bh5s]

Outstand reviews. Thank you so much for your insightful information and great choices. Apparently, you both have great taste! I have been in the food and beverage industry for 50 years, and this review gives me something to look forward to upon my relocating there for the final chapter in my life! Keep sharing your golden nuggets of info! Mark

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

Hi Mark! Thanks so much for your kind comment! This is very encouraging and we can’t wait to visit more places and check out the culture and food scene! Cheers and happy travels!

[@tomirwinphoto]

Excellent reviews. La Capella food, service, view and music make it a favorite. Le Kliffe was a great experience with a fantastic view but we may have dined on a good night as your less than stellar observations are not uncommon. La Palapa on the beach is another favorite. On an upcoming trip we’ll be making our first visits to Casa Kimberly and The Ocean Grill.

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

Thanks Tom! We appreciate it! Maybe now that we had that experience at Le Kliffe we will give them a try again! We can’t wait to go back to La Cappella in January!

[@cesarruiz4340]

Try Cafe de Olla in downtown PV authentic Mexican food specially breakfast 🍳 and lunch 🍱 mmmm yummy 😋

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

we can't count the amount of times we've walked by Cafe de Olla. We have to give it a try in December!

Just booked my tickets to PV like a hour ago!! getting super excited

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

Yessss! You’re going to have so much fun!!

[@jrgomez8133]

I’ll be in PVR this march. Can’t wait! My family originated from there and I’m still learning about my heritage there.

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

You're going to love it. Let us know if you need additional recs!

[@dagho07]

I’m originally from Tepic, Nayarit, grew up visiting NVR, PVR & Bahia de Banderas. My family & I have seen the towns’ progress & we are foodies. Thanks for your honest review, I’ve actually visited a few of those restaurants & cannot agree more with your reviews. Please keep exploring it👍🫶👍

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

Thank you for the support! we’d love to explore more in Nayarit!

[@bryancole842]

Love Vallarta - You definitely went for the higher-end places... For breakfast be sure to try Fredy's Cafe for the waffles and Cocos Kitchen for the eggs benedict in Zona Romantica.

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

Thanks Bryan! We haven’t tried Freddy’s Tucan but plan to when we go back in January! We love Coco’s Kitchen! Their churro pancakes were our favorite!

[@fidelpeterson8502]

I don't write many reviews but felt compelled to make a comment about your video. I enjoyed your video for a couple of reasons... Fist, it gave practical and useful information for someone planning to travel and visit the restaurants you've reviewed. Second, I appreciated that your review included multiple views of the interior and in some cases exterior of each location. Third, you critiqued the food....... You said it yourself that "TASTE" is subjective and everyone has their own preferences, likes, and dislikes. But your candid and honest remarks help those watching the video judge/understand the style and level of quality we can expect to have compared to our life experiences with other similar restaurants. Last, thank you for giving the truthful review of Le Kliff.... You were respectful with your comments when giving your honest opinion of your experience. Thanks for the video I found it very helpful and plan to visit two of the spots on my trip...

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

you have no idea how impactful this is on us!! thank you so much for taking your time to comment and for your words of encouragement!

[@fidelpeterson8502]

I'm cool with street tacos and bar food during the day but I like to close the day with a good meal in a nice atmosphere... I'm planning on trying The Iguana and La Capella... @@Wakingupwiththewangs

[@claudetrudel1773]

Ocean grill ic closed. The owner just opened Faro Gri in La Cruz

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

Thanks for letting us know! We will check out their new restaurant!

[@geerdude950]

love your videos, going in feb and staying at pinnacles ps: Mariscos Cisneros is one of my fave seafood restaurants in PV

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

we love pinnacles! which pinnacle are you staying at? Mariscos Cisneros is SO good! 😛

[@geerdude950]

@@Wakingupwiththewangs 179... see u there? 😉

[@jamesmccue6685]

ha ha i fell out when the screen went black and white 🤣

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

A visual representation of how we felt on the inside! 😭

[@morrowcleveland]

Thank you for your great video. My fiance and I are getting married in PV in June 2023. I will definitely incorporate your suggestions into our plans. Funfact, Le Kliff is one of the places that I contacted for a wedding quote. Way too much $$$, but I was planning to chek them out for a dinner. I'll think twice about that now. All the best to you!

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

congratulations to you and your fiance! PV is perfect for a destination wedding. I'm sure it's going to be beautiful. thank you for watching and supporting our videos :)

[@brianhammond2832]

Le Kliff was exactly my impression as well. Skip it people!

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

much better options out there for sure!

[@robertgarcia3863]

Also agree with you on Le Kliff. Beautiful setting but food is overpriced and quality lacking. Definitely agree about La Cappella it's our favorite restaurant in PV. We ❤️ La Cappella !!!!

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

Thanks for sharing your opinion! We conpletelyyyy agree with you! Cheers and happy traveling!!

[@chriscullen2888]

Heading to ocean grill for the first time in a couple weeks. For a persons first time do you recommend hiking there or taking the boat? Is there an option to do boat one way and hike one way?

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

Do you like hiking? If so, I think it’s worth the hike for the first time. You’ll find some hidden and secluded beaches along the way with clear water. I’m sure you can just pay a one way ticket back at the restaurant. Make sure to give yourself time to hike there so you won’t miss your appt since you only have 2 hours to dine. Have fun!!

[@carlosm.5258]

Did u take a drone? When u where at the cliff it looks like you where recording with a drone?

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

We did record with a drone! The restaurant location is too beautiful to not bring one! :)

[@carlosm.5258]

@@Wakingupwiththewangs i taught you couldn’t bring a drone into mexico? Ive seen online. Only mexico residents can have one in Mexico

[@josephmiller1725]

Would love if you put the name and location of restaurants in the description so I don’t have to watch the whole video to see your suggestions

[@davidh2420]

I agree with Le Kliff the views are amazing, but the food is average and overpriced. The service was very lacking, had to keep asking for water refills, drinks, etc.

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

Couldn’t agree more with you! If it weren’t for the views, we wouldn’t even have included the restaurant in our video. Thanks for watching btw!

[@scottmoreno1027]

I have watched many many pv videos of restraunts and food reviews. No one has ever gone to las carmelitas. Hidden gems of hidden gems. Best view in all of pv. Be there for sunset. Not all taxi drivers know how to get there and uber isn't reliable to there. Go to taxi station outside los arcos and he will get you someone that knows.

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

Ooo thank you for the recommendation! Will definitely visit!

[@coloradomushman]

Just a heads up everyone, these restaurants are mediocre at best and marketed towards tourists. Great ambiance and views. Crappy, overpriced food. Theres much better places to eat if u are in town for good food but these are great places for being seen or posting on social media

[@safirijorgensen7842]

How hard was it to find trail to Ocean grill? How easy and how much was uber to Boat? ❤🙏🏼❤

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

Very easy! The trail to Playa Colomitos will take you directly to Ocean Grill. Uber to the dock in Boca de Tomatlan was around $10. Very affordable! Have fun!!

[@safirijorgensen7842]

Hi ♡ How do I reserve romantic table on balcony at La Cappella?

[@Wakingupwiththewangs]

Hi! We went pretty early and was able to secure a spot. We also did make a reservation requesting to sit near the railing. If u have a party of 2-4, it should be easy to get one. Just request in advance! :)

[@safirijorgensen7842]
