This restaurant is always available even without reservations. We love the fish of the day and grilled chicken. The margaritas will make you invisible. Jeff

Went here and had the chile Relleno's which were good. Service is ok nothing special. But a good place to stop and it is not expensive which is what we like.

For many years we ate at Café de Olla every time we visited Puerto Vallarta. It was said to be the most popular restaurant with locals. Locals or not, it is not uncommon to see crowds of people waiting to get in during high season. We told ourselves that it was really good, but my wife and I eventually agreed... More

This was a great restaurant to visit. Try the coconut shrimp with mango sauce. It is spectacular. I had the combination fajita which also was great.

Cafe de Olla is in a convenient location just off Olas Altas. Food is average, as are prices. We have been here several times over the last 8 years and at times have adequate service and other times, not so much. The service today was such that I will not plan to spend my money there in the future when... More
