We went due to the great reviews. But we will not be back! We went on Karaoke night, which would have been fine but it was SO loud. Also the only people participating were the staff. They had a captive audience---literally. The waitstaff were kind and helpful with special orders, but the food was expensive and mediocre. Salads, pastas, pizza----all... more

Too bad you visited on Karaoke night and I am sorry we could not turn down the music to accommodate you as you requested. I am also sorry that we did not have seating available further back from the performers due to us being very full as it would have been more comfortable. To say that only the staff sang...

We were very pleased to find Cafe Roma. This was our first visit but have been to Puerto Vallarta many times. From the time that we entered the doorway until we left, we had a great experience. Sr Fox, his wife and staff treat you like friends. We felt very welcome. We called home on his phone and our family... more

I really don't even know where to begin. Imagine you are in a strip mall in Arkansas. That about sums up the atmosphere. Sharpie graffiti on the walls, college football flags lead to the bathroom (which are clean, I'll give 'em that), and the crowd... Well, the crowd is what you would find in said strip mall. Minus a few... more

I so sorry you did not like our fun little place and our older clientele. If you recall, I did keep the kitchen open for you despite the fact you came in after our normal closing time. I take exception to you calling our pizza frozen. Each pizza is made fresh from scratch and those funny looking mushrooms are fresh...

Great place for the Canucks to hang out. Senor Fox is from Winnipeg. They make you feel comfortable as soon as you enter the establishment. If we would have had more time we would have made another trip back for drinks! more

We have been travelling to Puerto Vallarta for quite a few years now and we came across Cafe Roma one day after coming out of the market a few years ago. Now whenever we are in Puerto Vallarta (coming up again in December 2009) we always make sure we visit our friends at Cafe Roma! Some how Juan-Carlos and Jorge... more

Pizzas were fantastic on both visits. Atmosphere unbeatable. Karaoke night was a great laugh - sorry I didn't have the "bottle" to get up and sing, but it was probably for the best, LOL! Ben (our 6 year old son) enjoyed his first ever Karaoke performance. Super friendly staff and owners. Totally inspiring support of the "Feed The Children, Vallarta"... more

I consider myself a tequilla drinker and was curious about their tequilla. After owner blew a bunch of smoke about their house tequilla being Tripple distilled I couldn't argue with him, so I bought a bottle. IT FROZE! This is what he had to say "Hi Matt, Our tequila is somewhere between 35 and 38% and will freeze. I recommend... more

I am sorry you had a bad experience with our Tequila. I have never claimed however that our Tequila was triple distilled. Our Tequila is a very fine natural Tequila that comes from the City of Tequila here in the state of Jalisco. I am told our Tequila is in the 35% range and I have no reason to dispute...

We visited Cafe Roma November 14th 2009. Thought the place was great and went back later that day for a pizza. I was all set to tell everyone I knew what a wonderful little bar this was till i paid my check and received an exchange rate of 10 pesos to the US$. I could walk down the street and... more

Thank you for pointing that out. We try to make everyone aware of our exchange rates and I admit they are not good. We do have a good exchange house just two short blocks away and we also accept credit cards that pay fair exchange. I hope we see you back soon. The next Margarita is on me.

My husband and I are renewing our vows in 2010. Our small 6 day trip to PV was supposed to be a quick getaway before our "big" trip to Antigua for our ceremony. I never in a million years thought I would fall in love with puerto vallarta but I did and now we are having our ceremony there in... more
