We always stop by at least a few times during our 10 day trips to PV. Simple and clean. I wouldn't go there for a full meal. But by all means go. A few icy beers and good bar food from a straight forward menu. Then move on. But you won't find as cheap a place until you get down... More

Good food, cheap drinks and wonderful view. Service is excellent. Can't beat the great view of the ocean and the malecon. Highly recommend. Will go back again and again.

I decided to stop at Cheeky Monkey, to have a $1 margarita ($1 beers offered as well) and watch the sunset. This turned out to be a great decision, as the margarita was delicious and strong, despite its low price. I ended up having two and ordering dinner. I got the spinach salad (so hard to find in Mexico), which... More

Yeah, it's a tourist trap, but it's a tourist trap with great views and dollar margaritas, so who cares? It was a hot afternoon on the Malecon and I was thirsty, and Cheeky Monkey really hit the spot. It was a great place for people-watching. The dollar margaritas are OK, but they have a number of other margaritas and different... More

Desperately in need of a cold drink on a hot afternoon, we were tempted by the Cheeky Monkey's offers of $1 beer and margaritas. To go along with the drinks was an incredible 2nd or 3rd floor verandah view overlooking the malecon (2nd floor nonsmoking, third floor smoking). Our quick stop for a drink soon turned into an evening affair... More

We went here twice in our 2 night stay. Excellent! I swear we sat there for a few hours had apps and drinks and drinks and our bill was close to $10. Crazy. The perfect place to watch a Vallarta sunset - which happened around 830/845 pm somehow when we were there this last weekend. It was light out till... More

When traveling to Puerto Vallarta and walking the Malecon boardwalk, be sure to stop by the Cheeky Monkey for a beer or margarita. Both are offered at just $1.00 and is a full size beer not a cornita size. The margarita's are served in full size glasses and are NOT watered down. Located in the heart of the Malacon boardwalk...

We probably would never have stopped at this place except that we were told it was $1 margarita day. So who could pass this up? We enjoyed the view sitting above the Malecon where there were no beach vendors. Our waiter, Christobon, was great. Very personable and he shared a lot of his knowledge about PV where he was born...
