    The place was fun and clean. The servers were nice however we were over charged on drinks. Suggest to close tab after each round. They would not work with us on over charge and I think this happened because two people tried to cover the table orders. Swing by and say hi but I do not suggest to stay long.

    Don’t come to this bar if your going to pay USD. Overcharged for drinks that should cost way less. Pushy when it comes to closing your Tab and insist on a $10 tip for 6 drinks. I always leave tip but don’t be pushy about it

    All the five star reviews on here are fake. The waiters demand for your phone and place fake 5 star reviews when you've only been there for five minutes. Very small place, over priced watered down drinks. They only care for the customers who buy bottle service which is overpriced! Waitresses and waiters constantly bumping in to you without a care in the world! Do not go here!! Waiters and waitresses also demand a tip after they serve you one drink! When they bring the check they repeat several times “the tip is not included” It was a very uncomfortable experience. I do not recommend.

    We had a few drinks over two hours and they charged our card $400 on top of $100 cash; then acted like we were crazy for questioning. Horrible cheap liquor, the server in the photo acted like he was our best friend and robbed us blind. By the time they charged the card it was “too late.” ¡Ladrones!

    “Increíble lugar buen servicio de norma y Janet” this was the fake review that Norma gave her self. Awful place!! Over priced! Watered down drinks! Only customers they care about is the ones that buy bottle service! Waiters and waitresses pump into you without a regard. Do not recommend at all.

    Sad to say the service was horrible. We ordered 4 drinks, asked for the bill and it was $423. As you can imagine let them know they gave us the wrong bill. We quickly realized it’s not the time to dispute.. multiple club security surrounded us telling us that we ordered 24 drinks in 20min, very intimidating asking for my ID and CC. I avoid a potential bad situation, but giving them cash and moved on. Stay safe and stay away.

    Had a scary experience my friend bought 3 bottle separately and they said that we did not pay for the third bottle and they got the police and we demanded to see the cameras to show proof that we paid for the third bottle and they didn’t want to show the camera video but then finally The cops made them show us and it showed us paying for the third one we had to stay for hours after it closed with just a couple friends. And they’re threatening to fight us! Please record your transactions if you’re paying with cash because they might do it to you

    I honestly had a great time here with my friends. We were bar hopping and came here for one drink. The sangria was very good. I loved the swing, the music & atmosphere. I recommend this place for its uniqueness. The staff were strict here, but I didn't really interact with them...

    I’ve been to La Vaquita in Cancún and had a great time, so I thought the one in Puerto Vallarta would be the same. However, service was slow, the DJ played techno most of the night AND some dude was taking a video under my friend’s skirt. I cussed him out, no one approached or said anything about it. I notified security but it seemed like the guy was known to staff.

    I don’t know which employee did it but they stole our credit card information. Literally by next day there were a ton of fraudulent charges. I’m fine with paying for the things we consume but bro that’s some chicken s$&@ right there. If you’re going to this place use cash only.

    Stepping into La Vaquita disco club was like entering a vibrant realm of music and energy. The atmosphere was electric, with pulsating beats and neon lights setting the stage for an unforgettable night out. The club's spacious dance floor provided ample room to groove, and the music selection was an exhilarating mix that kept the crowd moving. What stood out was the lively and diverse crowd that La Vaquita attracts. People from all walks of life came together to dance, laugh, and enjoy themselves. The club's welcoming ambiance made it easy to strike up conversations and make new friends on the dance floor. The staff at La Vaquita was attentive and efficient.

    Bottle service guy added his own tip of 30% on my credit card bill while I was at the cashier and then goes back to the table to ask for more tips. Bold. 😳

    Loved it! Great music, good vibes, loved getting on the big swing they have, and I really liked that they don’t bother you to get bottles or consume a lot. We only ordered a couple beers and had a great time.

    Awful experience here. We ordered from one of the waiters and he got our order wrong. We were then made to pay for the wrong order and he made my partner give him his ID so we could not leave. I would not recommend this place, felt very uncomfortable here.

    Avoid this place! Read the lowest reviews, had the same experience with them trying to charge my card $400 when the tab was $280 and I paid $100 in cash. Scam, idk how they’re not out of business. Apart from that they were trying to reach into girls bags to grab more money literally stealing cornering their bouncers to the girls. There’s plenty of charming family safe bars not on el malecon. Stay away from this dump!

    Service was 4/5 but what made me put 3 stars was they took my card from me and charged me 20% for tip. Even if the service was 20% worthy it’s so inappropriate that they took my card to the back and charged 20% extra without even asking me. Like give me the option and I’ll tip 20%, but to do it behind my back feels sneaky and gross

    The worst experience of my life. Me best friend went into diabetic shock and all they were concerned about was the bill that we shouldn’t have paid for. We got water and only water. They charged us and didn’t allow us to leave. We paid the bill and still didn’t allow us to leave. This is the worst bar I have been too. Their consideration is out the window. Will NEVER go back. After 6 years going to puerto Vallarta I will never go back.

    It was an amazing experience definitely like the atmosphere and staff. But let me tell you when they charge for everything even the shows the guve for bottle service. And first the claim that the bottle service is 200 bucks and them its more like about 800 or more of course as tourists we go to local bar to have a good time but they do see as dollars sign I would definitely do more communications before you get the bottle service

    They rip Americans off and give whatever prices they feel to whom ever ! And I overheard one of the bouncers talking about having $Ex with a chicken ! How disgusting!

  • 5/5 Keila A. 1 year ago on Google
    The best place you could ever go to . Will always love to come back and have Dayana and Alonso attend us

  • 1/5 Anthony R. 5 months ago on Google
    If your American do not come here with your cash. Once they see it they try to charge $20 a drink. American please avoid.

  • 2/5 Morgan P. 2 years ago on Google
    Went in here excited, based on how it looks from the boardwalk. Our group was quickly disappointed by paying for expensive drinks and realizing there was no alcohol in any of our drinks. The wait staff was aggressively pushing us to buy more and flat out said "we expect a 30% tip".. not worth anyone's time really unless you're trying to waste money

  • 4/5 OVIO B. 4 months ago on Google
    Girls drank free on Thursday, guys paid $600 MXN for open bar. What you’d expect, watered down drinks. Music was 8/10 for us.

  • 1/5 Joshua D. 2 years ago on Google
    Awful experience, waiter took our order wrong, when confronted he told us we must pay the difference, after explaining no I was asked for my ID, being slightly tipsy I said ok as I thought it was to pay with card! How wrong I was, used it to hold us there until we paid the difference in cash!!! If going please be careful and know what you’re ordering beforehand. Shabby waiter and would not recommend if slightly tipsy at all!

  • 1/5 Steven O. 10 months ago on Google
    Was told one price for drinks get us in and then they switched to another once we were in the club. The waiter tried adding her own tip when all they did was bring a drink. The drink itself was just sugar and they were rude/constantly bumping into us.

  • 1/5 Jennifer G. 10 months ago on Google
    the location was overall alright—i’m making this review souly to describe the individuals who come to this place. first of all, there are a lot of creeps. it is disgusting how many individuals are there preying on others, making them extremely uncomfortable. i saw many men taking advantage of others who were not in the right state of mind. not only that but my own brother was unfortunately groped at this establishment. it took so much to kick one of these individuals out, it is actually scary what else has been allowed. i would arrive and stay at this place very sober. even if they make an effort to keep a safe environment, there are others who will violate this.

  • 5/5 Christopher B. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is so much fun! Would strongly suggest !

  • 3/5 Devin 1 year ago on Google
    They take off with your “ID” I actually paid and left this nightclub to find out they still had my ID. Not to sure what that was all about, returned and got it back no problem. Staff were friendly for the most part. Drinks were reasonable.

  • 1/5 Rachel K. 1 year ago on Google
    These weasels lied to us about drink prices and brought us a huge bill at the end. Do not recommend, they will definitely squeeze you for whatever they can get away with. Drinks were very unimpressive. Do yourself a favour and spend your money elsewhere.

  • 1/5 Ernesto M. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is the worst night club in Mexico, the music is terrible, the prices are too high, and the alcohol was adulteres, the DJ was the worst DJ I ever heard in my whole life. When we tried to pay, the staff told us that they can’t accept the payment with different cards (as if we live in the Stone Age) besides that, the staff included in the account an extra charge of 30% for the service which is extremely mean. If you want, a good time and have fun with your friends this is not the place.

    If you’re ballin on a budget you may not like the bottle prices. The music was good. The bottle service is cool they make an event out of it. I’d recommend if you have 5k -10k pesos spending budget for the night. It was packed on a Wednesday night. They treated us with a lot of respect since we got the bottle. The atm out front only gives US dollars and it’s quite pricey. It cost $14 to withdraw $80. Lol wasn’t a fan of that. And then you have to change the us to pesos in the club so you lose money twice because the conversion is lower. That’s what lowered my rating from 5 stars but I think it was a great experience and I met some cool people.

  • 5/5 Vania M. 1 year ago on Google
    Dayana y luis we’re very welcoming, they treated us very well and got our drinks out very fast. Awesome bar and awesome experience!

  • 3/5 Julie R. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool, amazing. Party doesn't start till after 10pm. $35 /$700(pesos) for 6 beers including tip. Except for a male snooty bar tender.

  • 4/5 Jon H. 1 year ago on Google
    We had so much fun at this place. Great music, great atmosphere. Unfortunately though we had a run in with security on our first night, as my son was dancing with his shirt off, and we got ejected from the club quite forcibly. We complained to head of security though, and the next night they went above and beyond to make it up to us. They treated us really respectfully and professionally, and were also very generous with us, so I gave them a high rating as overall this was a really fun place to party our nights away.

👍👍 Okay so this was the first place recommended to try on my trip to Puerto Vallarta. I feel like I should give the person who recommended this place a brand new car because it was absolutely amazing! I think my server's name was Daniel and he did an outstanding job. Make sure you start off with a larg...
