    This place is, I believe, under new ownership. I could be wrong, but that would explain the wonderful new updates! Features stunning views of the ocean from the restaurant or the beach seating. The food has been revamped and is absolutely incredible. The red snapper is worth a try!

    Staff was excellent, drink and food we're delivered promptly. On the pricey side for drinks. Solid oysters on the half shell. Smoked Marlin toastada was absolutely delicious. Wasn't impressed with the tuna. Overall a great place to watch the sunset from either down on the sand or upstairs.

    Very beautiful view of the ocean and relaxing atmosphere. Food was okay, a bit over rated and I’d go somewhere else next time. Very touristy.

    This place was absolutely gorgeous! You could hear and see the waves right from where we were sitting which just further enhanced the atmosphere. The staff was also super friendly!

    We went to La Langosta Loca last night. It is in the Romantic Zone - right at the north end along the ocean. We were up on the second floor and had a great view. We started with the guacamole which my wife said was the best. We then had an Octopus and Avocado Tostada and a Shrimp and Clam Squid Tostada. These appetizers were a very generous portion. We the finished up with the Garlic and Butter Shrimp. Prices are good for the Romantic Zone, the views on the 2nd floor are incredible, the service was excellent and the food was very good. We were able to use a credit card here. Credit to my wife for the pictures.

    The oyster plate is fantastic, 12 for $180 pesos. Beautiful restaurant and very friendly and attentive staff. We also tried the camarones in cilantro sauce with mushrooms and mashed potatoes, which was just ok, it was a big plate with lots of shrimp but the sauce was missing something, and the oily bread tasted like butter flavored margarine. The mashed potatoes had too much sour cream mixed in and also had a fake butter taste. A switch to real butter would improve the flavours a lot! Overall the value is in the oysters for us and we returned the next day for more.

    Just went for an evening drink to watch the sunset. Great location. Started with a Diet Coke, then mojito, the asked the waiter to surprise us with a drink and he brought us something not on the menu. Delicious!! It got windy and a bit chilly. He brought us a wrap to wear. Super clean, super nice. We watched some of the food dishes come out and WOW, very creative and everyone seemed very satisfied with their food. Recommend!

    For our last night in PV we decided to give this place a try. Big mistake. As we waited for 45min for our food to arrive, people sitting at the table across from us were arguing with the waiter about how bad the food was. When our food arrived, 3 out of 4 ordered plates were cold and tasted bad. In fact the blackened salmon my wife ordered was so salty it made her want to throw up. Despite the fact that we only consumed one plate out of four, they still made us pay for three orders. We felt we were ripped off. Word of advice, avoid at all costs. Cilantro shrimp in photo was also over salted and tasted like oil.

    Good oysters on the half shell. The fried whole snapper was the bomb. The bloody Mari, equally delicious.

    The fish tacos were awesome! Cold beer, relaxing view and great food. Extremely affordable prices. Very local and traditional Mexican beach venue.

    Very good margaritas and the view is wonderful. Neither of us enjoyed our entrees at all. The fish taco appetizer was good.

    The staff were very gracious and welcoming. The menu is mostly seafood so just get the lobster it was delicious. It's served two different ways and both were amazing. The sunset was great and the music was plentiful.

  • 4/5 Donnie T. 4 months ago on Google
    Only reason I gave 4 stars was because of all the vendors walking thru trying to sell you things, at least when sitting outside. So, we chose to sit outside on the beach under som umbrellas. The waves were crashing, cool breeze blowing, good times. The food was incredible. I had the Lobster Tail, service was great and so helpful and accommodating.

  • 3/5 Joey F. 3 months ago on Google New
    The views were amazing and the food was good. A little disappointed in the service as we were not provided a bill when we asked for it, we were just told the amount verbally. The amount we were told was higher than it should have been when adding up what we ordered. Pretty disappointing end to a nice visit.

  • 5/5 Luisana P. 8 months ago on Google
    Everything was soooo good!! Carlos was our server. Only thing is vendors come up non stop while you are just trying to enjoy the view and your not so cheap meal. I get it, I’m in the tourist part of town. Other than that, the Pulpo Zarandeado and the Ahi Tuna with Bean Tacos my husband got was amazing! Oh and our lime margaritas on the rocks were so good too!

    My resort probably had the worst food over ever ate. BUT THANK YOU LA LANGOSTA LOCA for giving me something to live for in Mexico. FOOD WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

  • 5/5 Mike 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 PATRICK OLIVER R. 1 year ago on Google
    I come here at least once whenever I visit Puerto Vallarta. The seafood always tastes fresh and delicious. And the service is great. I definitely recommend checking this place out!

  • 4/5 Madi 2 years ago on Google
    Good portions and service for a good price. This restaurant is located on the beach. There are scammers, however, that walk the beach and are dressed like waiters but do not actually work at the restaurant. No gracias them if they offer you oysters!

  • 5/5 Yoli G. 2 years ago on Google
    So relaxing to sit and eat on the beach with amazing views. The staff was very friendly and courteous as well.

  • 2/5 shatia h. 9 months ago on Google
    If you are wanting a nice atmosphere then this place is a nice vibe, but if you are wanting good food…skip it. My fish was overcooked and overpriced and that’s a lot coming from an American because we are used to overpriced food. I tried my friends plates too and none of the dishes were good. It was way too bad…I was excited too because so many suggest it when you are there. It’s not worth it. Made sure I took a picture of the sign so I didn’t visit again.

  • 4/5 ansaf a. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is fresh great. We ordered the red snapper. It comes grilled on the natural charcoal. It was great. The only thing I did not like is that they have to take your driver license number if you pay by credit card

  • 4/5 Emily C. 2 years ago on Google
    This was a great first stop in PV. I enjoyed the margarita and loved the guacamole. Service wasn’t especially exceptional, but it was nice to sit right on the beach.

  • 4/5 Collin J. 2 years ago on Google
    Saw this restaurant featured on Bizarre Foods. Fish sticks were recommended by the TV host. Not available 03.2022 however we were not disappointed by the meals we ordered. Crab Enchiladas and a ? Marino's A dish with Fish, Octopus & Shrimp. Very delicious!! Only disappointment we sat on the beach and were barrages with vendors while we eat our meal. That's why they got 4 stars not 5

  • 5/5 Michelle D. 1 year ago on Google
    Look the views we're amazing. 99% of the staff were awesome. I love that they were playing back and forth with me about Chula and Chulo. No Giovani our head waiter was upset that the drinks he brought us were wrong and he had to take them back. Then instead of bringing me a Maracuya margarita he brought me back a pineapple juice with no alcohol. The worst part was when we paid they charged me for a 15% tip without asking on my card. What if I didn't have that much left on the card. It was inconvenient and I've never had that happen before. I loved all the guys there. They were amazing except Giovani he didn't act like he wanted to help us.

    Had to stop for margaritas and lift food. Guaco locos and crabs enchiladas was great. Try passion fruit margarita on the rocks . Amazing .

  • 4/5 Valerie V. 1 year ago on Google
    Great views right near Los Muertos pier. Came for a few drinks, had some Mai Tai...best in the area. Ended up getting some octopus, also tasty.

  • 4/5 Tammy F. 2 years ago on Google
    Top deck has best view, but they we're full, so we had a table in the sand. If you don't mind beach vendors it's great. I had their traditional prawn dish with grilled veggies and rice. Messy but delicious!
