Guidebook for Puerto Vallarta
Food Scene
Truly excellent Garlic Shrimp and (and for those who enjoy spicy food) Shrimp a la Diabla. The Steak Fajitas are also really good. The hospitality of the staff is very friendly and attentive and if you order the special of the day you get unlimited beer or a free pitcher of sangria.

What is there to say about Mr.Cream, except YUM!! This is hands down the best place to get breakfast in PV and there's no sticker shock on the prices. Just the best waffles, pancakes, and french toast you've ever had.

This nice little restaurant along the Malecon has nice outside seating and the best $1.00 margaritas that I've found so far. I've yet to find something on their menu I didn't like. I find its location along the Malecon extremely convenient as well, because about the time I get tired of walking and shopping and want a cool drink I come upon Oasis Bay. It's the place directly under the Cheeky Monkey with the umbrellas on the sidewalk.

Hands down the best burgers in PV!! The owner (Hal) is almost always there when they're open and will help you order and bring you your food. If you're familiar with Dick's Burgers in Seattle, you'll probably like The Original Burger because somehow Hal (the owner) figured out Dick's Secret Sauce recipe.

Shopping
There are so many little shops to see and experience along the Malecon, there's just no way I can name them all. You'll find handmade nicknacks and souvenirs here that you won't find anywhere else, no matter how many times you go there's always more to see. My advice is to take a late afternoon stroll down the board walk and just take it all in. No trip to PV is complete without a visit to the Malecon.

Essentials
The Plaza Marina shopping center houses, amongst many other things, a nice sized Commercial Mexicana grocery store. The store carries a little bit of everything from produce and food to clothing and hardware. Its main characteristic that makes it my first stop shop is its convenient location, it's only a 10 min walk from Casa De Flores.

Sightseeing
Sayulita started out as a sleepy mexican town and is now a tourist hotspot. Despite this newfound popularity, the town still has an old mexico charm. Definitely worth a trip to experience.

Rincon de Guayabitos is one of my favorite places to make a day trip to. The beach is long and has a gradual drop-off and the little restaurants all along the beach are easy going and fun to eat at. Rincon de Guayabitos is a nice relaxed beach with little to no crowding, which is why it's my goto day trip over Sayulita. If you want a quiet lazy day trip to the beach outside PV, this is definitely my recommendation.

Parks & Nature
Playa Conchas Chinas is a nice step away from the touristy crowd of Playa Los Muertos. Literally within walking distance of Playa Los Muertos, it features small naturally formed swimming areas and tidal pools and is typically far less crowded than Playa Los Muertos.
