Abulón Antojeria del Mar

Hands down we would vote Abulón our favorite go to restaurant spot that's local to us here in Puerto Vallarta. Located in Versalles neighborhood, it's got a great outdoor, bright and fun vibe. Always a good amount of people here, locals and tourists, split about 50/50 in the busy season and more locals during the slower season, all seated in the cool, covered patio area.
We've been over 10 times, yes, it's that good! And have had great dishes each time. To start the servers, bartenders, chefs, cooks and bussers run a pretty tight team, we always see the same crew and they are all super helpful, kind, and it's nice to see them all working as a team. The fish, produce, seafood, tortillas, all fresh, fresh, fresh!!! The menu is quite large with something for everyone, with new spins on ceviche's and classics as well. The plating is always thoughtful and beautiful, and portions are generous, always fair prices and if anything better priced then local "competition".
Here are some of the dishes we've tried: Octopus on the rocks (savory and plenty of seared pulpo & roasted potatoes), blondie tostada (chilled and so refreshing), whole fried snapper (market price), fish of the day (so tender) , marlin tacos, seafood stew (giant, but we ate every bite!), shrimp pastor tacos, tuna berry tostada (loaded with fresh tuna), tuna taco (yummm), shrimps cucaracha style (shell on folks, so good!) and a few more. All delightful! Don't skip their house made salsas, these have some real heat, so so good!
Great food and also fantastic drinks! The bartender usually working is a awesome, she's fast, consistent, and generous pours are also a great deal. We've had margaritas, racillitas (gotta try one if you haven't!), mezcalitas, and local ice cold beers, so refreshing.
It's a beautiful venue, with incredible food, an awesome crew, and always full of happy guests; each with their own favorites. We love this place and are fortunate to have it as our go to place for a fun and delicious night out.
