We have eaten at this place 3 years ago and it was that good that i haven't forgotten it. We will be back to Puerto VAllarta again this year in December and I can't wait to see Adauto and his kitchen again. Best Food in town, best host, simple restaurant but worth every penny.

Just returned from a week in Nueva Vallarta and had the opportunity to eat in the town of Buceria's on several times. One of the places was Adauto's By the Sea. Great food and a nice selection of seafood. Adauto is a very gracious host and we enjoyed talking with him. A little higher priced them some but worth the money.

Have known Adauto since his Los Tules days. Since he has opened his own restaraunt we have consistantly gone there and have never been disappointed. The service is exceptional and they always make you feel like family. If you can find a better setting for a dinner on the ocean I can't imagine where it would be. We have gone back every year at least twice and will continue to do so.

We have tried several of the "upscale" restaurants in Bucerias and consistently come back to Adauto's. Not only is the food delicious (try the coconut shrimp or the shrimp enchiladas), it is reasonably priced. Service has always been excellent on the many times we have been there. Adauto recently moved to a newer location-still on the beach-and the ambience and decor are much improved over his former site.

The best part about Adauto's, however, is Adauto himself. He makes everyone feel at home and the obvious pride he exhibits in his establishment is obvious.

We make Adautos our first stop as soon as we drop our luggage. We head down for the coconut shrimp - the VIEW - and the WELCOME for Adauto. Cant wait to see the new location just a couple of doors down...
WE tell everyone who heads to PV or Bucerias - dont miss it!

After reading the reviews on this website I was eager to try Aduato's Place. Unfortunately, I must agree with the lone dissenter in that the food was only so, so. I've had much better in Vallarta. I chose the Mahi Mahi in white wine sauce and my wife had the Coconut shrimp. I thought the shrimp were decent enough, but over-priced at $22.50 USD for the number you got. The Mahi was rather bland, and thats OK if the sauce were flavorful, which it was not. The cost of the Mahi was a reasonable enough at about $18.00 USD. The waitstaff was very attentive and courteous. Aduato is very personable. For starters I had the Caesar Salad, prepared at table side for $9.00 USD which was again OK. Bogarts is better. My wife chose the green salad which was a bargain at $4.50 and really large and full of veggies besides the lettuce. We were served really wonderful warm, garlic bread slices with our salads and meal. Drinks are a bit on the high side though. To start, two Pina Coladas were $17.00 USD. We finished the meal with Mexican coffee, again prepared at tableside for $24.00 USD. All totaled our bill for four drinks, two salads and two main courses was $945.00 pesos or about $90.00 USD. If you read some of my other reviews you'll note I'm not a cheapskate nor am I overly critical. It's just that I've had much better food for much less money in Vallarta. I probably won't go back and would only suggest it to someone for the view. Fir the price and the food I'd go to Mariscos Tino's in Punta Mita.

Have followed Adauto from Los Tulles and was not disappointed. They make you feel completely at home and the food is the best. The combo platter is enough for 2. Go once and you won't go to another restaurant in Bucerias.

Adauto's is more than a restaurant, with the best atmosphere and mostly...with Adauto! He is magnificent...we always recommend his place to everyone we meet, and no one is disappointed.

I had the prawns and they were over cooked. My wife had the shrimp enchiladas and they were OK but not worth what we paid. If you want great views and staff, this is the place. If you want quality, tasty food keep looking.

The best in Mexico; we'll always go back for the beautiful sunset, the great service and the very warm "owner's" welcome.
