    It’s a tradition for us to dine at La Palapa when we visit Puerto Vallarta. It’s a beautiful restaurant with an outstanding outdoor ambiance. The food is always top notch and the service is so friendly and welcoming. My husband and I shared the special appetizer which was shrimp in a tarragon garlic sauce. Excellent! We both had the salmon which was prepared in a tomato based sauce that is so good. Salmon was cooked perfectly. They don’t rush you but instead invite you to take your time. Highly recommend!
