Take their recommendations. Trust me. Tell them what you like and let them go with it. Made great suggestions and had amazing service. Tried to go twice but they were closed on Monday..... oh well.

This restaurant is in front of Fajita Republic, another favorite that we frequent. Last night we treated ourselves to El Dinamita, which has the same owner as FR. We had a great time and Alex, the head waiter and his staff took great care of the five of us. We were greeted at the door by Alex who explained the... More

Went here with my girlfriend on the first evening of our vacation, after reading the reviews here on TA. I can see where the good ratings come from, it really is a great atmosphere: rustic tables outside on a patio under big trees, a mariachi playing, dim lights, it really gives you that 'vacation' feeling. The service is very geared... More

El Dinamita was the first restaurant we went to on our 5 night stay in Nuevo Vallarta, and the last. One visit was just not enough. Our group of 4 women loved everything about this place. Service, ambience and food were excellent!!!! Thank you Alex and staff for 2 incredible evenings.

This is a great find in NV! This is a small, quaint outdoor restaurant that offers superb fresh foods at a great price! Gorge, the owner, selects fresh fish daily-if it is not fresh, it's not on his menu! The menu is great and if you just can't make up your mind what to choose, Gorge will cook for you!... More

Found this place through TA in 2012. Couldn't wait to go back in 2013. The owners offered something new this year when they found out we were going out on a fishing excursion. Bring the fish you caught to us & we'll cook it for you for dinner. Wow! A very special restaurant. Don't miss it!

This was my 7th trip to Mexico. This was the best dinner I have had in Mexico. We are with a group of 14 people ages 6-64...we absolutely loved dinner. George asked us our likes and dislike. We were amazed. We loved it so much we came back a second time two nights later. Dishes kept coming out one after... More
