This beloved restaurant is a true haven for seafood lovers, where fresh, locally-sourced ingredients meet expert preparation to create memorable meals bursting with flavor.

The menu at Santos Mariscos is a treasure trove of coastal delights, ranging from hearty Seafood Casseroles and fiery Camarones A la Diabla to the indulgently large Camarones Gigantes. Every dish sings with the ocean’s bounty — think succulent crab in the Crab Cocktail, delicate and flaky Seabass, and the vibrant, tangy Fish Ceviche. The Tacos de Jaiba and Tostadas de Marlin showcase authentic Mexican seafood street fare, while specialties like Filete de Pescado Arriero and Pescado Al Mojo de Ajo Con Cerveza add refined touches to classic recipes.

    First time in PV and first restaurant. Was headed to a place I found that was rated high but our Uber driver recommended this place and oh my, I'm so glad! Immediately we knew that we were in the right place. Excellent service with patience and care. The menu was a little difficult to read but if you like seafood, this spot has a wonderful array. The drinks were strong too! Even got a shot of tequila on the house Amazing food, people and service.

    This is one of the best seafood restaurants I’ve ever been to. The food was amazing and the service was perfect. We ordered so much food for the family and everything came out great. Even our picky eaters who don’t usually eat seafood loved it. Not to mention their ice cream was a big hit. All around would def recommend this place and if we come back to Puerto Vallarta we are hitting this place twice!

    What an excellent place to have a meal. The seafood here was outstanding. Started with the empanadas as an appetizer which were so good and not at all greasy with a lot of fresh shrimp. Had their casserole (spicy version) which had excellent flavors, good quantity of shrimp in it. Bordered on the edge of too much heat but a little sweat was welcome. Excellent attentive service-Open air but with fans, very pleasant. Will dine here again!

    My husband and I had an amazing dinner here for our final night in Puerto Vallarta! Our waiter Leo took the BEST care of us! He showed us all the fresh seafood for the day and created a delicious platter for us. Everything tasted super fresh! This place feels super local and relaxed which we love. Leo is a gem! He offered to take photos of us and took very good care of everyone else in the restaurant too!

    We found this family run "gem" thanks to the concierge at Villa del Palmar PV. Great food and service! at a very reasonable price. Octopus ceviche & grilled octopus was fresh and amazing flavour and i have experienced octopus in several places around the world. Leo is a fantastic host!
