Cafe Roma is a great place to people watch, or to go for some really reasonably priced and good food. The second floor location looks out over the Rio Cuale very close to the Mercado Municipal, so It's a great spot to take a break from shopping and drink a cold one. Their beer is always ice cold, and they... more

Fox is there to say hello and make you feel at home when you arrive. The drinks and food are the best. His tokilllya ha ha. starts you off to a great start. It is made for his place and it is smooth. The wings are awesome, pizza is the best. This is a place you want to go back... more

We spent several days at Roma's on the last trip and had a great time. The staff is wonderful, the atmosphere is good, and the wings are really great (I watched them make them -- they are double-fried and made from scratch). Although I don't sing karaoke night is a fun night to go to Roma's. There is a lot... more

My wife and I have been to P.V. twice and now go back every year. Cafe Roma was an unexpected treasure to find. The waiters are awesome, Fox (the owner) makes everyone feel welcome. The food is good and the restaurant is clean. If your looking for a fancy, stuffy,snooty place this is not it. We go there almost daily... more

We like Cafe Roma, and have been dropping in for the good food and drink during each of our Vallarta stays for several years now. To us, it's a small restaurant/bar with a causal and very friendly neighbourhood 'feel'. We like to refer to Cafe Roma as a 'friend' of ours!! Fox & Cheryl are the owners/hosts, and they serve... more

This is a delayed review, as my husband and I actually dined at Cafe Roma back in June. However, we just booked our next trip to PV this afternoon and so it inspired me to revisit Trip Advisor and add some photos to my profile and some commentary on some of our favorite places to eat. Cafe Roma was definitely... more

We went due to the great reviews. But we will not be back! We went on Karaoke night, which would have been fine but it was SO loud. Also the only people participating were the staff. They had a captive audience---literally. The waitstaff were kind and helpful with special orders, but the food was expensive and mediocre. Salads, pastas, pizza----all... more

Too bad you visited on Karaoke night and I am sorry we could not turn down the music to accommodate you as you requested. I am also sorry that we did not have seating available further back from the performers due to us being very full as it would have been more comfortable. To say that only the staff sang...

We were very pleased to find Cafe Roma. This was our first visit but have been to Puerto Vallarta many times. From the time that we entered the doorway until we left, we had a great experience. Sr Fox, his wife and staff treat you like friends. We felt very welcome. We called home on his phone and our family... more

I really don't even know where to begin. Imagine you are in a strip mall in Arkansas. That about sums up the atmosphere. Sharpie graffiti on the walls, college football flags lead to the bathroom (which are clean, I'll give 'em that), and the crowd... Well, the crowd is what you would find in said strip mall. Minus a few... more

I so sorry you did not like our fun little place and our older clientele. If you recall, I did keep the kitchen open for you despite the fact you came in after our normal closing time. I take exception to you calling our pizza frozen. Each pizza is made fresh from scratch and those funny looking mushrooms are fresh...

Great place for the Canucks to hang out. Senor Fox is from Winnipeg. They make you feel comfortable as soon as you enter the establishment. If we would have had more time we would have made another trip back for drinks! more
