Daiquiri Dick's Review

A Vallarta dining institution, Daiquiri Dick's has been around for 3 decades, evolving its winning combination of decor, service, and scrumptious cuisine. The name belies the casual beachfront elegance of this popular restaurant, and the genuinely warm staff and open-air location fronting Los Muertos Beach add to the experience. As lovely as the restaurant is, though, the food is the main attraction, incorporating Mediterranean and pan-Asian influences. Start with lemon grass-scented gazpacho or an order of lobster tacos. For main courses, my favorites are giant grilled prawns in a chimichuri marinade, rib-eye steak served medium, and whole grilled snapper. For something lighter, the salmon niçoise salad hits the mark. Chocolate banana-bread pudding makes a perfect finish. It may come as no surprise that the flavored daiquiris are dangerous and delicious. Daiquiri Dick's is a great place for groups as well as for a romantic night out. It's one of the few places that is equally enjoyable for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
