Where to get best lobster on Mexican Riviera cruise

IMHO there is no such thing as "best" lobster in Mexico :(. The lobster we get in Mexico is a type of spiny lobster found in warm waters. As a confirmed lobster addict I do not even consider this stuff real lobster (it is technically real). If you want good lobster you need lobster "Americaine" which is the species found in the Atlantic off New England and parts of Canada.

 

We do have quite a few restaurants in Puerto Vallarta that have lobster on their menu if you will settle for the warm weather stuff found in the region. We even have a restaurant called "The Happy Lobster" (La Langosta Feliz) which always has lobster and lots of other types of relatively fresh seafood :). In the Puerto Vallarta Romantic Zone (also known as the Old Town, Viejo Vallarta, or Southside) you can usually find decent regional lobster at La Palapa (located right on the beach) or the Blue Shrimp. We have never tried the lobster at either of those places so cannot give a recommendation. Perhaps Ine will see this post and have some better info . If you want to try the Happy Lobster it is easily accessible from the port via taxi or Uber.
