A Burger and Fries in Puerto Vallarta
*Dicks Halfway Inn Bar and Grill at Basilio Badillo 287 in Old Town offers several different hamburgers. The Deluxe is pretty much a bacon cheeseburger; the Jack Daniels is basted with bourbon barbecue sauce; and the Swiss Mushroom Burger . . . you guessed right it features Swiss cheese, mushrooms and caramelized onions. If youre dining with others, you can reassure them that Dicks is more than just a pretty burger. The menu includes a wide variety of tapas (starters) and formal entrees, as well as other sandwiches. The place gets generally positive reviews, in part because the beverages are reasonably priced.*Mama Dolores Diner is another popular spot to grab a bite of American food, and theres more good news about this spot if you dont want a burger, you can get liver and onions, instead. Yummy! As an alternative, try the fajitas or the vegetarian lasagne. Mama says you need to eat your veggies if you want dessert, but odds are, shell give in and bring you a flan if you whine enough. Mama takes vacation every now and again, so its a good idea to check if her doors are open before you set your heart on one of her meals. Youll find Mama Dolores in the Zona Romantica at Olas Altas 534B.
*Steves Sports Bar and Grill is an honest-to-goodness, all-American sports bar that promises NASCAR racing every weekend. American Legion Post 14 meets here the third Thursday of the month. Its almost like being home - and you might want to ask yourself if thats really why you came to Puerto Vallarta. If you say yes, well, come on in and order something with fries. Youll find Steves very near to Dicks at Basilio Badillo 286; its possible that they know each other. Do what you have to do to make your Luxury Villa Rental Puerto Vallarta seem like home away from home. If that means a burger and a Bud at one of the local restaurants, so be it. Just be prepared to explain to folks back home how you spent your Mexican vacation.
