Gluten Lips and I are in Puerto Vallarta for business so we have some new restaurants to check out! Our first stop was Fajita Republic in Nuevo Vallarta. After a long day of traveling we were tired and hungry. We grabbed a couple of excellent (but strong!) margs and two entrees. I chose the shrimp fajitas while GL had the steak and fries. 

They brought out free chips and salsa to start which are some of the best chips and salsa we’ve had in PVR. 

They add tequila to the fajita plate when it comes out and light it on fire which makes for a fun tableside experience. The fajitas were exactly what the doctor ordered and so juicy and flavorful. I absolutely love Mexican food and this was exceptional.

GL loved his steak and said it tasted so much better than our steaks at home. It was juicy and not overdone. 

Everything was easily gluten and dairy free when we asked. 

We went for a walk on the beach after and saw a huge sea turtle (they are laying eggs this time of year). 

Overall an incredible meal at Fajita Republic Nuevo Vallarta and we would highly recommend this restaurant! A note that we made a reso but didn’t need it, however during busy periods like Christmas you will definitely need a reservation.

Update – we went back to Fajita Republic Nuevo Vallarta a second time and the service and food was exceptional again. I had the mahi-mahi fish special cooked in foil which was packed with flavour and had lots of nice veggies and a side of Mexican rice. GL had a chicken dish that might look a little odd, but was moist, unique and satisfying. Definitely check this restaurant out!
