The Happy Lobster, Seafood restaurant in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

The Happy Lobster is a seafood restaurant in Puerto Vallarta featuring a rooftop dining area with views of the mountains and a large lobster decoration hanging from the building's exterior. The establishment serves fresh seafood daily from noon to 10 PM.

This family-owned restaurant was founded in 2008 and has built its reputation through local word-of-mouth recommendations. In 2019, it received a Certificate of Excellence from Tripadvisor.

Local musicians including mariachi bands and trios perform traditional Mexican music during evening hours while you dine. This live music tradition is woven into the dining experience and connects guests with the area's performing artists.

The restaurant is situated in the Lazaro Cardenas neighborhood and is easy to spot thanks to the large lobster decoration on its exterior. The rooftop dining area offers a good viewing vantage point for watching the surrounding area.

A black pig lives near the restaurant and provides unexpected entertainment for guests, especially children watching its daily behavior. Many visitors are pleasantly surprised by this quirky addition to their dining experience.
