We have been going here every year since it opened. It's on the river so we always splash on some bug spray because we have been bitten by mosquitos at the tables closer to the water. Love the outdoor vibe of the restaurant. The fajitas are really great. One note.....they have two types....one on a sizzling cast iron skillet and... More

My family ate here after finding that El Dinamita was closed on Monday nights. We had great service in a casual environment. They were friendly and efficient and had a high chair for our 18 month old. The food was pretty good. Prices are a little high for the caliber of food, in my opinion, but still a nice evening...

Open air restaurant on the river. There is a water view, but the view is not that scenic. However, this is a beautiful restaurant, with great design and landscaping. Very good food. Large portions. Free chips and salsa. Free mini-appetizer (cucumber and yucca slices topped with crushed pepper). Crowded in-season. I was here at the end of the season --... More

I LOVE fajita repiblic. The food is high in quality, but comparable in price to other restaurants in the area. You must try the mayan cheese sticks. They are essentially mozzarella sticks, but are deep fried in a green sauce and served with fajita fixings. The fajitas are to die for. I love the rustic, neat atmosphere. It's by far... More

We found the experience to be unfriendly and the food was average. There are much better places in the area that offer better atmosphere, better service, and certainly better food.If you are only in the area for a short time, pass on this place !!

Nice place to enjoy a meal. I was so happy that we got to eat there twice during our stay. Funny that our group of 5 all ordered the same meal both times because it was so good. Take a nice stroll there to help burn off those calories. :) Margarita's on the rocks are VERY strong.

Great fajitas at a reasonable price. May need reservations during winter season! Located on the water, you may want to ask for mosquito spray if it is very humid.

I think it suffers from the many nicer choices available in Nuevo. Food and service are fine but being on the canal seems to be more rustico than their place right on Basilio Badillo.

We eat at Fajita Republic every time we visit Puerto or Nuevo Vallarta. You can count on good service, good food and fair prices. Their restaurant in Puerto Vallarta is equally as good. However, we don't recommend their lobster since it seems to always come out over cooked and rubbery.

If your in the area this is were you want to eat. Food is great. And the price is right. I send all my groups there and never had a problem. They have on in Vallarta also. You will not be disapointed with the place. Chicken or Steak Bandera is my favorite.. If you like spice ask for the homemade... More
