When in PV, you have to check them out. Marina and Sugar made me feel like family. They are my new sisters in PV! The food was amazing. I had fried fish, Mac n cheese and veggies. And a nice cocktail. Great prices and portions. The restaurant is a good place to find community to feee your soul as well as your tummy. Run to Brooklyn Cafe!

Good Dog Friendly (must be very well behaved) Today's special was deep-fried fish tacos, covered in homemade slaw. The owner was a wonderful woman. She has lived down here for 4 years and opened up the restaurant 3 years ago. And what a wonderful place. The writing on the wall tells you that. Omg the fish was fried to perfection, the weight of a feather is heavier than the batter and fish. Amazing..a must try when on the menu. I hear its a party on Friday nights. GO!

Brooklyn Cafe & Bar is a small space but they are serving up some big flavor. I say hands down that these chicken wings are some of the best in Vallarta. The main reason is the consistency, and each time you go, your meal will be just as good as if not better than your last visit. This is also the type of place you walk into, not knowing a soul and walk out having met potential new friends.

Went here today with a group of friends for lunch. Everyone loved their food, really fresh and made with care. They have cocktails too. We had a few different items, brunch egg dishes and fish and smoothies. Salads were amazing. There's seating for over 25 people. Very close to the beach. Definitely recommend.

My travel companion & I came in on a Saturday afternoon during our week long stay in PVR. It is a quick, 7-10min taxi ride from the Romantic Zone depending on where you start. The ambience is cozy, and pays homage to owner’s roots in Bedstuy—Bedford Stuyvesant for the uninitiated. Good: - The wings are AMAZING 10/10. The absolute best that I’ve ever had for Vallarta—& gives a number of soul food places back in the US a run for their money. - The Lemon/Blueberry pancakes were incredible. The blueberries were fresh, and quite literally bursting with juices and flavor with each bite. The menu is dotted with entrees @ sides that are staples on the African American community and will mesmerize any palate. If you come on the weekend, treat yourself to bottom mimosas-there are at least five different flavors. Bad: Nothing! No upgrades, no notes.

Return trip two years later, still awesome and friendly. Great breakfast! This is a great place to find and spend an hour. Reesi was born to be a host and her personality makes the cafe a fun event. Had a good little breakfast, very tasty bacon, coffee, and OJ. I’ve never been to Brooklyn but think this has the feel of it

Everything was great from the beginning to end. Attentive service, tasty food and nice air conditioned atmosphere. Don't forget to sign the wall.

After I got my hair done next door, I went to grab some late lunch and wow, this place is amazing! Had the chicken wings and corn on the cob and it was the best I ever had. The owner and cook are fabulous and thank you for a great conversation! I will be back!
