Description: The Cheeseburger in Paradise in Puerto Vallarta seemed a little out of place. Hawaiian décor in Mexico? My husband and I were walking along the Malecon and I saw the sign from across the street. I couldn’t believe it! I had eaten at the one in Maui and told my husband we just had to go in there. It was an extremely muggy day in PV and after an hour of walking up and down the Malecon, C in P was the perfect place to get a cold drink.
We walked up the stairs into the restaurant and sat at the large bar in the back. It was only 2pm, so the place was fairly empty, too late for lunch and too early for dinner. It was also Sunday and the bartender made a valiant effort to find a Mexico TV station showing the Broncos game. All he could find was the St. Louis Rams. Good enough, although it was amusing to hear the game announced in Spanish.
We each guzzled two bottles of water before we could order a beer. Their bottled water came in specially marked plastic bottles with a Cheeseburger in Paradise label (I tried to keep an empty for a souvenir, but the maid at our resort threw it out with the trash). My husband and I split one of their famous cheeseburgers. It was good, but nothing special. A couple from Wisconsin also trying to avoid the humidity sat near us and we chatted about football. Like the original restaurant in Maui, it’s above the street so you can watch all the people going by.
All in all a laid back, enjoyable experience. I found out there’s a third Cheeseburger in Paradise in Las Vegas, so now I’m going to have to go there and then I can say I ate at all three!
