Yeah, it's a tourist trap, but it's a tourist trap with great views and dollar margaritas, so who cares? It was a hot afternoon on the Malecon and I was thirsty, and Cheeky Monkey really hit the spot. It was a great place for people-watching. The dollar margaritas are OK, but they have a number of other margaritas and different... More

Desperately in need of a cold drink on a hot afternoon, we were tempted by the Cheeky Monkey's offers of $1 beer and margaritas. To go along with the drinks was an incredible 2nd or 3rd floor verandah view overlooking the malecon (2nd floor nonsmoking, third floor smoking). Our quick stop for a drink soon turned into an evening affair... More

We went here twice in our 2 night stay. Excellent! I swear we sat there for a few hours had apps and drinks and drinks and our bill was close to $10. Crazy. The perfect place to watch a Vallarta sunset - which happened around 830/845 pm somehow when we were there this last weekend. It was light out till... More

When traveling to Puerto Vallarta and walking the Malecon boardwalk, be sure to stop by the Cheeky Monkey for a beer or margarita. Both are offered at just $1.00 and is a full size beer not a cornita size. The margarita's are served in full size glasses and are NOT watered down. Located in the heart of the Malacon boardwalk...

We probably would never have stopped at this place except that we were told it was $1 margarita day. So who could pass this up? We enjoyed the view sitting above the Malecon where there were no beach vendors. Our waiter, Christobon, was great. Very personable and he shared a lot of his knowledge about PV where he was born...

When my husband and I visited Puerto Vallarta earlier this year, this was probably one of our favorite spots when we wanted some good ol' American cheeseburgers. The drinks are CHEAP, it's right on the Malecon strip overlooking the ocean, and the burgers hit the spot. I really wish I had a Cheeky Monkey t-shirt right now. I would rock... More

Enjoyed a drink and supper while enjoying the view of the pre sunset skies over Banderas Bay. Service was good as well as the food.
