Puerto Vallarta, the coastal Mexican joint that occupied a corner lot at 75 South Federal Boulevard for as long there's been shrimp in the sea (okay, that's a slight exaggeration) is now bordered up with blond wood.

At Puerto Vallarta, the menu is a catchall of seafood, traditional Mexican dishes and buckets of cold cerveza.
