Best place to get some fresh fruit and vegetables. Also a few stalls to get breakfast or lunch. Closes at 4. Tuesdays most places are closed.
My buddy Gustavo has this place that sells 'fresh fruit flavored waters' which are just awesome! Just ask around for 'aguas frescas'

Argentina Steak House
2468 Av. Francisco Medina AscencioExpensive but... tasty.
One of my favorite seafood places in Vallarta. Surprisingly cheap. I recommend the Ceviches or Aguachile. Best to get like 2 dishes and share. Order more if you are still hungry. The trick is to fill up on the 'tostadas' if you're on a budget.

Order:
An 'Arriero' 'con todo' 'maiz'

This is one of Vallartas.... sketchy neighborhoods but really... it's fine, this is a very busy street and so nothing will happen to you.
