We love going to The Iguana for special occasions. It’s fun to see Elizabeth Taylor’s memorabilia. If walls could talk! The view from the bluff overlooking Puerto Vallarta is gorgeous. The drinks, salads and entree were superb. It was our priciest but best meal this week.

This is our favorite restaurant in PV. Delicious food, outstanding service, stunning view. Book an early dinner reservation and ask for the main restaurant. If you are a couple, there is a good chance you’ll get a two person table with the best view. Ask for Brandon to be your server. 10/10

Tintoque is reason enough to visit Puerto Vallarta. One of the best culinary experiences I’ve had in all of North America. Truly exceptional. The tasting menu and wine pairing were so thoughtfully constructed and the extraordinary servers and sommelier obviously cared about every detail. I will return to Vallarta for this experience alone.
