Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Puerto Vallarta

Carlos and his assistant (wife) provided excellent service. The beet salad is a must, and the shrimp tostadas were excellent too. Overall, good food and even better service!.

A must! Best flavors and staff - I will be back again.

Absolutely perfect! Unbelievable service! Great food! I highly recommend upgrading to the garden experience. You can either order the fixed price menu, or à la cart. But you just have to guarantee you will spend a certain amount per person. The Garden experience was well worth it, especially if you think you’re already going to spend a decent amount of money on food and drinks. Nobody does birthdays better than Cafe des Artistes! Super wonderful experience in Puerto Vallarta!

Tintoque has very flavorful and interesting food. I would highly recommend this place for foodies. We sat on the back patio, which overlooks a dry river bed (it could be wet during the rainy season). The patio is nicely done and comfortable. Even though it was a cool night, there was an oscillating fan running, which was a little loud and distracting, but otherwise, the patio was very nice. Our wait staff was very attentive. We started with margaritas and then ordered a bottle of Italian wine. The wine list is extensive, and more expensive than expected, which seems typical for Mexico. The best part was the food! They brought a nice muse bouch. There were two of us, and we ordered two items for sharing and then two entrees. All courses were very generous and we could have shared fewer items. The dishes were very creative and well-presented. We highlight recommend this place.

Overall, Parottfish is a beautiful restaurant, with an open kitchen and additionally, a lovely garden area. I had two negatives….could have done without the big screen TV’s with sport (does not really fit the elegant interior) and the music was quite loud. That said, our server, Frida, was lovely. We had the duck tacos and serrantino roll, and both were delicious. There were several other dishes we would have tried….the menu is varied but more on the sushi, sashimi side. It was a birthday celebration, and we were treated to tempura Oreos with vanilla ice cream, a dessert that we would never have ordered. But would definitely order in the future. We also ordered the chocolate, caramel, orange cake, which was good but would not repeat. The photos are of the desserts. We will be back. Our meal with drinks and tip was $64 USD for the two of us.
