Restaurants near Marival Residences Luxury Resort Nuevo Vallarta

Our first time to Sonora Prime. The food and service were outstanding. Family of nine handled with kindness and detail.

Hamburger was excellent. Fillet mignon was a bit tough, some vegetables were not cooked at all (cauliflower) even though they were supposed to be roasted or were half cooked (potatoes). The mescalized flan and passionfruit cheesecake desserts were both outstanding. Beers were just extraordinary—IPA and stout. Music was a bit too loud for our taste but ambience was really fun. The service was 10+++. Be sure to make a reservation.

This is one of my favorite restaurants to go to every time I’m in Vallarta. Maybe the staff was flustered when we arrived, but the service in the beginning was not the best… However, they did manage to turn it around and we had a great experience. All the food was amazing, although not too warm this time. I personally love the Nigiri, the fried rice, rice crispy cakes, and pretty much anything we order is usually very good. For dessert I highly recommend the banana pie which unfortunately they ran out of last night but the Dulce de Leche lava cake was amazing. 

Food was overall good. Other than one pasta dish that was a bit on the bland side, everything else was delicious. The restaurant seemed to be understaffed so wait time on food seemed long. Our waiter Ivan was great and did the best he could, but seemed to be the only waiter for all of the tables. Everyone else on the floor were runners and did not take orders. I was a little disappointed that the restaurant did not acknowledge on my reservation that the occasion was to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. We decided to skip dessert due to the extended wait time.

Fantastic food and service. Great ambience and a beautiful location.
