Disappointing dinner—slow service, redundant dishes, inflated bill. Not worth the price or time.

Makal continued to be amazing. This visit we did the 10 course tasting menu. Each course was thoughtfully prepared and presented and had flavors large and subtle. Makal remains our favorite higher end restaurant in Puerto Vallarta.

An outstanding restaurant. Did the seven course meal with my guest. The food was cooked perfectly, a good balance in flavors, just well executed all around. I strongly recommend this to anybody coming to Puerto Vallarta to taste high end of classic Mexican cuisine

Amazing experience with unique and interesting food that highlighted local ingredients and techniques. I would recommend the cocktail pairing menu; it sounds like it would be a lot of drinks, but it's actually a reasonable amount and they're all quite tasty
