    Whst a great experience. We live in a country known for exceptional high quality food and was blown away tonight. Clear roots in Mexican food but with a very strong twist. If you are in for fine cuisine this place place must be on you list. Fantastic service albeit a bit fast as usual in Mexico.

    Came here after our wedding. So glad we picked this place. Perfect, unique and special experience. One of the best meals we have had (not just in Mexico- anywhere). Recommend the tasting menu.

    This was my second time at Tintoque. The first experience, about 2 years ago, was excellent, so I was happy to return. This experience, however, was a very different story. To say that the food and service have gone downhill would be an understatement. The menu, once robust with many choices, is now limited to just 5 entree choices. The only “meat” dish is a hamburger topped with foie gras (and one of my friends ordered it and it was basically no better than a typical overcooked fast food burger. My fish was overcooked, dry, under seasoned, and otherwise tasteless On their a la carte menu, the offer selections for 4 courses: first, second, main, and dessert. Unfortunately, the second course was delivered with the mains. When I pointed this out to the waiter (and sent it back), he became very unpleasant. He didn’t apologize for his error. Worse yet, he never came back to the table to check on us or to see how we were enjoying our food. Similarly, he either never alerted a manager to our problem or if he did, the manager couldn’t be bothered to come over and apologize or speak with us. And on a final note, while the wine list is fairly extensive, that’s very misleading and deceptive as many of the selections were simply not available. There are so many amazing restaurants in Puerto Vallarta, including many at this fairly steep price point. Unfortunately, this one is no longer worth the price due to poor food and poor service. Indeed, I’m not sure that it would be worth visiting at any price.

    Très belle table à puerto Vallarta! Excellent services et le soucis du détails est impressionnant. La nourriture est excellente, le poulet frit en entrée est absolument d’une autre dimension. Wow 5 étoiles . Le banana split Tintoque est surréaliste et la présentation est digne d’un dessert D’Alice aux pays des merveilles. Merci à toute l’équipe .
