This restaurant is wonderful. One of thee most memorable dinning experiences I’ve had. My fiancé and I were seated in the best table of the restaurant, right in front of the lovers bridge with a perfect view of the city and a most gorgeous sunset falling on the ocean. Our server Raul was informative and extremely attentive, he made us feel special with his service. It was such a treat to be eating in Elizabeth Taylor’s former home, the home was beautiful! The food was delicious and the music was extremely romantic. We also had a pleasant surprise of a mariachi band playing at the restaurant (one of the best mariachi’s I’ve heard). We are looking forward to having this experience again in the future. Gracias Raul!

The service was excellent, and the food was enjoyable overall. However, the pasta with clams fell short as the clams seemed slightly past their prime. On a brighter note, the drinks from the bar were fantastic.

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.

The food at this restaurant is not to be missed. If you are a fan of La Tienda Grande in Ixtpapa you will enjoy this menu as it was created by the same chef. They are still working on training their team, so be patient with them. If you are looking for unique food in Nuevo Vallarta please check out La Lupee. In our group, we ordered ribs, pear and blue cheese tortellini, salmon, carbonara pasta, calamari, house salad, humous and carpaccio. Everything was amazing!
