We had lunch here, and it was absolutely delicious. Every dish was unique, creative, and seasoned to perfection. The cocktails were also incredible. Every dish had the perfect balance of flavors, including just the right amount of spice. All to often i find myself wanting more heat in fine dining, not here. This was the best food I've had in Vallarta and we've already booked dinner. Edit: we had dinner here on a pre fixe menu and we were absolutely blown away. One of the best dining experiences of my life.
Fantastic! A culinary experience. The compliments of the chef were fantastic, such sweet delicacies. Truly a treat on our trip! Happened upon this place by mistake and was not disappointed, the cocktails are definitely an indulgence. Treat yourself and enjoy a culinary experience.
The portions were also very generous, surprisingly, not at all upset. Two people, two meals. I'm in love!
Incredible experience! We did the chef's taste testing including wine pairing. Absolutely amazing food (and presentation)! If you are cheap, this is not the place for you. If you want a fine dining experience with an incredible menu and experience, this is definitely the place for you. Hope to return each visit and see whats new by the chef. 5-star rating all around!
Tintoque is pretty close to getting a Michelin! Their food is always top notch. Everything is thought out, prepared to perfection, cocktails are wonderful. Service is always as good as it gets and the views on the patio are great. Don’t hesitate to book a lunch or dinner with Tintoque!
Best meal we had in Puerto Vallarta. The concept is very much centered around deconstructed Mexican cuisine. So whatever you think you’re ordering, it will look a lot different than what you’re used to seeing. It will taste better than most food you’ve ever had! I’m sure the menu changes periodically but we had the “empanadas” for a first course and the “enchiladas” for one of the entrees. I can’t remember what the other entree was but my plate was completely clean. The cocktails were excellent. The setting is airy, modern, and laid back. It doesn’t
matter if you ask a question to a runner, waiter, or manager, the staff is very passionate about what they put on the table and are so knowledgeable about their menu. I highly recommend eating here.
