Tintoque seeks to be a cultural link that expresses the gastronomic journey of the passage of the years in the bay, finding flavors and elements that mark each stage in the history of Puerto Vallarta.

Here a different proposal of creative cuisine is presented based on the essence of regional recipes and ingredients, with the best product offered by the Mexican Pacific, materialized with the influence of the kitchens and trips that have marked the life of the Vallarta Chef Joel Ornelas; who transmits a signature cuisine that manages to be a true gastronomic experience for lovers of good food and all those who seek to refine their palate with unique experiences.

The Culinaria Mexicana publishing house has awarded Tintoque for the third consecutive year as one of the 120 best restaurants in Mexico in its "Guide Mexico Gastronomico 2020".

    Went for brunch on Sunday. Overall great experience. Food was good, service is always excellent. Music was a little too loud and energetic for a Sunday morning.

    Very nice servers. Lovely presentation of the meals. The snapper was very fresh and prepared well. But the star of the meal was the flan. The most memorable and delicious variety I’ve ever had.

    We went to Tintoque looking to have an excellent meal to celebrate our anniversary. Tintoque did not deliver. Reviews and the restaurant website promote the restaurant as an exceptional dining experience with prices that reflect that. Our expectations were sky high going in but the food experience never took flight. I appreciate that a restaurant needs to make a profit and that marking up wine prices is generally one way to do this. The mark ups at Tintoque are among the highest I have seen. Most reviews mention how flavorful the dishes are but frankly I was underwhelmed. What we ordered off the ala carte menu was quite non-descript and bland. The restaurant and location are very nice as are the wait staff but this certainly doesn’t justify high prices when delivering a meh food when priced and promoted as exceptional.

    Simply one of the best dining experiences I have had in Mexico. Service was unbelievable. Food was inventive, delicious, and served with care. Eating out on the outdoor veranda was an amazing, calming and delightful experience on a seasonably warm night. Varied wine list and top notch cocktails. Appreciated the local purveyors mixed with others. Had no idea what we were in for when we pulled up in front of the unassuming front entrance.
