La Tienda Grande
Price: Very Expensive•Contemporary Mexican•4.7(40)Coming Soon!
Located in the old big store of the town, the restaurant was born.
La Tienda Grande was simmered as a tribute to the women who made me a cook, to my mother, my 4 grandmothers, aunts, friends and those ladies I have met in life and have inspired me; I will base the menu on the dishes that I have tried and that are still in my memory, they will be interpreted in my own way; my team and I will make creative Mexican cuisine.
And to all this, who am I?
I'm a cook and that´s all.
When an idea is born, the rest of the things go to the background, I don't want to be the protagonist of something that has essence on its own.

$300 MXNBonito Kitchen & Bar, Zona Romántica
Price: Expensive•Asian•4.7(91)We’re a casual and cozy restaurant serving up Asian small plates—from fun improvisations on that theme to faithful renditions of classic dishes that we love. We love the name “bonito” because it’s both the Spanish word for “beautiful” and the name of one of the most important fish in Japanese cuisine. Thus, it’s the perfect name for a restaurant that seeks to explore the shared traits in the cuisines of Vallarta and Vietnam, delving into our mutual love for funk, citrusy brightness, and carefully calibrated spice.
This location is in Zona Romántica right next to the beautiful 200-year-old Banyan Tree. Comfortable air-conditioned dining room and a gorgeous outdoor garden provide the perfect setting for all occasions.
Our most popular items are ramen, pho, pork belly bao, soft-shell crab bao, coconut shrimp rolls, summer rolls, green papaya salad, potstickers, lobster dumplings, pork belly dumplings, teriyaki salmon, Korean BBQ beef, and green curry.
