Perhaps there is no better destination to enjoy good food and drink, because Puerto Vallarta is a world famous gastronomic center, which focuses on the most excellent restaurants delights of Mexican and international cuisine, dishes that for their presentation, taste and aroma, are real art pieces.

It offers a varied cuisine, which emphasizes its aroma and flavor, where you can taste the typical Mexican and international cuisine such as French, Greek, Italian, Chinese, German, Japanese, etc.

One of the main products in the kitchen of this city is fish and seafood, with meals that are made as of crappie and octopus ceviche, fish dumplings or shrimp in tequila or pumpkin sauce, Other meals that we enjoy in Puerto Vallarta are the gorditas made of very thin tortillas and chips and decorated with chopped cabbage and sliced onion desflemada, or typical Mexican dishes.

And for dessert nothing better than to enjoy the posi, made with corn, sugar and tuna or “which” is made with dough, milk, sugar and ground coconut oil. But there are other desserts such as mango caramel or candies of milk and cocadas.

The typical drinks to highlight are the tuba and Tejuino or soft drinks such as coconut water, nance, jamaica and tamarind.

But the highlight is November during the International Gourmet Festival, which brings the best chefs from all five continents. The meeting serves to “feed” the proposals of the restaurants and encourage the creation of new dishes in the Vallarta’s kitchens.
