🫤 The score of 4.9 is crazy. Probably done by paid reviewers. It is a rustic bar with 4 TV screens trying to show 4 different games at the same time. Commentaries overlap. No reception. No English speaking waiters. It is run by the same management as the Burrito Truck parked. alongside. Ambience is z...

👍 I was told this place was upscale Mexican food, but it was more Italian and eclectic. I almost left after ordering my drink as the place was dead and not what i expected or wanted food wise. I didn't want to be rude, so i ordered the salmon, which was fantastic, but the place is super expensive. Th...

👍👍 Went for lunch and to try the abalone tostada. I did not know anything about this place pior to today. It has a fairly big courtyard by Versalles standards with outdoor seating under a pergola. Wasn't busy at lunchtime, mind you it seems most Versalles places are for dinner. The abalone tostada was...

👍👍 Wonderful place to get Tortas Ahogadas. Primarily a Mexican clientele from my experience. The staff speaks a bit of English but come prepared to speak some Spanish. That being said, they were extremely kind and helpful! There's a longer menu but just get the Tortas Ahogadas with carnitas. And ask f...

👍👍 This was the starting spot of our Vallarta Food Tours evening taco tour. It’s a charming place with fast service. I didn’t have a cocktail but they looked delicious. I had a mahi mahi taco. It was a good size and lightly breaded and fried. I’d definitely return to try more on the menu.
