One of my favorite restaurants in PV. Went here for my birthday and it was fantastic. Julio was my server provided 5 star service and attention to our group. We will be back! read more

We were visiting Puerto Vallarta and stopped in this restaurant they have a nice atmosphere, outdoor dining, and good drinks. Mango Pasión margarita is the best. However, the service was la very slow and the waiter barely come to checking on us. I guess we went to different restaurants and the service was top notch. Maybe they were very busy that night. read more

First time here and loved it. nice atmosphere. Our server Julio was attentive and provided great quick service. read more

I've seen this place for a while and it's always been quiet. Decided to give it a try, and we were VERY happy we did, the service was great, grilled chicken perfectly cooked (juicy) on the fire, vegetables were cooked to perfection. Great wine and cocktail selection. We will be back! Thanks for a wonderful experience. read more

We have been walking by this place all week and it looked so inviting so we finally stopped for dinner. What a FIND! The outdoor covered dining area makes you feel like you are not in a sea of restaurants...which you are. It had this old world feel with the type of chairs and tables. We ordered the Ribeye chicharrones and calamari for starters and they were outstanding. The ribeye chicharrones were crispy and charred on the outside but still nice and tender. It comes with blue corn tortillas so you can make yourself mini tacos. The accoutrements of bone marrow, salsa, rock salt, guacamole and pick de gallo were all on point to make the best little ribeye tacos. The calamari was fried to perfection. They were nice and crispy and tender. For our entrees, the wife and I shared the Red Snapper zarandeodo style. It was the best fish I have ever had hands down. If you didn't know, this place uses only wood to cook the food. No gas or flat top. This makes a huge difference in my opinion. The boys each had burgers and said they were they best they have had. Cooked to perfection. Lastly, order the Mexican Coffee. This is an after dinner coffee with some liquor. The presentation is worth the price alone. We will be having our closing ceremonies on our last night here. I can't wait to come back. read more

The food is amazing, the service excellent and the drinks delicious, Julio was our waiter and he was an amazing host. read more

Food was great! The music was horrific, we felt like we were at a gay disco bar throughout dinner. If you can stand that then you are ok. Not appreciate music for this kind of dinner and wanted a relaxing evening so was a bit hard to have with the boom boom of music in the background but the food was fantastic so we tried to over look that best we could. Service was a bit slow. But again food great. read more

Food was ok. Too many bugs in outdoor dining area. Wait for food and check was long when we came around noon on a Tuesday read more

De Cantaro - Octopus tacos and the traditional Mexican platter. Octopus was over cooked and tough. - Steakhouses Near Me - Puerto Vallarta, JAL

I have been coming to Puerto Vallarta for many years now and about 5 years ago, my partner and I were looking for a cafe with coffee and maybe a snack. Well, Vallarta Cigar, Chocolate, and Coffee Factory (now called Vallarta Factory) won us over. We kind of settled into a routine of stopping by whenever we were in town to have a meal, which was always superb. Anyway, we were back at Vallarta Factory to have a cappuccino and lunch. Marcia, the owner was there and before leaving we said our hellos and again told her what a delicious meal we had. She then informed us of her new restaurant De Cantaro in the Romantic Zone. Marcia scored with this restaurant. We had a lovely meal of Mahi Mahi (not my favorite fish) wrapped in banana leaves and it was yummy. I loved their Caesar salad with avocado. The ambience was great and Marcia made time to talk to us and make us feel welcomed. read more

Food was pretty good. Enjoyed the Caesar salad. Carne Assada was good. Wine list is very limited and prices are ridiculous. House wine was ok just order a glass. Waiter was very nice. Not returning. read more

Excellent burger and fries; by far best in PV.. more optional toppings like different cheese and or bacon etc would make this burger best in North America. Was a little slow getting to the table but well worth the wait.. read more

My wife had the Shrimp Tacos... I had the Mexican Platter. She was happy, but I was amazed. A real variety of flavors and textures, just an amazing dinner. Skipped my usual Negro Modelo and celebrated with a couple Margaritas.... read more

The food was incredible and the service was even better. Would recommend this place a hundred times over. La comida estuvo increíble y el servicio más aún. Recomendaría este sitio un millón de veces. read more

I really like the service here. That's what made me want to come inside. A lot of choices for places to eat in this neighborhood, but I do advise stopping here :). The stuffed bell pepper appetizer was great, so was the red wine. Ordered Rib eye with creamed spinach with mushrooms. Delicious and thanks read more

This place is delicious! Highly recommend the chilaquiles w pollo. One of the more tastier breakfast/brunch we had while in Zona Romantica.

Unbelievable food and what a great atmosphere. Service was exceptional and the variety of food options was amazing. Black truffles in Mexico with tomahawk ribeye is a huge surprise. I had the tomahawk pork chop and it was fork tender with the most amazing sauce. cannot recommend this place enough. will be back for sure. read more

De Cantaro - Tomahawk pork chop. Pretty to look at with amazing flavor. - Steakhouses Near Me - Puerto Vallarta, JAL

Outstanding meal and service! Our waiter, Julio was the best! We were drawn in by the inviting smell of wood smoke. The menu offers a variety of meals I don't often find in PV. (steaks, bbq ribs, chicken, fish) generous portions at reasonable price. read more

Great food & great service from Julio! Love it, highly recommend for a great time, nice ambiance and excellent food! read more

De Cantaro - Outdoor dining area & bar. - Steakhouses Near Me - Puerto Vallarta, JAL

Just had one of the best breakfasts in all of PV! Service was also great. I highly recommend this spot! Get the chilaquiles and the Machaca

This was our sixth visit to PV and our first to De Cantaro. We were seeking an "off-the-main-road" restaurant and just walked in. The curb appeal was good, and the fragrances were pleasant. "Jime" greeted us and we told him what food experience we wanted. We had a variety of dishes and all were great to exceptional. So, when visiting Old Town (Romance District), wonder into De Cantaro. We enjoyed our visit. read more

Delightful setting (off the road) and authentically friendly service from every staff member. I felt they felt glad we were there. Cerviche exquisite. Guacamole superb. Big lime pieces with the bottled water! Restrooms fun, tidy, clean, and with candles - in the daytime! Priced surprisingly low given the location and ambience. I would have paid more. A refreshing experience in the middle of Zona Romantica. read more

Excellent food in beautiful atmosphere... come for dinner! Everything is by candlelight and there's soft music love. Such a romantic dinner to celebrate my husbands birthday. FYI- shrimp has heads/shells on it... but amazing! Try the cambert potatoes!! Delicisioso! read more

De Cantaro - Steakhouses Near Me - Puerto Vallarta, JAL

De Cantaro is notable for good seafood, meats, and appetizers. Menus come in English if necessary. Service is quick. Reservations probably required. Nice ambience, space for large parties. Hickory wood brings tears to the eyes up close and tears to the tongue on a plate at this eatery. De Cantaro solved a common dilemma I find myself in with carne asada constantly. Whereas most restaurants serve up expensive tacos with more fat than meat, this location in Puerto Vallarta provides perfect proportions -- in my opinion. That's not all. The shrimp scampi here is delicious, especially the slightly charred heads. Paired with some limes it is rich in flavor and I recommend using limes in every dish if possible. Last and not close to least, the service at De Cantaro is exceptional considering the dining table placement and size. Waiters and waitresses walk the floor and rarely miss a chance to satisfy the customer's needs. Lina was my family's (4) server tonight, and I can easily say that she made the dinner a fun experience. I'll try and come back to De Cantaro in the future! Enjoy!/¡Buen Provecho! read more

We had the best fish I've ever eaten. Even though this restaurant is known for its meats, the whole grilled red snapper is beyond delicious!

Do NOT visit Puerto Vallarta without enjoying a meal at this place! Wonderful, attentive service, charming atmosphere, attention to every detail! These folks are pros! And I haven't even started on the food. We ordered the Mexican Platter and the Lobster. So much food and everything was impeccably prepared and presented. The lobster was served with melted butter infused with roasted garlic!!! I mean...amazing! Everything on the Mexican platter was just exactly what we were hoping for, plus a little bit extra! I can say enough good things about this meal. Great job!! read more

We stopped by De Cantaro for a quick lunch before the beach recently and it was amazing! Staff were so friendly, drinks were STRONG, and the food looked and tasted amazing. The food is made fresh and to order, but the extra wait is worth it. The ambiance and decor is really nice too, I bet the place looks gorgeous at night. read more

Host was extremely nice and welcoming, which is why I decided to try this place. Unfortunately, the chicken I ordered was undercooked. They replaced it with undercooked Mahi Mahi. Service was ok by PV standards. There are so many great restaurants on this street, so I hope they adapt. On the bright side, the atmosphere is great! read more

Excellent food, Julio was a great waiter who gave us recommendations. Will eat here again before we leave the area.

If you have a little bit of patience and appreciate quality F & B I highly recommend this place. Food takes slightly longer than most restaurants but certainly worth every minute. Everything we ate was nothing short of excellent. Thank you Gume for your perfect service. read more

Ordered hamburger rare and it came medium rare. Also they put some kind of marinade on it that took away from the beef flavor. Julio came by and asked how it was. I didn't lie. He just turned on his heals and walked away as I was talking. Rude. read more

Excellent food and great service. Our waiter Jaime was very attentive. Try the Plato Mexicano, it was outstanding. Only reason I don't give five stars is that they were loudly airing a boxing match and that detracted from the otherwise great ambiance. This place did not strike me as a sports bar, so the boxing match seemed a little out of place. read more

Food was OK but the service was, unfortunately, slow and inattentive. There were just not enough servers available; it's the low season but at least 10 tables with two waiters who couldn't handle the volume. read more

We had an absolutely incredible meal here. One of the best we have had in a while. The service was perfect, thanks to our waiter Antonio, who took amazing care of us. Definitely don't want to miss this place read more

Eaten there tonight, we got the half chicken and the salmon, the chef did an amazing job! It was the best food I've had for a long time! Julios service was amazing I will be recommending eating here to everyone I know visiting puerto Vallarta! read more

10/10 amazing food: amazing service. Julio was perfection in a server.... Prime Rib eye is well worth the affordable price... don't skimp on the spinach Alfredo dipping sauce or the calamari. Also chicharones + bone marrow is to die for. Recommend to anyone and everyone ! read more

Authentic wood fired food... ribs were amazing! That's what I came to Puerto Vallarta!!! Julio was great!

Be prepared for excellent but slow service, they bring drinks promptly but food service is slow. Food is AMAZING high quality and good prices. Definitely caters to American tourists. Try the Sangria it's delicious! read more

We enjoyed happy hour here yesterday and can't wait to go back! Delicious drinks and food, made even better due to the very attentive waiter/bartender, Isahi Antonio! He went to great lengths to make things extra special, even putting a tiny seashell on my glass. Thanks for everything, can't wait to bring friends here!! read more

Heart of the Zona Romantica, lovely ambience and attentive service. We were there with new friends, sharing life stories. The pace of the service was right. The food excellent. My wife and our companions J & H each had the set menu, part of the proceeds of which went to charity. L had the pork chop - a large yummy chunk of meat (we live in a Muslim country, so relish the chance to eat our favorite meat!). I had the pork baby back ribs. J had the pork chop, H the chicken. That and 3 margaritas and water was $2250 including tip. A really nice meal in a great part of town. Restaurant would be perfect too for a romantic start to a night out. read more

Hands down 5 stars. Excellent seafood. One of my friends had the blue shrimp which were good sized and I was told they were excellent. I ordered the lobster and it was very good. The portions were fairly large as well. I suggest the mezcal margarita with cucumber and jalapeño... it was awesome with a bit of a bite at the end. Will be going back! read more
