    Surprised to hear others didn't have great food and bad service. Both were excellent during our stay! THE FOOD & DRINKS We came to the restaurant 3 times together for dinner during our stay, and my husband came once for lunch as well. Our favorite dish was hands down the rib eye appetizer. We tried both -- the one with guacamole and the one served with melted cheese (queso fundido). The one with guac was amazing! The rib eye was crispy and tender, creamy guacamole, tangy salty cheese crisps, and fresh soft tortillas. The seafood we tried tasted so fresh. The desserts were rich. The cocktails were strong. Overall, the menu was presented as a nod to some authentic Mexican cuisines. It was definitely a fusion menu, drawing on inspiration from other cultural cuisines. THE SERVICE The service was excellent. We actually had the same server twice. All staff was attentive and friendly. They offered food recs and even took photos for us, as we were on our honeymoon and wanted to capture moments. They checked in on us the right amount and made sure we were enjoying our food and had everything we needed to dine. THE AMBIANCE At night, it's definitely a romantic vibe. We noticed more adults at the resort in general and this was true for dinners at the restaurant. You can dress up or dress down and both would be acceptable. It's more on the fine dining side. The servers are definitely trained to give a higher caliber of service than you find in casual restaurants. THE VERDICT We loved it! We didn't expect to eat so many meals at the resort, but the food was so good. The menu is certainly pricey, which is to be expected. And of course, it's convenient since we were staying right downstairs. I would definitely come back when we're in PV again.

    Do not order the vegan brownie. SO BAD

    The ambience is absolutely beautiful just as all the other reviews have said. And the food is utterly mediocre. Based on the other reviews, I went for something basic and less expensive, the steak tacos. They were fine, but tasted like street tacos that you would get on a street corner in LA. I mean, not like GOOD street tacos, but like basic street tacos. They have a very large, vegan dessert menu, which was a nice surprise so decided to save room for dessert. Big mistake. The server recommended the brownie of all of the desserts, and it was absolutely horrible. I don't know what they used in place of flour, maybe whole wheat flour, but it tasted like sawdust. The biggest shock of the night was the price of the glass of wine. They do not put the prices of wine by the glass on their menu, which is always a little bit suspicious. But I assumed that a house wine would be less expensive than one of their signature cocktails. Boy was I wrong. It was almost twice the price. And it was more than my entrée! Overall, it was pleasant sitting up there, I really enjoyed the view, I enjoyed my over-priced glass of wine, but just go in with low expectations on the food.

    We had a fabulous dinner while enjoying one of the most beautiful views of the city at Eugenia last night. The service was excellent. I really love the fact that they have a vegan menu with many different options. My husband enjoyed a Octopus Tacos, perfectly prepared rib eye steak and coconut cake for dessert. I had bean and chipotle cream soup, Ensenada Tacos, and Tofu Panna Cotta. It is the best selection of vegan options that I've seen in Puerto Vallarta thus far. I would highly recommend Eugenia for an amazing dinner and an amazing experience.

    I have been here 3 times and Edgar was my favorite. He was so sweet and attentive. He made my restaurant experience muy bueno. Me gusta Edgar. Estoy agradecida Por su servicio. Each time I had something different I had comeole and chips, I had shrimp and potatoes, and I had tuna tartar. All good but the guacamole is my favorite.

    Bone marrow tacos

    Great food, views and service! Definitely recommend this restaurant and these dishes!

    most legit bites you'll have in this entire area!…read more if you arrive after 8pm on any given night, there will be a line but the wait is so worth it! must get the guacamole, tacos el pastor and the agua de jamaica is top tier and not bragged about enough, add some lime for an extra kick!! this hole in the wall is in the middle of all the bustle in zona romántica and sitting outside only adds to the experience!

    If you visit Puerto Vallarta and venture into Zona Romantica for the first time, I highly recommend…read moretrying this taco stand. While the wait can be a bit unpredictable, it's usually not too long, especially during the summer. However, if you visit in the winter, it can take a while. The food here is reasonably priced and the portions are generous. The only thing that confuses me is the fruit water of the day. The cups are incredibly small, and for 30 pesos, I expected more. I've noticed that some tables have their water refilled, while others have been changed. I'm not sure if this is a policy or just a coincidence. The service is okay, but nothing extraordinary. They have a limited number of tables and don't have air conditioning, so it can get quite hot inside and outside. However, you're here to eat and go, so don't expect a sit-down experience. One important thing to note is that they only accept cash. So, make sure to bring some pesos with you.

    Our new favorite taco joint. We went there, were seated right away. Service was good and fast…read more We ordered the casa fundido with Al Pastor on top. It's thicker, more cheesy than what I've ever had before and very delicious. We paired that with the prime rib tacos, it was a plate stacked with meat and 4 tortillas under it, more than we could eat. The seasoning was great, it was diced so small that it was easy to eat. I got a virgin strawberry margarita, the wife got a coke. It was very affordable.

    I was honestly surprised to see this place rated so highly because our experience was pretty…read moredisappointing. We ordered the ribeye, al pastor, and chorizo tacos. The ribeye had so much fat that we had to pick through it just to eat it. The al pastor was very average - I've had much better at plenty of other taco spots. The biggest disappointment was the chorizo. It wasn't traditional chorizo at all; it looked and tasted more like chopped-up hot dogs. We barely touched it because it wasn't what we ordered expecting, and it just wasn't good. The presentation also wasn't appealing. The meat was simply piled on top of two tortillas, making everything messy and difficult to eat. They were also pretty stingy with the grilled jalapeños. The salsas didn't do the food any favors either. None of them really stood out, and the green guacamole salsa actually tasted like it had gone bad, so we stopped eating it. Service was attentive, but almost too attentive. Staff kept coming by every few minutes to ask if we were finished or if we needed anything. While I appreciate good service, it made us feel like we were being rushed through our meal instead of being able to enjoy it at our own pace. Overall, I don't understand the high ratings based on our experience. With so many amazing taco spots in Puerto Vallarta, this one didn't come close to meeting the hype. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back.
