There is a reason why this place has so many positive reviews. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. If you're in PV and want an upscale-style dining experience, go to La Leche. The martinis and margaritas are both very good. They also have an excellent wine selection. Their menus are on large chalkboards and are explained in detail by each waiter. Try several of their appetizers. They're all good. Their sopa nada is a delicious cream-based soup. I also had their duck and roast beef as appetizers although I assume their menu changes often. I had their seafood ravioli (see picture). It was also very tasty and the presentation was beautiful. It had shrimp, octopus, and calamari with house made cheese ravioli and squid ink. La Leche could be a restaurant found in Manhattan. It's got a big beautiful bar with high ceilings. There's even live music/DJ in an open space up above overlooking the seating areas. It's very chic. If you want a high-class dining experience definitely check this place out! read more

Overrated: the ribeye tacos are the worst. The service and concept are great, but the food is way overrated! The jaiba had too much butter on it, tasteless. Please skip this restaurant if you can. read more

Really enjoyed this place, but not for the average food lovers. You have to be willing to try exotic foods. The drinks are divine. Quite the experience, all white interior and staff is lovely and helpful. read more

Everything is an experience since the moment you walk in. All the food and drinks we order were delicious, you are greeted at the entrance and immediately ask you to take your pictures to get them out of the way while you wait for your table (such a great idea) read more

Sorry to say the reviews on this are truly completely off. This is a chef driven, very young and inexperienced team. Yes, the ambience and their all white themed milk boxes on shelves is a very straight modern vibe. The servers are friendly and the drinks are well poured and a good selection. The menu is chef inspired and changes daily, I was told. I was excited for the meal as were my husband and other couple. Bag of rolls appeared for each with only 2 small rolls of butter for the 4 of us. Rolls were tasty and being served in a white bag was cute. The server brings out 2 small slices of tuna, complements from the chef. There are 4 of us, they have no idea that I cannot eat tuna, but 2 slices for 3 people is still a bit odd. We observed the party behind us of six people, only got the 2 small slices of tuna too. Oh yeah, nothing to serve that with either. This is where the evenings starts to get tricky for us. The oysters were ordered and I ordered the cheese plate, with toast, fruits, walnuts, raisins, and 2 jams. The cheese plate was served with a huge cheese slicer for a very large hard cheese. A nice presentation item, but completely useless for the portion of the cheese we received. The tray actually brings small triangles of bleu cheese, brie cheese, a white hard cheese and a swiss cheese. There was nothing to cut and slice the cheese with other than your butter knife. The raisins and walnuts come in a tiny sealed jar, which we simply poured onto the plate. The apricot and a berry jam were served in this semi oval tiny glass jars with no small utensil to get the jam out of it. The butter knife we had was simply huge for these tiny jars. Making this appetizer a lot of work to prepare before any of us could actually enjoy it. The oysters were generous and came with a thick salsa sauce that were in a small milk pour jar. Problem: thick salsa cannot be poured onto oysters. Again, some small tea spoon would have worked. When the server Carlos came by and asked, we explained our issues. He completely discounted us and said he would have to let the chef know. Yet, no spoons or small knives were brought to assist us with the appetizer. I ordered the small chicken that was to come with mashed potatoes and green beans. In actuality, I got a dry cornish hen that was overcooked with a tin can that had the 4 pieces of hard green beans and a square of sliced potatoes that really could have been cooked a bit longer. The sauce was not a cheese based but more of a mustard taste. Completely drowning the sliced potatoes. Not a mash, but a thick, uncooked sliced potatoes. Completely disappointed by the meal. My husband got the soup and only ate half the bowl for the soup was cold. My friends shared the grilled veggies and fish and said their meal was cold too. The servers also tend to hover around you. Before you finish your meal, they are coming by to take your plate. Twice, we had to stop them when we were eating our appetizers. We bought a bottle of wine and they kept coming by to fill our glasses and then took the bottle and started selling us on another one when we hadn't finished the wine in the glass. I don't understand these outrageous reviews. Great gimmick with the all white and milk references, but front end of the house needs some training. Simple details like proper serving utensils would have completely heighten our dining experience. Pacing around us by the servers was completely unnecessary and deter the whole experience. Not someplace I would recommend to a foodie, a traveler or anyone else. Expensive and not warranted. read more

My hubby and I got to check out this place after being recommended by friends and locals. The interior is all white, including all the furniture and wall fixtures. Their service is world class. Upon seated they will wheel towards you a gigantic menu board and give you a complete and thorough presentation. You absolutely have to try any of the fish or seafood plates they recommend. Their cauliflower pipían verde dish is deeply complex and tasty too. Their wine menu is bountiful. We were so excited they had a couple Valle de Guadalupe wines we immediately recognized. Go there with an open mind and you will have a wonderful time for sure. Reservation is a must. read more

We decided to splurge and try out this restaurant because it's next to our resort and has cool decor. The decor was very cool and the ambiance was nice. It's got a bartending cart but only does a few things table side. None of our drinks were made table side which was disappointing. The appetizer was good. We got the octopus. However both main dishes were terrible. Got the ribs and the duck. They were both overly salted and bland at the same time. The flavor lacks dynamic. And they literally threw some raw spinach on top as a garnish. When I was paying for the bill, the waiter tried to pressure me to tip him more. I have never had an experience like that. I'd expect a restaurant like that would train the staff better. read more

La comida salada las ostiones no estaban frías aunque las sirven en hielo debería sentirse frías por dentro temo enfermarme nada que ver con las fotos del menú. Se supone que es de autor no lo es se ve que no le ponen atención el servicio está bien pero debería ser espectacular read more

I'm not sure where to start, this place was immaculate! Soon as you walk in you are greeted by staff who is willing to take your photo in the photo opp area. Then you are guided to your table. I started off with a drink, cucumber margarita which was so refreshing. I got oysters as an appetizer, I got the steak, asparagus and potatoes with a mushroom sauce, it was so delectable! I had made a mistake and dropped my napkin towel on the floor then proceeded to pick it up and put it on my lap, within seconds someone grabbed it and said no, I have to get you a clean one, unbeknownst to me it was one of the servers, I was very impressed! You can order drinks from a mixologist and they bring a bar cart to your table to prepare whatever drink you requested. The menu is changed every single day, which I like but not love, I had my heart set on Branzino however it was not available on the day I went. If I had to rate this place from a scale from 1-10, it's mostly definitely a 10! By far the best restaurant I have been to out of the country and I honestly cannot wait to go back! read more

The ambiance of the restaurant, the music and the overall food presentation are good. But that's about it. The food taste does not match the price and it's not about the price even, it just doesn't taste that good overall. I've got three dishes: the tuna tartar, the signature duck and the cheese cake. The tuna: it wasn't well blended with the pineapple (although, I did like the pineapple by itself) and overall the tuna didn't taste that good, I think it was lacking freshness and that balsamic marinate wasn't helping it. I barely finished half, and normally, I love tuna tartar. The duck: I love the veggie part but the duck itself was overcooked and was dry, plus the peanut sauce made on some bitter oil...it is so strong that you can't even taste the duck anymore. Also, on the menu picture it's shown as a duck breast (which is the best part of the duck) while they brought me duck confit. Perhaps, it also contributes to the experience that some people who try the juicy breast part love it while those who try the confit part wonder about where all those great reviews come from. (Just a thought) And finally, the cheesecake: the cake itself is really nice ( made in house) and tender but then it comes with pumpkin seeds and figs and raw peanuts ice cream. Again, in my opinion, these items don't blend well with the cheesecake. Raw peanuts in the ice cream...good attempt for creativity, but no. All together, none of the dishes created that ecstatic experience that I usually have when I eat a good food. This restaurant is not worth it, in my opinion read more

This place is just okay. If you come from any other world class city such as San Francisco, Los Angeles or New York for example, then the dishes are 3/5 stars at best. The guava margarita is good, however , but I do not recommend spending cash on the wine. The decor is unique! If you are into the art scene then this place is worth a stop as well, although it's on the outskirts of PV. The menu changes daily and is described to you once you are seated at your table. read more

What an amazing restaurant! My husband had the 6-course tasting menu, and I had 4 vegetarian dishes. Each one was outstanding! The vegetarian dishes were crafted with care and creativity, and were really delicious. My husband said his brain exploded from how good his food was (and he has never said before). And almost impossibly, the service was just as excellent, if not even better, than the food! Everyone, from the hostesses to the team of servers that assisted us, were extremely warm and attentive. It felt like service from the heart, from every single person. We are not sure what magic La Leche has figured out to be able to create such an outstanding staff team and dining experience. But they have done it! We will definitely be back the next time we're in Puerto Vallarta! read more

Outstanding dining experience at LA LECHE ALMACÉN GOURMET, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Thankfully, there were no Mexican drug cartel kidnappings here the evening (Friday Oct 16th, 2020) we visited. Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's son, Jesús Alfredo Guzman, was kidnapped during dinner here in August 2016. We used OpenTable for our 8pm reservation, made a week in advance and our table was waiting upon arrival. We observed stricter COVID-19 precautionary measures (versus at home in Dallas) most everywhere we went, including at La Leche. Upon arrival all guests must pass thru an enclosed glass chamber that sprays a disinfectant mist, visible under an ultraviolet light. I don't know what it was, but a week later we are home and I am still negative for Coronavirus. Service was excellent from beginning to end; gracious, attentive and happy to have you there. The chalkboard menu (see attached pic) changes daily and there is also a QR Code menu (see attached pic). We enjoyed Tequila Maestro Dobel Diamante, Mango & Maracuya Margaritas - several! Appetizers: Sopa de Nada - Love the name! Cream based soup Ensalada del Día - mixed greens, pears, balsamic vinaigrette dressing QMT = Quiero Mi Tuna - Lamina de atún, or sliced tuna in a soy glaze Entrees: Pato - Duck (I'm not a fan of duck but my friend loved it) Escolar Negro - White Tuna with Squid Ink (adding dark black/blue color + savory taste to the fish) Ribeye x 2 - not a Texas Ribeye, but still good Dessert: Tabla de Postres - dessert sampler read more

Giovanni and his team did a fantastic job. We enjoyed the complimentary pâté atun. The drink selections were fantastic. The martini and margaritas the perfect balance of sweet and not too strong. read more

The concept and interior decor of La Leche is incredible. I absolutely loved that part. The food and service was mediocre to say the least. We came at night, so it was a nightclub for the two tables in the restaurant which made it nearly impossible to hear anyone speak. It took over 45 minutes to refill any drinks or for the server to acknowledge your our existence and when they did come around, they would sneak up on us from behind. The duck was very dry, however the vegetables were very good. The lobster was rubbery and overcooked. Would I go back? No. read more

I have been thinking about this review for days now, just because I hate giving bad reviews and even suggest to stay away from a business. La Leche has been such a disaster that I feel it needs to be shared. La Leche is a very confused place. No clue if they are trying to be a hip restaurant or a night club but whatever it is, it's just not working. They are setup as a restaurant with a live DJ, which is a nice addition in most other places, just not here. The music is so loud that you can't understand a word the servers are saying. I don't speak much Spanish so I have to be able to really hear what they are saying to understand it. If you are trying to hold a dinner conversation, forget about it. It ends up in yelling at each other which is not fun. Now the service experience was a complete disaster. It started from serving extra items and not saying what it is to sneaking up from behind you and quickly move personal items on the table to rearrange silverware or remove a piece of paper from the table to taking 30min and 3 different servers to order 1 drink. Now let's get to the overpriced food... The items on the menu are priced at the high end which you would expect from an established high-end restaurant. The food we ordered was just a disaster. I am not sure what was going on in the kitchen but I would change out some staff. The best dish we had was a salad which is very difficult to mess up. The main dishes were dissapoiting. The Ravioli with clams was ok. The Ravioli was on the overcooked side and the clams did not taste fresh. They had a rubbery texture and aftertaste. The lobster, the most expensive item on the menu, was terrible! It wasn't just overcooked, it was well overcooked. It was very chewy and rubbery and also lacking flavor. Non of us really ate the food nor did we enjoy the experience in this recommend place by locals. We cancelled the last round of drinks and asked for the check. This restaurant really only gets 1 star because zero is not an option. La Leche really has left me with my worst dining experience ever. *** Ich hab schon seit Tagen über diese Bewertung nachgedacht, nur weil ich es hasse, schlechte Bewertungen abzugeben und sogar vorzuschlage sich von einem Geschäft fernzuhalten. La Leche war eine solche Katastrophe, dass ich das Gefühl habe, dass es geteilt werden muss. La Leche ist ein sehr verwirrter Ort. Keine Ahnung ob sie versuchen ein angesagtes Restaurant oder ein Nachtclub zu sein, aber was auch immer es ist, es funktioniert einfach nicht. Sie sind als Restaurant mit Live-DJ eingerichtet, was an den meisten anderen Orten eine nette Ergänzung ist, nur nicht hier. Die Musik ist so laut, dass man kein Wort vom Kellner versteht. Leider spreche Ich nicht viel Spanisch, also muss ich in der Lage sein, wirklich zu hören, was sie sagen, um es auch zu verstehen. Wenn Du Gespräch beim Abendessen toll findest, kannst du das hier vergessen. Es endet damit, dass man sich gegenseitig anschreit, was auch keinen Spass macht. Die Kellnererfahrung war eine komplette Katastrophe. Es begann damit, dass du kleine test speisen serviert bekommst und sie dir nicht sagen was es it, sich von hinten anschleichen um schnell das Besteck wieder in Ordnung zu rücken oder dein Handy mal schnell aufheben damit sie ein stück Papier wegnehmen können bis zu 30 Minuten Wartezeit für einen Drink den du auch gleich bei 3 verschiedenen Kellnern bestellen must weil die beiden anderen einfach nichts tun. Jetzt kommen wir zum überteuerten Essen... Die Speisen auf der Speisekarte sind preislich am oberen Ende angesiedelt, was man von einem etablierten High-End-Restaurant erwarten würden. Das Essen, das wir bestellt hatten, war einfach eine Katastrophe. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, was in der Küche los war, aber ich würde einige Mitarbeiter entlassen. Das beste, was wir hatten, war ein Salat, aber es ist ja auch sehr schwierig einen Salat zu vermasseln. Die Hauptgerichte liessen zu wünschen übrig. Die Ravioli mit Muscheln war auf der verkochten Seite und die Muscheln schmeckten nicht frisch. Sie hatten eine gummiartige Textur. Der Hummer, das teuerste Gericht auf der Speisekarte, war schrecklich! Es war nicht nur verkocht, es war total verkocht. Es war sehr zäh und gummiartig und es mangelte auch an Geschmack. Keiner von uns hat das Essen genossen und die Erfahrung and diesem hoch empfohlenen Restaurant von Einheimischen können wir auch nicht geniessen. Wir stornierten die letzte Getränkerunde und baten um die Rechnung. Dieses Restaurant bekommt wirklich nur 1 Stern, weil Null keine Option ist. La Leche hat mich wirklich mit meinem schlimmsten kulinarischen Erlebnis in meinem ganzen Leben zurückgelassen. Was für eine enttäuschung. read more

Food was unique, tasty and filling. We ordered the tuna appetizer (note the menu changes daily) and it was covered in a soy glaze with spinach and balsamic; my husband doesn't like tuna but loved this. We also ordered the pork dumplings but the entrees of bacon wrapped chicken and tortellini were by far the best! Shout out to Alberto, Moy, Ilse - our fantastic staff. Our waiter even explained each of the menu items in English to us. Lastly, we were celebrating my husbands 30th and they brought out a fire cracker on Penna cotta (charged us $60peso... but oh well) as a surprise. Very fun and filling dinner. read more

Going to this restaurant was a very fun experience! It was beautiful inside and the staff was very kind and attentive! Additionally it was not very pricey as a family of 5 was about $100. The meals were great but desserts were a tad dry. Additionally they made my friend cover her shoulders as she was wearing a strapless top which she felt uncomfortable with. read more

One of Puerto Vallarta's best in fine dining! Their food is carefully crafted, beautifully presented. Only three plates on their menu are constant the other options change. They offer the best mixed drinks! Martinis is one of their specialties-tamarind, mango, lychee, maracuya/passion fruit, cucumber, guava & there's more to choose from. The place is decor is also eye catching Live music/DJ playing but not loud to the point you can't hear your table's conversation. read more

I was expecting great food & service and got neither! They took a long time to take our order and to bring food. When we asked for extras they took along time. Our reservation was at 9pm we didn't get our food till 10:30 ish. The expectations were high because of the 4 star average. The food was a 6 out of 10. We told Them we were celebrating a birthday even that took 2 hours for them to take out the dessert. I would not recommend this place. read more

We had dinner today at this place and it was a terrible experience. Asked waiter for a recommendation and he suggested a surf and turf option. When the bill arrived, I was charged for two full entrees. He also tried to upsell others in our group. I feel so duped by the staff. We spoke to the manager and he refused to adjust the bill or acknowledge the issue. Its sad that this place would take advantage of foreigners traveling to PV. I guess duping people to their benefit is how they do business. read more

Original Date: 7/2/2015 My boss recommended La Leche when my friend and I were planning to vacation at Puerto Vallarta. The concierge of our resort made an advance dinner reservation for me and my friend. As we walked in and greeted by the hostess, we were seated at a table for two. I am just WOW about the décor of the restaurant so beautiful. We had two servers Tony & Yesi for our table. Tony wheeled over the menu and described in details of the appetizers and entrée to us. Me (well done) and my friend (medium well) ended up picking the same dish Arra Cheras. Omg my first time ever eating cactus hehe. Of course, we saved room for dessert. I am allergic to peanuts so I tried to stay away from all tree nuts. I picked the most common that I know Crème Brule with Nutella icecream. I told Yesi "mama like" sooooo amazingly yummy yo! Highlight of our night: when the owner/chef walked over to our table and chat with us about our dining experiences. He's funny hehe and we took two pictures with him =) Overall you have to stop by La Leche when you are in Puerto Vallarta! read more

This is a review for the La Leche food truck on the street out front. I was walking around Puerto Vallarta on my way from the resort district to Old Town and passed by this place. I'm not one to pass by a food truck so I ordered a steak arrachera burrito (for CHEAP, 80 pesos!) and sat down at one of the thoughtful temporary tables and chairs out front. The open back food truck grill meant that I could smell my meat cooking while I waited. This was a very tasty burrito. Not one of the best things I've ever eaten but very good for the price. Free salsas and hot sauces are provided too so you can spice things up a bit. Very fresh and served hot, and a good place for a quick snack. Safe for tourists too, I had zero tummy troubles after chowing down here. read more

Lactose tolerance!!!! This place was quite good. From the decor, to staff, to creative menu, to the way the food tastes and is presented. Tonight's menu was different, like all other nights. We went with the oysters as well as the tuna appetizers and they were good. Entree was lamb, duck (always on menu) and chicken. All three were outstanding although duck to cinnamony (if that's a word). Overall a solid sport for a more "gourmet" meal to break away from hotel dining monotony. Go on and poor yourself a cold glass of Leche! It's Bueno!!! read more
