We went at 5:30p and had the best seat at the restaurant. You can't beat the view of the ocean waves and surfers in the distance. The chimichurri sauce and bread to start was delicious, along with good ol french fries. I had the fettuccine and it was creamy and really good. The rest of us ordered pizzas. The service was great and no rush at all. read more

What a great spot! We came here for a family friend's birthday and everything was excellent. We had the Peruvian ceviche, grilled vegetables, filet mignon, mushroom risotto, cheese pizza, and a few other dishes. They were all excellent. They served her a banana bread with caramelized sugar, bananas, and raspberry drizzle birthday dessert. It was quite tasty. The ambience was really, really nice, especially the tables in the sand right above the water and crashing waves. The staff was awesome too. Very helpful and polite. Our only gripe is that dinner took an unusually long time to arrive. read more

Punta Mercedes in Punta de Mita blends Argentine and Mexican influences with beachfront views. It has a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Their wood-fired grill is at the center on the menu here: grilled steaks, fresh seafood, shrimp and fish, pizzas, and pasta with shellfish. We particularly liked their chewy, wood fired prebete bread with their standout chimichurri, flavored with garlic, carrot, and red pepper, which were offered before our seafood entrees. The wine highlights Argentine wine like Malbec and Torrontés, but also Italian and Chilean wine. There is an excellent wine shop at the front of the restaurant, where you can pick up a bottle to go.) A complimentary dessert wine was offered with the check: a thoughtful finish to our meal here. Family-run and full of heart, Punta Mercedes is a good spot for sunset Argentine parrilla complete with a local surfers in view. Definitely recommended. read more

The filet mignon was delicious but the NY strip was tough and full of fat. The beet salad and truffle mashed potatoes were delicious. The mango margarita was not worth the price $290 pesos -- it tasted just okay. The service was fine. The ambience was okay. It was a rainy night so we sat inside. read more

One look at the menu told us this place was probably run by an Argentine. In turn, this would probably mean great meats, pizzas, and pastas. Happily, both of these possibilities were reality! The restaurant has a modern vibe, with tables in the sand on an elevated terrace overlooking the beach. There are fans to keep cool (and keep away the bugs). From start to finish, the service was friendly, prompt, even solicitous. The servers are all pros, a real asset to the place. But the food, what about the food? Everything was actually... delicious! The smoked porchetta with risotto was the best meat dish I'd had in ages, with cherry tomatoes and arugula providing just enough contrast for the rich parmesan risotto and the pork, which was tender enough to pull apart with the pair of spoons provided. The pappardelle were freshly made and toothsome, with an exquisite bolognese. The wines were also excellent, and very reasonably priced. (In fact, the prices for the food were downright modest, given the quality of the product.) There's a nice selection from around the world, but especially from Mexico and points south. It can be hard to find satisfying, well priced options on tourist strips like the one in Corral del Risco, but Punta Mercedes has squared that particular circle with ease. Muy bien hecho, che. read more

We were recommended this place by our hotel and it was OK. Service was pretty slow and spotty. The vendors were way too aggressive at this location and even came up into the restaurant and the restaurant didn't really do much about it. Overall we felt the food was too oily. My pizza was good but not great. My husbands eggplant, fish, and asparagus were all too oily. Mussel appetizers were good but not great. Views are nice!Wouldn't come back. read more

The pizza was passable but everything else was low-grade dog food. They destroyed the lobster tail with metallic butter, while the steak was wayyyyy overcooked. Expensive for what it is and the staff needs training. read more

Great food & wonderful wine choices in the restaurant and at the wine shop in front. The ambience is beautiful and elegant. Top notch service! read more

We were not planning on eating anymore food that night because we were so stuffed but the vibe of this place and the idea of some great wines pushed us through these doors and we landed a great sunset view seating without any reservations and thoroughly enjoyed the time spent here. They have a great selection of wine, believe me.. it's exhaustive and great. We tried a bottle from Baja California and it was delicious. The staff here is very accommodating, awesome and knowledgeable about the dishes. They recommended a great tuna rock item from their small plates menu and I ended up ordering it twice. It was so good!! Really good. They have pizzas, oh yeah, it's an Italian cuisine restaurant so they have more than the pizzas but I tried sticking with all the fish dishes they had on the menu. The sunset from this place is amazing!! read more

A Hidden gem! Open kitchen, with a woodfired oven. Everything smelled and looked promising as we searched for a dinner spot. We were promptly seated at a comfortable table on the sand at sunset, beautiful views, a relaxed vibe. The service from Manuel and staff was efficient and very personable. All of his recs were perfect. The FOOD was the runaway favorite. One of the best meals we've had. Seriously exceptional. Even the pasta (which can sometimes be bland or uni-flavor/boring) was excellent, flavorful, al dente. The only reason I hesitate to share a glowing review is we'd like to go again and not have the line out the door... bravo to Mercedes! PS the truffle mashed potatoes... read more

We absolutely loved this place. Hands down the best meal we've had in Punta Mita. Ambiance, service and food were all 5stars. The grilled peach salad was amazing. We had the pizza and pappardelle bolognese and both were exceptional. We aren't big fish eaters and that's mostly what Punta Mita has to offer. I'm sure they are all excellent if that's what you're looking for but if you're looking for some place unique this place is spot on. read more

Everything is really good. I got the pizza and loved it. Definitely recommend!!!!!!!!!

Had the best dinner! The ambience, service, food. Between the 6 of us we tried almost everything on the menu. All the steaks were amazing as well as the lobster. Truffle mashed potatoes were maybe the best mashed potatoes were delicious. This is a great restaurant to eat at if you are looking for a break from Mexican food. Our servers name was Ishmael and he was great! read more

Love their menu. Different from other spots on this street. Pizza, steak, pasta. Great appetizers. Loved the deep fried ribs and the rock filet mignon. We had four different pizzas and they were all great. Wish I had the beef ribs. Great location and atmosphere. Excellent attention. read more

What a surprise this spot was. Such a beautiful interior and such wonderful food. The pasta is to die for. So is the staff. You cannot go wrong here. read more

This is our second time here in less than a week and the service is amazing and equally so is the food. If you would like a great piece of steak try the tomahawk. We shared it among a family of three along with some sides and it was absolutely amazing! read more

Really good restaurant. They had several specials including a roasted short rib but we came in the mood for pizza. Saw the big pizza oven and knew we were in the right place. Ordered a nice bottle of Chianti Riserva. Wife ordered the Margherita and I had pepperoni, sausage, mushroom, red onion and olives. Perfectly cooked. Crispy, thin, etc. Had plenty left over. Service was excellent too. Only issue was driving directions were not correct in Yelp. Went a mile and a half down the highway in our golf court. This is right on restaurant row read more

Let's just say that we started out with the Rock Tuna and Rock Beef, where you cook the meat on a hot rock. I immediately took out my phone and gave 5 stars!!!!! I could have just had those for dinner. The meat just melted in my mouth. So So good!!!! Dinner has arrived.... I had the Margarita pizza YUMMY!!! Others had the shrimp, lobster tail, Tuna steak, and Shrimp and Lobster pizza. Let me just say, that it is quiet at the table. We were stuffing our faces Everything was so Very Good!!!!! Love this place read more

Our family of 5 had the dinner of our trip at Punta Mercedes last night! Sitting at a perfect table on the sand and looking out to the ocean and the rocks was perfect. JJ and his team were so attentive and the food was superb. We had steak, pizza, pasta, shrimp and the hot rock beef app and dessert! We pretty much had one of everything. We mentioned our anniversary so of course they brought out another dessert and had candles and sang. Ordered Prosecco AND they are the only place we have found that has IPA beer - which made my husband very happy. We are going to go back for our last night of vacation! Thank you Punta Mercedes! read more

This is a wonderful place to dine when you need a break from margaritas and Mexican food. Their wine list is amazing and the wood fire oven creates the best thing crust pizza. They serve you a warm fresh roll with homemade chimichurri sauce to start. We had a basil, shrimp garlic pizza and it was more than enough for the 2 of us. We sat at the bar since it was a colder wet evening but they have wonderful beach front sand seating too. The service was wonderful and the food amazing. read more

Everyone in Punta mita is so friendly except in this place we had a really Bad experience the hostess (curly black hair) was so rude and impolite we arrived the place was empty and she did not want to give us a table by the ocean arguing they where not ready (there where all set up) and never mentioned they where reserved or anything, she did not want to explain anything, we felt so mistreated we decided to leave the place I don't recommend this place WORST SERVICE EVER! read more

Service was attentive. Drinks were good. Food was delicious, particularly the pizza (excellent dough, nice toppings). Atmosphere is delightful with a view to the bay. Catch of the day was simply and expertly prepared. read more

Very good restaurant right on the beach in downtown Punta Mita. Exceptional service and great dishes prepared simply with great flavor. The only reason I'm not giving 5 Stars is there was no gluten free pizza or pasta which would have made the meal even better. A good portion of the menu is pizza and pasta so I felt like I missed out on what I'm sure would have been yummy. In any case the fish was delicious and the veggies were grilled with great flavor. I like eating simple and clean with flavor so it was perfect for me. read more

If you are looking for a world class steak and chef, this place is it. Not just good for a smaller town but fantastic no matter what town! My wife and I came to Punta Mercedes last year and were blown away by the rib eye steak. Went last night to see if it would be as good as last year and it didn't disappoint. My wife did the pasta with Bolognese and it was fantastic. read more

Great food. We orders two of the salads one being the beets salad and it was great. Main dish we got the mahi mahi and vegetarian pizza, both were very yummy. The pizza was made in a stone pit, very thin and yummy. Didn't have room for desert :(. Everyone was very nice and great service. I would definitely go back next time we are in town. read more

Have been in town 5 days and had dinner here twice. It's a newer restaurant and it's wonderful. Both times we really didn't want a big meal. It was my husband and myself. We each got a salad. The salads are outstanding and a pizza to share. The pizza are wood oven baked and really great. The staff and service are the best. The host or maybe owner not sure greeted us the second time like we were friends. They actually remembered us. We had Abeel as our waiter both times and really got to be friends. He is a charming professional man. I am sure anything on the menu is wonderful but we enjoyed not having a big meal. I highly recommend! read more

This is a brand new restaurant set behind the wine store on the Main Street in town. Very spartan but kind of cool appearance but the star here is the good food. Wood fired pizza oven cooks all the meat dishes which are excellent, not just good for the area. the owner owns the wine store and has Argentinian heritage so the meat preparation and quality is perfect. Great friendly staff and chef try very hard to please. I predict this will be a favorite spot in the area to eat. And the prices are beyond fair for both food and wine choices. You will want to eat here once on your trip. Open dinner read more

Nice place in town, had dinner here I ordered steak medium rare and it was really rare. Not sure if it is understood what temp that is or he only heard the rate part . It was a rib eye great flavor. Salads were terrific so was the pizza. They really have the pizza down. Thin crust just charred a bit from wood oven crispy just the perfect amount of toppings . I would go back for pizza and a different steak. Vegetables were cooked nice and al dente. read more

What a surprise and a profound treat. Open only six months, this culinary gem is a treasure long sought and finally discovered. The manager chef, Joe, is an artist at presentation, creativity, quality, commitment to patron happiness, as well as being a baker and a sommelier. Ask for any of the meat or Fish dishes and experience freshness and quality. Order the stone seated tuna or beef. Order the individual cheesecake. Just be happy and enjoy. read more
