We've loved Tintoque for dinner for years, so it was a fun surprise to discover that their brunch is just as incredible and maybe even more special in a different way. Not many people talk about their brunch, but they should. It is easily one of the best hidden gems in Puerto Vallarta. Every dish is beautiful, creative, and full of flavor. From the fresh bread and pastries to the main plates, everything feels intentional and thoughtfully prepared. You can tell the same care and creativity that goes into their dinner menu shows up at brunch too. The presentation is stunning, and the flavors are just as impressive. What really sets brunch here apart is the value. For the quality, the experience, and the level of cooking, it is an amazing deal. It feels like a high end experience without feeling stuffy or overpriced. It is the kind of place you want to linger, enjoy the view, and take your time. If you already love Tintoque for dinner, you owe it to yourself to try brunch. And if you have never been, brunch is the perfect introduction. It is truly one of the best brunch experiences in Puerto Vallarta and we keep coming back for more.

Been wanting to go to Tintoque since FOREVER lol but we always end up trying new restaurants in Versalles since it's closer to our home. First off there's street work being done just outside. So don't wear your stilettos just yet lol As we entered, all the awards and recognitions received by the restaurant is on display. Very cozy reception area. We were seated promptly. We were given small towels (just like in most Japanese restaurants), and a refreshing shot of Tuba (coconut wine with small pcs of cucumber). I want pitcher of that please! We were served an amuse bouche.....it's a canapé that's beautifully presented and DELICIOUS! Now I'm very confident that's we're in for a treat! We ordered grey goose martinis, a guava vodka drink and pisco sour (not on list). Great job by the mixologist! For starters we ordered blue fin tuna, the one with ants lol, and chicken livers. For our entrees we ordered the burger and rib eye prime and a side order of rice. ( I have to have my rice!) Everything was delicious, great presentation and food well seasoned. A couple of dishes were a tad salty but delicious nonetheless. Shout out to our servers Alexis and David!!! Excellent and very attentive service. They made our dining experience very memorable and worth every moment we were there. Can't wait to bring our friends and family next time we're in Puerto Vallarta!

Somewhere in there is a perfectly-done red snapper!

Remarkable food and great cocktails served impeccably in a beautiful space. Tintoque is a solid 10! I can't say enough about the attentive service--wow!

One of the most incredible meals in our lives! Our friends found this place and shared it with us, and we are delighted to share it with you. You will not be disappointed absolutely incredible.

We went here for my birthday. This was one of the best meals i have ever had. The ambiance was perfect and the service was spectacular. The prices were great too. We started with 2 specialty cocktails that were delicious. Our appetizers were a tostada with fresh tuna tartar and a mushroom wrapped enchilada. Both were fantastic. My husband had the fried chicken and i had the catch of the day. We loved them both. We shared a sticky pudding for dessert. We will definitely go back when we return to Puerto Vallarta.

This is an actual fine dining restaurant from top to bottom. The food, service and ambiance are impeccable.

Finally got a chance to try this one. Last time we were there two years ago I got sick and wasn't able to make dinner so really built up anticipation and it was worth it. It just a completely unique dining experience to anything else in PV and that's saying a lot for such a culinary town. All the food there was made with tender loving care and delivered by a great weight staff that really knew what they were talking about. Please make sure that you try to request a table on the patio. We were celebrating a birthday so they were very sweet and put us right at the lip of the patio overlooking the river and we got to watch all the little stray cats run around which was entertaining.

Born in Puerto Vallarta, but globally trained, Chef Joel Ornelas' Tintoque offers indigenous Ingredients with a wide range of inspirations in a riverside room with the sort of service befitting Michelin-starred eateries in Asia and Europe. Offered as a tasting or a la carte experience, the latter well-suited to large groups willing to share, Tintoque opened in 2016 and has frequently been cited as one of the best Restaurants in Mexico by publications including Guia Mexico Gastronomico ever since. A white-tablecloth space with an open kitchen, high ceilings and tiles magnifying sounds but never too loud, it is with a focus on local Spirits that Cocktails take on lot of complexity that pairs well to opening flavors such as two types of Fish Tostada including faultless Bluefin in Peanut Adobo. Intrigued by "High Fermentation" Bread, essentially toasted Sourdough adjacent aged Butter, a Bean and Cheese Tamale with Mushrooms also fared well while Marlin Kebabs unfortunately got a little lost in assertive Tzatziki and Feta. Better with Fried Chicken in something akin to Bravas Sauce, as well as Grilled Amberjack not unlike Steak in its taste and texture, Ornelas' Esquites seek to steal the spotlight despite their vegetarian nature thanks to Mushrooms and Cheese. Agreeable to offering a Tasting Menu addition a la carte, Bone Marrow Custard, Beef Fat Caramel and Foie Gras mesmerizing beneath a shard of Sugar, Cream Cheese Pudding exceeds expectations while Toffee Pudding served as a Donut is benefited by a scoop of housemade Ice Cream.

This was probably our one "nice" meal when we were in PV. We made advance reservations online, which was easy enough. The restaurant itself has lovely and hip. Minimalistic. There's indoor seating (with AC) or there's outdoor seating on the patio with lovely little lights and surroundings. We each did the tasting menu, which included "snacks," 6 courses, pre-dessert, and then desserts. The tasting menu was $2,106 (pesos) per person, which is about $116 (USD) a person. All the food was lovely and delicious. Bc it's a course menu, keep in mind that the food is bite sized pieces and that they are brought out in a measured tempo. You will get full, but just give it some time. With each dish, the staff explained what was in the dish and instructions on how to eat it. We also did one wine pairing to share for $1,500 (pesos), which is about $83 (USD) a person. A barrage of white wine came out for the most part. I think there was only 1 red wine that came out. With tip, our meal came out to about $375-$400 (USD). Just letting you know since I was a bit shocked that our meal would be that expensive in Mexico... However, it is technically much cheaper than tasting menus in the States. Overall: Lovely, kind staff. Good food. I'd recommend if you're looking for a nice restaurant in PV outside your resort/hotel. However, keep in mind the price!

Granadilla, coconut water sorbet, coconut panna cotta

This was our splurge meal in Puerto Vallarta and well worth it. Lovely setting inside, and out on the patio, where we were seated. We opted for the 9 course tasting menu, expertly served and described by Alexis. He was very accommodating when we asked him to slow down the courses a little. Our favorites were the crab gringa with Thai sauce and bacon, and the tomato/Ovni cheese/tamarind vinaigrette and mint. Coconut water sorbet and the vanilla flan were perfect to end the meal, though the coconut Cuala petit four was an unusual texture and flavor.

Fish: fresh snapper that was incredible. Accompanying broth like flavors were mild to last the fish shine. 4.5 stars

Stellar Mexican fine dining in a small boutique like elegant space with such creative dishes and complex flavors. 4.25 stars Food: 4.5 stars Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4 Cost to worth it rating: 3 (expensive, but high quality food) Opentableable: yes Return worthiness: maybe, only with true fine dining fans Eve award: best Mexican Asian pork fusion dish Highlights: - Piglet cheek with red curry agua chile and fresh coconut: one of the best dishes I've had in a long time. So many layers of complex flavors and texture. Acid for tang, slight heat, smoothness of the large fresh coconut slices, tenderness of the small pork pieces, and some crunch with thin daikon and peppers. Divine. 5 stars - Chicken Milanese with tomatillo pomodoro: super crispy textured exterior yet well cooked chicken interior. Loved the light green tomatillo sauce. 4.5 stars - Grilled fish with chiles: several pieces of fresh snapper that was incredible. Accompanying broth like flavors were mild to last the fish shine. 4.5 stars - Cocktails: all very different and I got one with crispy bacon that was light and not too sweet I really enjoyed. 4.5 stars - Sticky toffee pudding: not at all expecting this on a menu in Mexico but it was a favorite of the table. 4.5 stars - Amuse: believe was a tuna based item on a soft piece of toast and a nice lime flavor. 4 stars - Breads: fluffy sourdough, croissants, and pita breads were part of our meal and they were all fantastic. In the extra great order there was one with fennel that didn't seem necessary as the pure flavors were good as is. 4 stars - Corn truffle cheese: a main item that was rich but so delightful and the truffle took the backseat to the corn which I loved. Hard black bits in that I found hard to eat. 4 stars - Burrata: creamy hefty ball of burrata with croissants on the side. 4 stars - Dining space: elegant small dining room with high ceilings and a patio with lights next to a bit of water. Open kitchen which seemed to run smoothly. - Wine: we got a bottle of Malbec that was delicious, a glass of French champagne, and glasses of port. Midlights: - Short rib: most expensive item on the menu and was just ok. Not too tender or full of flavor. Also the other side of the large bone had a sausage that wasn't on the menu or explained to us so not sure if that was an impromptu change. 3 stars - Bluefin tuna tostada: crispy corn topped in tons of green herbs and some hidden spicy raw peppers. Fish was cooked in a tuna adobo to put on top. First few bites were fine but ended up being too spicy for my friend and I to continue eating. 3 stars - Sizing is a bit misleading as the starters and first and a decent size and the mains are portioned for many. - Accommodations for pickier eaters: I researched prior to coming for their approach to making accommodations to the menu especially for younger ones since my son is so picky and recognized it's fine dining. Many past diners wrote reviews noting the staff was happy to create items for them which led me to feel ok booking the restaurant. My son is 13 so not a child and when I saw chicken on the menu I asked if it was possible to create a version plain without sauce. The waiter declined then directed me to order the fish, but he doesn't eat seafood. He then resigned to reluctantly ask the chef. My son ended up getting chicken breast and was happy with it so glad it ended up working out. Lowlights: - Service was spotty for this level of establishment: a very long time to get our last course, tried to give us a different tables' cocktails, and when asked if there was anything they were able to make plain for my son he just said a curt "no." San Francisco prices I wasn't quite expecting though we did over-order as all plates were larger than expected to share. Bill was ~$250 per person and mid-range wines were $200. - Chocolate cake bites as last parting item was dry and lacked flavor which was a sad ending to a stellar meal. Ended up enjoying our meal as the food was outstanding but a few things during our experience fell a bit short.

Our group visited Tintoque after hearing all the hypes about it from friends and others that went to PV for so many times. The atmosphere is nice and cozy, which also has a vintage vibe that is suitable for family and friends gathering. The price is pretty expensive imo, but the dishes are not that special. My bf and I ordered a la carte with the bread + butter, dumpling, flat bread, and the lamp for main course. All the other dishes are normal and not worth the price, but their lamp is outstanding. There are complementary small bites from the chef; we got one for starter and another for dessert. The portion here is big, especially the lamb which can feed up to 4 people. We would come back here for the lamb!!!

WOW! Tintoque is an awesome experience in Puerto Vallarta. If you have the time, this place is not to miss! The experience, from start to finish, was superb. First, I tried a drink that was topped with chopped walnuts - it was the best alcoholic drink I have ever had. From there, we were torn about the tasting menu, but opted to make our own menu, which did not disappoint. Both appetizers were incredible; we had the empanada and the scallops. I almost opted to swap my entree for more of them. If you can only choose one, be sure to grab the scallops. For dinner, both entrees were stunningly amazing. My pork enchilada was one of the best I have ever had. Even as I expected excellence, I was not let down by the food. A quick scoop of lavender ice cream rounded us out - definitely a perfect moment to lead us out into the night.

Took my sister here for dinner as a final celebration to our family's holiday in PVR. We both highly recommend this as a must enjoy location when you are in Puerto Vallarta. Staff is most attentive, courteous, informative while still being discreet. Food is outstanding, all courses through 'amuse bouchée', salads, main courses and deserts were truly amazing. If you opt to only visit one spectacular restaurant in PVR, then I humbly suggest it be Tintoque. read more

We have had an incredible gastronomic experience in Puerto Vallarta So our evening here was very disappointing. They gave us an extremely inexperienced waiter, in fact I'd be surprised if he had ever served before. As the menu is somewhat of a fixed menu it is important that the waiter can answer questions. He couldn't. Once we had selected our various courses, they Did not serve them correctly. In fact, an additional waiter even came over to argue with me about the appetizer I had selected telling me it was the same as the others in our group. It was only after another waiter came over and indicated the appetizer selected was no longer being offered that it was resolved. Each of the course servings were incredibly small, however, some of them did have a nice flavor. It was just very disappointing overall and we were unimpressed. As all of our other experience were rated five stars by our group, this place just didn't measure up read more

Definitely the best restaurant in the marina. We were looking for a high end regional restaurant. Not only couldn't find that but also couldn't find anything that wasn't a tourist trap with people trying to lure you in or a sports bar with a giant TV screen. This was a pleasure to find! The décor is clean and modern, every detail has been carefully thought out. The food was most likely the best we ate in all of Puerto Vallarta. The ceviche was our absolute favorite, we also enjoyed the fried shrimp and the tamale. Everything was incredibly refined and certainly delicious.This is a must for any foodie visiting the area!! Food is on par or better than the other top rated restaurants in town (Cafe Des Artistes, La Palapa etc.) read more

I bet if anyone can give anything less than 5 stars to this place. Wow whatta place !!!. This is by far the best restaurant I have eaten in Puerto Vallarta and I am not exaggerating. Cafe artesis is pretty good but this is even better. My wife requested for vegetarian tasting menu and on the spot chef Joel arranged meticulously a 7 course heavenly delight. And most of the dishes were not even on the menu and he had to compose them spontaneously. And the food speaks chefs passion. Chef Joel was kind enough to come over our table and explain about the dishes Best taste and best bang for the buck. read more

The chef is a genius. Every dish was well balance and so complex in flavors. I have eaten in many restaurants in the us by celebrity chefs. This is the first time I felt there was genius behind every dish I ate. This was iron chef worthy. The wines paired with the six course tasting menu perfectly complemented each dish in addition were better wines than the wines we had at a number of high end restaurants in puerto Vallarta This restaurant is truly a must and if I lived here I would be back every two weeks to try out each menu. They also ask about any food you won't eat or allergic to and were so amenable and created lovely dishes for me that were similar to what my husband had but didn't have the ingredients I couldn't eat. read more

Interesting experience to say the least. Perhaps I'm used to the quality of food in the Bay Area, but the food at this place was disappointing. Do not get the tasting menu. The first round had bland little bite size snacks. The appetizers were very, very sour and it was basically cold, sour soup. The entrees were decent, but the portions were too small to enjoy. The hours long cooked tomato is basically like eating a prune. Did nothing for me. The dessert round was a very sad mix of various gelatos with weird tasting cinnamon and other odd flavors. read more

If you consider yourself a foodie, if you like amazing food that has been re-interpreted and not repeated, if you want the pleasure of taking your taste buds for a ride...just go! The nine course-tasting menu is what you want. My wife and I have had the pleasure of eating at some of the world's finest restaurants and Joel Ornelas is on his way to hitting an official list with stars. We went two nights in a row (unheard of for us) and had two completely different menus that were both equally impressive on their own. Mr. Ornelas came over and it was nice to thank him in person. Our server Miguel was also a delight. read more

My wife and I were staying at the Crowne paradise and I read the review forTintoque on yelp. The concierge called and they had availability right away. After a five minute cab ride we arrived and the manager greeted me by my first name. Restaurant itself was beautiful. We ordered the tasting menu with wine pairing. I'm not going to describe each course. Suffice it to say that the food was incredible And beautifully presented. The services were small but with nine courses there was plenty to eat. If I had to pick one course that I was especially impressed by it would probably be the baked tomato Infused with chocolate mole on a peanut sauce. The cost was slightly over $100 per person with everything. Well worth it. Can't say enough about the service provided. It was knowledgeable and impeccable . You won't be disappointed. read more

I'm reviewing based on the caliber promised and five star reviews. Gourmet style with a seasonal menu. We ordered ala carte, and did not do a tasting menu. The service was excellent. Waiters know the menu and can answer all questions. A manager circulated. The food is presented beautifully and is very fresh and different. If you have dietary needs this is not the place for you as each course is planned and paired deliberately. Our meal included one starter, two entrees, one dessert, 2 glasses of wine and 2 coffees. The bill was about $90 USD, which is reasonable by gourmet standards. The reason I am not giving five stars is that some of the dishes were over salted. A diner at the next table also mentioned too much salt on her chicken. The most delicious items were the special fruity water and the hot hor D'oeuvre they give you on the house as well as the sorbet dessert. My spouse says he is happy we went and wants to go back. read more

Nice greeting and first impression. Ambience pleasant overall - but the club music blaring during portions of our meal stood in stark contrast to the style of service. Lamb Ragu was good but a tad too salty...scallops with puréed pepper sauce was good as well - but both dishes lacked texture...both needed it. Might have been a 4 or even 5 star experience except for the way in which the "Gestapo-mannered" manager ignored our table as she made her appointed rounds - it was so overt that it became insulting. Five tables in the entire restaurant and she never once asked us about our meal (two females dining together) while she genuflected over others ( hetero-couples/families). Honestly....I hate the contrived manager drive-by anyway ....but it's the point of the matter. Won't be back and will not recommend to my friends and family who frequent PVR. read more

My husband and I went to dinner at Tintoque tonight and overall is was very good. The server was very nice but a bit hard to understand and spoke too quickly. Many times throughout the evening, we weren't sure what we were eating, but it was delicious nonetheless. We got the tasting menu and enjoyed everything but the last course. The steak was overdone and the dish lacked something. It wasn't as creative and beautiful as the previous courses. Dessert was good but not amazing. Would have loved a small, warm cake to eat with the cheesecake mousse. At the end of our meal we waited a very long time for our check and then our waiter asked us how the food and service were, which felt odd, and then proceeded to ask us to rate the restaurant on Trip Advisor. Seemed tacky. Overall we really enjoyed the experience. The cucumber octopus course was sooo good and we loved the pork belly tacos. Certainly worth visiting! read more

We both had sea bass that was so fresh with a sauce that I hoped wouldn't end. Desert was the best part. Cheesecake mousse with candied Nuts and berries. There was a local cheese as well which made it rich and we ate every bite. Service was awesome and the wine list was good and reasonably priced. We even had a 10% off coupon.

Incredible!!!!! One of the best meals I've ever had and that's saying a lot. It was restaurant week and they let us order whatever we wanted. The drinks were VERY good and the food even better. In the US we would pay 2-3 times for this quality. My buddy said this owner is a culinary genius and I couldn't agree more. read more

Vegan Hotdogs, mock meats, sliced seitan-ham, pepperoni etc. Lots of Tofu, vegan Cheeze, ice creams, burgers as such as well. The store has some hats, beachware and some basic clothes and home stuff as well. Most staff don't speak English so it may be a difficult if you need help. All else service are good.

This is your spot for fresh fish in Old Town PV. It follows the format for small Mexican fish…read moremarkets - open-air, stocked with a rotating selection of whatever came off the boats that day, and ready to rock. If you're squeamish about fish smell or the idea of flies, you might want to send your husband/friend/manservant here to purchase your fish for you. However while it looks a lot more rustic than your average US fish market, it's not that bad. We scored some excellent seabass and a fat kilo of tuna here for what I'd consider to be dirt cheap. And I'm assuming I paid gringo-price. The guys were helpful, spoke enough english to get me what I needed, and when I asked for tuna, they pulled a huge whole tuna out of the cooler, hacked off a kilo, and handed it to me. See photos. It was a thing of beauty. The fish sections in the supermercados around here suck. Come to this Pescaderia and get the fresh, tasty stuff instead. Support the little guy.

Fish, other seafoods, and shellfish, arrive at the shop in the early-mornings (weekdays, and Saturday), and once unpacked, are set up for sale rather quickly by the staff. My favourite time to shop there is between 7-9am, when the products are out for sale, and the selections and freshness the best. For me, it's been primarily a place to shop for shrimp. I find their selections are often 'the' best in the area -- allowing me to choose sizes graded from small to large, and at times, very large, with heads still attached. For us, I'm most often seeking "mediums" for our our cooking, but once in a while, the "small'' are great for cocktails, to use in sandwiches, stir-fries, and the like, and the "large" or "very large" can make some yummy dinner treats. The shrimp are priced by the kilo, and the friendly and accommodating staff will always provide you with as much or little as you wish. I like this little pescaderia, have been shopping there for several years, and have never had a problem with the quality of products purchased.

Mexican candy is tasty and made with love. You are greeted with a friendly kind employee offering samples of nuts or varying candies produced on site. You can sample nearly everything so if it isn't offered, make sure you ask! I always go for the candied nuts, but wanted to try out some new options this time. I had my mom with me and it was her first time in PV. We sampled all kinds of goodies and got some explanations for others. Everyone speaks enough English to communicate effectively if you don't speak any Spanish. The candy maker was hard at work making sweet caramel cookies. I really enjoy witnessing the labor of love that goes into the items I buy. That coconut caramel pecan cookie was delectable!

Tintoque, tucked away in an unassuming neighborhood of Puerto Vallarta, exceeded our expectations in every way. Upon making a reservation, we were promptly seated and given the option to dine outside with a captivating water view or inside, which we chose to avoid any potential bug encounters. To kick off our evening, we ordered a dry gin martini that was nothing short of extraordinary. We complemented our meal with a delightful bottle of Cabernet from Mexico. The menu at Tintoque offers two enticing options: a tasting menu, priced at around 2100 pesos or à la carte. Opting for the latter, we embarked on a culinary journey that left us spellbound. The evening commenced with an amuse-bouche - delicate mushrooms delicately perched on a chip. Our appetizers, the otoro and tomato dishes, were revelations of flavor and presentation. The otoro, blended high-quality fish and perfectly seasoned sushi rice that melted in our mouths. The tomato dish was a triumph, disguising the fruit as a delectable dessert. A must-try! The only minor disappointment was the bread, toasted when we'd preferred it not to be. Moving on to the second course, we selected the octopus and dumplings, both of which were exceptional. The octopus, tender and plentiful, was served with piping-hot, fluffy pita bread and a delicious sauce that left us craving more. The dumplings were a flavor explosion, and the addition of fried shrimp heads provided a delightful crunch. Our taste adventure was so fulfilling that we couldn't find room for a main course. We concluded our evening with a sticky toffee pudding that was pure decadence - a soft, sumptuous cake paired with tart ice cream, showcasing Tintoque's creative flair. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring our every need was met. The ambiance, with dimly lit surroundings and well-spaced tables, was romantic and inviting. The only minor quibble was the air conditioning, which could have been better directed away from diners. Tintoque is a gem in Puerto Vallarta's dining scene, a place where culinary artistry meets warm hospitality. It's an experience worth savoring read more
