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!
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.
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!
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.
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.

Tintoque is an upscale restaurant, offering a creative take on dishes that are inspired by the surrounding area and local ingredients. It's a lovely building with a really nice patio overlooking a river. I dined here on a recent trip to Puerto Vallarta, opting to do their 8 course tasting menu with wine pairings. I was fortunate enough to get a same day reservation, but did take a 9pm seating in order to get in the same day. I'd definitely check out Open Table ahead of time or call a few days before to try and reserve a more ideal time slot as well as request a table on the patio overlooking the river. Both the food and the service were amazing. Even though we were one of the last tables we still had great service and never felt rushed to leave. With each wine pairing the sommelier came out and described what we were drinking and how it paired with the next dish. The flavors of each dish were very wonderful and paired nicely with the wines. I highly recommend dining here for any special occasion - even if that's just celebrating life! read more
The food, service, and atmosphere at Tintoque were wonderful! The price point was a bit high, but luckily the food was delicious. I had the rye bao and lobster dish. Both were incredible. We followed up dinner with a tasty dessert that was similar to a molten chocolate, but chilled with a cookie crumble base. Make a reservation and enjoy. Dress up or come casual. read more
Food: 6 stars Service: 5 stars Drinks: 4.5 stars Ambiance: 5 stars Value: 4 stars This was a fantastic surprise. We are no strangers to tasting menus and love high-end dining. Tintoque definitely delivered! We opted for the tasting menu and shared the wine pairing - the staff were able split each pairing between two glasses, allowing us to savor the pairing while still remembering the entire dinner. The 36 hour braised tomato, snicker foie gras and coconut fish and combava were some standouts for us. We loved every course except for one experimental course that wasn't even listed on the tasting menu (beef brain and cheese quesadilla). The ambiance on the back patio next to the river was fantastic. Staff even provided bug spray to fend off mosquitos if needed. Come here and opt for the tasting menu, but make sure you come hungry and set aside several hours. Dining here is an experience, and it is absolutely worth it! read more

Just wow. We've had a lot of tasting menu experiences and Tintoque may top our best ever list. A Michelin worthy experience. The dishes were incredible - the broccoli shrimp coconut risotto is one of my favorite things I've ever eaten. I loved the Mexican fusion concept with international twists of curry and warm spices. We tried both the regular and premium wine pairings and the selections for both were EXCELLENT and paired beautifully. The somm here knows his stuff and our waiter explained them so well. The service was excellent and the pacing was perfectly relaxed. Plus they accommodate allergy requirements with great alternatives. I can't say enough good things about this place. Go here if you can!!! read more

Absolutely EXCEPTIONAL experience. Wow - I can't say enough positives about this place. We did the tasting menu and each course was better than the next. Definitely worth the price. High recommend! read more
Wow Wow Wow! This is probably my favorite restaurant in PV. Absolutely stunning not only inside, the decor, the view, but also next to a river. They moved locations so was trying to suck in all the air and good vibes with friends. This was the 2nd fine dining restaurant in the heart of PV that we wanted to try. #1 in my book for sure. Estuvo delicioso! Rico, rico, y muyyyyyy rico! Dinner Menu: At Tintoque, while some seafood dishes are always featured, our "Creative Menu" offers specials that change daily based on the availability of unique, local, fresh ingredients and products. We had sushi style cuisine and there was a lot of plates that involved Mexican Mole. Since the menu changes it was difficult to write down here. We had a fried chicken dish, raw tuna belly, and a MOLE dish with a delicious piece of beef. Drinks: We paired everything with red wine and had their margarita signature cocktails and those were absolutely epic. Dessert: This was absolutely my favorite time as it came in a sushi box and it had an assorted different type of desserts. PLEASE GO HERE, this is MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT AND IT IS NEXT TO A RIVER. read more

I really was looking forward to Tintoque, but there wasn't one course that we were happy with entirely. Each course had promises of brilliance but in execution or lack of supervision ultimately disappointed. Drinks were $15US, and the quality did not warrant the price. My negroni had some charred something in a strip in it, on my last sip, I got a piece of plastic wrap the same size as the strip. The wine list was well curated, with a variety of classic and local offerings. The catch of the day was cooked to perfection but was paired with greens dressed only in oil. My companion enjoyed his salad. The enchilada's pork cheek was succulent and unctuous and crispy in all the right places, the tortilla on top was stale-crispy, not toasted crispy, and the pipian sauce was insipid. Halfway through an unpopped popcorn kernel was a bit of a shock. The "cheesecake that isn't" was not a mousse either, the little cakes in the box were nearly flavorless and the pannacotta-reminiscent bowl had a blue cheese tang that was challenging to enjoy. I need to say that the plating was always gorgeous and innovative, if only the flavors had been as well developed. We eat at Michelin star restaurants on occasion and enjoy fine dining, but this is sadly neither. In the end we wished we had saved the money for taco stands. If this was for food only, it would be one star, but the setting and service was pleasant, thus 2 stars. read more

I was invited to dinner here with a group of friends. I had never heard of this place and had no pre-conceived notions. I was really blown away. The atmosphere of the intimate space and patio above the river were wonderful. The food, wine and service were a highlight of my trip. I think between our group of 6 we tried everything on the menu. The selections I loved the most were... The soft shell crab: crunchy and delectable on a cloud of potato mousse with perfect seasoning. The baked tomatoes: balanced sweetness and perfect garnish made for a delight. The pork belly: crispy, well seasoned and an honor to each ingredient. Each plate was presented with care and executed so that each ingredient was apparent and accessible. Chef Joel took time to welcome us and explain the focus of his cuisine and how it translated to our plates. We all loved tasting each plate and talking about the complexity and execution. The plates were not large but not one of us was left hungry or unsatisfied. I would highly recommend Tintoque. In fact I have told everyone I met to visit this jewel of Vallarta. read more

The ambience of this place was beautiful despite the dried out creek it was supposed to overlook. This place seemed like it was going to be incredible from people posting reviews for it saying that it deserved Michelin Stars. Do NOT believe those reviews. The first couple courses almost...almost had me believing it was going to be good but the turn this place took went from good to terrible FAST. We paid $25 per drink in which we bought a lime drop and a Negroni. My husband's Negroni was mainly an ice cube. Value for drinks=TERRIBLE. We had these little mousse bouche samples at the start of the meal, a potato bite, something in apricot jam on a crunchy half pastry shell. I was happy to get the bite of snapper covered in sesame seed which was a great crunch to lead a meal -and then after that bite of goodness, this meal fell flat on its face. We asked the wait staff what that course was, and the waiter was so confused by the question he went back to the kitchen to confirm that it was indeed snapper. We had a weak coconut dashi broth and if you didn't get any coconut (my husband didn't get a sliver of it) you wouldn't know that it was a coconut dashi. There was this tomato bite covered in some clear jelly- this bite was the worst bite of the night- the sensation was like taking a big bite of cleaning detergent and trying to swallow it down. A cross of some kind of detergent-salt-and mint-battling to burn your tastebuds. We had a green soup with a white fish in it...the texture of that fish was slimy and rubbery and salty. At this point in the meal I'm convinced that the chef just lost the salt lid on the remaining dishes. No depth of flavor, hardly any seasoning but salt! Salt! Salt!! At some point in the meal I got up from my seat to locate the restroom and a gentleman that seemed to be in training asked what I needed. He was like a guard who directed me to the restroom. We were never offered another drink, which from the prices was probably a generosity from the establishment. The watered down ounces we did get weren't worth the $50 bucks any way. The time between courses felt like an eternity and each course was like an itty bitty mousse bouche worse than or smaller than the one before. Did I mention how salty everything was? This was not a satisfying meal. It felt like a total of 20 chews and then dessert time. By this point it felt like we were being held hostage by the time in between courses. The first desert was baby formula ice cream with -you guessed it-salt doused in it-strange powdery salty ice cream! We then got salted flan but it didn't seem like it was set, it was served with caviar dribbled on top. Maybe the caviar was meant to give the dessert texture where the flan fell down? We also received a pastry that was a hollow bun that was supposed to have fois gras in it. This was one of the better bites in the meal, but it was a chintzy excuse for a desert, three strikes and you're out for dessert right? Not for a special occasion. More salty vanilla ice cream, blackberries, raspberries and passion fruit seed to top the night off. The waitstaff seemed to know how bad everything was because with each explanation of the course they turned and ran off after delivering an incoherent description. I would not recommend this place for anyone in Puerto Vallarta-EXPENSIVE OVER RATED TOURIST TRAP- read more

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. You NEED to dine at Tintoque when you are in PV. This time around, I was super excited to try Cafe des Artistes. To be fair, they have a wonderful ambiance, but everything else was disappointing, which I won't go into too much detail here. I've also tried most of the other fancy establishments in PV, such as La Palapa, and Tintoque is the best by FAR. It would be an outstanding meal anywhere in the globe. (The only one left on my list in PV is La Leche which I have my doubts about.) Anyway, back to Tintoque. Delicious, innovative, excellent service, beautiful plating, gorgeous ambiance, and a very reasonable price to boot. We were celebrating an anniversary and they made us feel extra special. It's located in a quiet neighborhood of the Marina, a cheap Uber ride from anywhere you may happen to be staying, so - there's really no excuse. Come here and thank me later. read more

Absolutely spectacular. I did the tasting menu and was blown away. Each course is just 2-5 bites and full of flavor. They're incredibly creative and unique - I've never had most of those flavor combinations before. The presentations were also pure perfection. I've done several tasting menus and always enjoy them but this one has me wanting to lick the plate. This is not a good menu choice for picky eaters- but they do have a full menu you can order from and every dish that came out looked outstanding. read more

I want to personally thank those who operate this establishment. At their expense they replaced the hood fan for a more quiet one. It shows a dedication and respect for the neighborhood and community that they are in. I hope them many years of success and prosperity on every level. Thank you, Cameron. read more

I returned this week, 4 years later with my now teens. I got to enjoy the tasting menu and again we were completely spoiled by the staff. We love the new location. We love watching the chefs in the kitchen, creating their magic. Every single bite was delicious, but especially the "Bloody Mary" and the bluefin with curry and chili oil. read more

The best meal I've had in a loooooong time. From the white glove (literally) service, to the unexpected flavor combinations, this was far and away the best meal I had in Mexico, after 7 days of trying my hardest to make my jeans not fit on the way home. For the love of God, get the tasting menu. Michelin trained chef + locally sourced ingredients = a delightful experience. And the WINE! Shame on me for not knowing about Mexican wine. In hindsight it makes total sense, they have great terroir, and damn if that's not some of the better wine I've had in a long time. If you can only do one nice meal in PV, do this one. If you're staying at a resort, peel yourself off your beach chair, forget about the hotel steakhouse and march yourself over to Tintoque post haste! Nothing more to say, I was blown away. Hope these photos do some justice the the artistry that was our meal. read more

Tintoque was a charming dinner experience outside of the tacos and other spots that I was dining at. It's more upscale so in pesos, be ready to spend a little more than what you'd do out in Puerto Vallarta. Although if you convert it to USD, the prices are similar to what you'd spend in LA for a mid-range dinner. The ambience was very beautiful as I was seated on the corner outside patio that looked over the river bubbling by. The candle they had lit was a colorful glass jar so it made it look more romantic sitting there. My boyfriend and I ordered the foie gras "Milky Way" and empanada as the appetizers along with the deep fried octopus with the sweet potato puree. The foie gras was an interesting take as it had white chocolate encased over the foie gras like a Milk Way chocolate bar. It was the first kind of concept I've ever seen taken with the foie gras so it was pretty cool. Our favorite was the octopus dish as it was exploding with flavor! It was lightly crispy on the outside while the octopus was perfectly chewy on the inside. There were 2 dipping sauces - one that was mentioned was the sweet potato puree that had ponzu mixed with it. The other was a Sriracha based sauce with black/brown toasted sesame seeds on top, which was an impeccable combo. For the main dishes, we ordered the ribeye with garlic fries. This was cooked medium rare and it tasted great. The cuts were a bit bigger than expected so between two people, this was a perfect balance with the 3 appetizers we ordered. Our waiter also confirmed that the amount we ordered was enough for two people, and it was. We finished everything! The most underwhelming dish was the empanada as it was not as flavorful along with it being drenched with verde sauce. I guess if you're into wet burritos, this is the kind of dish you'd appreciate. For me, I would've preferred the sauce on the side so I could dip accordingly. That's my only comment but overall the dishes were created well and the presentation was nice. :) Thanks Tintoque and to our waiter, Joel who was very attentive to us during the whole stay. Our other waitress was also hospitable by offering me a shawl to use if I was too cold. This is available if the weather gets more chilly and I found that sweet. read more

I am updating. We were there to welcome 2020. 125 per person and we left hungry. The portions that evening were just too small. I couldn't help but think the chef is laughing all the way to the bank. The food was still very good but it's shameful to not offer a more substantive 6th course. Pictured is the Wagyu. We came back to the hotel and ordered room service. The faces of the couple In front of us said the same thing. They appeared incredulous. Sad. Wow. This was simply amazing. Went in for drinks and appetizers. Didn't matter to staff, they were attentive, friendly, spot on. I had 2 cocktails. Oh so smooth and flavorful. Had the octopus tamale and the pork belly taco. Flavors were out of this world. The cheesecake for desert was equally delicious. Can't wait to try read more

Can I say Omg, we are here on vacation from Los Angeles, CA. A friend of ours recommended this restaurant and I'm glad we came. This is a dining experience. I'm a complete foody and this restaurant has played on all of my taste buds. As a travel professional, I will recommend it to my clients when in Puerto Vallarta. Thank you, Marisol and staff, for the wonderful experience. read more

I debated between giving this restaurant a 4 star or a 5 star, as I think the true rating would be 4.5 stars...but I rounded up because the food, service and ambience was simply amazing. My husband and I ordered the tasting menu, which was around $55 USD per person and we were definitely satisfied. If you plan on coming here, I would 100% go with the tasting menu. There were 10 dishes, and each one was incredibly flavorful and unique. My absolute favorites were the sweet potato dish and the soursop dessert. The service was super attentive and the wait staff was very knowledgeable and kind. If you're in the mood for a flavorful, unique experience and are fine spending an extra few bucks, try out this place. You won't be disappointed. read more

The service here is impeccable and is definitely a treat. Have been here three times now and have ordered the chefs menu each time with wine pairing. Definitely recommend to do so if you can. Make sure to make reservations ahead of time so they can make sure they have ingredients for the menu. Cocktails here are tasty too!!! read more

Tintoque has the best service we have ever experienced at a restaurant in Mexico or anywhere else for that matter and the food is phenomenal. The waiters were kind, respectful, proactive, extremely attentive and genuinely seemed passionate and excited about the food they were serving. They carefully explained every dish and checked in with us to make sure everything was okay, but not so many times that it disrupted the meal. (In case you are worried, everyone we met spoke flawless English. Of course we try to speak as much Spanish as possible being here, but it is helpful). We did the 6 course meal and it was worth every penny (around $47 USD per person). Each course was somehow better than the last, bursting with mouthwatering flavors and displayed like a delicate piece of art. They have a "creative menu" that rotates based on availability and seasonality of ingredients. Our favorite dishes were the deconstructed shrimp tamales, the steak and the cheesecake mousse dessert. The ambiance is very modern yet classic. It was lively, but not so loud that you couldn't talk to each other. It's right near the Marina so you can walk along the water. We honestly wish we had discovered this place at the beginning of our stay instead of the end. We 100% would have come more than once. TIPS - They take reservations! We booked through OpenTable. - They're open to substitutions! I don't eat beef because of cultural reasons and they easily swapped out the steak course for pork belly tacos read more

We had dinner here on Valentine's day and it was a chef's choice meal. Every dish was absolutely stunning. I've dined at many fine restaurants around the world and this is at the top of my list. I especially like that salsas and other elements are served as side items allowing you to dial in your own spice level, each made for it's own dish. The menu was a trip around the culinary world, centered in some traditional Mexican cultural techniques. A lady was leaving as we were waiting to be seated and she just had to tell us how great it was, it was bursting out of her, she was emotional. About 5 minutes into our meal we fully understood. 6star foodgasmic. read more
