    Filet mignon steak with mushroom sauce

    I so wanted to like my food at this restaurant, because it was packed and I thought how could I go wrong. Well, I ordered the most expensive item on the menu, the filet mignon steak. I ordered the play cooked medium rare, and it was the worst filet cut I've ever received. It was so full of gristle and fat, I couldn't cut into it with my steak knife. I don't even really know what it tasted like, because every mouthful, I had to basically spit it back out on my plate. I have cooked many a fillet myself, so you can tell instantly if there's something wrong with the meat before it is cooked, so I don't know how the chef could've mistakenly served me a such a poor piece of fillet. When I saw the meat, it was covered in a mushroom sauce, so it's hard to see it, but when I remove the sauce, the piece of meat was unidentifiable. Long story short, I would not recommend ordering the fillet mignon steak. So disappointing.

    First off, there was a line in frot of Tony's Please, the measure of a good restaurant. A family place, it was established in 1978. According to regulars we spoke with in line, the second generation was now in charge. I'm an American visiting Mexico. I don't know why I would think that just because a dish had an American name that it would taste anything like what I was used to. My date ordered the Chicken Parmesan. It arrived looking like flat pieces of chicken with something wrapped around it. No pasta, no smothering red sauce. I ordered chicken livers, thinking I'd get a big old mess of greasy fried livers. What I got was little chunks of liver smothered in a brown gravy. I took a picture of both dishes to prove to friends back home just how bizarre people here mistakenly cooked these dishes. Contempt prior to investigation came to mind as we began to taste.... Wowsers!! The chicken parmesan was actually encrusted with melted cheese. It was probably one of the most interesting recipes I've ever tasted. Nothing like the chicken parmesan I'm used to, but far, far better. There was just a little drizzle of a sauce on the side of the plate that tasted like a very light red sauce, maybe like a vodka sauce. It was simply used for dipping. It wasn't smothered like we're used to in the states. ¡delicioso! Now, the livers. I don't eat them often, but every now and then I get a craving. Our neighbor had them the night before and said they were really good. When I saw them I was very disappointed. One of the reasons I like them back home is because I can cover them with ketchup. I know it's weird, but that's just the way I eat them. And really by themselves, they don't taste so good, that's why I use ketchup. I hesitated, took a bite. SURPRISE!! I didn't need ketchup! They were cooked just right without breading and the brown gravy was light in taste, adding just a bit of cover-up for the livers. Cleaned my plate and felt bad that I'd felt betrayed in the beginning. Bottom line: if you think you are going into Tony's Please to get an American dish, I'm telling you now that you'd be wrong! They do take reservations, but no credit cards. With tip, we paid $530 pesos. Very reasonable for the splash of flavors!

    Year after year, this family operated restaurant continues to serve up great hospitality and food. Off the beaten path but any foodie visiting Puerto Vallarta will be thrilled with this place. Their broccoli or avocado soups are a great starter. All menu items served with a house salad. Without a doubt the best shrimp crepes I have ever eaten. The sauce is something dreams are made of. If you are a meat eater: steaks are served to perfection! Full bar. Cash only. A must try.

    Go there every year always great food and very friendly will be there on Friday at noon 12am July 21 for a great

    Yummy bread

    I have been coming to PV for many years and just learned about this restaurant. I have some dietary restrictions that were well taken care of. Good food, good value and family run since 1978. I'll be back before I leave this trip. I was craving vegetables and fish. Home run!!

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

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

We both ordered margaritas and they brought chips and pico de gallo. We also ordered the tuna sashimi. This was our favorite dish of the night. A huge platter of tuna served with crusty bread. It was unique and delicious! I also ordered the pirey. The frijoles and guacamole were yummy as was the stuffing. I found the fish and sauce a bit mild. My partner ordered the octopus and snail. He loved it. This was his favorite restaurant of the trip, and he was ready to return the next day. I'd definitely recommend this for the uniqueness and flavors.
