I recently moved to Mexico. I found this cute little square tucked back in a Marketplace where I…read morebuy my groceries. Hanna was so nice and helpful. She gave me the cut that I requested and her prices are very fair. The coolers at the front of the counter may have some shrimp or oysters for you to take home. It is so nice to see a woman and lifetime resident take on a business that is normally dominated by men. Stop by and say hello.

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.

This very small, "hole-in-the-wall" in size, fish market, is on Constitucion, directly across the…read morestreet from where the entrance and exit to the former Rizo's Supermercado were located. 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.

Also, they have candy, nuts, and flavored nuts that they make in the store. They also have natural fruit roll ups without sugar. The owner is incredibly nice and generous with his samples.

The area itself is better than many areas in PV The store has lots of good fresh produce - veggies, fruits and herbs. Some of it were at a very good price when compared to Canada. Some berries from Mexico were expensive. They had lots of breads, tacos, fajitas made right on premises. Surprisingly there are lots of vegan milks - oat, soy and almond. 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.

On par with any Michelin star restaurant. Hands down my favorite restaurant I have ever been to…read more Their tasting menu is out of this world. Pair it with the wine, however be careful. They have an ever changing tasting menu that caters to the season in which it is in. None of the items are bad. A restaurant like this would be several hundreds of dollars if you visited in the states. The service is beyond kind and understanding with the language barrier. If the weather is nice I highly recommend sitting outside along the river. It's incredibly romantic. Please visit this restaurant if you are reading this. You won't regret it!

We've loved Tintoque for dinner for years, so it was a fun surprise to discover that their brunch…read moreis 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.

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!
