This store also sells a handful of local Puerto Vallarta souvenirs with great prices. The owner was very nice and excellent service. Dulcería Leal also sells select locally made tequila and wines and liquors from Mexico. It is located in Zona Romántica, not far from the boardwalk, overlooking the ocean. I highly recommend. Cheers

We visited this place on a PV Taco Tour and loved it!! We loved it so much we went a couple nights…read morelater. They actually have a good looking food menu, but our focus was on the amazing chocolates. I have to say they have exquisite chocolates from the trending dubai chocolates, coffee bean chocolates, and tequila flavored. Service was sweet and the interior was charming. Everything is made using their cocoa beans.

We sat and enjoyed a piece of chocolate, beer and a chocolate martini. All the items were absolutely delicious! They have plenty of seating. Make sure you put this on your to do list.

It's really.a party store but I estimate about three quarters of the store is filed with candy. and it's cheap. Chechnya out the photo of what I got for less then 80 pesos (about 4 bucks). They have great stuff. some of it you can't find in the states. Last year I took a bunch to work and my coworkers were so happy....some even they didn't know. it's not fancy. its open in the front, so no air conditioning. Also be aware no one there speaks English. They always seem surprised to see a tourist, but they are always kind and turn the screen so I can see how much to give them. tip get the Japanese Nishiyams. it's peanuts in a crunchy shell. they sell packs of single servings! now if the would get the ice flavored ones like Oxxo!

Had such a beautiful experience learning the process of the cacao bean, our group was 6 people sat around a large table on the second floor. The building has steep stairs and is right off of the Main Street el centro. The experience began and was lead by Lizzette, who was the best at explaining everything with ease, clarity and patience, she was intelligent and precise, it is apparent that she loves her job and is passionate about mesoamerica. The workshop was hands on and began with toasting beans, We explored a Spanish church version of a hot chocolate recipe that was kept secret for over 200 years! We learned much history through the lesson and the group had great questions. Gracias Lizette por todo tu conocimiento y amor por lo que haces. Estoy orgullosa de ti y espero que siempre sepas que hay personas que realmente te admiran.

This review is based on the mini workshop aimed at kids…read more I'm thinking the high average rating of this place is from the actual workshops that are not the mini one tailored to kids. The workshop advertises itself as a place to "make chocolate"; I guess I interpreted this a little too literally. The workshop consisted of literally pouring melted chocolate into molds and then adding some toppings like nuts or sprinkles to it. While this was very fun for my daughter who is a toddler, I felt ripped off for this experience. Furthermore, that you aren't even provided enough chocolate to complete your molds is a little disappointing in my opinion. Others in my group seemed to agree. The chocolate itself is very pricy, especially for the quality. It was more expensive than the pricier bars I've seen at Whole Foods. However, if you go to the botanical gardens, this chocolate is sold there but for about 25% more than what is in the shop. It also would have been nice to have had dark chocolate as an option for the experience. I think just having one type (milk chocolate) is an easy way for choco museum to improve. While our host was friendly and informative, it felt like a stretch to call this place a museum. I did learn stuff, but it seems you could only access the "museum" if you paid for a workshop.

We ended up purchasing quite a bit for ourselves and for family back home. The candies make for great gifts. Bottom line is that I recommend dropping by here when you are in Puerto Vallarta.

I did some research and found out that the food tours visit this candy shop so we decided to give…read moreit a try. This is a great place to get candied nuts for only about 25-50 pesos a bag ($1.50-$3.00 usd). They have a wide assortment of tamarind candies and if you like the circular De la Rosa peanut candies, they have something similar that is a different brand but taste less sweet. The good thing is that they accept visa. If you have a credit card that does not charge foreign transaction fee then paying by credit card would be best since you'll get the best exchange rate. The correct address is shown on the business card in the photo section (284 Augustin rodriguez) If you are looking to buy souvenirs then there is an indoor flea market just a few doors down called the Mercado municipal city market on starting at the corner of highway 200 and Augustin Rodriguez. There will be a lot of vendors selling the same things so price is more competitive there.
