   Went first day of Restaurant Week. Found out Makal didn’t officially start for a day or two, but they gave us a similar experience. Appreciate their flexibility. Owner and staff were attentive and very friendly. Fairly new establishment, definitely fine dining. Portions are set up for everyone to order a 2-3 course meal. So plan accordingly. The food and presentation was lovely. Each course was interesting and delicious. We were very satisfied at the end of the meal. Wines are upscale and priced as such, but that is compared to PV. Not the markup we see in the US. Very nice selection to choose from. Wine service was excellent. We loved our dinner and the ambiance. This will definitely include it in our list of go to restaurants.

    The restaurant is located on one of the busier nightlife streets in PVR, so there's a lively feeling outside. Inside the decor is simple but tasteful. The food was superb, all specialty items that were carefully prepared. Makal offers an elaborate pre-fixe tasting menu that was more food than we needed, but it was intriguing.

    Girls night out to celebrate birthday. The food was delicious but we were seated in back at a dirty table and the service was sketchy and several times we had to wait for drink refills and help. Just okay. But the food was delicious.

    Food and service were outstanding and special. My only recommendation would be to think about lighting and setting ambience to a warmer experience. The lighting is super bright and stark. Just a thought to consider. Thank you for a lovely evening!

    I did the tasting menu, which is basically a small portion of everything on their main menu. Service was great. The wine selection is limited- they didn’t have a lot of the wines I wanted.

    We had a wonderful time at Makal, and the food was just outstanding. On our server’s suggestion I tried the mushroom ceviche (this would normally not be my “go to” dish) and it was one of the best dishes I had in a week of dining out (and dining well) in Puerto Vallarta. Everything was really spectacular and the staff was engaging and obviously excited about the menu they were serving. No pretension whatsoever, but very inventive food on a very high level. Our only regret was that we didn’t quite feel up to the tasting menu, but we will definitely be back to try that!

    What a special find in PVR! Wandered in on a night where two chefs, one from Mikal and one from their sister restaurant, Lomo42 had designed a collaborative meal. It was phenomenal. These two young men did an amazing job. I tried things I never would have, like Octopus, and loved every bite. This place has a bright future if this was the sample of what can be done. Priced reasonably and service was personal, sweet and engaged. Highly recommend.

    Waitress seemed to really steer us towards the multi course tasting menu. We had the 7 course one and did enjoy it. My husband was looking for a single glass of wine, they seem to sell only bottles. The waitress then pointed at something on the menu and my husband nodded, turns out each 3 ounce pour was 450 pesos, no prices on their menu! I had one of their delicious specialty cocktails for 195 pesos. The entire evening was great and the service fairly attentive. We will return.

    Excellent service since walking in. They made a dark and stormy cocktail that wasn’t on the menu and it turned out better than any dark and stormy i had in the states. Im vegetarian and the Mushroom ceviche was to DIE for. I hade the cauliflower entree and my husband (meat eater) had the pulled pork. Everything was delicious. Impeccable service!!! 5 stars!

    There were 5 of us, 2 had the 7 course tasting menu, 2 did a la carte, and I did the 10 course tasting menu. Everything was fantastic, from the amuse bouche and cocktails to the passionfruit palette cleanser and the churros. I've already recommended it to friends going to Puerto Vallarta in May and another set of friends going in July.

    Discovered Makal last year and couldn’t wait to return. The food was amazing, every course was delicious. Started with the lamb tacos, followed by the amazing pork and luckily we all ordered a different dessert so got to sample them all. I loved the churros with the Mexican whiskey ice cream. Interesting cocktails and a nice selection of local wines. In addition to the great food, the service was friendly and welcoming. We will be back again this trip.
