    El restaurants está muy bonito pero la verdad que no lleno mis expectativas para nada, los meseros poco profesionales charlaban y bromeaban entre ellos lo cual no se ve para nada profesional parecían más bien una reunión de amigos entre ellos en lugar de un ambiente de trabajo la comida muy básica nada me gustó en fin de todos los restaurantes que visite este fue el que menos me gustó no volvería a ir

    Great spot for a special occasion. The service was amazing. But it's a bit gimic-y for such a high price point. The food was good but overall I do not believe that should have been an $800 meal. The mirriachi band was superb!

    The classics, like tacos de canasta and tortas ahogadas, were good. Their salsas and complimentary tostadas were good as well. The drinks alcoholic and non-alcoholic were great. The entrees lacked so much. With all the hype I was super disappointed. The food was dry, and fairly flavorless. I was very surprised. They have club type music playing but the ambience is more of a steak house vibe. It was confusing.

    We live in the area and have been looking for a high end restaurant to frequent. We’ve been to some top notch places around the world, places with Michelin stars. We wanted to like Porfirio’s. We wanted a go to place. Unfortunately, that’s not what we found. The food was good but not outstanding and the drinks were ordinary. The service was good. The place was nice enough but the noise level, and by that I mean the music volume was almost unbearable. When we got there, the music level was ok, we could still hear each other and hear the waitstaff. As the evening went on, the volume kept getting louder and louder, the waitstaff standing off to the side certainly seemed to be enjoying it. By desert time, we could barely hear each other or the waitstaff and we couldn’t wait to leave. No after dinner drinks. Porfirio’s turned out to be a wannabe high end restaurant but in reality is just a mediocre touristy place where the loudness of the music far outweighs any positive elements.

    We chose PV over Cabo for this trip specifically because we wanted to celebrate my daughters 17th birthday at Porfirio’s. The food is fantastic, presentation and “show” with each entree make for a memorable experience and there’s no better birthday celebration anywhere in the world!

    El servicio es súper si quieres que te atiendan bien ve ahí .En cuestión de la comida si me dejó como que con la picardía de entender que serían los platillos algo más extraordinario probamos una sopa de tortilla estaba picante y muy espesa tostadas de atún estás se llevaron la noche y hasta yo me sorprendí después el short rib para comenzar la tortilla a mano muy seca y dura el aguacate no se veía fresco y le ponen un gravy o salsa arriba que la verdad no estaba tan agradable pero pues pasaba a final te recomendaría este lugar para hechar unos tragos y comerte un par de aperitivos con tus amigos escuchando buena musica.

    The food is great, the place is nice. But there are just too many people getting in contact with you 1) a hostess 2) a person who greets you at the table and hangs your bag 3) a person who offers you water 4) finally (!) your waiter appears 5) someone else brings you starters 6) someone else comes by to see if everything is fine every once in a while It should have been just a hostess and the waiter, perhaps one more person maximum. I understand that by showing you so much attention they are trying to do their best, but it just constantly creates interaction which is SO ANNOYING. I didn´t come to Porfirio's to interact with their staff - I came to spend time with my friend and our conversation was constantly interrupted. Time is the most valuable resource in life and I have felt that my time was not respected at all.

    Pésimo servicio del personal, tardaron demasiado para tomarnos la orden, nadie se acercó para preguntarnos cómo estaba la comida, que por cierto todo estaba sin sabor en especial nuestro corte, los meseros estaban más preocupados por atender la mesa de un lado, parados nos ignoraban cuando necesitábamos algo, estuvimos 20 minutos tratando de pedir la cuenta y nos ignoraban ni se acercaban, cuando llevaron la cuenta nadie iba a cobrarnos hasta que tuve que pararme para solicitar la terminal y me pudieran cobrar. Lo único bueno de esta experiencia fueron las bebidas

    The place is beautiful. We were so excited. But I have never seen an example where out of 8-10 dishes - not one had flavor or tasted good. We were floored that this could even happen. Such a shame. The one in Cancun is fantastic.

    I was expecting great things given the reputation but unfortunately it didn't quite live up to the hype. The staff were very friendly and the restaurant itself is beautifully decorated however it took over an hour to get someone to take our order, some of the food was cold, one dish was wrong and one side missing altogether. I suspect this is an isolated incident as the place looks well run but doubt I'll be returning to find out unfortunately.

    No es un mal restaurante, pero la carne y el pescado estaban mal preparados. crudo por dentro. el pastel de coco no es sabroso. decide por ti mismo lo bueno o lo malo. pero por estos precios puedes preguntar por el grado de asado de la carne.
