    Music or noise from adjacent church was obnoxious during first part of meal. Ultimately Iguana mariachi group performed and was quite good.

    So romantic and tasty. Be sure to try the squash blossoms and short ribs dishes. Very delicate and flavorful.

    One of the most spectacular views you will see in Puerto Vallarta is right here at this amazing restaurant. The mariachis made the whole scene amazing. This is the first time in visit. The entire place was packed with people. It appeared like some conventions were in town, but it was an amazing night and something. Everyone should experience when they come in Puerto Vallarta.
