Mariachi season is from November to June - we don't have mariachi during the summer.
The Iguana Restaurant open-air restaurant overlooks the city of Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay, serves contemporary Mexican cuisine in an elegant but informal ambiance. Retractable walls take advantage of gentle coastal breezes and crystal chandeliers add soft light while water dances in the adjacent courtyard fountain. The dining room wraps around to an outdoor patio with shady palms and another central fountain. In between is nestled the boutique Tequila Bar, serving a wide array of top-flight tequilas and mezcals, all made within driving distance of Casa Kimberly in the legendary region of Jalisco. Executive Chef Jesús Suastegui has created a menu blending traditional Mexican dishes with modern culinary influences. Fresh, local and seasonal are his guiding principles.

El lugar hermoso, nos decepcionó el plato principal de mi esposa, la pesca del día, tal parece que fue un pescado descongelado y no fresco ya que estaba muy reseco y sin sabor Mi chamorro de cerdo bastante bueno.

Everything was fabulous….service exceptional, ambiance superb, cocktail perfecto, salads wonderful and the poblano black bean soup great flavor but our entrees and desert were so so! We had the wild salmon and crab tacos and they lacked flavor especially after the 1st two courses and the flan was nothing exceptional.

It was the most beautiful experience we’ve had in Puerto Vallarta! The food is excellent and we are foodies! The fantastic mariachis made it extra special and I actually got emotional during one of the songs. We will never go to PV without a visit to the Iguana! Our table was outside and had incredible views as well!
