   Outstanding! By far the best food we have experienced in Puerto Vallarta. There is good food everywhere in the area, but the flavors, quality, creativity, presentation and service were the best!

   The food, restaurant ambiance, and service are all wonderful. We went on a Sunday night and sat on the terrace. A restaurant or club across the river had very loud music, making it hard to have a conversation. Other than that -- wonderful!

    Truly one of the best meals I've ever had. I'm used to fine dining, but the overall experience at Tintoque was above and beyond. The food was innovative, perfectly prepared, fresh and served elegantly. The atmosphere is calm and beautiful and the service is impeccable. A very memorable dining experience.

    A beautiful venue right on the Cuale River surrounded by centuries old trees. exceptional service and amazing food. Very unique interpretations - don’t miss the steak “empanada”. 10 days later and I’m still craving it!!

    Fabulous time at Tintoque! The service was impeccable and they were so great about food allergies. Fried octopus, sashimi, baba ghanoush for appetizers were so flavorful. We had the lamb, short ribs and corn dish for mains. Amazing! We will definitely come back!

    Both of our appetizers were great - the tomato salad and the tempura fried octopus. For entrees I ordered the Catch of the Day, which was snapper in curry sauce. It was outstanding. My husband had the Panang noodles. He was disappointed.

    My second time at this restaurant. Overall a pleasant experience, I did the tasting menu without wine pairing. I didn’t feel rushed which was a big plus. The food is imaginative. Come with someone who is not too fussy when it comes to food since some items could be too much for a picky eater (fish essence jello for example). I like that they change their menu often enough to keep it interesting. Was it the best meal I have had in Puerto Vallarta? No. But I think I will be back once the menu is updated. It’s a matter of preference, but I wouldn’t sit outside - I couldn’t stand the smell of the river and the bugs. But most of the outside tables were taken, so maybe it wasn’t a big deal for others. The drinks are pretty interesting and they have a great wine selection.

    Too many flies in the dining room. Cuisine is based on Asian or Mexicans but not fused to create a distinctive style. Overall good with spots of disappointment. Service attentive.

    Lovely setting and food. Pricey but fair for the quality and presentation. Service a bit spotty. We were turned off by having the waiter serve the plates and then shine a flashlight on each to show us how wonderful. Try to avoid tables near restrooms. Lots of commotion and very squeaky doors. Great evening, best wine was Mexican red from Baja. Will return.

    A foodie destination . Expect some unnecessary gimmicky things, eg. a rubber glove to pick up a crab croquette which comes served in an empty shell of a crustacean filled with tiny pebbles. Watch out fhe Little rocks don’t get stuck on the croquette and accidentally bite into it. You’ll crack a tooth. Service was very good and the food was well seasoned. A special occasion place with prices to match.

    I booked Tintoque restaurant 2 weeks in advance for our anniversary. I specifically mentioned it in reservation. Upon arrival nobody mentioned anything, so I reminded them that it is our anniversary. There are two types of seating: outside on the terrace and inside. They tried to give us a table without any view that did not look good. Apparently, they give tables away upon guests’ arrival without looking at reservations and trying to make feel people special on their special days. So, we just went inside. The waitress suggested us to order a tasting menu as their most popular. The price per person was 1,600 pesos that is a lot for Mexico. It is, probably, the most expensive restaurant in Puerto Vallarta. Need to mention, that my husband and I have been to the best restaurants in the world and tried many times different tasting menus. This one was mediocre. The portions were not even small, but extremely tiny. The texture was not pleasant. At the end of the meal we were hungry. But the worst part - we did not enjoy it at all! We paid our bill, and nobody even mentioned our anniversary! Then, why even bother to ask about special occasion?! Terrible management! We live in Puerto Vallarta and will never go there again.

    We had an amazing experience! The staff were so attentive and friendly. We did the tasting menu and it was phenomenal. It will be a pricier meal but worth every penny. One of us is vegetarian and they were able to quickly cater the set menu to that, we were very impressed. Perfect spot for a romantic date night.

    There are amazing places in Puerto Vallarta to eat, this is NOT one of them! There are some amazing top tier restaurants all over the world, this is NOT one of them! I would recommend staying away unless you would like to pay for the following: Plates chipped? √ Seated next to bathroom? √ Tasting menu over salted? √ Glass candle holders filled with old grey water? √ Undercooked fish that you have to send back? √ Servers that rush you through a meal? √ I honestly do not know why anyone would torture themselves with this restaurant.

    As fantastic as ever!! If you are adventuresome and seek truly uniquely creative cuisine emphasizing local ingredients, Tintoque is for you. *The* tomato was great as always, but all the other courses on the tasting menu were also outstanding--and nicely contrastive. The regular wine pairings were also excellent and highly unusual. Surely only wine experts would know any of them. In any case, all wine accompaniments are named on the menu, so you may judge for yourself. The service was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, with descriptions of everything. The ambience in the new location is also very attractive. I cannot wait until my next visit.

    This was an incredibly memorable dinner for the two of us. Our table was on the balcony overlooking the river and was quite comfortable temp wise. The ambiance was unique and delightful. Service was excellent. We had the special lamb preparation (pieza de cordro) for our main dish - this was the best meat dish I have ever eaten, not just lamb, but any meat preparation and I've had in many restaurants in many countries. The hors d’oeuvre miniature taco treat was scrumptious. The presentation, tenderness and flavor of the octopus appetizer (tentaculos de pulpo) was outstanding - we hadn't had octopus this tender before). We also enjoyed the psidum guajava. The only less than outstanding was the wine we chose - a cab franc and a cab savignon that weren't up to par with others we've had at a similar price, but we went with the Mexican vintages for a full in-country experience.

    Wonderful flavors. The menu could be finely whimsical but they push it too far into gimmick = the deconstructed empanada, the foie gras milky way bar, the gelato encased in a jelly flying saucer, the over kill of truffle on the filet - please tone it back a touch. Service is sincere but shaky (like the chef). The room is perfectly nice. For PV this is one of the three or four best places to dine. Some advice for the well-traveled.... remember you are in a tourist backwater and adjust your expectations. Tintoque is a pleasant night out but don't expect International standards. Over priced for this market and the value they deliver.

    Good food, but not mind-blowing. My wife and I wish we had the prix fixe, but were concerned about the kids’ attention span, so we ordered a là carte. The kids (six and nine and we’ll-behaved, tolerant and adventurous kids) were very young for this setting, but were well looked after by the staff. Rosa, our waitress, was attentive, patient, and professional. We spotted the chef, and he attended other tables, but not ours. (hint: want to be ingratiated by parents in any situation? Acknowledge peoples’ kids.) The food was exceptionally well presented, and the amuse-bouche were well-timed. The cocktails were good, but I’m not a cocktail snob. The wine list was great, and we drank a very good Spanish rosé. Our fried octopus was great, but not unique. The bread and butter was good, though I am an experienced baker and incorrigible bread snob, and the bread was only good enough, but did not stand out from many other breads I’ve eaten. The kids ate steak frites, which everyone agreed was very good. I imagine children in a setting like this is a limited market, but it would be good to have another option to suit them. Adults ate a grilled local hen, which was good, but not an revolution in the Cornish hen field, and a kinda multi-corn grits made with local corns, but the truffles were so heavily applied whatever more delicate flavour the grits held was lost.
