    We had a pleasant evening with great service, but the food fell a bit short of expectations. The burrata dish was overly salty, and while the fried shrimp was flavorful, it was overwhelmed by too much sauce, making it difficult to finish. This was my second visit, and I had previously recommended this restaurant to many friends, but unfortunately, after this experience, I’m unsure if I’ll return.

    Tintoque has very flavorful and interesting food. I would highly recommend this place for foodies. We sat on the back patio, which overlooks a dry river bed (it could be wet during the rainy season). The patio is nicely done and comfortable. Even though it was a cool night, there was an oscillating fan running, which was a little loud and distracting, but otherwise, the patio was very nice. Our wait staff was very attentive. We started with margaritas and then ordered a bottle of Italian wine. The wine list is extensive, and more expensive than expected, which seems typical for Mexico. The best part was the food! They brought a nice muse bouch. There were two of us, and we ordered two items for sharing and then two entrees. All courses were very generous and we could have shared fewer items. The dishes were very creative and well-presented. We highlight recommend this place.

    The food was excellent. This was our second visit and we'll be back. Our server, David, was completely on top of things. Very professional. The music was way too loud for a fine dining restaurant. It took multiple asks for the staff to turn down the volume so we could talk without shouting at a table for 6. I recommend fixing this issue. Having blasting music is not the atmosphere for a restaurant at this price point. It's not a Malecon bar. There's plenty of loud music to be found elsewhere in Vallarta.

    A hidden gem in Puerto Vallarta. Creative cocktails to start, followed by wonderful sourdough and other bread to start appetizers. Entrees to suit most any taste. Service was 5 star - Thank you Alexis and Oswaldo! A bit on the pricey side for PV, but an outstanding special experience for our group of 8. Gracias.

    Several years ago, Tintoque, officially earned a spot on my "must-return" list. This restaurant isn't just good, it's an experience. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the passion and creativity that goes into every dish. The menu is innovative and exciting, showcasing a clear understanding of flavor profiles and a willingness to push culinary boundaries. Each plate is a work of art, beautifully presented and bursting with deliciousness. It's rare to find such a high level of culinary artistry at such a palatable price point. If you consider yourself a foodie, Tintoque is an absolute must-visit. Don't miss out on this gem in Puerto Vallarta! You won't be disappointed.

    All dishes are embellished, overly seasoned, and overwhelm the true ingredient's essentiality.Again, it is my conviction, someone may accolade.
