Wonderful, very creative food in low key, causal space. Service great, big wine pour. Good music but speaker level a bit too loud. Had a lovely evening. Highly recommend

About the restaurant
Raíces Resto Bar se encuentra ubicado en una Casona de época de la colonia más antigua de Puerto Vallarta: Emiliano Zapata. La historia de nuestra casona y el árbol más grande de la ciudad son sólo el inicio de una experiencia culinaria única en la región. Nuestro chef Gonzalo Nogueira creó platillos exclusivos cocinados casi en su totalidad a las brasas. Sabores ahumados, tatemados e intensos son algunas de nuestras principales características. Nuestro bar dará paso a tragos artesanales que están directamente relacionados con nuestro nombre. Contamos con 3 espacios diferentes para que el comensal pueda contar con nosotros para todo tipo de ocasión. Un comedor semi cerrado principal, una sala con aire acondicionado más cerrada e íntima y un gran patio exterior son escenarios irresistibles a la hora de compartir un evento en pareja o con amigos.
La búsqueda continua para una atención de excelencia cierra nuestra propuesta dándole forma a una experiencia nueva y sofisticada.

I booked this for a special dinner for my adult niece. She and her husband said it was the best food they ever had! Also, the dessert cake was absolutely wonderful. This is a very good choice for a special occasion restaurant!

About the restaurant
NUMŌH is the inverse name of "Homún" (our first restaurant name) which comes from combining "Ho", for home, and "mún", for common. A composition that reflects the philosophy of the place as a common space where everyone meets to enjoy delicious food, delicious drinks and a relaxed atmosphere that will make you live an exceptional dining experience.
Chef Mario Borja seeks through his "free cuisine" to express a culinary format that is based on the simple fact of cooking what we like to eat, without pretension, respecting the balance of flavors, the good execution of the technique and the fresh seasonal product.
The menu is composed of options with local seafood such as the Meunière catch of the day a, grilled prawns, tuna ceviche to fine cuts such as the NY and a wide variety of appetizers that will complement the table and the snack accompanying your favorite wine or cocktail. .

As always, the food and service were excellent. The frog legs were the best, and the carrot cake was so good.

During the low season (from July 23rd to October 13th), we operate with 2 service times: 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM, and we close at 4:00 PM.

High season hours (starting October 15th) will be 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 3:00 PM, with closing time at 5:00 PM.

To make a reservation, the system requires a non-refundable prepayment of $120 pesos per person for round-trip boat transportation. This amount is not refundable in case of cancellations or no-shows. If you hike in or arrive by your own boat, this payment will serve as a deposit and will be deducted from your bill on the day of your visit.

By making a reservation, you acknowledge and accept our reservation policies. Please visit our website for more information.

Please note; our weather and waves can change on a moment's notice. We may have to cancel the water taxi and close the restaurant if the waves are too high. This only happens occasionally but if we do you will receive a text on the phone number you leave with open table.
