Mi Querencia: Reviews & Ratings
Nice restaurant in front of the beach. We loved the food. Guacamole as a side dish is highly recommended. Fajita and quesadillas were also good. Everything was simple and tasty. Mexican coffee was delicious. Service was a bit slow. We had to wait for an hour for our food. Update: we went there a second time and liked it even more. Tried veg molcajetes this time and liked it. All the veggies with cactus were great. Tamarind Margarita was too good - best flavored Margarita I ever had!
Came here twice during our stay in PV with my parents, husband and our toddler. Once for lunch and once for breakfast. Awesome location. Great service and kid friendly!
I love this restaurant and have been coming here for 15 years. The breakfast is my favorite. You can get fresh, pressed juice that is fantastic and very affordable. Many people don't care for mole' but it's one of my favorite dishes and this place mole' sauce is the best I've ever had. Rich, chocolate, and nutty flavors coat their chicken enchiladas and their beans here just taste different are are fantastic with some chips. The staff here is very nice and the lead server has been working here for probably as many years as I've been coming and is a wonderful person. Very friendly, upbeat, and an excellent waiter.
One of my favorite spots for breakfast! Perfectly located in a great area with plenty of other restaurants, cafes, and bars situated overlooking the malecon. They have a great selection of breakfast dishes of perfectly cooked meats and homemade tortillas. The house salsa is excellent.
After getting the mocajete last year, my wife and I agreed this was a MUST HAVE this time around. Think it was even better. Got the guacamole too. Best we’ve ever had. My son got the enchiladas and I asked the staff to take the plate away before he eats it. Service is flawless and the table side mariachi serenade just put the whole experience over the top. Seriously worth taking a one day trip just to hit this place.
Food was great. Had molcajete for the first time and highly recommend it. Daniel was very prompt with his service. Watching Diana make guacamole at the table was fun.
One of our favs in PV. Good atmosphere, good food. Strolling musicians swing by from time to time (they are worth the 150 pesos for a song). Always enjoy our time here.
First time in Puerto Vallarta, we decide to try this place before we heads up to our accommodation and it did not fail us. Service is really good and staff are very friendly and approachable. The food are really tasty and portions are very generous too. Atmosphere is very relaxing.
