Comida exquisita en Casa Tradicional. La atención de primera y el ambiente inigualable. Gracias a Mony por la invitación. 🫂

Best Mexican Food Restaurant in the Área. Live Músic From 6:30 up to 900pm everynight. El mejor Restaurant de Comida Méxicana en el área. Música en vivo de las 6:30 hasta las 900pm todas las noches.

El Lugar es muy bonito, resalta toda la cultura mexicana. Los meseros son muy serviciales y atentos nos hicieron el favor de preparar una salsa picosa (riquísima) al momento. La cocina es totalmente tradicional mexicana (como su nombre lo dice): recomendado el molcajete de camarón, la sopa de tortilla y la tampiqueña. Tuvimos también la oportunidad de disfrutar de un trío acústico que amenizaba la comida.

Es hermoso el lugar y la comida deliciosa, los precios un poco altos, pero el servicio es tan bueno que lo olvidas

Buen lugar, excelente atención y los precios en promedio son 250 pesos por pesona, pero siiii vale la pena.

Ya hace unos meses que estuve en Vallarta y fui a comer con mis papás. Todo bien, el servicio un poquito overwhelming para ser honesta. Pero de ahí en más, excelente

Soy local y visité este restaurante. El servicio fue muy amable, el ambiente agradable y la comida deliciosa. Una experiencia que recomiendo

Mención honorífica! También esta dentro de mi Top10 en México. En éste sitio mandé llamar al Cheff para felicitarlo, honran la cocina mexicana, respetan los sabores LA FRESCURA y deleite de México. Toda una experiencia desde la construcción, esta casita colorida de México con sus copas de vidrio soplado ahí te sirven margaritas 🍸 (con esa identidad de Jalisco) hasta sus delicias. Las veces que he ido agregan platillos temporales como la “barbacoca” envuelta en hoja de plátano les dejo foto y su carne era magra, jugosa y perfecta en sabor. Enorme cortesía que te preguntan que tan picante deseas el guacamole y salsa! Se prepara en tu mesa. Son creativos, amables y todo es delicioso, deja un espacio para postre!

Been times it's like you add to what we found this place off the beaten pad next to the old Cathedral Church Food was incredible. The atmosphere was fantastic and the service was impeccable

Tony Papreck

Absolutely fantastic food, great cocktails in a very authentic setting with friendly efficient servers. The food is incredible and all orders come with their made to order at the table salsa, so delicious you will crave for more. Great location across from the Cathedral.

I absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere, the staff, and the food! It was a wonderful place to end our last night in Puerto Vallarta. I ordered the carnitas with corn tortillas and the sides were so yummy. One of the staff members comes over and even makes the salsa right in front of you and to your liking. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area and I will be back!

Ignacio was our head waiter much to our delight. He and his team ensured we had an excellent meal. The decorations, live music, and friendly staff serving flaming food all contributed to the festive atmosphere. Fresh salsa and guacamole is made at the table and was fabulous. Also, the margaritas are great.

We actually got Takeaway from which they are very accommodating. Probably our best meal in Puerto Vallarta. We got Chiles Rellenos with beef and Mole (had black mole with chicken). They were a bit on the pricey side, but worth every penny! Live music played at your table inside that we observed while waiting for our food. All of the people working that were above and beyond a kind.

This place delivers a full-scale production for your dining experience. You absolutely must check it out. From flaming dishes and live music on demand to expertly crafted drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails), every detail is thoughtfully executed. The customer service is truly exceptional, making you feel welcomed and well cared for from start to finish. And the food… outstanding. You haven’t truly experienced Mexican cuisine until you’ve dined at Casa Tradicional Cocina Mexicana. Every bite is rich, authentic, and unforgettable. P.S. A few well-known U.S. celebrities were seated next to our table: names withheld to respect their privacy 😉

Nothing bad to say about this place, food, location, atmosphere, and service were amazing. The inside was beautifully decorated and the staff were very polite and fun. get the fajitas for the show 😉

Ordered the Black Mole chicken - delicious and enough for 2 meals. Beans side good, too. Enjoyed tableside salsa and guacamole - salsa too spicy for my friends = more for me.

Courtney biegler

Casa Tradicional Cocina Mexicana never disappoints! Authentic Mexican dishes with incredible flavor — we loved the octopus, carnitas, and enchiladas. The service is always friendly and fast, with fresh table-side salsa and guacamole. Drinks are amazing too, made with real ingredients, not sugary mixes. Our third visit and still a favorite spot!

I found this restaurant from TikTok and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere is so cool & everything was so yummy. We got the tableside guac & salsa, highly recommend! The mixed mocajete was phenomenal and the perfect amount of food for 2 people. The margaritas were great & I love how they top it off with tequila right in front of you! Highly recommend if you are in the area 🔥

The restaurant is beautiful and serves novelty Alta Cocina Mexicana - food was outstanding, as were the beverages and entertaining servers. A great night out.

We ate at several restaurants during our trip, and this was our favorite. The salsa was made at our table, the food was delicious, the guitar trio that played for us was so talented and their music was beautiful. The ambiance was beautiful and calming. The service was incredible and we were not rushed or pressured. It felt like we stepped into a Mexican family and had a fun and delicious meal.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Casa Traditional Mexicano in Puerto Vallarta, and it was an unforgettable experience. We savored the Poblano Pepper and the Enchiladas with red sauce and beef—both dishes were bursting with incredible flavors that transported me back to my childhood, watching my grandma work her magic in the kitchen. The cozy and charming atmosphere truly complements the authentic and heartwarming cuisine. The restaurant is beautifully designed, creating a welcoming and intimate setting. On top of that, the customer service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring. I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant to anyone looking for a taste of traditional Mexican comfort food with a side of amazing ambiance. It’s a must-visit in Puerto Vallarta!

This place exceeded my expectations. I ordered the tuna steak, and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was lively and authentic, thanks to the live mariachi band that added a festive touch to the evening. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we felt welcomed throughout our visit. The decor is stunning, blending traditional Mexican charm with a modern twist. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend Casa Tradicional to anyone looking for quality food and a memorable night out.

They are so fun I love how the make the experience beyond.. The chile relleno was delicious and the salsas. Son muy divertidos; Me encanta cómo hacen que la experiencia sea más allá. El chile relleno estaba delicioso y las salsas.

Si tienes antojo de comida mexicana, aquí es bueno. Si eres vegetariano no pidas sopa de tortilla (tiene carne) y de ahí hay ensaladas y guacamole. Hay unos chicos que tocan música en vivo, la comida está lista muy rápido, los baños están limpios, amplia variedad en bebidas. Precios muy turísticos. + plus, el guacamole y la salsa picante te la hacen frente a ti y está super rica la salsa 👌

Realmente voy a ser sincera de mi impresión, los precios son altos, que por cierto en el menú que aparece en esta página no está actualizada, los sabores no compensan los precios, pedí crepa de huitlacoche, y estuvo x, el mole sabe cómo el de doña María , probé el molcajete de queso con cilantro x, la salsa martajada x algo que tenía pulpo estuvo exquisito, la picada muy rica la naranjada que pedí no es de naranja natural, es marca comercial, Pero no voy a ser injusta quizá porque como mexicana, ya conocemos los sabores tradicionales auténticos, es un restaurante para turistas extranjeros, el show el ambiente y todo. El restaurante es muy bonito el ambiente muy cómodo, los meseros excelentes, atienden muy rapido. 4 personas de las 7 que comimos, dejaron comida y no fue por abundancia.

Es una linda experiencia se comida mexicana gourmet. Preparan la salsa en la mesa. La salsa verde del queso gratinado lo es todo! La comida es muy rica

Fuimos 7pm aún había luz. Excelente atención. Las Margaritas son las tradicionales. El guacamole hecho en mesa, regalan la salsa poblana. Muy buena. Solo picamos pero fue suficiente con el aguachile de camarones picantosos! Volveríamos! El ambiente bueno. Si algo oscuro pero nada exagerado como leímos en los review. Lo pasamos muy bien después de ir a la catedral q queda a media cuadra!

Que tal amigas y amigos, ya saben que siempre hablo directo y sin rodeos. Hoy fui a este bonito restaurante: CASA TRADICIONAL COCINA MEXICANA. En Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. Al entrar me recibe una hostess y me da una mesa para 1 persona y me trae un bote con agua para abriri el apetito. El menú es sencillo y precios caros respecto a la comida que sirven, pero buen precio por el servicio que dan. Usted tómelo como vea. Tiene bonito concepto y se encuentra algo arreglado en su interior, una iluminación un poco obscura para ser restaurante de alimentos, si fuera Bar estaría genial la iluminación. Le falta un poco más de proyección y profundidad en la temática mexicana en el área del techo, poner paraguas, piñatas, canastas con luces indirectas, que se yo. Ese espacio le falta arreglar más. Pero su exterior llama la atención increíblemente. El baño es malo, muy malo, solo es una taza y un lavabo más o menos bien. Ahí deben esmerarse por el tipo de servicio que dan, póngale una buena taza, el mismo lavabo pero una llave mejor, así mismo iluminenlo con luz cálida y pónganle temática mexicana. La comida, como les dije es normal, no es brillante, ni una delicia, es normal. Pero por el precio de más de $200 pesos por un taco de huitlacoche, $85 por una copa de Té Negro, o más de $400 pesos por un platillo de fajitas de camarones que llevan como 20 camarones medianos con una cama de cebolla y chile morrón, o el postre de más de $125 por una rebanada de pastel de pan de elote con rompope. Con un total de $1000 pesos por persona más propina. La verdad y siendo honestos, la comida no lo vale. Peeeeero!!! El servicio es genial y hace que valga la pena. los asientos son cómodos, buena música, música en vivo (a mi me toco), meseros atentos, te preparan la salsa al momento frente a ti, sin costo. Te sirven tus platillos con un show de fuego, música o alguna temática, sin costo. agüita para iniciar, sin costo... Por eso vale la pena pagar $1000 + $200 de propina. Por persona.

Me recomendaron el lugar y valió mucho la pena. Preparan una deliciosa salsa frente a tí que sabe buenísima, el guacamole me lo ofrecieron de cortesía y también sabe delicioso. La comida en general es muy buena y llenadora, probé un chile relleno de mariscos y estaba muy rico. Los precios si se me hicieron un poco elevados (precios de turista) pero aún así justos. Algo que no me pareció es que en la cuenta ya me lo mandaron con la propina del 15% y aunque venía claramente establecida odio esta práctica, fuera de esto todo bien.

All the food was delicious! We came here to celebrate a birthday. Came at 6:30pm and was thinking it would be packed as it is prime dinner time but it had only one or two tables in entire restaurant but did pick up a small bit later and I can see why…prices are definitely on the higher side. So make sure you check the menu prices before choosing this place for your dining experience. The chile relleno was so good, wasn’t a fan of the white rice side, would have preferred “orange” Mexican rice. The ribeye and the octopus entrees were great too. Everyone enjoyed their main dishes. We ordered guacamole which they made that plus salsa freshly at the side of your table. The tip jar on the small table they prepare them on is a bit tacky in my opinion. I mean I’m already paying for the order. They do have 3 musicians/singers perform which they’ll ask if you want a song played. It’s 150 pesos per song. Overall was a nice experience, unsure if I’d return.

Muy buena la comida, y meseros atentos pero necesitan si o si tener una carta de bebidas con precios establecidos y el AGUA NATURAL debe ser cortesía del restaurante, no cobrártela sin comentártelo.

Disappointing changes – Mandatory tip and higher prices I’ve been a regular visitor every time I’m in Vallarta, but sadly, this was my last visit. I enjoyed a few birthdays and brought friends before here. While the atmosphere is nice and the staff is decent, the value has plummeted. The fajitas are now 540 pesos and served with significantly less meat than before. Drink menu with prices was unavailable. I heard some stores are jacking up menu prices for specific events. To make matters worse, they automatically added a 15% tip to my bill without asking. I was actually planning to leave more, but forced gratuity is a dealbreaker—especially since mandatory tipping isn't the norm in Mexico. I won't be back.

Like many reviews for Casa Traditional that rate it average, I have to agree that there are somethings that do stand out. One in particular is guacamole prepared right before your eyes. Each fresh ingredient, explained, mixed, prepared and served by staff. Quite an outstanding presentation. And speaking of presentations! Order the fajitas pollo and see this dish sizzle, smoke, after the flames are extinguished from poured tequila setting it on fire. The presentation is interesting yet the food itself is family diner style and average when compared to the competitors one has to choose from. The Chile Relleno con pollo was okay but I had better. The prices are on the higher end of the spectrum, like everywhere, so the new average. The atmosphere is spacious, good seating arrangements for larger groups, surrounded by bright traditional Mexican decor. The staff are warm, attentive, and accommodating. It’s more of the same with a flare of enjoyable entertaining presentation.

Located across the street from the gorgeous cathedral, this restaurant is definitely touristy, but it caters to all nationalities, not just an American and Canadian rip-off place. When we were there, we saw a couple of tables of Mexican tourists as well. Due to its location, the prices are pretty high. However, you get great service, good food, and large portions. Expect to drop around $125 on a dinner for two people if you get booze (less if you don't have drinks). One of the must-order items here is the table made guacamole and salsa. The salsa here is one of my favorite things in the world to eat. It's filled with grilled peppers and tomatoes, and it's smoky and sweet and absolutely delicious. Fresh veggies are mashed right in front of you, and it's delightful. The salsa is served warm, which takes some getting used to, but it's so tasty. The guacamole is the same: as fresh as can be. They even give you a small bowl of salt so you can salt to taste, which I appreciate since I'm very sensitive to salt. The corn chips are a bit oily, but they are fresh. For lunch, hubby opted for beef barbacoa and I got the al pastor shrimp. We thought both were "just okay." I think our final opinion was "good, but not great." The best thing about my shrimp dish was the grilled pineapple slice - smoky, sweet, and oh-so-yummy. My dish had a good amount of shrimp, but I was disappointed that the peppers weren't grilled at all and were just mostly raw chunks (on the menu, it said "grilled"). It came with a small dish of fluffy, buttery rice, and a small pot of beans that were perfectly cooked. Hubby's barbacoa was a bit sad, and came with nothing but a side of corn tortillas. The table next to us had ordered fajitas, and I would get those next time! It's not that they looked particularly good, but there is a SHOW from the staff when you order them. Trust me: if you have kids, order the fajitas! Our lunch was pricey (about $80 U.S. with tip), but reasonable. The atmosphere was fun, with open air windows and a mariachi band that happily took "no" for an answer if you aren't looking to offer tips for music. The restaurant is very clean, the staff spoke just enough English (the menus are in English which is nice), and the service was prompt and friendly. I can see why this restaurant comes so highly recommended.

En el centro de Vallarta, buena ambientación para el extranjero, un poco exagerado queriendo mostrar muchas artesanías. Menú muy limitado y caro para el tipo de platillos. Sin ser las recetas “tradicionales”. El personal muy amable pero necesitan más experiencia y conocer más lo que venden. No volvería ni lo recomiendo.

¡Más caro que en Estados Unidos! La comida está bien pero nada del otro mundo, muy caro y porciones pequeñas. Por dos cervezas y dos platos muy sencillos fueron casi 100$… Se come mucho más rico en otros lugares si de Puerto Vallarta. Totally a Tourist Trap!
