A goodbye visit to the restaurant which rejected the 50 Best award but was rightfully nominated: Restaurant Masala y Maíz (1. December 2021)
The Masala y Maíz was nominated by the 50 Best for the “The Macallan Icon Latin America” award rightfully – however, they decided to reject the award. But let’s focus on the food – the process of getting a table takes a while as everything is prepared from the moment they open (i.e. 12:00 pm) […]
A waiter with great sales skills and a good drinks bargain: Restaurant Sonora Grill (30. November 2021)
The original intention was to go for a drink at the Sonora Grill, however, since the waiter really does a good job at cross-selling and basically made clear that you get two drinks for one if you pick a starter so we decided to go for some tacos, i.e. the “center loin tacos (with cheese […]
A great place to stop for a couple of drinks: Restaurant Mythos Roma-Cibeles (30. November 2021)
Sometimes you just wand to do a short break to have a drink and something small to eat – and if that’s the case the Fuente de Cibeles is a great place for doing so. There are a number of restaurants around the fountain and it’s a nice area in Roma where you can walk […]
No. 27 of Latam’s best restaurants – not sure I agree: Restaurant Rosetta (29. November 2021)
The Rosetta was listed as No. 27 of the best restaurants in Latin America so it was sure time to give it a try! They also run a bakery so it was for sure time to try their “mantequilla con hormiga chicatana y pan de centeno” (130 MXN) to check out if their bread was […]
Not sure how this restaurant ended up in the Top 15: Restaurant No Sé Nada (27. November 2021)
Since it was the last evening in Puerto Vallarta I was really hoping to find a place which would blow my mind. Well, it did. But not how I had planned it. The No Sé Nada restaurant is apparently No. 11 of all restaurants in Puerto Vallarta and I highly wonder why. Okay, let’s be […]
Definitely not worth the 15km travel from Puerto to Nuevo Vallarta: Restaurant El Coleguita Mariscos (26. November 2021)
Apparently, the El Coleguita Mariscos is one of the best seafood places in the area but I’m not sure that’s entirely true. Upon arrival you’re served a “shrimp broth” which was quite nice and helps you perfectly to warm up which was nice. They offer a variety of different dishes like the “tuna in a […]
Good for a super brief lunch break but nothing more: Restaurant Archie’s Wok (26. November 2021)
Sometimes you have to stop to get some food into your stomach and Archie’s Wok was exactly that – a place to make a quick stop to get some food in my stomach. Luckily, they offer something like a “fix lunch menu” (179 MXN) where you can chose between three starters, three mains, and three […]
When rip-offs become institutionalized: Restaurant Casa Tradicional Cocina Mexicana (25. November 2021)
When it all seems so good, just too good to be true, then it usually is! And that was exactly the case here! The Casa Tradicional Cocina Mexican offers a Mexican experience but catered to tourists. The whole thing starts with the preparation of your salsa for the chips right at the table. And it […]
