When a German chef receives accolades, I am often impressed. They toast to an orderly “meal time” in Germany. It’s not a food culture. But Bernhard Guth’s resume impresses. He even spent some time at Bouley in New York. (For those not up on the New York scene, it’s on all the lists) And now […]

Lunch at Pizotita Beach concludes a Vallarta Adventure
The beach. It’s one of the many reasons people travel to Mexico, perhaps the most common reason. I’m not surprised. Mexico has amazing stretches of sand. And lunch on the beach, well that is truly part of the culture (through cuisine) in Mexico too. During the Beach Thursday series this winter, I highlighted a few […]
Condé Nast Traveler’s Hot Listed Cafe des Artistes
When the Conde Nast Traveler “Hot List” issue comes in the mail, I always review it. I check to see if I stayed at, drank at, or dined at any of the mentioned. And fortunately, I have. Yet I am often surprised when certain places are mentioned over others I know from the location. The debate often […]
“El Arrayán” translates into “tasty Mexican food” in Puerto Vallarta
Mexican cuisine is just one option when visiting Puerto Vallarta. The seaside town provides arguably the best dining scene in all of Mexico outside of the capital city. But as patrons can chose from the numerous top-notch international options (as this week of posts shall highlight) many always, well I always, search for good quality local cuisine. In […]
Dinner comes with a show at Gus Gus
In the heart of the golden zone, Gus Gus serves more then just fine Mexican food. The restaurant provides the fun, festive atmosphere many come to Mexico for – the fiesta. From the live music rock band, to the dance floor filled with tequila fueled tourists and the fire show dance troupes work for peso […]
Alagua in Mazatlán’s Golden Zone
Just up from the golden sand beaches of Mazatlán’s zona dorada (golden zone) beach goers can sit down and enjoy the food and cheerful ambiance of Alagua. Ceviche, oysters, scallops, shrimp and the local huachinango fish fill the menu. It’s seafood, seafood, seafood. And it’s delicious. On my visit, our large table ordered most everything off […]
La Puntilla on the Mazatlán Waterfront
Just across from the sands of Stone Island lunch is served. Outside on an open air deck, La Puntilla patrons enjoy not just the views of the passing cruise ships, ferries to La Paz, and cargo ships, but good quality seafood. One Saturday afternoon as part of a table of eight, I noticed big parties […]
Lunch at Grandma Tina’s
In between a tequila tasting (or rather a blue agave tasting since it is not officially from “Tequila”) at the award winning Los Osuna and an impressive zip-line canopy tour we stopped for lunch. We were 30 minutes outside the city of Mazatlan and away from the coast. We were deep in the state of […]
