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.

We were quickly seated with our reservation. We were greeted by our server and allowed considered time for options. The frog leg appetizer was amazing. I was properly advised on the portion but really could have enjoyed this in a larger portion as my entire meal (with the bread to soak up the olive oil, butter, garlic, and parsley sauce). The cezuela seafood bowl was also tasty. Certainly we will return on our next visit to Vallarta.
