Puerto Vallarta - Federal Way (WA)

5 /5 Duncan McAlpine: We had a wonderful experience during happy hour at Puerto Vallarta! We started with a $6 Modelo Negro and a tall $5 vodka water with a splash of cranberry—both great choices to kick off the evening. The complimentary house salsa and refried beans were fresh and tasty, and I was especially excited that they had curtido available when I asked. I love curtido—this Salvadoran cabbage slaw made with cabbage, carrots, onion, oregano, vinegar, and salt is so refreshing, crunchy, and completely addicting. For our main meal, we shared the Pollo en Mole, which featured strips of boneless chicken breast sautéed in their sweet, authentic Mexican mole sauce. It was flavorful and comforting, and the portion was perfect for sharing at $19.50. We didn’t get a photo of the main dish this time, but we’re already looking forward to coming back soon!

5 /5 Al Glenewinkel: This is our favorite Mexican restaurant. We love their salsa and chips with bean dip. I had the 3 taco platter with carne asada and rice and beans. My wife had the Mexican pizza. The margaritas were great. Our meals were wonderful, the service was friendly and prompt, the restaurant is always clean. There are 2 other Puerto Vallarta that we drive past to get to this one. They are not as good. The prices are getting higher just like every restaurant but they are not outrageous like some places.

5 /5 John Donnelly: Caldo de Res is life changing. Makes me want to smuggle it out to an orphanage.

3 /5 Solo Traveller: Puerto Vallarta , a Mexican eatery that left a decent impression overall. First and foremost, the place was impeccably clean, which made the dining experience much more pleasant. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making sure we felt at home right from the start. As for the food, it was generally good. The flavors were authentic, and the portions were generous. However, the meat dishes were noticeably salty, which overshadowed the otherwise enjoyable meal. It wasn’t a dealbreaker, but it’s something they might want to adjust for better balance. Aside from that, everything else was perfectly fine. The ambiance was vibrant, and it’s clear that they care about the customer experience. I’d still recommend giving it a try, especially if you’re looking for a clean, friendly spot to enjoy Mexican cuisine.

5 /5 Pee-Bee Jay: Large quantity food. Crispy pork strips I liked.
