The finacee and I are heading to Puerto Vallarta (Old Town/Los Muertos Beach) this weekend and were wondering if there were any suggestions for good restraunts/local wines.
Thanks!

Corona Extra NV.
there are the nice and trendy ones like cafe des artistes & le kliff, which are recommended, but our favorite was a non descript restaurant called the red cabbage cafe.
I was down there in April and can heartily recommend two places in old town.
Joe Jack's Fish Shack--you have got to try the cerviche platter. Best I've ever had!
and
Brazil Steak House--run by a wonderful gentleman who waived corkage when I brought in a magnum of Sandhill. HUGE meal followed by a glass of top shelf tequila for $19.

Los Xitomates

There was also a Tapas place, up a really long staircase, but I forgot the name.

Thanks for all of the suggestions! We are going to be there for a week and a half so I'm sure that we will wind up trying most of them out.
echmiel, if you like coffee, check out the Englishman near the entrance to the cruise ship dock. I bought a half kilo fo Echo Mountain Organic Coffee from him and it's the best coffee I've ever had.
La Casa del Tequila

Barcelona.
grunhauser: That's it, exactly. The view from Barcelona Tapas is wonderful. When I was there a couple years ago they did not accept credit cards.
A word about Los Xitomates. We met the chef/owner. The food was Mexican, but not at all tex-mex. It was described as High Mexican cuisine. The chef was a native of P.V., but trained in Alsace and in Austria, and was a really nice chap.

Thanks for all the great suggestions! I am really looking forward to this trip. My mother in law owns a condo down there and we are going to take a look at another unit in her building that we are considering buying. If all works out according to plan -- we might be spending alot of time down there in the near future!
