The 25 Best Restaurants in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico | Eater

"Chef Sebastián Renner and co-owner Josué Martínez of Makai opened Tukari as the kind of place that offers a respite from the masses of partying tourists. The oasis surrounded by palm trees and lush tropical flowers is built around an open-fire grill where thick cuts of swordfish, steaks, and pork chops are perfectly cooked. The food centers around locally sourced fish, meats, and vegetables, highlighting the region’s coastal and mountainous bounty. Grilled panela cheese from El Tuito with kalamata tapenade and fennel chimichurri is a good way to start your feast here, while the local swordfish chuletón becomes the main act the moment it hits the table, arriving surrounded by slow-grilled tacos olvidados filled with beans." - Paola Briseño-González
