Mariscos 8 Tostadas

The 25 Best Restaurants in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico | Eater

"Jacinto Macedo started selling ceviche out of a street cart and people loved it so much he built a restaurant dedicated to it. The menu has grown much larger, but the quality has withstood the test of time. Make time for a seafood feast at the original location, and be sure to order the chicharrón de pescado, taquitos de jaiba (a crab-filled cross between creamy enchiladas and tacos dorados), and the tostadas with ceviche molido, topped with your choice of raw scallops or whole poached butterflied shrimp and layered with sliced avocado. Wash everything down with the restaurant’s tamarind margaritas made with raicilla instead of tequila. For dessert, make sure to order the carlota de limón, Vallarta’s equivalent of a key lime pie made with María cookies. Just make sure to bring cash, since no credit cards are accepted." - Paola Briseño-González
