"Casa Prime feels morePolancothan playa—slick lighting, and massive TVs looping pop music videos. The Puerto Vallarta outpost of this Mexican mini-chain is in the Marina Vallarta area, where the yachts are big and neighboring resorts come with dress codes and five-digit price tags. Itlookslike a classic fancy steakhouse, and they even wheel out a tray of raw chops for you to ogle before choosing your dinner. Despite the red meat presentation, seafood is what shines. The sea bass tiradito is bright and balanced, and the grilled octopus doused in citrusy ponzu is soft enough to cut with a butter knife. Come here when you want to sip something strong, and pretend you're on the kind of vacation that people recycle photos about for years." - Nicolai McCrary
