By Salvador Dominguez

IN PUERTO VALLARTA THERE ARE ALWAYS NEW THINGS TO DO AND NEW RESTAURANTS TO TRY. NEW PLACES ARE CONSTANTLY BEING INAUGURATED IN THE QUEST TO OFFER DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES. IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THIS HAS CONTINUED TO POSITION PUERTO VALLARTA AND ITS GASTRONOMY AS ONE OF THE BEST AND MOST DEMANDED IN MEXICO. restaurants that you should not miss for their excellent cuisine, novelty and originality.

NOROC Opened its doors in February of 2022. What defines this new place is its haute cuisine and innovative atmosphere. In Noroc you will find a sublime gastronomic experience at your table.

Noroc is a fusion cuisine, full of sophistication, passion for gastronomy, and combination of flavors with recipes from around the world that combine to design culinary experiences that transcend.

The creativity of its chefs raises the gastronomic level with fusions of national and international cuisine and with an unexpected and authentic touch. We recommend the Tropical Hedgehog Ceviche, fresh and full of flavor, a true delight. Its mixology is designed by Mario Mendoza, renowned mixologist of our city. It offers exotic cocktails and fun signature drinks that perfectly accompany each dish to complement the equation. One of its main attractions is that you can eat surrounded by water, which seems to merge with the sea of Puerto Vallarta and its impressive sunsets.

EL BODEGÓN DE PASTAS

EL BODEGÓN DE PASTAS One of the new and arguably hidden spots in PV since it is not in an area with many restaurants is El Bodegón de Pastas, a delicious discovery and a great new spot in Vallarta. El Bodegón offers Italian-Argentinian food. Its Chef and owner Alejandro Mancini makes everything: breads, empanadas, pastas and desserts, and his partner and co-owner, Bruno LeeMon provides a welcoming environment. We recommend the Argentinian Empanadas of beef, corn or chicken with mushrooms as a starter. For pasta, the Sorrentinos (pasta from Argentina) prepared with ham, mozzarella and basil will be a pleasant discovery and the Ravioli with chicken and mushrooms. The Neapolitan Milanesa with potatoes is crazy, be sure to try it and for dessert, try the flan de dulce de leche. It is a very small but cozy place. It only has a few tables but it is worth waiting (or get it to go). Because of its growing popularity and limited space, you may want to try and make a reservation. Give it a try, we are sure you will come back!

DAIQUIRI DICK’S ON THE BEACH

Daiquiri Dick’s on the beach has been an incredible part of the Puerta Vallarta Romantic Zone for 50 years. It was first established by original owners John Csajko and Frederick (DICK) Simmonds.

Now it's been reinvented thanks to the vision of Los Angeles Restaurateur/Caterers Chris Diamond and Chef Wayne Elias. Together with the experience of the Creative Director Javier Jiménez and Chef Martín González.

Open from 9 a.m. to Midnight, it offers brunch, lunch and dinner. Brunch has some amazing items on it, including a carrot cake french toast, covered with fresh strawberries, and a cream cheese maple sauce. Dinner includes some amazing fresh catch fish options, and a mouth watering black pepper filet mignon.

This new incarnation of Daiquiri Dick's on the beach promises to continue its long and stellar tradition on the shores of Playa Los Muertos.

SOMETIMES THE BEST BUSINESSES ARE BORN WHEN SOMEONE TAKES A PASSIONATE HOBBY AND WANTS TO SHARE THEIR TALENTS WITH OTHERS.

It’s truly a home based business and a one-man-show. Richard cooks in the kitchen in his rented home located in the Centro Colonial. He shares photos of his work on Facebook, and orders are placed through Facebook messenger. He personally delivers the orders. And who is Rosie in “Sweet Treats by Rosie and Me”? Why that’s Rosie,

Sweet Cravings Sweet Treats by Rosie and Me Brings American Treats to Puerto Vallarta

who is his best companion. Eightyear-old Rosie is a Poodle shitzu mix and loves to help out in the kitchen when Richard is busy.

You can order almost anything sweet - from cookies, pies, brownies, and cakes - Richard can make it.

The majority of the treats he makes are those that will remind Americans of their childhood and home.

“I am making treats and sweets that are not normally obtainable here in Puerto Vallarta,” he said.

The holidays are a big baking time for Richard. From just before the American Thanksgiving to Christmas, he’s busy making holiday orders and, the favorite (love it or hate it) fruit cake. “I started making fruit cakes two years ago. This past year I made 72 and I think I’ll make many more this coming holiday season”.

Wright said that all of his creations are like works of art. A true masterpiece created from his hands.

The unique taste that sets him apart from local Mexican bakeries is that he uses a lot of sugar and butter.

Richard is a self taught baker, having learned since his childhood. He arrived in Puerto Vallarta four years ago, and loves the people and the simple way of life often found here. IF YOU’D LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT SWEET TREATS BY ROSIE AND ME:
