Restaurante Emiliano Puerto Vallarta

Restaurante Emiliano sits on C. Pelícanos, a five-minute walk from the docks of Marina Vallarta. It is a dressier room than most of the casual spots scattered along the waterfront.

The kitchen focuses on Argentinian and South American preparations, with a heavy emphasis on seafood. While the area is known for high-turnover tourist spots, Emiliano offers a controlled experience that favors a longer, more considered pace. It is the better choice for those who find the beach-side noise at Playa de Oro grating; the dining room prioritizes a quieter, more formal register that makes the nearby bustle feel like it belongs to an entirely different part of town.
