Puerto Vallarta is best known as a resort area on Mexico's Pacific coast. The town, however, was also Horacio Ramirez's childhood home, where he grew up enjoying his grandmother's homemade meals. Inspired by this authentic, seafood-centric cuisine, Horacio opened his own restaurant in 2000. Read on to learn about a few of the standout dishes on Puerto Vallarta's menu.
