    I appreciate the work that went into this however it was not worth it for us. Food was visually appealing but taste did not match the price. $140 for two people and one of the worst meals we’ve had at that price point. Waiter was oddly pushy on drinks, dessert, and asked me to increase my tip. Dining room had an uncomfortable warehouse vibe, poor choice of cliche 90’s pop music playing loudly. Would have expected good music given the design and theme. Over attentive staff made it hard to have a private conversation. We both left feeling sick perhaps due to the food or windowless giant room. Might be cool as a club, not somewhere I’d eat again.

    Such a cool concept for a restaurant! La leche means milk in Spanish. The entire restaurant is white - absolutely everything. There’s a DJ 3/4 up inside the wall playing awesome music. Drinks were amazing - strawberry mint margarita was SO good. Every dish we had was incredible but the octopus was my favorite. Octopus, emerald salad, baked ribs, pibil tacos, pork shank, shrimp and then cheesecake and chocolate cake. Eduardo and Ilse took wonderful care of us! You won’t be disappointed here.

    Great food and service. Loved the drinks being made table-side. Got the duck, pork leg and steak. Steak was my favorite but all was outstanding. The decor is obviously unique and definitely added to the experience. Would recommend for anybody looking for a cool dining experience, especially away from all the noise near the touristy parts of PV

    It's been so long since I returned but I've never eaten dinner. The change is not to my liking. It was a great place for cocktails with friends. They remove the main bar and close off the patio. I kept an open mind and sat down for dinner. I was not disappointed. The service was awesome and the food was yummy!! I ordered the meat ravioli!! The best I ever had! No joke. The people who I was with all enjoy their dishes. I may return before I leave for home. I totally recommend this place for dinner.

    Great atmosphere, fine food, impeccable and attentive staff. Very busy with beautifully turned out guests. Thank you David and Fernando in particular. Great for groups. Large round tables; great cutlery and crockery.

    Sheer unfiltered opulence. I mean truly something to behold. There were 4 of us at dinner that evening. We were seated immediately. There was a dinner rush at around 9 that I was so glad to miss. They sang and brought me a yummy secret dessert because we were celebrating my birthday. The specialty menu sounded to good to pass up and the cocktails had to be included. We started with the ahi tuna and the flavor and savory finishes were nicely complimented with a cucumber melon martini. It was a fresh and lovely shade of green! The soup was a melody of squash and carrots and other delicious roots! The pork had a wonderful sauce that brought out some smokey flavors hiding in the meat texture. The desert had to have been several delicious nuts shredded in a brownie with a buttery scoop of signature gelato. I paired the last few courses, including the duck and mashed potatoes, with a huskies grey goose martini with passion notes in the drink and in the air.. I will definitely be back with my brother Myke B. to pair some wines but my mixologist Tony must be commended. He was extraordinarily delightful, quick, and talented. I was most pleased with my staff. Even more than the everything all milk todo la leche bins and bottles and items galore. Thank you so much everyone. I loved it.

  • 5/5 Will J. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely worth the hype and the money. It really is an experience from start to finish. The service is really good, if not even a little intense (you finish the last bite of something and they're right there to take it away; sip your drink and someone will instantly come fill it up again). The food was phenomenal. First were the oysters, which were some of the biggest I've ever seen and came with 3 unique sauces. Next was the pulpo and the pork costillas, which were both to die for. For dessert we ordered the chocolate brownie and tres leches cake. The chocolate one was superb, but the tres leches was actually the one thing that disappointed us the whole dinner. We got a bottle of wine and a cocktail each, so our total came out to around $3800 pesos with tip (roughly almost $50usd/person). We were so happy we were able to try this place out.

    This restaurant is amazing! They have great menu. The items we ordered all of them were so delicious. Lobster was juicy, buttery and soft. Drinks are mind-blowing! Deserts are so unique and delicious. Interior is very interesting. Staffs are very nice! This restaurant is just superb. Highly recommending for date night or special day dinner. A must go place in Puerto Vallarta for your special occasion or any celebration.

    Celebrated my wedding here with a party of 14! The service was amazing, including sparklers, gift bags and tequila shots. The waitstaff was very warm and friendly. I loved my food. I tried the snails, oysters and ahi tuna. Delicious! Although it is a classy establishment the live DJ provided a fun vibe. There was a birthday being celebrated next to us and a disco ball spun while they sang.

    This restaurant runs like a well oiled machine. Some of the best service I’ve ever had. The food portions are so large and delicious. I highly recommend it!

  • 5/5 Stephanie S. 4 months ago on Google
    The level of service was PHENOMENAL. I believe the head waiter’s name was Carlos, but I was celebrating my marriage with a party of 14 people and everyone at La Leche made the experience unforgettable. Thank you so much!! The DJ, the disco ball, sparklers, and shirts! They went above and beyond. I loved it and definitely recommend

  • 5/5 Robespierre R. 8 months ago on Google
    What a taste! Words can’t describe all flavors and pictures can’t make justice either. I highly recommend this place if you are in PV on your next trip or vacay. I can’t wait to come back and try the tasting menu. My two favorite dishes: Lobster and octopus. Oh and service is beyond my expectations, way to go Management! All debit and credit cards accepted.

    La Leche has turned into a guaranteed delight. They have the taste, the texture and the ambience. The cocktails are refreshing and their standard is on point. Plus, you can dance while you eat!

  • 5/5 Simone S. 4 months ago on Google
    La Leche is a modern high end restaurant which serves refined food based on local ingredients. I tried the tasting menu and everything was prepared very carefully and presented in a beautiful way. The ambiance is also unique, because of the conceptual white design.

    Cool concept -unique and okay ambiance but…but I will keep short: I can live life on an empty stomach ☝️

  • 5/5 Henry S. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice restaurant. Great atmosphere with everything white. The food is delicious. The service is good. Prices are on the high side. Great place for a date or for a group. The service is good but not as good as this place was a few years ago.

  • 5/5 zach c. 10 months ago on Google
    Don't have any negative comments, truly unique restaurant. Food and service was reminiscent of any fine dining restaurant but with an atmosphere that was really fun and doesn't make you feel stuffy like a fine dining restaurant. The fresh Oysters are a must. We want to go back to just get the Oysters before we leave town.

  • 4/5 Salma B. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect service. I think the best I had so far. For the food, I had the green salad which was delicious. I also tried the oysters, served with two sauces, which added a great taste to the oysters. For the dessert, I tried the tres leches which was good but a little bit dense. I prefer the plain version, with regular flour and Chantilly cream, offered us as a birthday celebration of my brother in law. There was also a DJ and a band playing jazz. Honestly, they could do better in terms of music and entertainment

    Extremely elevated ambience, very unique concept. My cocktail was delicious and the crab stuffed poblano pepper was decadent and a very good portion! I enjoyed the experience from the moment I walked in, to even the washroom aesthetic! They even have a DJ in the wall of the second floor and she was mixing some great bangers and I went on a Tuesday night!

    Service, ambiance and amazing food...what else is there? From the moment you step in, you are greeted with a smile and welcoming decor. They really take pride in what they do, so many details, so much flavor.

  • 5/5 Ryan G. 1 year ago on Google
    If you are from the U.S. and googling restaurants to go eat this is the one you want to go to! Food and service was outstanding. Was with a party of 12 all from Houston and everyone loved the food. One of the best tasting restaurants I’ve ever eaten at in my life.

  • 5/5 Ali B. 2 years ago on Google
    This was really fun and nice. It has a fun modern atmosphere. All the people were kind and friendly and hard working. The food was delicious.

  • 5/5 Art T. 2 years ago on Google
    OMG WHAT A FIND. My wife and I love great restaurants. We travel to other cities just to experience highly reviewed restaurants. Went here as a group of 8 people, didn’t expect much but everyone was blown away. The food, drinks, service and aesthetics were all excellent. If Michelin were to rate restaurants in the area, this one would get definitely get its stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

  • 4/5 Andi 2 years ago on Google
    I would give La leche 4 1/2 stars if I could. A creative mix of flavors, well balanced menu and ample wine selection makes La Leche stands out form the rest. An avant-gard decor makes reference to “milk” as the first kind of food ingested by humans, does their mane go back to put basics? Not so sure but for sure the theme gives the restaurant a sophisticated look. Generous portions, accesible floor plan and a separate (very nice) bar area with high tables widen La Leche clientele options. I wouldn’t recommend it for children though as it is more intended for adults.
