    If I could give this place 10 Stars I would, it was amazing they played 80s music with videos on the TV screen which I loved and the service was friendly and attentive but not to pushy, the food was simply fantastic and amazing I couldn't even finish the steak it was so tender though the juiciest I've ever had. Definitely will come back again the atmosphere is simply beautiful. Indoor and outdoor seating. Vacio steak is perfectly cooked. The grilled vegetables are plentiful and definitely can be shared as most of the sides can be. You do get a big salad that you can share with each steak and fish. Valet parking with tip

    This place delivered in all aspects, Great service/food/ambience. Jorge was a wonderful and knowledgeable server. The Caesar dressing was unreal. The steak and chicken was phenomenal their sides were also good. Of course I finished with creme brûlée and even tho I was full to the brim I’m glad I did it was worth the discomfort of being so overly full.

    Best meat I’ve ever had. I keep coming back to this place for steak dinner year after year and they just keep getting better and better. Make sure to get baked potato with your meal. Freshly baked bread and chimichurri sauce are to die for.

    I’m typing this AT the table because I couldn’t wait to say how truly incredible their food is!! Started with the bread and accompanying sauces/dips for the bread.. their chimichurri is some of the best I’ve ever had! Then we ordered the sashimi tuna (excellent!) and the beef carpaccio which was melt in your mouth tender! Then we got the “cowboy steak” bone in ribeye, it was truly amazing! I cannot say enough about this place! Very attentive service and in a beautiful setting! Can’t wait to come back!!

    Bit of a background. Service was great, seated immediately upon entry, and our server was also amazingly attentive and helpful. Ordered a tomahawk for the first time, at the recommendation of family who have been here before. It came out looking great. However, it was difficult to cut, hard to chew (my jaw was sore after) and had little to no flavor other than the fat and oil it was on. I had no idea how a tomahawk was supposed to taste so I continued to try to eat it, thinking to myself it was just my own issues. For 100$, I expected a lot more, it tasted like a 10-15 steak at an Applebees or local cafe. In hindsight I should have returned it to the kitchen, but I left. Please come here for the atmosphere and great staff, but do not hesitate to send something back.

    It was a beautiful dining experience with a very accommodating and attentive waiter. My husband ordered a rib steak. I usually like it well done but when h flae had me taste the medium rare, I was surprised by the very good flavor and texture. I enjoyed the garlic mushrooms and shrimp dish. The dessert was really delicious. It was well worth the price, the facilities, ambience, a nice clean bathroom and Service de luxe. Until next time!

    Good for what it is. Our steak was very fatty but otherwise the flavor was excellent. Would recommend for large parties of people who are willing to share. The portions are huge.

    Impeccable service, large portions, great wine list. I’m all about the beef short rib in an Argentine steak house and I was not disappointed.

    The steak we got was amazing! Service was great. Took forever though to get a bottle of wine. It's definitely the most expensive meal we had.

    Classy venue, exceptional service, super affordable considering the generous portions, steak was succulent and prepared at the table side. Best meal I had in Puerto Vallarta this time around.

    Really great food and service was exceptional. Just be careful. We ordered margaritas that ended up being $40. They were good, but no margarita is worth $40. Just get the steak and a bottle of water. You'll have a much better time.

    My family and I have been here several times and love the place however after todays dinner here we will never walk back across the street to come here again we will drive down the road. The service was ok the food was ok but they sat people on top of each other which was a family with small kids that was running around our table and theirs. Pushing our table and chairs. The table was seated for 4 people but they added 4 more chairs plus the two kids with no chairs. Then when our food came it was left out for the kids to run around it and spread what germs may have been on or around them. I get it kids are kids and the restaurant can’t control them but them sitting people on top of each other just made it horrible experience for anyone around them. Won’t be back finishing my dinner taking a cap to get desert somewhere else maybe downtown for family night where kids are supposed to be running around. Also took forever to get anyone to get our bill and pay. They never asked if everything was alright or good so I guess they figured we was a loss cause and they could not make it right.

    Tasty steak. Nice atmosphere. Excellent service. Will for sure revisit if we again go to Puerto Vallarta.

    Love this place!! My wife and I have been here multiple time. Each time, the quality of service has been better than any other restaurant I have been to in México and the US. The food here is exceptional!! Very consistent, great options, and quality is on point. I will always visit La Vaca Argentina when visiting PV. This restaurant is a must!!!

    The Vacio steak gave me the worst food poisoning of my life and I ended up in the hospital. Another person in our party had the salmon with mushroom and got sick as well... the wine selection was about the only good thing here

  • 5/5 Nathan R. 9 months ago on Google
    We came for lunch we loved it. We tried the tomaawk and the Vacio. l recommend the salad dressing that has mustard with honey it was amazing. The side sauces and chimichurri are a great compliment of the food. Our waiter Heber gave us exceptional service. We will definitely come back.

    Amazing, great atmosphere and delicious food. Steak melts right in your mouth and the produce comes from the most fertile and nutrient rich enviorment in jalisco. I would recommend la bodega to anyone looking for a memorable experience in PV.

  • 5/5 Arash S. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely incredible place. This was an experience from the moment you walk in. One of the best steak houses I've been to in recent years. Our table ordered 2 dozen different dishes for everyone to try and each one was awesome. The service was great, the atmosphere is welcoming and warm. Definitely recommend it

    Nice place with great service. However the quality of food was not as expected, we had some meat that was hard, te vegetables and salad were ok. The great things about it were the empanada and the cocktails. Service was good but it needs better quality on their meat since it’s a place supposed to be for that …

  • 5/5 Panda R. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow! We stayed in slightly more rustic surroundings for most of our trip, but wanted to kick it up a bit for the last night. This place delivered! The service could not have been better. The wait staff was attentive, very fluent in English, extremely helpful in finding what you wanted, and just so friendly. My steak was cooked perfectly and everything I hoped for in a last meal on vacation. Beet root appy, beef steak with mushroom sauce main, and creme brule for dessert 👍🏽

    This place has amazing vibes and GREAT FOOD!! When I went we wanted to be seated outside which was amazing because you get to see everything. I ordered more food then I could eat and I at it all, very worth it. Started with 2 loaves of spectacular bread! We ordered the rack of lamb with mashed potatoes, rice, and salad and also the fettuccine Alfredo with steak and a salad. Highly recommend

    One of the absolute best meals of my life. Every single thing was prepared perfectly, the grilled octopus was lightly seasoned and the perfect texture. The ceaser salad was even great, nice big pieces of lettuce and a delicious dressing. The beef was divine, easily one of the top three cuts of meat I have had in my life. Perfectly seared, the inside was so tender it reminded me of tuna, I have had Wagyu beef in Tokyo, been to some world class bbq joints and this ranks up there. A must try if you are in Puerto Vallarta.

    This place was very delicious and the service was also great, prices very reasonable for fine dining. My husband and I got the grilled octopus with pastor seasoning, the 1k Vacío, grilled veggies and salad- oh and a mocktail that was made out of passion fruit (sooo delicious and refreshing). We would definitely go here again and would recommend for anyone visiting Vallarta.

  • 5/5 Michelle D. 1 year ago on Google
    The atmosphere is nice so dress up. Not a real casual place. We started with Artichokes with cheese on them. Too much work for such a small amount of Artichoke heart. Then I ordered the Artichoke lasagna which was interesting. My girlfriend ordered the rib eye steak medium with a baked potato and that melted in your mouth. Her meal was amazing. They know how to cook steaks there for sure. Our waiter on the other had was very busy and it took us almost 45 minutes to get the bill then the credit card reader then pay. We didn't leave until 10:30pm when we were finished an hour earlier. Then the vallet was so busy it took another 20 minutes just to get our car. Overall the steaks are great. Maybe don't go at 8pm on a Thursday night.

    Nice steak dinner in a cool clean setting. Server suggested the cowboy ribeye and it was excellent. My drink was fantastic, so was the bread.

    Great place to have a great steak prepared at your table. The service was outstanding, our waitress was very attentive and answered all our questions. Took her recommendations, and was not disappointed, she knew what she was talking about.

  • 3/5 Andrew S. 2 years ago on Google
    Seating was very loud with traffic if you sit outside. Food was good, but nothing special, I do not eat steak so might have missed the good stuff.

  • 5/5 Mark P. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good steak and have wide assortment from reasonably priced to high end. Great wine list. Plates easily shared if not big eater or go for the works. Definitely would go back if in the area.
