If you are looking for a real Spanish Restaurant Mesón Ibérico is the place! The food was incredible, the service from Daniel and Pedro was outstanding and the flamenco show an amazing added value to the dinner. 100% recommended OK, we ordered too much food. But we were glad we did. Our two starters, tuna tartare and garlic shrimp, were both very generous portions and both excellent. For the main course we shared the house mixed paella. Delicious and delicate, but again more than we could eat. We also had the two best resposado margaritas of our entire trip and shared a bottle of Mexican sauvignon blanc (surprisingly good!) Recommended by our charming waiter Herman. Coupled with the tasteful atmosphere, the evening was an outstanding culinary experience -- at a reasonable price. We found this new restaurant on our visit to Puerto Vallarta. This restaurant is beautiful., Very well managed and has delicious food. After visiting Spain About a year ago, this restaurant is the closest thing we’ve ever had to what we experienced in Spain The pictures added, show examples of some of the delicious food we enjoyed. We highly recommend this restaurant, if you love true Spanish food

This place truly stands out with its beautiful design—definitely a step above most spots in the marina or anywhere in Vallarta. The service is excellent and attentive, the drinks and wine selection are solid, and the overall atmosphere is welcoming. Food-wise, I was really impressed with the Galician-style octopus and thought the suckling pig was quite good as well. The grilled asparagus was another highlight, the steak and lobster pretty good, as was the grilled octopus. However, a few dishes missed the mark. The garlic prawns didn’t quite deliver, the pork ribs felt uninspired (nothing particularly Spanish about them), and the paella was disappointing—lacking the depth of flavor you’d expect, with tasteless chicken and dry pork. The meat stew was salty. In short, the setting and service are fantastic, and some dishes are genuinely enjoyable, but others could definitely use some reworking. I gave it 4 stars for the design, staff, and a few standout dishes. Otherwise, it would have been closer to average. Come on, guys—you’ve created a beautiful space. Now the food deserves to match it.

Elevated dining. A wonderful Spanish cuisine location in the heart of the Marina. Everything we had was wonderful and the paella made with dry rice stood out, specifically because of the delicious burnt bottom crust of the rice that you rarely see outside of Valencia, Spain, that gives it its specific wonderful flavor! Great service as well. Fernando Salas was our waiter and he had good knowledge of the food and gave us good recommendations! Highly recommend this place!
