About the restaurant

Raíces Resto Bar se encuentra ubicado en una Casona de época de la colonia más antigua de Puerto Vallarta: Emiliano Zapata. La historia de nuestra casona y el árbol más grande de la ciudad son sólo el inicio de una experiencia culinaria única en la región. Nuestro chef Gonzalo Nogueira creó platillos exclusivos cocinados casi en su totalidad a las brasas. Sabores ahumados, tatemados e intensos son algunas de nuestras principales características. Nuestro bar dará paso a tragos artesanales que están directamente relacionados con nuestro nombre. Contamos con 3 espacios diferentes para que el comensal pueda contar con nosotros para todo tipo de ocasión. Un comedor semi cerrado principal, una sala con aire acondicionado más cerrada e íntima y un gran patio exterior son escenarios irresistibles a la hora de compartir un evento en pareja o con amigos.
La búsqueda continua para una atención de excelencia cierra nuestra propuesta dándole forma a una experiencia nueva y sofisticada.

This was my first time visiting this restaurant and it did not disappoint. Our waiter was amazing with just enough service--not overbearing and not inattentive--just right! We has a ceviche appetizer that was a clam ceviche. It was beautifully prepared with a nice habanero kick to it but I didn't love the clams. They didn't stand up to the marinate but any disappointment ended there. Our entrees were both perfectly cooked and prepared. We had a short rib ravioli that was a five star dish and a pork marinated in a citrus habanero. It was also fantastic but there short rib ravioli was so good I doubt anything could have topped it. Everyone was very professional and this place caters to upscale PV so don't go in expecting a cheap meal and tacos. It's not that.

Vitae is a wonderful restaurant. Food is great...we all had different choices and everyone was very happy. Service was timely and attentive but not too much. It is a parade walking by on the Malecon and you can see the sunset into the ocean.

There was three of us my son ordered the tenderloin that you choose your cut, but they didn’t asked him to see it. The dish itself was good. The steak was a little chewy. My wife steak was the Divine tenderloin with shrimp meal off the menu. It was thinner, but very tender mine was a peppercorn meal tenderloin the edges were Crispy and the meat itself was chewy for tenderloin. I was disappointed, but the overall taste was fabulous. The waiter and all staff were very friendly and excellent Alex was our waiter last night and in the past Roberto was our waiter and he was excellent
