We chose this place because Mexicans were eating there, and no wonder, because the food was excellent. We moved from the front ocean view seats because they were too near the street, but the rear section was quiet and cool. A great spot for a cool drink or a full meal. More

During our week's stay in P.V., we enjoyed most meals but this particular night we were lured into Mi Querencia without any prior knowledge about its reputation. We should have been tipped off by the near-empty restaurant despite larger crowds elsewhere. The food was average, nothing special. "2 for 1" beer special seemed a joke since the price for the...

Delicious food, AMAZING service, great prices, and a really beautiful view. I wish we'd gone to to the Malecon a bunch more times, just so we could come back here again and again! The decor is beautiful too, if you can tear your view away from watching the boardwalk area More

Spent 2 weeks in puerto vallarta area....this was by far the best! Went with my husband and 2 teens...Staff was excellent and spoke wonderful english. Restaurant was clean and "funky" a nice mix of cultural and trendy. We loved dining by the open air window where we could see all the action on the Malecon. The Mole was superb and... More

Nice staff, good, clean, tasty and healthy food and the best margarita we had in our two days of margarita sipping along the malecon. Try the pineapple margarita! More

The flaming fajitas and guacamole made at the table were great. But the $89 kids menu was not a good value. The adult burger cost less. More

Mi Querencia has the best breakfast deal on or around the malecon. For 60-70 pesos, you get a great traditional Mexican breakfast, a Mexican pastry, and all the coffee you want. Hint: get the Mexican style of coffee and skip the "Americana"; it's a fantastic and welcomed change of pace. It has a great style of music played in the... More

"Mi Querencia" literally translates as "My Haunt," like a place you would go to repeatedly if you enjoy the colorful ambiance, great food, and friendly service. It is the perfect name because that's exactly what you get here. The menu is in Spanish and English. At first I was a bit wary, as it is right on the malecon and... More

My son and I are from Puerto Vallarta. He is home from his studies in the US and we went downtown(centro) to shop and eat. The heat was oppressive, and we were looking for a restaurant with AC - not easy to find. We happened on the "Mi Querencia" which has AC inside, although still open on the front to... More

Really good food, we had a melted cheese appetizer with 2 different types of salsa and it was awesome, especially since I am not really a fan of salsa it was great to have a cold and hot option.. More
