Blair Kemp Such a great time. Dinner and a movie , drinks Shuffleboard and billiards were so fun. Shower head sucked but great atmosphere.

Jess Came in during lunch with my coworkers and we all enjoyed what we ordered. I got the Cuban, and it was absolutely amazing. (I lived in Florida for a few years, in a Cuban community and the dive can absolutely have bragging rights on one of the best Cuban sandwiches you’ll get around Richland!) The vibe was awesome. Playing some late 90s early 2000s grunge music. They had a lot of decor to match the vibe as well! Staff was friendly and made sure all customers were taken care of in a timely manner. Can’t wait to come back to town and try more!

Duncan McAlpine We had a wonderful experience during happy hour at Puerto Vallarta! We started with a $6 Modelo Negro and a tall $5 vodka water with a splash of cranberry—both great choices to kick off the evening. The complimentary house salsa and refried beans were fresh and tasty, and I was especially excited that they had curtido available when I asked. I love curtido—this Salvadoran cabbage slaw made with cabbage, carrots, onion, oregano, vinegar, and salt is so refreshing, crunchy, and completely addicting. For our main meal, we shared the Pollo en Mole, which featured strips of boneless chicken breast sautéed in their sweet, authentic Mexican mole sauce. It was flavorful and comforting, and the portion was perfect for sharing at $19.50. We didn’t get a photo of the main dish this time, but we’re already looking forward to coming back soon!

Ursela Hybridge I used to come to this Italian restaurant with my ex over 25 years ago, and it was such a wonderful experience to return, this time with my family. The setting is just as beautiful as I remember, with a stunning view of the Puget Sound and a lovely outdoor deck that makes for the perfect summer brunch or evening. I had the steak filet mignon, which was cooked perfectly, and the walnut arugula salad was absolutely amazing fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. My dad got the clam chowder and steak like me. My mom got the spaghetti, and my sister got the lemon seafood pasta and of course we can’t go with out trying their tiramisu. It’s rare to find a place that holds up so well over the years, but this one truly does. It’s one of my favorite places to eat in Kent/Des Moines. The food, the view, and the memories all made for a perfect night. Highly recommend!

Jessica Cai Everything was really flavorful and the meal was solid. We ordered the spicy cucumbers, supreme spicy pork wontons, the tan tan noodles, pork xiao long bao, crab xiao long bao, pork truffle mushroom roll. The standout was the crab xiao long bao and tan tan noodles. Shout out to our amazing waiter, Gio!

RJ Rodriguez Came in today to celebrate my birthday and walked away with my new favorite restaurant in Seattle! Service was excellent and the food was incredible. The effort that was put into designing everything was top tier. FOOD HIGHLIGHT: The flautas? Get them! The sauce that comes with them is a personalized chefs kiss. We fought over that sauce. The Tacos? HANDmade just like home. Definitely worth every dollar spent here. Drinks? Delicious and not overpowering or too sweet they were just right. Can’t thank everyone enough for making this th best birthday dinner I’ve had in the last decade!
