When El Toro moved across the street to The Greene, they took advantage of their old location to launch a new concept. They invite guests to dive into Vallarta, your local paradise!
With a seaside decor, neon palm trees and a ceiling of waves, you might actually believe you are in a tropical location. On a recent lunch visit I was served up a cevche (cooked fish, lime, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro) served with tostadas and crackers, instead of the usual chips and salsa you’d expect from a Mexican Restaurant.
The menu, inspired by dishes from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, is large and broken into appetizers, shareables, soups, seafood specials with some traidtional Mexican classics as well.
I tried the lunch portion of the Pasta Vallarta, which contained a healthy portion of shrimp and scallops, served with a piece of garlic toast. The creamy Nayarit-style sauce it was tossed in made it pretty tasty dish.
Can’t wait to go back and try some of their other dishes and some cocktails from the bar.
