Serrano's Meat House

10+ years I've come to Puerto Vallarta and every morning we walk by this restaurant but have never been. First let me say that our service was amazing. The waiter has been there forever and loves what he does. He was friendly, quick and made some substitutions to help us.
Second, the New York steak was enormous. Perfectly prepared to order. We had a Caesar salad to start and I subbed grilled asparagus that was another perfectly prepared dish.
We had an early dinner so waiting wasn't an issue. I do recommend reservations for anything after 5:00pm. In high season it tends to be full.

What was I thinking? After days here In PV, and eating a lot of Mexican food. It was time for a change. After reading some good reviews on this Meat House we decided to check it out.

The staff was top notch! Service could not have been better. I ordered the half rack of ribs, and my girlfriend ordered the salmon.

Her salmon was cooked well, it was flaky and well seasoned. The potato were un-edible.

My ribs were fall off the bone tender, but the sauce was bad. Please understand I'm not that guy! I ate two of the seven ribs and I said no mas! If the sauce was ok I would have eaten them it had a bad taste to them. Like something went wrong.

Anyways one really good thing! They brought out a small tray with three small bowls. Two of them had hot sauces one red (good), one green (outstanding) HOT! but very very good flavor. The other bowl had some refried beans......Awesome!

What was I thinking BBQ Ribs in Puerto Vallarta?

Both my wife and I ordered the Urban burger. Wife was not a fan at all, I was a bit on the fence about it. It was a decent size burger, with grilled onions, arugula, cheese, bacon and some kind of sauce. The burger was kind of a weird texture, and almost a meat loaf taste to it. It wasn't bad, just different. Fries were very good, crispy and hot. Chips and salsa were pretty much just mediocre. Price was ok, just like any other higher end burger joint. All in all, if you're tired of tacos and seafood it's a good option.
Waiter was awesome, all the staff really nice.

Service was excellent, food was amazing, Ambiance was OK. There was a concert going on so my daughter and I couldn't even talk because it was so loud. Spent the time people watching instead. Food cooked perfectly!

I wanted a burger and I'm sooooo glad we chose this place. One of the best burgers that I've ever had. Both the burger and the fries had some truffle essence, but not at all overpowering. Just perfect. We also go the mushroom risotto and it definitely delivered on creaminess.

The piece de resistance was the Mexican coffee. It was made tableside and tasted like heaven on Earth. I vow to return daily for this delicious treat.

Our server Pedro was absolutely amazing. They provide complimentary chips, refried beans, and salsa. The beans were so good, I got an order to go.

The location is great as well; adjacent to the Malecon.

Definitely a favorite restaurant in PV.

Great food.
Be sure to get a reservation setup so that you can catch the sunset. An extra bonus if you can watch one of the cruise ships leave as well.

Steaks are always over seasoned and that's after asking to go easy on the salt/seasoning. The place has gotten out of hand with prices. You can go to Ruth Chris back in the states and have a better steak for the same price.

The food is okay, the quality of service was horrible. We went to have a family dinner (9) and the waiter gave us a hard time. The dinner began with him even forgetting to take my sisters order, and ended with him up charging our meal because we were paying in dollars not pesos. Our food came out warm or a bit cold, I would not recommend this place to anyone. This was definitely one of the worst experiences I have had eating out.

Ordered the Fajitas & they were amazing. Torched by the side of our table prior to serving us!
Service was great & the margaritas were top notch

Food was pretty good. I ordered the rib eye. Wife is veggie. Not too many options for veggies (it is a meat house) but she like the rossioto. My son had the ribs and daughter had the salmon.
