Just curious if anyone here has tried it or heard anything.
We head to Vallarta next week and are thinking of checking it out.

The link did not work, but I was able to look at the website on my own.

This place must be new, and I have never been there. If you like the contemporary, minimalist sort of ambience, then go for it!! The food looks awesome!

The tables look a bit small considering that you order lots of plates to share.

I recommend Barcelona Tapas, which is fairly close to this place, for tapas. Wonderful setting and food!!

Thanks for the reply.
I am familir with Barcelona's, but I think we may give this little spot a try.
I'll report back.

Let me know what you think of the place. It´s ran by Spanish, and the paella, tapas, sangria, etc is made to order and looks very authentic. Everyone I asked about recommend it, and me too!

Is that short for Pincho and Ole? Spanish tapas, the rage in town right now? I just got a request to write a promo for them and possibly a video. Look for it on pvpulse.com in a couple weeks.

We stopped in to Pincho & Ole's last night for a quick snack.
The food quality was very good. We tried a few classics, papas bravas, iberico ham etc and the flavours and technique all seemed to be there.

I wasn't in the mood for wine so I stuck to beer but they had a nice, reasonable priced selection and good storage (which is important in the tropics).

Some of the liquor prices seemed high, 120 pesos for a shot of Grey Goose is like being back in Canada, but I suspect those luxury brands may be just as expensive for the restaurant to purchase in Mexico.

Overall, I'd love to go back and sample a few more dishes.
Definately worth a stop.

Why, thank you very much! Saved my own posting. Just went up a couple days ago. It will be the first of 6 promos for P&O. I hope to hook up and film a video there, nice to get that underway soon. Looking to add more restaurants. Have 2-3 leads.

Try Mama Rosas just up the block from Cafe des Artistes. You will not be disappointed.

I already mentioned it in a previous post, but this place is opening in Nuevo Vallarta (3.14) and is moving to another location downtown, can see that in their webpage
