La Tienda Grande

La Tienda Grande is a highly rated authentic Mexican restaurant inspired by traditions, memories and experiences of Chef Salvador Carrillo from Puerto Vallarta. Salvador tributes all his success as a chef to the women in his life: his mother,  4 grandmothers, aunts, friends and those ladies I have met in life and have inspired me.

The menu is from dishes he has tried that are still in his memory but interpreted his own way.
