Nothing is Authentic – Everything is Real
Mordidas is located “behind the green door” in a simple building in the working class, non-tourist Puerto Vallarta colonia, Buenos Aires, on the Rio Cuale. Dine or drink in our casual bar and dining room or outside on our open-air second floor balcony that overlooks the river, associated taco stands and life on our street. Colonia Buenos Aires is vibrant and active.

Sorry, we are not wheelchair accessible but we will spare no effort to accommodate your needs. There is one flight of stairs to the restaurant.
Smoking is prohibited inside of the bar and is allowed on outside tables on the balcony (except during special events).
The road that we are on is the original road between Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara. A few miles past our restaurant this road turns to dirt and continues for the better part of 5 hours to Talpa where it becomes paved again for rest of the trip to Mascota and Guadalajara. A short distance beyond us is the village of Paso Ancho with several other restaurants, the Rio Canopy Ride and the high Sierra Madre mountains and jungle.
In front of us is the Rio Cuale. Behind us is the steep mountainside of the jungle. Around us is basically a small Mexican town (Colonia Buenos Aires), legally and physically part of Puerto Vallarta but miles away in atmosphere and attitude.

Colonia Buenos Aires
- Easy taxi access (we have reliable taxis that we will call when you are ready to leave). A cab ride (for up to 4 people) to or from Centro or the Zona Romantica is usually 60 – 70 pesos.
Uber is also available
- Convenient bus access. The Paso Ancho bus normally takes you to or picks you up within a few meters of our door. The bus fare is 10 pesos and the ride to/from town takes about 10 minutes. This bus runs from 6 am until about 10:00 pm. If you stay later, you can walk 2 blocks to the Libramiento and catch any bus almost all night. The Paso Ancho bus can be boarded at any regular bus stop downtown. At this time facial masks must be worn on buses.
- Car access. Fast from the Puerto Vallarta Libramiento. Our road, Manantial, is left at the first stop light after the big tunnel traveling south – or right at the second stop light traveling north out of the small tunnel. Only minutes from Centro or Olas Altas.
- Street parking is now fairly easy because the city recently completely repaved the road.
- From Guadalajara, Go to Mascota, then to Talpa where you take the dirt road to Puerto Vallarta. Keep going until you see us.
