The Essence of Mexican Cuisine
Mexican cuisine is known for its bold flavors, vibrant colors, and rich traditions. At Nuevo Vallarta Seafood & Grill, we honor these traditions by using authentic ingredients and traditional cooking techniques. Our chefs, inspired by the diverse culinary heritage of Mexico, bring their expertise and creativity to every dish, ensuring a dining experience that is both authentic and exciting.
Mexican cuisine is characterized by its use of fresh, high-quality ingredients. From ripe tomatoes and avocados to aromatic herbs and spices, every ingredient plays a crucial role in creating the complex flavors that define Mexican dishes. Our chefs meticulously select the finest ingredients, ensuring that every bite is a true representation of the rich culinary traditions of Mexico.
The Freshest Seafood
As our name suggests, seafood is a highlight of our menu. We take pride in sourcing the freshest seafood, ensuring that every dish is bursting with flavor. Our seafood offerings are diverse and meticulously prepared, showcasing the natural flavors of the ocean while incorporating the vibrant tastes of Mexican cuisine.
Shrimp Ceviche:
One of our most popular dishes, shrimp ceviche, is a refreshing and zesty appetizer that sets the stage for a delightful meal. Our shrimp ceviche is made with fresh shrimp marinated in citrus juices, mixed with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and a hint of jalapeño for a spicy kick. The result is a dish that is both light and flavorful, perfect for starting your culinary journey at Nuevo Vallarta.
Grilled Fish Tacos:
Fish tacos are a staple of Mexican coastal cuisine, and at Nuevo Vallarta, we elevate this classic dish with the freshest fish and bold flavors. Our grilled fish tacos feature tender, flaky fish seasoned with our signature blend of spices, served on handmade tortillas with crisp cabbage, creamy avocado, and a drizzle of tangy lime crema. Each bite is a harmonious blend of textures and flavors, transporting you to the vibrant coastal towns of Mexico.
Seafood Paella:
For those seeking a more substantial seafood dish, our seafood paella is a must-try. Inspired by the traditional Spanish dish but infused with Mexican flavors, our seafood paella features a medley of fresh seafood, including shrimp, scallops, and mussels, cooked with saffron-infused rice and a blend of aromatic spices. The result is a dish that is both hearty and flavorful, perfect for sharing with friends and family.
Traditional Mexican Favorites
While our seafood dishes are a highlight, we also offer a variety of traditional Mexican favorites that are sure to satisfy any craving. From tacos and enchiladas to tamales and mole, our menu is a celebration of the diverse flavors and culinary traditions of Mexico.
Carne Asada:
Carne asada, or grilled beef, is a beloved dish in Mexican cuisine. At Nuevo Vallarta, we marinate our carne asada in a flavorful blend of citrus juices, garlic, and spices, then grill it to perfection. The result is tender, juicy beef with a smoky char, served with grilled onions, fresh salsa, and warm tortillas. Whether enjoyed in a taco or on its own, our carne asada is a true taste of Mexico.
Enchiladas:
Enchiladas are another classic Mexican dish that we take great pride in. Our enchiladas are made with soft corn tortillas filled with your choice of meat, cheese, or vegetables, then smothered in a rich and flavorful sauce. Choose from our red enchilada sauce, made with tomatoes and chilies, or our green enchilada sauce, made with tomatillos and cilantro. Topped with melted cheese and a dollop of crema, our enchiladas are a comforting and delicious choice.
Tamales:
Tamales are a traditional Mexican dish that requires time and skill to prepare. Our tamales are made with masa (corn dough) filled with savory meats, cheeses, or vegetables, then wrapped in corn husks and steamed to perfection. Each tamale is a labor of love, reflecting the care and dedication of our chefs. Served with a side of salsa, our tamales are a delicious and satisfying choice.
Mole Poblano:
Mole poblano is one of the most complex and flavorful sauces in Mexican cuisine, made with a blend of chilies, chocolate, nuts, and spices. At Nuevo Vallarta, we serve our mole poblano over tender chicken, creating a dish that is both rich and deeply satisfying. The combination of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors in our mole poblano is a true culinary masterpiece, showcasing the depth and complexity of Mexican cuisine.
Innovative Creations
In addition to our traditional offerings, we also feature innovative dishes that showcase our chefs' creativity and culinary skills. These dishes blend traditional Mexican flavors with modern techniques and ingredients, resulting in unique and exciting culinary experiences.
Seafood Tostadas:
Our seafood tostadas are a fresh and vibrant dish that highlights the best of both land and sea. Crispy corn tostadas are topped with a mix of marinated seafood, including shrimp, octopus, and fish, then garnished with avocado, pickled onions, and a drizzle of lime crema. Each bite is a burst of flavors and textures, making our seafood tostadas a popular choice for those seeking something light and refreshing.
Chiles Rellenos:
Chiles rellenos are a classic Mexican dish, but at Nuevo Vallarta, we add our own twist. Our chiles rellenos are made with large poblano peppers stuffed with a flavorful mixture of cheese, meat, or seafood, then battered and fried to perfection. Served with a side of rice and beans, our chiles rellenos are a delicious and satisfying choice for those seeking a hearty meal.
Tuna Tartare:
Our tuna tartare is a perfect example of how we blend traditional Mexican flavors with modern culinary techniques. Fresh tuna is finely diced and mixed with avocado, lime, cilantro, and a hint of chili, then served with crispy tortilla chips for a delightful appetizer. The combination of fresh, raw tuna with the bold flavors of Mexican cuisine creates a dish that is both sophisticated and delicious.
Coconut Shrimp:
For a tropical twist, try our coconut shrimp. Large, juicy shrimp are coated in a crispy coconut batter and fried to golden perfection, then served with a tangy mango salsa. The combination of sweet, crispy shrimp and the zesty salsa is a match made in heaven, making our coconut shrimp a standout dish.
Sweet Endings
No meal at Nuevo Vallarta Seafood & Grill is complete without one of our decadent desserts. Our dessert menu features a variety of sweet treats, each designed to provide a perfect ending to your dining experience.
Churros:
Our churros are a popular choice, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, dusted with cinnamon sugar and served with a rich chocolate dipping sauce. These golden, crispy delights are a perfect way to end your meal, providing a sweet and satisfying treat.
Flan:
For a lighter option, try our flan. This creamy and silky custard is topped with a caramel glaze, creating a dessert that is both light and indulgent. Each spoonful of our flan is a melt-in-your-mouth experience, making it a favorite among our guests.
Tres Leches Cake:
Tres leches cake is a classic Mexican dessert, and at Nuevo Vallarta, we make it with love and care. Our tres leches cake is soaked in three types of milk, creating a moist and rich cake that is topped with fresh whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Each bite is a creamy and delicious delight, perfect for those with a sweet tooth.
