Laguna Tino's

Laguna Tino's Review

Vine-covered trees poke through the roof of the breeze-blessed, covered outdoor eatery overlooking a placid lagoon. The Carvajal family has worked hard to make this Nuevo Vallarta restaurant a local favorite. Tino's is full even midweek, mainly with groups of friends or businesspeople leisurely discussing deals. A multitude of solicitous, efficient waiters proffer green-lipped mussels meunière; shrimp in béchamel-almond sauce with mushrooms, spinach, and bacon; and the regional specialty, fish sarandeado (rubbed with herbs and cooked over a wood fire). For something simpler, try shrimp or marlin tacos, or the grilled catch of the day.
