I keep hearing about The Red Cabbage. I'm to PV early May and have decided that I must go. What dishes are recommended? I love everything from spicy to mild, from fish to chicken to beef.

Let's see, I had an excellent chicken mole, fairly spicy and rich. If you can't make up your mind, try the mixed mexican plate. And don't miss the spinach "salad" (cooked, chopped).

Any soup I have tried was excellent. For the less adventuresome they offer fresh grilled fish or spiny shrimps with vegetables and rice. I don't remember beef on the menu.

They offer several specialty stuffed chili pepper dishes.

It's rather international but with a strong Mexican favor. Excellent fish, Mole, salads, soups & when they are good wonderful shrimp/lobster. Lola buys all her sea food fresh & if it is not the best she passes on it that day. So it does vary from day to day.

Suze, We seem to go & enjoy the same places. Wonder in our paths ever crossed?

the specialty at the red cabbage is the chiles en nogadas. i was surprized to learn they are served chilled, but they were delicious.

If you liked the Red Cabbage, you'll love El Arrayan, voted best Mexican food for 5 years by Vallarta Lifestyles magazine.

Really Sad CARBON THAT YOU Feel the necessity to dig up old post to promote another café. Just what's you interest in dong so. Do you have a financial interest or What?

cabron

I didn't dig up anything, check the date of 'maghols' post.
I don't appreciate your post and your implications.

suze

Actually it was maghols who dug up an old post in the first place. But I think both Red Cabbage and El Arrayan deserve mention, so what's the harm?

Stewbear

Carbon. This was a specific request for info about The Red Cabbage from over 3 years ago. It did not ASK for information on any other restaurant. so I stand by my statement. Since when do we do unsolicited Shilling?

suze

"Since when"? well basically every day on Fodor's.

People make alternative suggestions *all the time* when someone asks about a particular restaurant or hotel in a particular location. You know I love Red Cabbage, but I wouldn't call it "unsolicited shilling" because someone mentions another similar possibility.

Stewbear

Well Suze We will have to agree to disagree on that one. There are dozens of fine restaurants in PV BUT the poster was only asking about one. Should all have been listed?

suze

Sure, why not? (should all have been listed)

People do it ALL the time. I say "go to Cafe de Olla". They say that place is no good go next door to Fajita Republic instead. They say "go to La Palapa", I say "that place is way too expensive, go anywhere else" etc. etc. etc.

Red Cabbage is great, BUT yes another recommendation is always appropriate because nobody spends their entire vacation at one restaurant. I have to agree with Suze (about the exquisite La Palapa) and I always Just LOVE Pipi's for the atmosphere with the families and the huge crowds from the ships. But its just one personal opinion. IT's called SHARING OUR info. Cheers

Stewbear

Lo Siento Ladies pero that's like giving someone directions on how to get to Mazatlan when they want to go to Manzanillo. The poster was question specific & DID NOT ask for suggestions on other eateries. My last comment.

suze

I recently asked about a specific hotel on a Trip Advisor forum. Very specific. Exactly and only about *1* hotel. And guess what, I got all kinds of alternative suggestions and information. But I also got the answer to the question I first asked.

This is kind of a silly argument imho in this particular thread, since the person asked the original question over 2-1/2 YEARS AGO!
