Dining at Bonito Lounge in Puerto Vallarta: My Honest Review
The B Lounge (Basilio Badillo 229) is located in the heart of Zona Romantica and brings the VIBES!
Plant wall - Bonito Lounge - Puerto Vallarta Restaurant
The plants alone are really stunning and I am a SL*T for a wall of plants. Like, LOVE LOVE LOVE plants. So, before we even sat down I was in heaven. I came here during low season so as you can see on the right, it was quite quiet. But the food was absolutely DELIGHTFUL.
So for starters, we went with the Bao. I didn’t get a pic lol. But they were absolutely divine. I was shocked to find such good asian inspired food in Mexico. But here we are. And, I keep trying to tell people that Puerto Vallarta is a foodie’s town. There is so much food in this town and the food ranges from all sorts of cultures. These were soft as pillows. 10/10
The Ramen with Pork Belly - Bonito Lounge - Puerto Vallarta Restaurant
I slurped that right on up…. lol! It was really good. That broth was soooo flavorful. The pork belly was added cost but so worth it. It was the perfect amount, too. I was origianlly like damn I’m gonna be sweating buckets after eating this but I surprisingly was fine. It was nice to taste such great ramen in Mexico. I have been on the hunt! Below is what my friend ordered, I believe it was the cod:
Seared Cod with rice and asparagus - Bonito Lounge - Puerto Vallarta Restaurant
Very tasty! Now, you may be saying to yourself, sushi in Mexico cannot be good. But you’ll be sadly mistaken once you try this here at B Lounge. I was so shocked. The crunch of all the veggies with the savory fish, and whatever sauce it was in was absolutely delectable. I fully ate that up and wanted another roll, tbh. But I knew I had to save room for dessert.
Spicy Tuna Roll- Bonito Lounge - Puerto Vallarta Restaurant
She’s soft. She’s hard (because she’s ice cream), and she’s absolutely DELICIOUS. I gobbled this right on up, too. They had to wheel me out of here, haha. I’m telling you this was a treat. As if the actual ice cream wasn’t good enough, there’s a nice glaze atop and very plump blueberries (can’t beat that!). Pictured below…

Espresso Martini - Bonito Lounge - Puerto Vallarta Restaurant
One of the best espresso martini’s I’ve had in town. It’s hard to find good ones here. Martini bars aren’t really a big deal here. But this will definitely be in the rotation, now. I could NOT sleep after it, either. It wound me up. I thought we were going to go out a bit after dinner but we were all so full and tired after we didn’t end up going out.
So if you go, let me know what you think, and tell them you heard about it here. :) Enjoy!
