La Esquina de los Caprichos

Yes, it's true, as one reviewer observed, that Adan's wife Mirella is less than cordial with the guests. Pity poor Adan. But Adan and his staff cook the most fabulous tapas I've ever had outside of Spain. Ignore Mirella, and enjoy Adan's wonderful cooking. The pulpo is to die for!

I hope the owner read this:my husban pand i,enjoy our honey moon in the beatyfull puerto vallarta untill some friends recomends this place.....big dissappoiment, no even the excelent food can help the poor maners that the waitress?had whit any of the costumers was there treats as a ignorans aanother couple was there and dare to ask the mean of the name of the place;and about us we never get any nice actitud from this " lady" we absolute feel so unwelcome ,our table was dirty,no silverwear, in a moment I was confused about my choice to eat, I get a "no" as a anwser for help!!! We was stunning for this.you can imagine that ruin the experience. About a romantic lunch in a " recomended wonderfully"new place,no thanks

Having spent five days in PV and returned only yesterday, we managed to eat twice at La Esquina. Miren and Adan were perfect hosts and the food was most authentic. I say this as someone who has been going to Spain since 1973. Everything you would expect to find at a small tapa bar in Madrid you will find here. The fideua de camaron was one of the best I have eaten. The ali-oli was full strength. There are a number of wines by the glass and all of them are Spanish. The place is small - six or seven tables -, but it is run by people who have put their heart and soul into the cooking. The interior is sparse and rather dark, but the overall experience is unforgettable.
