La Esquina de los Caprichos

Off the beaten path in the city of Puerto Vallarta is a restaurant called La Esquina de los Caprichos.  If you are in PV and have the slightest interest in Basque cuisine, notably pintxos, make sure you go here!  The restaurant was recommended to us from friends of ours who are quite familiar with the area.  If they hadn't of told us about it there would have been no way that we would have found this little gem only a 5 minute walk from the Plaza Armas, downtown Puerto Vallarta.

Only 45 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta's airport, San Pancho (also referred to as San Francisco) seems miles away from the nightlife of PV.  There is no bus line that goes directly into town, which made it all the better.  San Pancho has a small population, yet it's culture is relatively diverse.  We encountered a number of ex-patriots from Canada and the U.S, even Europe and parts of South America.  However, the town still remained true to Mexico, with 'loud-speaker' fruit trucks being driven through the streets, roosters milling about, and family run taco stands on every corner.   I was so glad that we had decided to stay three more nights and enjoy the beach-filled bliss of the Mexican Riviera.
