- EericGoldPuerto Vallarta •22 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoI wouldn’t believe all the reviews. Going in, wasn’t expecting much from all the negatives. It’s a new hotel, probably takes time to get it all dialed in. We had my birthday dinner last night. Service amazing. Noise wasn’t a factor like a lot of reviews. Food was really good. Pricing at a resort is always a little more, but very convenient so worth it.More infoOld Hickory Steakhouse$$$$• Steakhouse• National City•4.4

I had the Poblano Chilaquiles. It was one of the best I have ever eaten, maybe the best. I will definitely be back.More infoFarmer's Table - Chula Vista$$$$• American• Chula Vista / Bonita•4.5
