Asian Mexican Fusion Cuisine in Banderas Bay

Whatever the origins there is no question that Asian-Mexican fusion cuisine is currently a “muy caliente” trend in the Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit dining scene.

In Puerto Vallarta, visit Archie’s Wok in the Zona Romantica, just steps from the beach, where you can enjoy great service as you sample creations that incorporate elements of Chinese, Philippine and Latin flavors like in their delicious Asian Gazpacho.

Chefs like Angel Carbajal and Masayuki Nikuro are collaboratively surprising guests at Nicksan restaurant in Nuevo Vallarta with innovative dishes like Black and White Sashimi and Hamachi curry.  

The best of Asian cuisine combined with the hearty, earthy fare of Mexico is producing such palate-tempters as Coconut Shrimp with Tamarindo & Chipotle Sauce and Tuna Latina, sesame and chili crusted tuna with rice noodle pasta and smoked bacon, at the popular Bistro Latino, located in Nuevo Vallarta in the 3.14 Plaza

Also at the 3.14 Plaza, you can enjoy cocktail mixed with an Asian/Latin influences like the mojitos with fresh berries and ginger, in the sophisticated atmosphere of Ginger Garden Lounge.

Although they seem like unlikely partners, the varied flavors and spices of Mexican and Asian cuisine make for a culinary playground for innovative chefs.
