“ i've had food from here 4 times. the first time i had their food was through uber eats. 0/5 it was a pretty bad meal. i ordered the pastrami and it just wasn't like an authentic pastrami. i also ordered a salad thinking it would be a side salad but it could've been a whole meal. there is no information or sauce selections on uber eats so i didn't know i could order any so they included 2 or 3 that weren't good on what was supposed to be a pastrami. but despite the sauces, the meat itself just wasn't consistent with an authentic pastrami. *i would recommend for the restaurant to list all of their sauce options and bread options for the paninis on uber eats, and also on their physical menu. the second experience, i had just finished a tour with the marina as the start/end point. i walked over to Benitto's from the tour office. if i had known this was the same place as the uber eats order- i would not have dined here. but i'm glad i didn't know because the meal was wonderful. i ordered the minestrone soup and smoked salmon panini which my tour guide recommended- and it was amazing. i enjoyed adding sauces to the panini: pesto, black olive, mustard, garlic. third time was uber eats too but i knew to specify in the instructions that i wanted the smoked salmon on toasted ciabatta and i asked for the sauces that i enjoyed. also ordered an iced latte which was good. fourth time was when i had a couple hours before i needed to be at the airport.. i didn't want to be gross before my flight and this restaurant has A/C and even though it gets a bit warm inside, it's still much cooler than every other restaurant i've been to. ordered the smoked salmon panini and a cappuccino. a very delicious final meal in PV. ”
“ Benitto’s – Marina Vallarta Stopped in for breakfast and tried the shakshuka — tasty, flavorful, and nicely prepared. The place has a relaxed marina vibe, a good spot to start the day if you’re in the area. Service was friendly and the setting makes it easy to linger a bit over coffee. Worth a visit if you’re looking for a solid breakfast option around Marina Vallarta. ”
“ Hey there, this is GeniePam visiting from Dubai ???????? originally from ???????? with my partner in crime from ???????? One of my favorite places to come when I’m home, which I probably visited once a week. I love their paninis: you choose their filling, their type of bread and the best part is all the dressings you can add and make it even more special! Just mouthwatering If you’d like more recs & spots all around the globe check me out IG: @iamgeniepam ”
“ Spent the day at the marina and this was our first stop. Food was delicious, especially the mahi mahi carpaccio! Service and atmosphere was good. Prices seem reasonable for the location. Would definitely return. ”
“ Lords and roast beef sandwiches are excellent. Editing to note that they have a great list of teas on the menu, but they have dwindled down to green tea only. Manager apparently doesn’t know how to shop. Also usually out of Coke Zero. ”
