Restaurant Marcelita
Make Every Meal Memorable

We want every aspect of your stay at Marcela to be perfect, including your meals. That’s why we recruited one of the finest chefs in Mexico to create a custom menu exclusively for our resort guests.

Visit our on-site restaurant for breakfast and start your day off with an exceptional selection of traditional favorites. Or return for lunch and dinner and enjoy an elevated dining experience. Our chef uses only the freshest ingredients to offer our guests his own refined and resplendent take on Mexican cuisine. You will not find a better meal in all of Puerto Vallarta, and you can enjoy it all in the comfort and privacy of our luxurious restaurant.

Reserve a private Chef’s Dinner or have every meal in our dining room—you won’t regret it.

Chef Jesús

I started my culinary career at the age of 15, working as an apprentice for the renowned Mexican chef Sixto Mejia Lopez. Working with Chef Sixto Lopez was the inflection point to my interest in cooking professionally—I even stopped attending university, so I could continue developing my skills in restaurants around Mexico. I spent years perfecting my craft in the kitchens of some fantastic vacation destinations, including Casa Cupula, Vidanta, Villa Premier, Grand Miramar, Casa Demae, and other luxury locations.

Now, after 17 years of experience, I am proud to be leading the culinary team here at the Marcela Resort & Spa. Every day we come to work, we want to make sure that we’re bringing only the best food and drink to your table and, more than anything, I want to make sure your dining experience is completely unforgettable.

That was my goal when I was asked to create a new menu for Marcelita, and my team works tirelessly to bring that level of quality to every dish we prepare.
