Puerto Vallarta Bruce's Back Alley
Been here almost a month and tooling all around the bay area here. Returned to one of my fave restaurants. Read on...
Rarely does a restaurant change ownership and maintain the same quality of food and service as its predecessor. This has occurred with the famed Bruce's Back Alley in South Side. Bruce sold his chic steakhouse to Jason and stayed for a couple months to assist, advise and assure that the recipes used were identical to the originals. A vast majority of owners depart after the transaction is made but Bruce stayed to implement a smooth transition. The results are beautifully presented plates of chops, chicken, steaks and fish with the same care and dedication as before.
The dining room is subdued yet colorful with proper lighting. Artwork compliments the air of the space, with tables far enough apart to allow quiet conversation. The temperature is set at a comfortable level.
A group of us had the pleasure of dining there recently. We started with Bruce Ketta, a whimsical name for the classic bruschetta. The topping is made of diced fresh tomato with Italian seasoning and a slight tang. It rests on thick slices of crispy toast perfect for drippy finger food while deciding on a choice from the tempting entrées.
It took all my strength not to order my customary main course, double-wide bone-in pork chop forestière, a sauce of spinach, rosemary, garlic and mushrooms, served over a huge bed of garlic mashed potatoes made fresh daily. Instead of opting for his terrific grilled rib eye, filet mignon or New York with compound butter, I decided upon Jason's recommended butter maple wild salmon fillet grilled and topped with a silky maple clove butter reduction. The fish was thick, large portioned and very moist. The maple and sweetness complimented but did not overwhelm the meat. Each forkful was a delight. The dish was finished with the same potatoes and chunky al dente vegetables. Steaks may be ordered with a red wine mushroom sauce, chantilly peppercorn or Roquefort.
Another specialty is the tropical tangy citrus sauce made with apple, pear, pineapple juice and garlic. It is presented on the pork chop or juicy chicken breast. Roasted baby potatoes are available. For lovers of delicate fish, an herb encrusted white fish is offered.
But for dessert lovers, aim for the classic brownie accented with vanilla ice cream drizzled with smooth caramel. One cannot go wrong when you finish your meal here.

Restaurant Guide Beck's Best
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and/or the surrounding areas~
Most of us love to dine when in a new place or learn more about the town and area where we live! I live in Puerto Vallarta part-time and have been visiting since 1979, so if you desire info, write me anytime. Now you can purchase my famous spiral bound 109 page 362+ restaurants guide which has become a hit with visitors and local residents alike with places ranging from street food up to 5* dining. After 20+ years in the restaurant business, I have learned much about knowing and making fine food.
In June 2005, my Puerto Vallarta Restaurant Guide Beck's Best progressed from a small document emailed for free into the largest most up-to-date dining guide in the PV Bay Area due to the high cost to me personally. For many years, I have hiked from spot to spot, dining, taking notes and pictures, talking to owners, managers, waiters, hosts, etc. Though fun and rewarding, it has gotten quite costly figuring in the food and beverages, plane fares, condo rentals and taxis that I realized it was time for a small compensation for this work which is a great benefit to visitors and residents alike, edited almost daily. I do not receive free meals nor accept advertisement, calling it my labor of love. I publish works in the major PV area English language newspapers and magazines and have recorded a radio program for Paco Ojeda's the VU. I am a food columnist for the Banderas News online.
I am proud to release the latest issue 2009:
