A Typical Mexican Restaurant in Olas Altas / Los Muertos
One of the most traditional restaurants in Puerto Vallarta is El Querreque in Olas Altas.
The food is what you find in a small town lunch room or what you might be served in someone’s home. It’s simple, filling, and very tasty.
At El Querreque they serve breakfast and lunch. For some unknown reason, I have never gone for lunch. My favorite dish is Huevos a la Mexicana with a slice of ham. Prices are very fair. My eggs and a cup of coffee cost $45 pesos.
I like the old-time feel of the restaurant with it’s anti-chain restaurant decor. The pace unhurried, although service is quick and friendly.
The owner is a poet. The walls are covered in poems he has written over the years. If you know some Spanish, you will find some of them a little risque and very funny. Look for the poem about the worn out horse.
The poem above is one of the more serious poems and translated into English.
El Querreque is located on the corner of Francisca Rodriguez and Olas Altas street not far from the Los Arcos hotel.
