The Experience
A Front-Row Seat to Playa Los Muertos
Few places capture the character of Puerto Vallarta quite like Cuates y Cuetes. Located directly beside the iconic Los Muertos Pier, the restaurant offers an uninterrupted connection to the lively beachfront and the changing beauty of Banderas Bay.
From breakfast beside the water to leisurely afternoons with friends, the atmosphere is welcoming and wonderfully unhurried. Open-air seating and tables along the sand invite guests to enjoy the ocean breeze while watching the daily life of the beach unfold.
As evening approaches, the restaurant becomes an especially memorable place to experience the sunset, with beautiful views across the bay and the illuminated pier nearby.
A Home for Live Jazz
Live music has long been central to the identity of Cuates y Cuetes.
Under the influence of owner Teté Hernández, an enthusiastic supporter of Puerto Vallarta’s music community, the restaurant has become a cherished meeting place for musicians and jazz lovers.
Over the years, performers including Trem de Minas, Los Falcones, Mi Perro Jazz, Faralae, and Media Luna have contributed to its distinctive musical heritage.
The music ranges from jazz and Latin rhythms to acoustic guitar and other styles, creating an atmosphere that feels spontaneous, personal, and deeply connected to the destination.
Performance schedules and participating musicians vary throughout the year.
Sunsets and the Pier
Cuates y Cuetes enjoys one of the most recognizable beachfront locations in Puerto Vallarta, immediately beside the Los Muertos Pier.
The pier’s distinctive architecture, passing boats, and panoramic coastal views create a wonderful backdrop for a relaxed afternoon or evening.
Guests can enjoy a refreshing cocktail while watching the changing light over Banderas Bay, then explore the lively restaurants, boutiques, and streets of the Zona Romántica just a short walk away.
