Virtual Vallarta and Readers' Choice announced the winners best places to visit in Puerto Vallarta 2012

Surprise! They decided to deliver the highly-anticipated results of our annual Readers' Choice Awards a few days earlier than anticipated. Since 2002, they've been polling our reader's for their choices on Puerto Vallarta's favorite eateries. This year, we received more votes than ever before, confirming that locals and visitors truly enjoy Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit's culinary scene, second to none in all of Mexico, except for Mexico City.

 

Needless to say, more votes translated into fiercer competition than ever before. Because of this, they will no longer announcing "Runner-Ups" in several categories.
