| We congratulate all of the 2009 Virtual Vallarta Readers' Choice Restaurant Award winners and invite you to visit VirtualVallarta.com for more details. |  | Long considered one of the top gastronomic destinations in Mexico, Puerto Vallarta is home to a vast array of restaurants serving a wide variety of cuisines to suit every taste and budget.
