Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico - There's no better place to sample authentic Mexican cuisine than in Mexico. And in Puerto Vallarta, there's no better place to try it than at Daiquiri Dick's Restaurant, where this week's special menu features the Flavors of Oaxaca through April 3, 2016.

Known internationally for its exquisite cuisine, Oaxaca (wah-ha-ka) is one of Mexico's most important food regions. Because of its mountain ranges, the state, located in the southwestern part of Mexico, has a number of climates and cultures, which contributes to making the food the most varied in Mexico. The cooking of each region is characterized by local ingredients and to some extent cooking methods.

Daiquiri Dick's Executive Chef Ignacio Uribe, Chef de Cuisine Hugo Mejia, and Sous Chef Rogelio Garcia have developed a menu reflecting the many flavors of Oaxacan food. This special a la carte dinner menu is served from 5 to 11 pm through April 3, 2016.
