Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - What happens when East and West converge in the kitchen? Pacific Rim cuisine! Truly a medley of flavors, Pacific Rim cuisine combines Asian and West Coast ingredients and cooking techniques, along with cultural and culinary influences, to create new and exciting dishes.

Daiquiri Dick's is pleased to announce the (temporary) return of former Manager and Chef Hnoi Lattitham. Born and raised in Thailand, Hnoi spent over ten years cultivating the restaurant's menu with Executive Chef Ignacio Uribe.

Together they fused classic Mexican, European and American ingredients and added a spirited dose of Asian, Indian and northern African flavors to create the dishes that made Daiquiri Dick's one of Puerto Vallarta's favorite restaurants.

This weekend, Chef Hnoi will present a special a la carte dinner menu featuring Pacific Rim specialties that are being served from 5:00 to 11:00 pm through March 17th.
