Represented by one of TripAdvisor's 'Best Fine Dining Restaurants in México,' Trio's Executive Chef Bernhard Guth worked with renowned New York Chef Frankies Spuntino to show off Puerto Vallarta's diverse gastronomy and seafood offerings. The pair served an octopus grilled dish with guajillo and garlic on hummus and cilantro that had lines circling the Puerto Vallarta table.
