Why go
A practical Centro choice for an easy special-occasion dinner in Puerto Vallarta, especially if the tequila-bar element is part of the appeal. Book it for atmosphere and low-friction planning, not for a documented tasting-menu or chef-driven meal.
About The Iguana Restaurant & Tequila Bar
The Iguana Restaurant & Tequila Bar is a Puerto Vallarta dinner option with a direct evening schedule. It is open daily from 5–9 PM.
A dinner-only option in Puerto Vallarta
The venue is best planned as an evening stop rather than a lunch or all-day option. Its hours are the same every day: 5–9 PM Monday through Sunday. That makes it simple to place within a Puerto Vallarta night out.
The name identifies it as The Iguana Restaurant & Tequila Bar, but specific cuisine, pricing, beverage offerings, bar-program details are not listed here, so it is worth checking those before making it the centerpiece of a food-driven trip.
Who should choose it, who should look elsewhere
Choose it if the 5–9 PM daily dinner window fits your plan and you are comfortable confirming menu, price, dress, reservation details directly. It is not the right pick if you need a venue selected around a tasting-menu format, documented signature dishes, a named chef, or confirmed accolades.
For the broader local shortlist, use the Puerto Vallarta restaurants guide to compare it with other dining options. If the night is part of a wider trip, pair that with the city guides for hotels, bars, experiences rather than treating dinner as the whole plan.

Restaurant context
How it compares in Puerto Vallarta
Hacienda San Angel Gourmet Restaurant and La Cappella are the more obvious cross-shops for a romantic, occasion-led Puerto Vallarta dinner. Choose The Iguana Restaurant & Tequila Bar when an easier booking and tequila-bar framing matter; choose those peers when the priority is a more formal destination-dinner feel.
Tintoque is the sharper choice for diners who want the food to lead the night. The Iguana Restaurant & Tequila Bar is a safer fit for a mixed group that wants Centro convenience and a celebratory setting without making the meal feel too structured.
Bean and Brick and TRIO RESTAURANT are better cross-shops when value, casual flexibility, or a more restaurant-first decision matters. If the brief is date-night atmosphere with an easy reservation, The Iguana Restaurant & Tequila Bar stays in the conversation; if the brief is maximum food focus, start with Tintoque or TRIO RESTAURANT.
