Puerto Vallarta Revamps its Day of the Dead Celebrations

Messages from Vallarta: The Traveler Series

Serrano’s Closed again for food poisoning

Looks like this is the second time this year that Serrano’s was forced to close down by the city of Puerto Vallarta.  They seem to be plagued by a case of salmonella that they can not shake. This is the second time this year that they have had to close there doors because of sick customers. Serrano’s has been a very popular place to eat in Old Town Puerto Vallarta  in the past.
