The editorial take
Puerto Vallarta Avon builds its drinks identity around Mexican cantina familiarity rather than agave scholarship. The official group menu moves from a Mangonada Margarita and Vallarta's Margarita to a Cantarito and Paloma, while recent Avon reporting specifically corroborates a peach margarita. Those choices make the program easy to read: fruit, citrus and tequila-led formats are meant to accompany a lively meal, not invite a seminar on rare bottles. The missing local alcoholic prices and limited disclosure of tequila producers keep the cocktail category from showing greater depth. The supporting categories are more revealing than expected. Beer covers Modelo Especial and Pacifico alongside Connecticut choices from Two Roads, including Lil' Heaven IPA and Road 2 Ruin Double IPA. Even better documented is the alcohol-free list: a virgin piña colada, two virgin margarita formats, a virgin mojito and fresh lemonade all carry current Avon prices. That gives nondrinkers actual choices rather than a token soda line. The program's chief strength is broad group usefulness; its next improvement should be an Avon-specific alcoholic menu with current prices and clearer tequila detail.
- What should I order?
- Use the Mangonada Margarita for the program's sweet-spicy center, switch to Modelo Especial with richer plates, or choose the $7.95 virgin mojito when drinking alcohol is not part of the evening.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups split between margarita drinkers, beer drinkers and nondrinkers are unusually well served; guests seeking a documented premium-agave backbar will find less information.
- When should I go?
- A social dinner makes the broadest use of the program, especially when the table wants different levels of sweetness and alcohol.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Current Avon zero-proof drinks run from $6.25 for a virgin margarita to $7.95 for a virgin mojito; alcoholic prices are not published on the accessible location page.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The Avon ordering menu gives its virgin margaritas, mojito and piña colada the same practical visibility that many cantinas reserve for alcoholic drinks.

How it sits with the food
A Paloma or Cantarito offers citrus against grilled and fried dishes, Mexican lager cools chile heat, and the virgin mojito supplies the same refreshing role without alcohol.
