Reviews Summary
Talavera offers a dining experience with spectacular ocean views and attentive service, particularly noted for its impressive breakfast buffet and unique tableside preparations. While many praise the ambiance and certain dishes like the octopus and paella, some guests find the pricing, especially for the steak and Taco Tuesday offerings, to be on the higher side.
"This was our second time eating here. The first time, about 18 months ago was good, but not particularly memorable. This time was phenomenal.
First, the atmosphere is incredible. We chose to eat outside and the views of the pool, the beach, and the ocean were amazing. The perfect atmosphere to start with some specialty cocktails. Stacy enjoyed the lychee-tini cocktail and I loved the nacho margarita, an extremely spicy margarita.
Our server Daniel was delightful. He was friendly, professional, and offered some excellent suggestions. His smile was contagious and he treated us like his only table.
At Daniels suggestion we tried the queso fundido. This wasn't your typical queso and chips. It was prepared and served table side. A piping hot molcajete was brought to the table with three types of cheeses. The cheese was placed in the molcajete and melted. Flaming tequila was added (quite the show!) as well as local chorizo, corn, and roasted poblano peppers. It was served with tortilla chips, and both corn and flour tortillas. There were three different salsas that could have been added.
This appetizer was huge and could have easily served four, but it was so good we finished it. Of course this made us reevaluate our dinner plans. Instead of ordering two separate entrees, we decide to split the sea bass. It was mild, moist, tender and flakey. It was served with sauteed vegetables and a spicy sweet potato puree. It was excellent.
We decided to split the tamal chocolate. It was a small chocolate tamal served with mamay ice cream and vanilla sauce. While small, it was great for sharing after a huge meal."

"Tried the buffet ($40). The fruit cuts were the best part. Fresh tacos were good too."

"Looking for a breakfast spot and this was located inside of the hotel. They have continental breakfast or buffet. I decided to get the buffet breakfast which had a ton of choices. My girlfriend decided to get the continental breakfast and she was pleasantly happy with the stuff they provided. You can see from the pictures that there was plenty to choose from. I definitely got my $40 USD worth. And she was happy with the $24 continental lots to choose from fresh and yummy. We both left full. Oh by the way specialty coffee is an extra charge but I do recommend a double espresso."
