For steak lovers seeking an unforgettable dining experience, AJ’s Prime Steakhouse is a must-visit spot. Nestled atop the Ancora Hotel in Punta de Mita, this gem is a celebration of USDA Prime beef perfected on live-fire. Since its establishment by Amanda & Jared Leonard—renowned for their MICHELIN Guide Denver 2023 recognition with AJ’s Pit Bar-B-Q in Denver—AJ’s Prime embodies a passion for the art of live-fire cooking. The USDA has set the standard for beef quality since 1927, and AJ's takes this commitment seriously, featuring only USDA Prime cuts -representing 2% of all graded beef. Every steak is expertly seasoned and smoked, then slowly cooked to a perfect rare before being seared on an 800-degree wood-fired grill. To finish, we lavish our steaks with house-made compound beef tallow.Savor every bite as the sun dips below the horizon, casting vibrant shades of orange and pink across the ocean. Dine indoors in the cool comfort of air-conditioning or outside on the terrace.
