For steak lovers seeking an unforgettable dining experience, AJ’s Prime Steakhouse is a must-visit destination. Nestled atop the Ancora Hotel in Punta de Mita, this gem offers not just a meal, but a celebration of USDA Prime beef that is a cut above the rest.

Since its establishment by Amanda and 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 finest meats and 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 the rarest USDA Prime cuts, which represent a mere 2% of all graded beef.

Every steak here is a testament to culinary craftsmanship. Each cut is expertly seasoned and smoked, then slowly cooked to a perfect rare before being seared to perfection on an 800-degree wood-fired grill. This meticulous technique imbues each steak with an irresistible smoky flavor and a tantalizing char that will leave your taste buds longing for more. To finish, we lavish our steaks with house-made compound beef tallow, elevating the richness and depth of flavor.

But it’s not just about the steak; it’s about the entire experience. Picture yourself savoring each bite while basking in arguably the best rooftop view in the region. As the sun sets over the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, our welcoming staff is dedicated to ensuring that your evening is nothing short of extraordinary.

Join us at AJ’s Prime Steakhouse, where every meal is a masterpiece and every visit is a memorable journey through the flavors of America. Indulge in the finest steak, surrounded by breathtaking views, and let us create an unforgettable dining experience that you’ll treasure long after the last bite.
