We stopped by El Ray BBQ Grill in Versalles just for drinks and really liked the place. The vibe is nice and funky, with a relaxed, casual atmosphere that makes you want to hang around. It feels friendly and unpretentious, perfect for an easy stop without any pressure. A cool spot in the neighborhood for a drink and good energy — we’ll definitely come back to try the food next time.

When I tell you this place brought me to tears with how refreshing, lovely, wholesome, real and transparent the owners are and the thoughtful, detailed atmosphere they have created. The husband and wife who owns this are an obvious power couple. So personal. Everything, down to the jam but on the cheesecake is completely homemade. The cornbread is the best I’ve ever tasted. The whole atmosphere relays love, down to the luxury powder rooms. It was the most beautiful ending to a gorgeous vacation. Mind you, this experience happened last minute on New Years Eve where they could have easily disregarded us and said no service. It’s what we all didn’t know we needed. It’s reminiscent of the charm Mexico used to have. Their goal and mission for this restaurant in my opinion has reached success and beyond - full of heart and endless vision. Thank you all!!

El Rey was fantastic!! Lorenzo and Riannah (the owners) are super attentive and accommodating to most allergies/preferences all you had to do was ask! Staff are knowledgeable and I cannot recommend enough. This is a must visit for sports fans or anyone who enjoys good food and service. The lime marg and Super Bowl board were amazing. Roberto was a fantastic server, incredibly knowledgeable and kind!!

Lorenzo & Rianna have an amazing spot. Super accommodating to our large group & the food is AMAZING!!! Smoked chicken wings, brisket, sausage & cowboy beans were to die for. Corn bread (for the gluten eaters) was delish as well. This is a must try when visiting PV! If you’re a sports fan - they will put whatever game you need on the TV! Oh & the margs are crazy good! Our server Roberto & bartender Brie were superb!

Lissa Foster

Great little find. Terrific Superbowl Board with a mix of smoked fare ....but not too smoky. Corn bread to die for. Terrific pork and beans. Of course great Margaritas! Worth the visit. Bit of a 'Texas BBQ' feel.with Mexicn feel.and flair. Roberto provides excellent service!!

I had such a wonderful experience here at El Ray Bar & Grill PV. I ordered the pulled pork street tacos and they were outstanding — the pork was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and the homemade pico de gallo was fresh and absolutely delicious. I also loved that they had a festive Christmas cocktail menu. The Negroni Navidad was so tasty and perfectly festive — a really fun and thoughtful touch. The best part of the visit was meeting the owner, Rheanna (apologies if I’m spelling her name wrong). I was traveling solo, so I sat at the bar. I ended up chatting with her for over an hour, and she was incredibly personable, warm, and welcoming. She made me feel like I’d been a friend for years rather than a first-time guest. This is a family owned business and Rheanna and husband Lawrence have put so much thought into the menu and the experience for their guests. Amazing food, great drinks, and genuine hospitality. I will absolutely be back.

Really nice atmosphere, chicken wings were amazing, the BBQ sauce with them also really flavorful. We had a great time our first night in PV there for dinner and booked a tequila tasting for later in the week. The tequila tasting was so fun, learned a bit about the history and process involved in making tequila. The parings were very good, the host was engaging and all service staff extremely friendly. Will go back next time we are in PV.

Last minute plans to secure a legit Thanksgiving Feast. We were not disappointed. Owner and staff at El Ray Bar & Grill made it happen! Everything hit all of the right notes and we loved the staff. Thanks El Ray!

Travis Sinnott

Good food, and great vibes! All at very reasonable prices. Really great decor! It's a lounge built for a king. Same owners as my other favorite bar in Versailles. The food here leans towards bbq and bar food one might expect in Texas. The sliders are my favorite, but try the specials. It's a full bar with talented staff too--get a specialty cocktail or something fancy. You won't be disappointed. Sports are not my thing, but they are also known to have the big game on one or more TVs.

El Rey Bar & Grill is hands down one of the best spots in Puerto Vallarta! The owners, Lawrence and his beautiful bride, have created an atmosphere that feels like home the moment you walk in. Their hospitality and energy set the tone for an unforgettable experience every single time. The wings and cornbread are absolutely the best in the city — perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and made with love. The house tequila is smooth and top-tier — it’s a must-try! Service is friendly, fast, and genuine, and yes — they have air conditioning, which makes it the perfect place to relax, eat, and catch up with friends in comfort. And don’t miss their second spot right up the street called “The Office” — another incredible bar that delivers the same great vibes and warm welcome. If you’re in PV and looking for great food, great people, and a great time — El Rey Bar & Grill is the place to be!

I love my drink as you can see... that spicy Tamarindo 🔥 is delicious and very cold... exactly what I needed after a long flight through immigration and everything hot outside... as soon as I enter nice decor vibe, we were greeted by a very friendly waiter, pulls my chair out and tuck me into the bar in that comfy chair... the awesome AC brushing my head im ready to eat, drink and sleep haha... oh the aroma of pulled pork hits the air was so delicious. My hubby had the chili and that was delicious looking as well... the cowboys is Denver Broncos in the air playing. In a way its like home away from home vibe too. The bartender she was lovely from Canada. Everyone was friendly and nice. We were told about the tastings they have there and was given a shot of that delicious racilla from the mountain ⛰️ so I'm looking forward to come back for a more informative tastings and discovering the difference between costal racilla and mountain racilla.

Good food, delicious cocktails, and a dreamy cheesecake. The best cheesecake I've ever had. The service is top-notch, the best service I've experienced in Mexico.

Lime Chili

Bri was awesome .. recommended three dishes and I ordered them all . Was so good. Friendly service and fun atmosphere. The food is BOMB!! See photos

Jenny Bartlett

Lorenzo and Ree are the most welcoming people! Fabulous environment and knowledgeable for tequilla tasting. Beer selection is amazing but the owners are the gems! The bathrooms are gram worthy.

Stumbled in on a hot day while walking with my girlfriend — the inviting exterior and cool decor (plus the blast of AC) totally drew us in. Right away, we were greeted by Bre, who was super friendly and pointed us toward their killer happy hour: a beer and a shot for just 100 pesos. Unreal. Joshy behind the bar whipped up one of the best margaritas I’ve had in all of Puerto Vallarta — no joke. The owner, Lorenzo, even stopped by to say hello. Just as warm and welcoming as the rest of the crew. I’m pretty picky, and this place hit all the marks. Phenomenal food, incredible service, great vibes. Easily an 11/10. Highly recommend to anyone in the area.

**El Ray BBQ – A Must-Visit in Puerto Vallarta!** What a charming and inviting spot! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. The customer service was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and truly dedicated to making the experience enjoyable. My husband and I ordered the brisket and burnt ends, and we were blown away. The flavors were rich, smoky, and perfectly balanced—each bite was a delight. The drinks were just as impressive, expertly crafted and refreshing. El Ray BBQ is definitely a place we highly recommend. Whether you're a barbecue lover or just looking for a great spot with excellent service and ambiance, this is the place to be!

I was torn with my review for El Rey. On the one hand, we enjoyed the food quite a bit but on the other hand, there was no smoke ring and no smoke flavor. After we ate, we went out back and saw they had two Masterbuilt electric smokers and a tiny bag of tiny wood chips, no chunks and certainly no logs. If I saw that before we ate I would have left. I had the brisket platter for 450 pesos and what was surprising is that it was the leanest brisket I have ever had in my life. Otherwise, if it was traditional American brisket it would have been a disaster with that electric smoker. I had to use a steak knife to cut the brisket! But it was very tasty even if it wasn't really smoky. My wife had the burnt ends (220 pesos) which she liked and I didn't. They were way too fatty because they were not properly smoked. We had the happy hour cocktails (100 pesos apiece). I liked the powdered salt on the side of my glass and the dehydrated lime was a nice garnish. I couldn't taste the tequila so it clearly wasn't a heavy pour. Happy hour goes until 7pm. If you want a very nice meal, I recommend it but let's level set expectations. It's not Texas or St. Louis or Kansas City BBQ. Not with an electric smoker and a tiny bag of tiny wood chips. We will return because I want to try the chili or the Fritos pie.

Owners from Oklahoma. Very pleasant! Very nice place. Comfortable seating. Clean bathrooms. Staff extremely helpful and kind. Food was incredible. My smoked ribs were spot on. Tender fall off the bone. Wish I would have found it earlier in my trip. 100 % fantastic!

Amazing food and drinks in the Versalles. The pulled pork sliders are amazing. Best chicken wings ever, they are smoked. Impeccable service and a beautiful back garden. You have to go here!!! Hidden gem on Vienna!! Edit: We've been to this place MANY times now and the 5 star should be a 10. This is a favorite waterhole for us. A slice of paradise. This should be your first stop in Versalles!!
