Many travelers imagine Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, as this tourist-heavy Mexican beach town — which it can be — but there’s so much more to it. The city expands well beyond the boardwalk and runs along historic cobblestone streets, winding around architectural beauties covered in pastel paint, boasting an authentic, local, old-world charm only the historic side of town can offer.
One such neighborhood, Versalles is a historic locale and growing foodie neighborhood north of La Vena and east of the beach. This corner of the city is a true find for those looking to escape the crowded beach bars and restaurants and get away from downtown for some local cuisine.
For something trendy and off-the-beaten path, but with all the regional favorites, try Abulón, Antojería del Mar. With fresh seafood, incredible guacamole and some of the largest margaritas in town, this stop is a must for fresh, local cuisine in an open-air atmosphere.
Walk around town enjoying the low-key splendor of the rainbow-painted buildings and shops lining the quiet streets — a rare find in this town.
Get your lay of the land with Puerto Vallarta Food Tour’s new culinary tour and immersive exploration through this up-and-coming side of town. While not actually new, this corner of the city is actually quite historic.
