General Info
Tucked along Rafael Osuna 157 in Versalles, Ernesto's Good Grub feels like one of those places you stumble upon once-and then keep coming back to. The location in Puerto Vallarta makes it easy to find, but it’s the laid-back atmosphere and satisfying menu that really leave an impression.
From the moment you walk in, the vibe is welcoming and unpretentious. There’s comfortable seating, an onsite bar, and a casual setup that works just as well for families as it does for a relaxed meal with friends. It’s also worth noting that the restaurant is good for kids, which makes it a solid choice if you’re traveling or dining out with family. Paying is simple too, with debit cards accepted, so there’s no hassle at the end of your visit.
Now, let’s talk about the food-because that’s where Ernesto's Good Grub really stands out. The Costillar de Cerdo BBQ is a must-try, offering tender, flavorful pork ribs coated in a rich barbecue glaze. If you’re visiting earlier in the day, the Steak and Eggs delivers a hearty, satisfying option that feels both classic and indulgent. Meanwhile, seafood lovers will appreciate the Shrimp Kabobs, which come perfectly grilled and packed with fresh flavor.
For something more casual but equally satisfying, the Costillitas Con Papas A la Francesa hits the spot, especially if you’re craving comfort food with a bit of flair. And then there’s the Nacho Soup-a unique dish that blends bold, savory elements into something surprisingly addictive. Each item on the menu feels thoughtfully prepared, and portions are generous without being overwhelming.
Pairing your meal with one of their cocktails is a great move. The bar onsite serves up refreshing drinks that complement the food nicely, whether you’re in the mood for something light or a bit stronger. It adds to the overall experience, making it easy to linger a little longer and enjoy the setting.
Reviews from visitors often highlight the consistent quality of both food and service, and after spending time here, it’s easy to see why. The staff keeps things running smoothly, and the overall experience feels genuine rather than overly polished. Ernesto's Good Grub isn’t trying to be fancy-it’s focused on doing good food right, in a location that feels approachable and easy to enjoy.
