Our Story

PV’s Most Fun
Night Out

Since 1997, Republic has been the corner table everyone wants. Right on Basilio Badillo in the heart of Zona Romántica — where the energy of Puerto Vallarta plays out right in front of you.

We’re not fine dining. We’re better. Fajitas served with actual flames at your table, Espresso Martinis that have become local legend, and a vibe that turns every dinner into a story you tell when you get home.

“Had dinner here with some friends. The staff were very attentive and polite and helpful and our group enjoyed our meals, the ladies all had the chicken taco salad which was very tasty and my husband had the chicken fajitas which he said was good, overall a reasonably priced place to eat and good food, I'd go again.”

“From the moment I walked up, the warmth of the staff made me feel like I was being welcomed home. The food? Absolutely delicious. Beautifully presented and full of flavor. From the crispy, golden fries to the sizzling fajitas and all the scrumptious bites in between, every dish was a hit. Republic is an absolute must-stop for anyone visiting Vallarta.”

“This place is incredibly chill. The pork shank was outstanding, served on a flaming plate that made the whole bar stop and stare. The shrimp tacos were unreal, easily, according to my wife, 'the best tacos I've ever had.' Put this spot on your must-visit list when you're in Puerto Vallarta.”

“The service and food is so on point! The margaritas are massive and delicious, some of the BEST in Puerto Vallarta. I had the surf and turf, which featured a mouthwatering garlic sauce and a tender juicy steak cooked to perfection. I can't recommend this place enough for food, service, and drinks!”
