Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, November 5, 2026 – Restaurants and venues in Puerto Vallarta have announced Thanksgiving dinners and shows for Thursday, November 26, including traditional turkey menus, beachfront meals, and live entertainment.
For expats making plans with friends, a partner, or visiting family, the practical question is where to book a meal that fits both the budget and the group.
Published complete-meal offers range from 650 pesos at Andale’s to 1,975 pesos at Café des Artistes. The differences go beyond the menu: some include entertainment or selected drinks, while others charge separately for beverages, gratuity or admission.
The listings below were checked November 5. All prices are in Mexican pesos and all times are local. For other outings around your holiday meal, consult Vallarta Daily’s Puerto Vallarta events calendar.
Traditional turkey dinners at lower published prices
Andale’s, at Olas Altas 425 in the Zona Romántica, is advertising a three-course Thanksgiving dinner for 650 pesos per person. Its November 26 offer includes pumpkin bisque, turkey breast, and dessert.
The restaurant lists regular dinner service from 6 to 11 p.m., but the holiday description does not specify Thanksgiving seating times. Guests should confirm their reservation time through OpenTable or by calling 322 222 1054.
At Oscar’s, on Isla Río Cuale 1, the Thanksgiving dinner announcement gives two specific seatings: 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. The price is 999 pesos per person for four courses and a live DJ.
The menu starts with a roasted beet mini tostada and pumpkin soup, followed by turkey breast stuffed with cornbread, mushrooms, nuts, and cranberries. Mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, gravy, and cranberry sauce accompany the main course; dessert is coconut panna cotta with pineapple.
Oscar’s also lists a stuffed squash vegetarian main. Children can order from its regular children’s menu at usual prices, so families don’t have to book the adult holiday meal for every guest. Reservations are available through the restaurant’s website or at 322 223 0789.
Thanksgiving dinner with a show
Casa Cupula’s Pool Club PV is hosting its Thanksgiving Dinner & Show from 7 to 9 p.m., with access beginning at 6:30 p.m. The event listing places the Pool Club at Callejón de la Igualdad 133 in Amapas.
Tickets are advertised at 1,399 pesos plus a booking fee. According to the published dinner-show listing, the evening includes an all-you-can-eat Thanksgiving buffet, a welcome drink, and live entertainment. The listing advertises drag performers, singers, and a fire show, though it does not name the individual performers.
The event is LGBTQ-focused and welcomes friends and allies, with a minimum age of 18. Tickets are available through the Eventbrite link on Casa Cupula’s events page.
At The Top Sky Bar in Almar Resort, Amapas 380, Thanksgiving at The Top combines a rooftop dinner buffet with a show. Doors open at 6 p.m., and the performance starts at 7:30 p.m.
The advertised price is 1,950 pesos per person, excluding drinks and gratuity. The venue is adults-only, making the age policy a deciding factor for anyone organizing a family gathering. Reservations are offered through OpenTable.
Two beachfront options on Los Muertos
La Palapa and El Dorado are both advertising Thanksgiving dinner from 5:30 p.m. on November 26. Both say their regular dinner menus will remain available, giving mixed groups an alternative when some guests want turkey, and others prefer their usual restaurant choices.
At La Palapa, Púlpito 105-3, the published holiday menu lists pear carpaccio for 297 pesos, roast turkey for 792 pesos, and sweet potato cheesecake for 295 pesos. The turkey comes with white wine gravy, cranberry jelly, cornbread, and vegetables.
Next door at El Dorado, Púlpito 102, the menu lists green apple salad for 275 pesos, turkey with traditional sides for 792 pesos, and orange-rosemary flan for 225 pesos.
Those are the individual dish prices shown on the Thanksgiving menus, which state that tax is included and gratuity is extra. However, both pages also contain conflicting references to a five-course dinner, and El Dorado displays a separate package price. Confirm the final Thanksgiving arrangement and total directly before booking.
You can reach La Palapa at 322 222 5225 and El Dorado at 322 223 5568. Both websites provide reservation links.
An earlier celebration at the Botanical Garden
South of town, Hacienda de Oro Restaurant at Vallarta Botanical Garden is offering a Thanksgiving feast with live music. The garden is at kilometer 24 of the highway toward Barra de Navidad, in Cabo Corrientes.
There are three seating windows on November 26: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., 1 to 3 p.m., and 3 to 6 p.m. The meal costs 1,580 pesos per person and includes roast turkey, traditional sides, a starter, and a choice of pumpkin or pecan pie. A margarita or nonalcoholic drink, a glass of wine, and coffee are included.
Admission is separate. “Entry to the Gardens ($300 MXN/person) is not included with your Thanksgiving ticket,” the garden states. Members enter free; nonmembers should budget 1,880 pesos for the meal and admission, before transportation or other spending.
Salmon and vegetarian alternatives can be arranged in advance. For reservations and dietary questions, contact Ángel Juárez via WhatsApp at 322 223 6182.
A five-course dinner downtown
Café des Artistes, at Guadalupe Sánchez 740 in Centro, is advertising a Thanksgiving Special for November 26 at 1,975 pesos per person. The prepaid offer includes a five-course tasting menu; beverages and gratuity are excluded.
Its regular dinner hours are 5 p.m. to midnight, but the holiday listing does not identify dedicated seating times. Guests can select a reservation through OpenTable or contact the restaurant at 322 226 7200.
The restaurant specifies smart casual or elegant dress and accepts children ages eight and older. For families bringing younger children, that age limit settles the choice before the menu does.
