the best drag shows in puerto vallarta mexico

I love DRAGGGGG! Like, a lot. The costumes, the party, the vibes. Its all here in Vallarta. The queens here are some of the best I’ve seen. People are always asking me, where are the best shows? Well, you’re in luck because the best places to catch the best drag in Vallarta are below. Zona Romantica is the spot to be… this area is considered the “gay area” of Puerto Vallarta… but truly this whole city is gay!

But first, if you’re still looking for a hotel for your stay you can book your stay through this link.

Now on with the list…

Paco’s

If you’re looking for a late night spot. This is for you. They have a show at midnight and then again at 2 or 3am, depending on the vibe. It lasts FOR A WHILE, too. I’ve caught myself there till 6am watching the show once. Lol. Its a total local vibe in there, too, which is what I like the most about it. The charm and essence of Mexico plus some of the best drag I’ve ever seen — you can’t beat that! Also, the best part, is they almost always have back up dancers with them. Its a full on production!

The Palm: Beyonce Tribute

I absolutely fell in LOVE with this performance. She is so identically Beyonce it’s uncanny. She even sounds like her — its super mind-f*cking incredible. Cecil really puts on a good show and after the show she will take pics with you. The show is really long, too, which I actually appreciate. If I am going to a tribute, I want to be WOW’d. Get your ticket for the show here. It’s on Thursdays usually.

Tryst Hotel: The Brunch

Wow, wow, wow… WHAT CAN I SAY? The brunch is about $50 and its worth every penny and then some. Check this brunch out and be prepared to be blown away. The queens are all sweet as pie and truly put on such a great brunch. They DON’T STOP for like 2 hours. The price includes your food, which I never really eat but its tasty. I’m too busy tipping the queens and enjoying the show. I think this is perfect for a birthday or celebrating anything in your crew, check this spot out! Book your seat here.

CC Slaughters

This spot is great for a pregame so to speak to Paco’s. I’d say a safe time to head here is around 10PM and then you can stay till about midnight then pop over to Paco’s. I love this spot. It’s a plus that some of the best dancers ever are here, too. Say hi to my boy Henry! :) He’s the one always shaking his junk haha. He’s a great guy and great dancer. Check it out!
