Derby City Burgers in Puerto Vallarta Mexico!

May 26, 2018
Puerto Vallarta

Touring within the city of Puerto Vallarta, if you want to experience the tastiest burgers you must try Derby City Burgers.  This once side walk resturant in the Romantic Zone is now locate at Rodolfo Gomez 130, behind La Piazzetta which is on the south side of Puerto Vallarta and will accommodate more customers. This is the perfect restaurant to sit and enjoy the delicious burger.

Not only you will have the yummiest gourmet half pound grilled to order on a toasted bun, you will have your choice of the BEST hand-cut Sweet Potato Fries and French Fries that make the best combination for you to enjoy.

The menu now serves wings, a handful of salads, chicken sandwiches and other appetizers, including some other type of crispy fries and local beers.

The menu is not limited to just burgers. You have other options like the tasty bourbon burger. The tasty bourbon is a specialty for the locals in Puerto Vallarta.  As Walter Thomas told this to one of his customers they can always find Jim Beans or Maker’s  once in a while, but the Woodford or Bulleit bourbon is something that is not easy to find. He also added that it is hard to find the two famous tequilas, reposado and anejo tequilas in the oak barrels.

Open daily from 12 Noon to 10:00 p.m. they serving delicious appetizers such as pickle chips, wings and pan seared shrimp and also shakes!  Derby City Burger in Puerto Vallarta is owned and operated by two natives Walter Thomas and Carlos Avila.

So, let’s take a look at how two people who were working at the same restaurant, end up opening Derby City Burger in one of the most popular towns of Mexico?

The story starts right now from where the Avila met Thomas in the early 2000’s. Both men were working in the same restaurant, Avila as a food supervisor and Thomas as a managing partner. Later on, their friendship grew stronger because of having a shared love of travel.

Thomas once shared about his traveling experience that, “On my many trips to Mexico, I would usually pick a beach town to visit. I would mix up the different spots, but Vallarta kept calling me back”.  As he further added, the hotel we would stay in was next door to this Indian restaurant which was never open. One day passing by I mentioned to Carlos that it would make a great burger spot.

Craving a big ole juicy burger is obvious as Thomas could not find a burger place while visiting this beautify city of Puerto Vallarta, in 2011 the small Derby City Burger restaurant opened quickly with the menu of eight different burgers and had hardly one or two appetizers.  Just as the good chefs do, they also try their best to make their burgers better with mushrooms and took an idea of Swiss Burger, which did not disappoint them!

You must not ignore this mouth-watering burger whenever you visit Puerto Vallarta.   The beef has been imported from America. Then, it is layered with the onion rings, honey mustard, and BBQ.  Further, with pepper jack cheese and fresh chilies, it has been served. You can also add a fried egg for 10 pesos if you want to have it spicier.

The quality is also found to be great and hence, the Derby City Burger is said to be one of the best Mexico vacation spots.
