Puerto Vallarta, México – As February concludes, Nacho Daddy brings a rhythmic energy to the Zona Romántica with an impressive lineup of jazz, soul and country music. Add to that great food & drinks, and you’ll see why this lively venue remains a central gathering point in Puerto Vallarta.
The musical festivities begin on February 26 at 7:30 pm with Queens of the Blue Note. Vocalist Brenda Gaviño takes the stage to present a sophisticated tribute to the legendary women of American jazz and soul. Supported by a live jazz quartet, Gaviño recreates the artistry of icons ranging from the velvet tones of Ella Fitzgerald to the raw, modern soul of Amy Winehouse. This performance avoids backing tracks in favor of authentic, full-bodied instrumentation, offering an experience reminiscent of a classic era of music.
The storytelling tradition of country music takes over the following afternoon. On February 27 at 5:00 pm, Los Lotus presents The Storytellers Series. This performance prioritizes lyrical depth and honest reflection, focusing on the narratives that have defined the genre for generations. With tickets priced at 200 pesos, the show promises a sincere look at the songs that serve as the soundtrack to many listeners’ lives.
As the sun sets on Friday, the atmosphere shifts toward the grit and soul of the blues. The Texas Embassy Blues Band returns for its 17th year at the venue, performing upstairs at 8:30 pm. This long-standing tradition offers a no-nonsense, high-energy set with no cover charge. The seasoned musicians have become a Friday night fixture on Basilio Badillo, drawing a consistent crowd of locals who appreciate the band’s polished craft and reliable presence.
The month concludes with a high-energy blend of comedy and song on February 28. At 7:30 pm, the show She, He, Him! features the combined talents of powerhouse vocalist Amy Armstrong, Sargento Dan, and award-winning music director Mark Hartman. This performance balances Broadway favorites and pop hits with sharp, spontaneous humor, relying on the genuine chemistry between the performers to engage the audience.
The transition into March maintains this momentum with the return of Big Shot, Amy Armstrong and pianist Mark Hartman‘s tribute to Billy Joel at 8:00 pm on Suday, March 1st. Rather than a simple imitation, the show is an honest celebration of the Piano Man’s greatest hits, designed to spark sing-alongs and shared memories throughout the room.
This will be followed by a variety of weekly events. Gouda Gabor’s cabaret, Charcuterie BROAD, returns on Monday, March 2nd at 7:30 pm, followed by the Come Blow Your Horn open mic night every Tuesday at 7:30 pm. These sessions provide a platform for both established professionals and emerging artists to showcase their talents in a supportive environment.
Community involvement remains a cornerstone of the midweek schedule. Every Wednesday at 4:00 pm, Charity Bingo sessions raise essential funds for local organizations, including the Colina Spay and Neuter Clinic and the PuRR Project.
Once the games conclude, the evening continues at 7:30 pm with Funk It, a collaboration between Amy Armstrong, guitarist Al “Mimi” Ramirez, and violinist Eugenia Prieto.
In addition to live performances, the venue serves as a hub for sports enthusiasts. With several high-definition screens broadcasting major sporting events, the space provides a comfortable environment for fans to stay updated on international competitions. Guests can pair the excitement of the games with a signature “Mex-Tex” menu, featuring hearty, flavorful dishes alongside a well-stocked full bar.
Through this combination of tribute concerts, community fundraisers, and excellent hospitality, Nacho Daddy remains a central gathering point in Puerto Vallarta’s social landscape.
