On your way through Puerto Vallarta, you will find a large number of taquerías. We recommend five tacos that you should not miss trying during your visit.
It is said that the best way to get to know the gastronomy of a place is by trying the dishes that its inhabitants eat on a daily basis. In Puerto Vallarta, there are a large number of options to do so: from its municipal market to restaurants with signature cuisine and gourmet food. However, if something stands out in the streets of downtown, it’s the taco stands, which exist on almost every corner.
Quantity equals diversity, which is why in these stalls you will find tacos for all palates (beef, lamb, fish, vegetarian, bañados, or with cheese). All these delicious dishes have a common factor: they are made with fresh products and each taquero gives the best of themselves to provide a flavorful experience to the diners.
Although visiting all the taquerías in a single day is a really impossible task, you can try to taste tacos at the following stops. Thanks to the distance between one place and another, you can take the opportunity to walk the magical streets of this beautiful city, while discovering your favorite taco.
