Table of Contents

If you plan on visiting Puerto Vallarta, Mexico soon, one thing you should be considering is where you are going to eat while you are there! No trip to Mexico would be complete without at least a few meals consisting of tacos, and thankfully Puerto Vallarta has a plethora of exceptional dining options to satisfy any taco cravings you may have. From succulent grilled meats or veggies to delights from the sea, there is a taco out there sure to please your palate, even for those with dietary restrictions (think gluten-free and vegan options).

Here is a rundown of the best restaurants to try in Puerto Vallarta on your quest to discover the most delicious tacos:

El Barracuda

Although El Barracuda, a relaxing restaurant situated right on the beach, serves a variety of foods, mostly based on freshly caught seafood, their selection of tacos is simply superb. Whether you try the Baja-style fish, octopus al ajillo, smoked marlin or steak and shrimp, all of your taco fantasies can come true with a visit to this waterfront gem. Their specialty cocktails, several of which feature smoky mezcal, make a great accompaniment to any meal.

Address: Paraguay 1290, 5 de Diciembre, 48350 Puerto Vallarta

El Carboncito

For a truly authentic taco experience, head to this small restaurant beloved equally by tourists and locals. While the atmosphere is colorful yet basic, the food more than makes up for it, and you can dine indoors or out. Their freshly grilled meats make for some of the most memorable tacos you will ever taste, and the selection of salsas will not disappoint, either. Since they are open late, this is a favorite stop on the way home for those who have been out partying the night away.

Marisma

There is nothing fancy about the atmosphere at Marisma, where you dine at tables placed on the sidewalk or on a barstool around the tiny kitchen, but these seafood street tacos are certainly some of the best in town. Their battered and fried fish and shrimp tacos are by far the top sellers here, although there are several other menu options should you wish to try something else.

Address: Naranjo 320, Emiliano Zapata, 48380 Puerto Vallarta

Pancho’s Takos

With generous portions and an excellent selection of dishes, this taco spot is favored by locals as well as tourists. Without a doubt, the standout dish here is the tacos al pastor (pork meat marinated in pastor sauce, which is slow roasted and topped with fresh pineapple). Since the restaurant’s indoor space is so limited, tables spill out onto the sidewalk, making for a lively dining experience where people watching becomes part of the fun. Since it is so popular, there is a line for a table most evenings, but the food is definitely worth the wait! You can even order a drink while you wait for your table.

Tacos Revolucion

This family run taco joint serves up a fabulous range of tacos and other foods that cater to both carnivores and vegetarians alike. It is one of the few places where you can get seafood tacos alongside tacos that feature meats like beef or chicken, so this is a great choice when you want to try several taco styles. Their unique “taco revolucion”, which combines several types of meat plus cheese and a three-chili salsa, is worth raving about. Fresh handmade tortillas and delicious cocktails such as their jalapeno cucumber margarita make the dining experience outstanding, while their cheeky slogan, “make tacos not walls”, brings a smile to just about everyone’s face.
