    Came here on a recommendation from family friends. It was fantastic. Come with an appetite. Definitely get the margaritas. Staff were attentive and food came out quick.

    Frozen Strawberry Marg

    We have been looking for Pipi's ever since an amazing experience 25 years ago. We don't think we found our "original," but this one is just fine. Saw some pretty tepid reviews about tourist trap etc, but we were chasing nostalgia. [I would agree the fajitas were not looking amazing or filling the dining room with sizzling aroma.] This is a dinks & appetizer review, since we have another favorite PV taco spot we were eating lunch at. The margaritas are Yuge! I had a frozen strawberry, my wife a skinny on the rocks. We both really enjoyed, hard not to when it's blazing hot outside and you can cool down with a big cold drink. I couldn't taste the alcohol, but felt it after my 2nd one on an empty stomach 100%. Service was very very good. From being seated, to taking drink orders, to refilling chips and salsa, staff was on point. The table side guacamole guy was all smiles and made a mean guac, extra spicy please & thank you. We appreciated the AC and so did many others as it grew to almost a full house in the lower dining room during lunch rush.

    5 food and service! Very clean restaurant and fun atmosphere. We ordered the wet burritos and guacamole. Both were delicious. I will be back next time I'm in town.

    We've passed by this restaurant several times and finally decided to give it a try. It didn't disappoint...from food to service. The restaurant was very busy but we were quickly seated and drink order taken. The menu seems to have something for everyone but we settled on a combo to share along with some margaritas. Complimentary chips and salsa was a surprise - great flavor with the salsa and freshly made chips for the perfect combo. Our meal was plenty for 2 with a burrito, enchilada, tamale and taco. We will definitely return. One note - the restaurant was extremely loud!

    We were told when you vacation in PV, Pipi's is a must visit! It didn't let us down. The margaritas are a staple - and they are LARGE. They are also know for their fajitas, so if that is your thing you'd also enjoy a meal here. Me? Yeah I targeted the sour cream chicken enchiladas and asked them to spice it up as always! They obliged by making mine red and it had the desired heat level. Overall, everyone enjoyed their meal and voted it the best Mexican that we have had among the handful that were tried. The atmosphere is also generally fun! Live music and a bustling full space. The service is impeccable. I don't think they will allow you to run out of chips and salsa. Guacamole made to spice level at your table. All staples of great Mexican restaurants in my book!

    A tourist attraction on many levels. Huge selection of traditional tequila drinks served in LARGE (takes 2 hands to hold) glasses. A menu consisting of yummy favorites such as flaming fajitas, chimichangas and burritos with numerous fillings. HUGE portions. Be prepared to take some of your food home. Friendly service. Credit cards. The kind of place, when the music is playing: you stand near your table and dance. Fun but noisy and not good for conversations. Try it. Well established business that understands customer service.

    This is our second time at Pipi's, Puerto Vallarta, on Dia de los Muertos weekend. We love the huge blended fruit margaritas, and the yummy also huge platters of food, all for a very reasonable price. I chose to order the marinated skirt steak. To my surprise, it was accompanied by a Chile Relleno, a chicken enchilada, cheese quesadillas, tomato rice, refried beans, a large scoop of guacamole, and pico de gallo! To say the least, a good portion of it came home. On this special weekend, there is also live mariachi music. But if you want to get away from that, there's a way to do that, too. They have an extra dining room that is slightly away from the main room. Service is excellent. The manager kept checking that we were good, as well as the waiters. Definitely make a reservation because there is a line out the door, especially especially on this popular weekend.

    We went to Pipi's as part of a tour of Puerto Vallarta. We had a good time and a good meal. The restaurant was clean and spacious. The staff were very friendly and entertaining. Since it was Halloween they were dressed up which was fun. The food servings were very big and I wished I had split the fajita plate.

    Fantastic. Best time ever. Pipi's never disappoint even when it has been years in-between. Love their Birthday celebrations.

    We loved Pipi's so much that we ended up coming here 3 times during our 10 day stay in Puerto Vallarta. We always got the table-side guacamole and split a chimichanga since they are huge. All of the food coming out looked wonderful, especially the fajitas that they flame up with tequila. I also recommend the homemade flan, so delicious. Great people working here and very friendly service. It is very open, can get loud, but extremely fun. We were lucky enough to be there when the Mariachi Band was playing. Great times! Outstanding drinks. I had the Cadillac margarita and it didn't disappoint. It can get a bit crowded, but they do take reservations. If not, no worries. The service is so great that they keep things moving along, but you're never rushed. We plan to visit PV in a few months and Pipi's will always be on our must to do list.

    OMG, this place is amazing. We had the taquitos rancheros and the chile rellenos. Servings were huge and the price was right!! Want to come back to try the fajitas as they looked and smelled wonderful

    Pepe's Tacos are literally the best in PV. I got the Al Pastor tacos and some carnita taco and they…read morewere the best. The smokyness of the taco was very good. This is a must try restaurant if you go around Puerto Vallarta. :)

    There are places that simply serve food--and then there are places that become part of your story…read more Pepe's Tacos is exactly that for me. Having come here since I was 10 years old, this iconic taquería isn't just a local favorite--it's a timeless institution that continues to define what truly exceptional tacos should be. Since 1987, Pepe's has built a reputation that extends far beyond Puerto Vallarta, and one visit is all it takes to understand why. The star of the show--their legendary tacos al pastor--is nothing short of extraordinary. The pork is expertly marinated and cooked to perfection, resulting in meat that is incredibly juicy, tender, and bursting with deep, savory flavor. Each slice is carved with precision and layered onto warm tortillas, creating a perfect foundation for what comes next. What truly elevates these tacos is the balance of toppings. The sweetness of the pineapple and the sharpness of the fresh onions cut through the richness of the meat beautifully, enhancing every bite with contrast and complexity. It's a masterclass in simplicity done right--every ingredient playing its role to perfection. Beyond the food, the experience itself is just as memorable. The service is impressively fast and efficient, especially considering how popular this spot is, and there's an undeniable energy in the air that makes it feel alive at all hours. It's the kind of place you can count on for a late-night bite, where the atmosphere is casual, vibrant, and always welcoming. Pepe's Tacos isn't about reinvention or trend--it's about consistency, tradition, and delivering excellence time and time again. Decades later, it still holds its place as one of the best taco spots in Puerto Vallarta, and for good reason. Some things never change--and when they're this good, they absolutely shouldn't.

You have to pluck a third of the meat with your fingers just to get the tortilla to structurally hold. There is always a line.

You eat what you order and leave behind your self respect. The dining room is packed tighter than a turtle's pecker. A dozen staff members move around each other like bees tending the hive, the rhythm wild and relentless. The tacos themselves are intimidatingly large, the vibe unlike anything I have ever seen. Come for the al pastor, and come hungry. If you cannot finish, no option exists but to weep over the abandoned morsels.

It's thicker, more cheesy than what I've ever had before and very delicious.

Vegans are easy please. Give them clear marked options, even if there is one option, we are pleased. This place had a few clearly marked options plus the staff was fully aware and can provide suggestions. The only downside it is a cash only place. Guacamole and chips - fantastic. The guacamole freshly prepared and chips fresh fried. Amazing. The 3 types of vegan tacos we got were vegan chorizo, mushrooms and cactus (trying for the fist time). The vegan chorizo was the best, slightly spicy but not overly. The poblano peppers were predictable but very good. The onions with it were a good addition. Nicely seasoned and prepared. The cactus was good, we found that it was less seasoned. Just stir fried cactus. The star of all the three types tacos was the fresh blue corn tacos. We could have those everyday. The other superb tasting was the salsas and fresh toppings. 4 types of salsas, white onions and cilantro. The salsa were of varying different levels of heat and even the mildest salsa was the best. The virgin margarita and virgin mojito were great. Margarita being slightly better even though we love mint. Good atmosphere, clean surrounding and great service and vegan food - what more can one ask?
