    Best vegan spot ever!!!! The food is amazing and the juices and smoothies are delicious! Started off with some smoothies (cacao and mango) then ordered some hot cakes, oatmeal and avocado sandwich. Gotta say this was bomb! We visited Puerto Vallarta coming for the Carnival cruise and it was hard eating vegan in the cruise. So once we stopped here we wanted to eat some real food and boy did this spot hit it! Definitely coming back for lunch! This was just breakfast.

    Wow! Possibly the best vegan food we have ever had! The chef here is amazing....we will be here everyday that we are in PV. We are from Chicago and have been vegan for six months now and have tried every vegan place we can find and this is the best so far!!!

    Wow. Absolutely amazing food. When you are sick from eating too many tacos you can come here to get better (that's what I did). Such beautiful food you don't have to feel guilty eating. I love the food in PVR and come here often on business. If you are looking for fresh, nutrient rich food this is what you need. I came only here at the end of a week stay here and only ate here the last two days. I has the Tabule de Quinoa ($85), the Arabia Salad ($80), three of their freshly squeezed juices ($50 each) and two of their power shots ($30 each). Talk to the owner when you come. He is super nice and showed me pictures of all the food. They don't have an English menu but that wasn't a problem for me. You really can't go wrong so just bring Google translate or pick anything from the menu... Can't say how refreshing it was to find this gem.

    We sat outside because it was a nice, sunny, winter day. We ordered burgers, Thai noddles, and green chilaquiles. The burgers were very filling and tasty with all the vegetables served on the side. Thai noddles were a bit soupy but tasty as well. The chilaquiles were served with almond cream and cauliflower cheese which was a nice surprise.

    Our new favorite taco joint. We went there, were seated right away. Service was good and fast…read more We ordered the casa fundido with Al Pastor on top. It's thicker, more cheesy than what I've ever had before and very delicious. We paired that with the prime rib tacos, it was a plate stacked with meat and 4 tortillas under it, more than we could eat. The seasoning was great, it was diced so small that it was easy to eat. I got a virgin strawberry margarita, the wife got a coke. It was very affordable.

    Having researched a few traditional spots that serve authentic tacos in Zona Romantica, this place…read moreconsistently came up with good reviews and this place did not disappoint. 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?

    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. On a random Tuesday it stretched down the street long before the door opened. I waited twenty five minutes at four in the afternoon for a seat inside. No to go orders, no doggy bags. 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.

    I've been coming here for many years, and today was honestly the most disappointing experience I've…read moreever had--both in customer service and food quality. We came in on a Saturday about an hour before closing, ordered two burgers, several drinks, and my favorite cauliflower rings. My deep-fried mushroom burger arrived cold, with coleslaw sauce dripping all over it, and the chips that came with it were cold as well. The wings were so overwhelmingly vinegary that I couldn't eat them; I ended up peeling off the batter and just ate the boiled cauliflower. Even the ranch was extremely watery. Despite spending a good amount of money, the service didn't match. The waiter barely greeted us, was not attentive at all, and never checked in to ask if everything was okay. When I mentioned at the end that the food wasn't up to the usual standard, he just shrugged and did nothing about it. Sadly, after years of coming here, this might be my last visit. Very disappointing.

The ingredients tasted very fresh and natural, and I felt like it was good quality, but it's definitely not worth waiting 40 minutes! If you have time to waste, or if you want to sit and relax, and or get some work done, then this place will give you exactly what you want!
