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.

The fried snapper came…read morewhole, head on, skin blistered crisp, flesh tender and sweet, laid out with house salsa, two sides, and corn tortillas that made every bite feel like a ritual. Best meal I had in Puerto Vallarta, no contest. This is not a tourist trap. It is a locals joint, and you feel it the second you walk in. No pretense, just immediate welcome, like you have been coming here for years. And then the kicker: eight bottles of hot sauce lined up like a tasting flight. That is not garnish, that is a flex. I grinned like a kid in a candy store, dialing in heat levels bite by bite. If you want polished resort dining, stay on the strip. If you want the kind of seafood that makes you remember why you travel, whole fish, fire, salsa, and a table that feels like it belongs to you, Mariscos 8 Tostada is the move. Grab a cold beer, order the snapper, line up the sauces, and prove you belong.

The amount of meat they stack on your taco is out of this world. I was surprised but since they were priced a bit more than other places, I kinda expected it to be loaded and it was!

Very nice restaurant, we were walking by Pancho's Tacos but as expected there was a line but we…read morewere nervous about eating tacos Al pastor since we got sick in CDMX due the meat not being fully cooked. So we walked past the Taco place and found Los Molcajetes. The seating area inside was large, tables were clean and the staff was attentive to the new customers sitting. A few bushy plants here and there so we moved tables twice to find a comfy one as there are fans too and wearing contacts that's not fun. We ordered two cocktails, a Paloma and a Margarita. Both were good, nothing crazy, subtle and came quick. Ordered a quesadilla with mixed meat. Tortilla was good but the ingredients were bland. Def skip the quesadilla is not your expected cheesy bite. Not a lot of flavor sadly. We then ordered a molcajete traditional. It was yummy, with a spicy salsa mole like and a mixture of meats. Came in boiling hot so food was def cooked well. It was so good we ordered one more and a michelada. Go for the main, molcajete left us happy and full. Def get your own, skip the apps unless you're eating tacos for dinner. They looked good as a guy accross the table ordered like 5. Molcajete is a must. Chicken was soft, chorizo crispy and steak tasty and medium. Mortar came in hot and there was a condiment station were you can grab any extra sides you need to custom make your tacos. There was a singer playing music, very nice talent in PV. Our waiter was very polite, friendly, and attentive to his guests. Overall I wish I went again for dinner as I ventured in PV. Some other places were good some bad and some meh. This one stood out well and I certainly recommend if you are looking for a filling dinner with comprehensive prices and seating.

I've…read morewalked past this place often on my way to Soriana (the local grocery store) and had never seen it open. Well, on this trip it finally was--and sadly, it was 100% disappointing. I understand that street or restaurant food won't taste like home-cooked Mexican meals, but wow... this place missed the mark on every level. Our family ordered volcánes (skirt steak tostadas), skirt steak tacos, and Mexican sausage tacos. Everything--everything--came out at best fridge temperature. For all I know, it could've been yesterday's prep meat. Save yourself the trip and the pesos. Oh, and FYI: it's cash only. One star for the strawberry drink.

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?

After an excursion we…read moredecided to walk around the town to find a local taco restaurant when we stumbled upon Taquitos Roque on a little corner. It smelled delicious. We kept walking just to see what else there was when we decided to go back and check this little spot out. Boy an I glad we did. They have room for either indoor or patio seating and because of such beautiful weather we decided on the patio. From the moment we walked in I noticed two ladies in the from making tortillas from scratch. I already knew we were in for a treat with homemade tortillas. I went with one carne asada taco, one al pastor, and one rib(costillas) tacos with cheese. Wow the flavors were spectacular and then they had three different salsas you could top it with as well as some pico de gallo. They were the best street/homemade tacos I've ever had. The salsas were also very well made and had great flavor. If you're on the fence of doing a taco with cheese I highly recommend it. It gave it just a little a extra flavor and delicious experience lol. Check them out for some amazing tacos in Puerto Vallarta. The service is quick and the staff is very friendly.

Upon walking in, I immediately had a sense of Deja vu and knew I had been there before, which should have been my first warning since I usually have a good memory for places I've been and enjoyed. It's open (only) late and has both indoor and outdoor seating. The woman working was reasonably nice but nothing to write home about. Unfortunately they didn't have any Al pastor when I went but I ordered a chorizo and an arrechera, both $25 pesos a pop. The chorizo was more like a chopped up hot dog and I found the arrechera to be very dry. Neither taco had a lot of meat. The tortilla was unexciting and under-grilled. The salsa was excellent however. I wouldn't go back - there are so many excellent tacos in the area at or around the same price.
