Omg the consomé broth is to die for!!! Our tour guide even said this vendor's broth is the best hangover cure. The broth has so much depth of flavor - it's hearty, but not too heavy or sour. I wish I had more time during my trip to go back just for this! We got the fried and regular birria. I recommend just the regular soft taco birria. The meat was super tender and juicy. If they have it, you MUST get the fresh guava juice. It paired beautifully with the birria, and it was the only place in Zona Romantica that sold it freshly made. read more

Tried the taco dorado de birria. It was delicious and full of flavor. The consome was delicious, as soon as they brought it I drank it like warm tea. It was flavorful and had little grease. The service was quick and they were all very friendly. read more

Delicious! The tacos are perfect! 3 crispy tacos and a coke! Yummy! So good we went there twice in 3 days! The staff is wonderful as is the green salsa! I have recommended it to everyone I know going to PV. We will be back every visit. read more

My wife found this place on Yelp because she really wanted to eat birria tacos. It was delicious!! She liked the soft shell tacos while I preferred the hard shell tacos. Also, the staff were super friendly and helpful. I also didn't have pesos and they accepted credit card! Ohh and the horchata is delicious!! Great prices too! read more

It wasn't clear when we walked up if there was a line or how we were to order. Ended up talking to one of the ladies holding paper and pens, which was the right move. The wait was about 20-30min, during prime lunch time, before we got a table. The hard shell tacos were delicious, but the soft tacos have more. Ask for a cup of the broth to dip them in. Perfection. read more

We were here the other day and today we came back here again for another meal. This time we ordered the crispy tacos and the jamaica juice. We like the crispy tacos more than the regular soft tacos since the soft tacos tend to get soggy after a while. The shredded beef was a bit under seasoned but tasted ok after adding a little sauce and a squeeze of lime. Service is ok and kinda slow sometimes. Overall a great place for birria tacos in PV. read more

If you're looking for crispy fried hard shell tacos, then look no further. I will say though that their birria doesn't really taste like your usual birria. All of the birria tacos I'm used to have that flavor with lots of spices. These just tasted like shredded beef which was still good but not what I was expecting. They do have a lot of tables and chairs which is rare for street food vendors. Service is alright, they're not super friendly like other places in PV but that's fine I guess. read more

Birria Chanfay - Crispy birria tacos - Street Vendors Near Me - Puerto Vallarta, JAL

If you are looking for no-frills, authentic, and delicious birria tacos, look no further than Birria Chanfay! Tucked away on a street in Old Town Puerto Vallarta, you'll need to spot their food stand on the street where they are cooking up the birria meats. On this visit, we decided to go with the a couple of crunchy birria tacos and a regular birria taco. My #1 tip, don't eat them without getting the consome first! It's what elevated the taco from good to great! Typically I think the crunchy tacos more, but the regular birria taco on a fresh tortilla was equally delicious. You really can't go wrong with either, but if you partied to hard the previous night, take a few sips of the consome and you'll be back to normal in no time! I haven't had a consome that flavorful anywhere, it was the star of the show. For 3 tacos and a bottle of coke came out to 68 pesos which is like $3.29 USD. Crazy good deal. You can enjoy your tacos under the covered patio area. They have tableside salsas you can use to put on your tacos, and none of them were overly spicy, but all of them were equally delicious! A hidden gem that is definitely worth a stop and a try! read more

Been meaning to try this spot, so on this last trip, I stopped in; boy, glad I did! The Birria tacos and the accompanying consommé were AMAZING! I ordered the beef, hard shell tacos. My new go-to taco spot in PVR. read more

This place was an absolute gem to find. On a recent trip to Puerto Vallarta, I spotted what looked like just a food cart on the street but with nearby seating. I noticed the folks standing around while eating and chatting, which is a typical thing to see at food carts, but the difference was that there were a couple of servers walking around. I didnt actually get this until I finally went back to eat. We left that day, but after searching for a couple of days to find this spot again, I realized that they were only open for lunch. Keep that in mind. I finally got to come back for lunch on our last day. For the most part, they spoke Spanish, but there was one server who spoke English. So, don't be afraid of this truly authentic joint. I sat down and ordered two crispy tacos with a cup of the consomé (do not leave without drinking this). The tacos were warm, crispy, and cheesy. I ordered one with chicken and one with pork, which was the better of the two. The consomé was savory and full of flavor. I used some of the sauces, but they really weren't necessary. I loved them so much that even though my partner did not want to come, I just had to bring some back for him. I also bought more consomé, but that didn't make it back. Shhh... don't tell him. I also loved this so much that I made it for dinner the following weekend. So, he still got to try it. read more

This was one of the stops on the Vallarta Eats Food Tour, which turned out to be my favorite. ATMOSPHERE: The make-shift restaurant was situated in a courtyard fronting a building. You don't come here for the ambiance, just authentic tacos. A take away stand greets you with a flat top just behind that where the tortillas were being grilled. Our group of eight squeezed together on a few tables and a mishmash of chairs where sauces and toppings were laid out. BEVERAGE: Guava Juice I've never seen white guava juice, just the pink stuff we have in Hawaii. Despite the color difference, the taste was the same. FOOD: Birria Pork Tacos Because we were on tour, we had the chance to sample the delicious birria (stew broth) that their pork is cooked in. The fiery red liquid was full of deep, savory flavors. We had a soft shell and crunchy taco with the same fillings with pork and cheese. Both were amazingly tasty but the crunchy version won me over. TIP: If you're adventurous, they also served a taco filled with chopped up organs that consisted of intestines, hearts and liver. One was brought out but I happily declined, LOL. OVERALL: Obviously good as locals were constantly lining up for takeout. We ran out of eating time so we'll hit them up again in 2019. read more

I had really high expectations for Birria Chanfay as not only were tourists recommending this spot, but so were the locals. I thought that the birria tacos were under seasoned and just tasted like shredded beef. I definitely had to add a lot of salsa and chili oil in order to enjoy it more. I appreciated that they provided complementary consume but I thought that the tomato flavor was a little overpowering. Apparently birria taco is a dish that the local Mexicans like to have for breakfast, which may be the reason why it was on the lighter seasoned side. Where I come from, birria tacos are always strongly seasoned, rich, fatty and oily. At Birria Chanfay, I almost thought that the tacos tasted healthy. Maybe this is what birria tacos is supposed to be like relative to how it's done in New York, but it definitely was not what I expected my birria experience in Mexico to be like. read more

Birria Chanfay - Crispy birria tacos, 22 pesos each - Street Vendors Near Me - Puerto Vallarta, JAL

Easily best birria tacos I've ever had. We've been looking for good tacos around the area and I think this one takes the cake. We tried the other places, they're good too, but the birria here is just so fire. When you go here just straight up order the crispy birria taco and a cup of consume. The soft shell is good too but when you pour more consume the taco gets soggy. When I took my first bite, it just all the right spots! Also when it comes to the drinks, they have guava juice that's good too. So definitely check that out. Overall, we'll definitely go back here when we visit puerto vallarta again! read more

8.5/10. One of the best birria places in PV. Please go here if you visit the city. Thats it

At Birria Chanfay you get the fried Birria Tacos. The Beef is slow cooked and the tacos are brushed with the beef juice for more flavor. This street vendor provides tables and chairs in his driveway. They also serve hibiscus tea. I typed in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco but Yelp changed it to Mexico D.F. I can tell you this place is in Old Town Jalisco. read more

One of the best Birria tacos we have had in Mexico! It's a family owned place and there is always customers coming and ordering food(which is a good sign). It's a clean place and food is handled with care. And they have Mexican Coke in a bottle yay! read more

We stumbled across Tacos de Birria Chanfay while waiting for the churro church to open. By the number of locals waiting, we knew it had to be good. There's not too much to say- little courtyard where you can sit, had an agua de Jamaica to drink. Absolutely delicious. I accidentally ordered soft tacos and wish I'd gotten the dorados, but we live here now, so plenty of opportunities! read more

Very very good Birria tacos here!!! Original recipe and authentic taste and ingredients I would highly recommend this low key taco place!!! It's truly a hidden gem!!! read more

First tried this place on a taco food tour and it was amaaazing! So good we had to come again the next morning for their crunchy birria tacos. "Tacos dorrados". Prices are aforable...around 100 pesos for 6 tacos and 2 agua frescas. Make sure you ask for a side of "consume", which is a cup of the juices the meat is cooked in. Add lemon and onions and you wont regret it! **food cart gets to the location around 9:45am so 9:45- 10 is the best time so you get a seat. Birria is a typical morning food and they sell out, so its a great breakfast food!! (&&&& cures hangovers!!!!) read more
