The one thing we noticed - they weren't cleaning out the salsa containers, just refilling them after one table was done and then putting them out for the next table.

When we asked to see the manager to give them feedback, because they charged us for the wrong food that we didn't eat, a 300+lbs 6'5" "captain" showed up to tell us the food was "good" and we were the ones that were mistaken. I could get into the details but it's not worth it, suffice to say, we'll never be back and we recommend that you stay away from this establishment as well.

Don't remember all of what was in it. It was a nice balance of flavors and heat. I can't put my finger on why I didn't love the dish. I suspect it's because it's a local taste slightly out of my palette. This said, there were many delicious looking dishes on other tables, so take my review lightly. The bad. Nothing to report.

The guacamole was one of the best we have ever had and trust me when I say this because we are in Mexico a lot! My husband and I split the shrimp fajitas and they were very good. My husband and I had differing opinions because he thought the fajitas were 5 star and I would only give them 3 1/2 to 4 at best. I thought the shrimp was overcooked and they didn't give you any salsa to put on the fajitas unless you bought a side of it.

Really surprised by the texture of the mushroom but could've used more of the greens and accent sauce Aguachile (4.5/5): delicious with varied textures - only complaint was that the avocados were a little brown and overripe Tomato salad (3.5/5): not too creative nor memorable but still yummy Octopus taco (4/.5/5): the octopus was perfectly crispy and flavors were well-balanced with the lime and pickled onions. Only knock is the tortilla was a little too oily for my liking Beef tenderloin (5/5) vs Tuna steak (4.5/5) - MVPs: Both of these main proteins were delicious and made even more so by the jalapeno gremolata. Usually I prefer fish but the beef was really perfectly cooked and more filling so slight nod to the beef Avo ice cream (4/5): Not to say it was bad but this dessert definitely looks prettier than it tastes. Although the avocado taste didn't come out in the ice cream, the crumble was a great addition to both texture and flavor. Not pictured (5/5): perfectly paired drinks :) Definitely a pricier meal than other local options but for a celebratory dinner, the value is 100% there!

The Chicken Tacos were ONLY helped with the Salsa Verdes, a mix of the regular and spicy & Guacamole! The Guac on its own is a bland, creamy (like baby food), pile of green waste. No garlic, Cilantro or onions to be found! HAD TO add salt, limons & pepper to make it edible, to add to the insipid Chicken Tacos. The Chicken did have a touch of salt and Cotija, which was it's saving grace, along with the Beef. Love the Corn Tortillas but the Chicken made them too wet, PRIOR TO adding salsa and Guac.

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.

Out front, the trompo spins over charcoal fire, hand turned, on display to the street. The man at the blade is a performer, part craftsman, part showman. He hones his knife between razor thin shavings of al pastor, then in a reflexive flourish nips the pineapple crowning the meat, sending a sliver flying only to catch it with a tortilla. It is theater, but it is also instinct. Inside, the crowd looks like the United Nations. A tour group from India next to a Dutch family with half a dozen kids in tow, the Canadians eye the Americans with deserved suspicion, and a few locals whose plates are piled high while tourists settle for modest portions. It is the natural order of things, and nobody complains. The charcoal scent in the meat makes clear this is al pastor's intended preparation. I have never had the pleasure of eating from a coal fired trompo before, and it is instantly apparent that this is the way it was meant to be. Someday, somehow, I will rig one of these up, because I need this in my life. Pepe's is not just a taco shop. It is a master class in tradition, theater, and flavor, with a dining room that feels like the world gathered around one spit.
