    Great carne and lengua tacos with a whole bucket of green salsa. Friendly people with late night service

    This is the best taco I have ever eaten. I would take this taco stand over almost any other food I have eaten. It's that good. It's pure. It's simple. It's not flashy. It's on a street and it's absolutely hands down one of the best treats you will find anywhere. Perfection is what it is. The meat is perfectly cooked and so tender. It's simple and that is what makes this place so special. The people who run it are also amazing. Go here, stop by a market on the way and grab some cold beers. Order like 15 cabeza tacos and sit on the curb and eat. Life slows down and things just make sense. This place is spiritual I swear. And it's right on the side of a church. Lol. MAGIC

    11 mxd each, yummy!

    This little taco stand is pretty hard to find. They don't have signage and they only had carne asada from what we could see. Don't give up, the address here is correct. They're here, open, and friendly. Tacos were juicy and flavorful. The best that we have had on our trip so far. They have seats for you to sit down. Tacos are $11MXD each. Fantastic!!!!

    This might have been the best cabeza taco I've had and I would've gone back for seconds if I wasn't full already.

    After seeing this place recommended so many times in different places I was excited to try it on…read moreour first visit to PV. I don't know if the rave reviews and attention have gotten to the owners' head but this place is NOT it. We arrived around 2:30 after a snorkeling tour and were hungry, there was a line to order about 4 people ahead of us but it moved quickly. There isn't much place to sit just the bar counter around the food cart and a couple tables and plastic chairs next to it. No problem, as we were there for good food without the frills. I ordered 4 fish tacos, 4 shrimp tacos and 1 crab salpicon tostado and 1 fish ceviche tostada plus sodas for two adults and 2 kids. It took about 20 min for the tostadas to come out, the ceviche was heavy on carrot (something unique about ceviche in PV) and was mostly what I could taste, the crab tostada was better and the best thing we had. Then we waited and waited, I saw that others who ordered before us were also still waiting but about 3:30 is when our shrimp tacos finally arrived! There was an elderly white American couple with their grandkids seated near us and you could tell they had been waiting an eternity as well because the kids were literally falling asleep in their chairs. After the shrimp tacos were consumed I was worried how long for the fish, so I asked the girl clearing tables that we were still waiting for 4 fish tacos, she said ok and reminded the cook that we needed the rest of our order. Another 15 minutes and we finally had all our food. By this time everyone we had ordered with has come and gone. Despite the insane wait, I might have been ok with it if the food was great but it was so disappointing. The shrimp taco was mostly batter with hardly any shrimp. The fish taco was better but again nothing special. The best thing was the freshly made tortilla it was served on. Then came time to lay the bill, I went up to pay and the receipt had a charge for 8 fish tacos. When I politely corrected saying we only had 4 the cashier spoke to what appeared to be the manager, and was told to take off $100 pesos... mind you each taco is $50 pesos, so they still upcharged me $100 pesos! I was livid but decided to just pay and take the receipt as proof of my terrible experience. I'm so confused because this has not been typical of my experience at PV restaurants, everyone is usually exceedingly nice and attentive. But this place felt like they were doing me a favor from the minute I ordered and I have no clue why. DO NOT GO HERE if you are a tourist. They treat you poorly and then rip you off.

    We stopped by this little taco stand for lunch after church at Our Lady of Guadalupe…read more Very unassuming place with 3 women busily making tacos and tortillas as you wait. It was quite busy and does quite a bit of business on Uber Eats. That said, our order came quickly, a shrimp tostada, fried fish taco and grilled fish taco served with a salsa bar so you can dress your own tacos. We sat at the stools right in front -there are 6 of them and they have a few tables behind. For around $12 including a Diet Coke, this was amazing. Fast food in the United States cannot compare to this in taste or quality. Recommended!
