Tried Panchos earlier in the week but was disappointed so I looked for more recommendations and someone mentioned this stand! Tacos are 33 pesos and are 100% worth it!

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.

Never time i am looking for night street food or something to bring back to hotel/condo for snacking I will be coming back to this place. It is still in same place in front of El Pechugon. i was so sad a couple years ago when i saw building torn down and El Pechugan gone but so happy and surprised to come back and new building is being build and chicken is back. Come here for chicken in the day and tamales at night.

In A Nutshell: -This…read moretamale stand has been in this spot for 40+ years. -It's a simple set-up: cart, umbrella, cooler & large pots. -I wasn't that thrilled w/ their chicken or pork tamales (20 pesos or $1.20 USD each) , most likely b/c I'm used to the unhealthy California versions which are saturated w/ lard & completely filled w/ alot of meat. -The elote (15 pesos or 85 cents USD) was pretty good, so it's worth buying that. Overall, you'll walk by this stand in Viejo Vallarta on the corner of Insurgentes & Calle Francisco I. Madero.

Food: I only tried the carne asada quesadillas but we loved…read morethem! My partner got 1 chorizo taco too, which was good but I would stick with the asada. My favorite meal at a taco stand. I love that they add beans to the quesadillas and their salsas were tasty. The quesadillas are large and you will only need 1 and maybe a small taco if that's not enough. They make their own tortillas in front of you and that really makes the tacos taste better. The women here are fun and friendly! Price: quesadillas were $~35 pesos We even came back twice since I loved the quesadillas so much.

Truly delicious and very friendly. This is one of those places where the locals come and eat. We…read morehad carne asada tacos and a quesadilla - both fantastic!

They have a solid side of fixings that you can put on your tacos or tortas, the red salsa is super good with a nice kick and definitely don't miss out on the pickled radishes and onions. The roasted pineapple they add on the side is definitely a nice touch. Super cheap and very good food, definitely hit this spot up when you're in Puerto Vallarta.

Usually from 6-8 or earlier if she's out of food. After that, they switch to primarily two ladies in the kitchen but the older lady might still be around and taking your order. The al pastor tacos are top notch. We came here 4-5 times during our stay in PV. Although I prefer the taco stand next to it (Los Jarochos), this place is very solid. I would rate this place as a 4.5 rather than a 4. Each time I visited, the lady pressing the tortillas gave us great and friendly service. Plus understood our very poor Spanish. If the place next door isn't open, you won't be disappointed here. Their al pastor tacos are very good with a slice of pineapple. You can add your own salsas, lime, onions, etc. Beware, their carne asada comes with beans. Tacos are 10 pesos. Quesadillas are 25. Tortas are 30.

Tip for the non- or limited-Spanish speakers:…read more You'll be asked whether you want "surtido" or "carne", without further explanation. "Carne" (and more specifically "maciza") means you'll be getting lean-ish shoulder meat. "Surtido" costs less and means you'll be enjoying ribs, skin, stomach, or whatever parts of the pig might've made it into the carne. Nothing goes to waste when making carnitas, and you'll get richer flavor with the surtido. I mention this because the price difference probably shouldn't determine your choice. Folks who are put off by the rest of the pig probably won't feel better with a couple of extra pesos left over, and those who want a head-to-tail experience shouldn't miss it for the trivial coins, either.

This was one of our stops on the Vallarta Eats Food Tour…read more This is a taco stand that serves up pork cooked in lard. Yikes, I could feel my arteries shiver! The set up reminded me of a Chinese butcher shop with the splatter barriers that blocks debris of food from flying everywhere from the manic chopping of the meat and fat. A spread of condiments were available. FOOD: Lard Pork Tacos I can attest that the pork did have an extra richness from being cooked in lard. The mix also included chopped up pieces of fat. And not the soft kind but the rubbery variety which I ended up spitting out. I'm not a fan of soft corn tortillas and diced up fat, so I gave up after one bite. OVERALL: To each his/her own but I'm not a fan.
