What a great experience! It was me and my husband's first time in PV and this was recommended by a colleague of mine and it was well worth it! We decided to do the Tacos after Dark Tour. We were paired with another couple and surprisingly enough, they were from the same state. HA!
We had Abel as our tour guide, he was super informative and friendly. He taught us the history of Old Town PV and how it came to be and how it's expanded. All these vendors and restaurants are locally owned and freshly made. If you're looking for authentic tacos versus chained restaurants (Don Pablos, Taco Bell, Chipotle, etc.) and an adventurous foodie, this is perfect for you!
These are the places we stopped by:
-Taco Yanez: My first time trying tongue tacos - the most delicious tacos ever! Super tender and flavorful!
-Churro Man: Super friendly and the churros were the best! He's at a corner of a church with his vendor stand. I don't remember the last time I had churros and it was satisfying. My husband asked to stop the second time for more when we past him. HA! Later in the week, we paid him another visit to buy more churros and the line was long!
-Cisneros: This was our first stop and it was a seafood taco. Unfortunately, my husband doesn't eat seafood so they substitute it with a quesadilla. Everyone was so hungry at the first stop that it was devoured in 2 minutes.
-Las Gueras: This was the winner of the night, taco al pastor and al pastor quesadilla - lips smacking good! The bright pink interior with attributes of gold along with pinatas hanging above was a truly authentic and eye catching. We went a second time after the tour because, well, it is that good!
-El Moreno: This was the last taco stand stop, at this time, I'm about to explode. The tacos were good, but it's sad that it's not well remembered.
La Michoacana: Refreshing!!! Flavored water and ice cream! Where do we have this in the states? The owners were super sweet. My husband and I bought some to-go so we have some at our resort to enjoy and we even came back later to buy more!
We even stopped at a local tortilla shop and ate fresh tortillas. I never knew eating it alone with salt was so satisfying by itself.
After speaking with the locals (the best we could) these local restaurants rely on tourist to buy in order for them to thrive in their business. We are grateful for the experience with PV Eats and Abel, our foodie guide. We will definitely be back! read more
