The menu has a variety of tacos and an array of condiments. The condiments are a bonus! Not my first time at this place. Have been coming here since Covid. Tacos are not the best in town but it will definitely take care of your taco fix. Price is also affordable. Service is so-so. Place is small and clean."

At the end of the meal, If you have room, get the cheese flan. If you are full and don't have room, get the cheese flan. Go really in your stay in PV, because you'll NEED to go back as much as possible."

Jul 11, 2026"This was our favorite restaurant experience in Puerto Vallarta. The food was so authentic. This place is just two blocks off the Malecon, but felt very much like a hidden gem. We ate here multiple times and the others dining were always Mexicans; the food was so good and so plentiful, I can't explain why it wasn't overrun with tourists. The food was so inexpensive, it felt free. We routinely left a 100% tip because getting that much food for that much money felt like stealing. Our entire meal price including drinks for two people was under 300mx. I couldnt even get a decent burrito at Taco Bell for that price, let alone an authentic handcrafted meal cooked before my eyes on an open air kitchen and served with assorted vegetables and pickled salads as complimentary appetizers. The multitude of sauces and salsa left our tastebuds dancing. 5⭐ Eager to try a variety of places, this was the only restaurant we visited for multiple meals. We were also able to see the fireworks over the Malecon while we ate."
