Love your videos!

[@mikechrest6997]

Los Pericos - Molcajete is to die for !

[@Katepwe]

YUM! These are going on my must try list too!

[@brianwest1501]

Nicely done! Headed to La Cruz in mid July. Take a look at the Refuge of Hope. Great charity in Bucerias. They are doing great things for the children up there. Cheers!

[@Keith_Aerotrunk]

all the foods are yummy! Must try and must visit the place. 👍👍👍

[@rafaelescalante1289]

Thank you, as always, for sharing your amazing videos. I will be sure to look for these off-the-beaten-path places when I am in Bucerias. Cheers!

[@warrenthoms8423]

I like the fact that la china moved to the higher elevation

[@troymills9437]

Great video. I enjoy finding restaurants with traditional fare filled with locals and not overrun with tourists. Will have to give some of these a try the next time we're in Bucerias.

[@kylemerritt1545]

Oh shit ! There is some good street foods there

[@spankymcduff9683]

Thanks for your vids...Wife and I will be spending February in NV and will be mostly hanging around Bucerius...two thumbs up

[@wadeparis4420]

Thanks again, for a very informative video. I am returning , I've done the resorts. I find that I keep taking cabs to the heart of the city. Central and Zona. Thank again.

[@fernandozome1750]

Thank you for sharing Aly ! Great home owned Taco Stands around Bucerias, I remember about 20 yrs ago , after scuba diving, we used to stop at Bucerias small Home owned garage Taco Rest... They HAD "Ultra Delicious" "Manta Ray StewTacos " mmm!! The most delicious Tacos ! So what your doing is Right ! ..Small places like those in video, quite often you find a big winner (not ilegal species) to enjoy when your passing by.

[@syadon3259]

At El Porton today for the mole. So delicious! Thank you for recommending!

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Well done Aly! Love all your videos. My mouth is watering 🤤

[@alysmalls]

Thank you!

[@michealtessier7246]

Good website review of your experience on Swoop airlines. I get high anxiety very easily anymore. Reading your very thorough review put me at ease. Hopefully everything works out for me.

[@AndyLikeARollingStone]

Cool stache, Mobius! 😎👍

[@joespurgeon7250]

Thanks for a great tour of great stands & restaurants. My favorite Birria is that made from specially raised goats. Beef Birria has become popular among the tourist crowd. Are there food stalls in the main market? normally located in Centro. That's where the best local fare is cooked up and more locals eat there. My time in Bucerias was in the late 60's and early 70's. We plan on another journey there next Spring.

[@itsAlwaysChristmas]

Hey Smalls, lovin the food here. The tacos look flavoursome. Big up Mobius for that mooostash. Hope you're both well. Say hi to the Govnor for me. Alan

[@duckspond-douglasslade5054]

Great vid!!! As usual! ;) You 2 have to try Spaghetti Factory!! Amazing Gnocchi!!! Wow!!! Really is great food. Just my tip Cheers!

[@danamcardle1403]

Aly could you do a video about the best bars or hang outs, might be heading down with my sons and this old man needs a few tips

[@keithbull9113]

Thanks for the info going to Riviera Nayarit 1st week of July for 7 days

[@Katepwe]

A friendly FYI…some of these places may close during the low season.

[@alysmalls]

Yes, Sheryl is right! I would double check the Facebook pages before going

[@carlosbarrios9717]

Aly, Thank you again for all of the great information. Quick question, where do you exchange your currency? It sounds like most places only except cash; Is that the case?

[@alysmalls]

Yes, mostly cash. I just stop at a bank and use the ATM to take out cash, it seems to be the best exchange

[@taragoerdt6007]

What would you suggest for those who are going to Puerto Vallarta via cruise ship. We’ll be down there in November and have no idea what to do for any excursions. Is there a trusted company that you know of that will take us to some of these places and maybe a beach or something?

[@alysmalls]

I would contact Antonio - instagram.com/pv.trailblazer.love/ send him a message on instagram, we've done a few excursions with him, him & his team are great. Tell him I sent you and he'll take great care of you!
