EATING OUR WAY THROUGH PUERTO VALLARTA | Best Street Food

If you are like us, food is one of our favorite parts of travel and getting to know a country and it's culture. We may be biased, but we like to say #Mexicanfood is our favorite food. So what better way to start off our time in #PuertoVallarta than with a food tour with some of the local favorites.
There are tons of #foodtours running in Puerto Vallarta and though it is nice at times to just follow a person around to the hidden gems and must-try foods in a city, we like to create our own tours. We get to go at our own pace, throw in some extra stops and experience it as a local would, just walking up to the stand and ordering on our own. So we did some research, found la Zona Romantica was the area to explore and then found "cheap eats" through Trip Advisor and Google, clicked on the highest-ranking ones and pinned them on a map.
If you're interested in following our route or checking out a couple different places along our route check it out:
goo.gl/maps/LSxCtAJfeFsigYHG9
This food tour includes seafood tacos, more tacos, tortas, some drinks at our favorite spot and it is ended with our favorite desert in Mexico. We have to change our route a couple times due to some stalls being closed, but that's part of the adventure here, going with the flow and seeing what works and what doesn't.
So check it out to get your daily dose of food envy, build a tour around this guide, or to just appreciate Mexican food!
Alternatively, if you are looking to book a food tour, there are plenty running through the city. Our choice would be :

Mariscos Cisneros fish tacos on Aguacate, Zona Romantica. Taqueria Los Jarochos beside the Farmacia Guadalajara

[@HungNguyen-iv3eh]

Why did not you put the price on

[@ManGaribay]

Wow, you guys brought me back some childhood memories. Marisma is named after their owners, Mary and Ismael. I would spend my summer vacations with them, at that very same house behind the taco stand. Mary is my cousin. I now live in USA but can't go too long without coming back to visit PV. See you guys in March 2024

[@markschellhammer4663]

We lived in PV for almost 4 years, 3 1/2 in Zona Romantica. We moved back to the States April 2022. We rarely missed a chance to eat at Mariana’s. One of our favorites. The ladies are so sweet. I ate at tacos de cabeza but my wife wouldn’t eat there. Also lingua and cheek. I ate the carnitas at your second stop many times. On Venustiano carranza. Always many locals eating there. Sit on the curb or find a spare chair. Birrias de Chanfay has the best birrias tacos and empenadas. Taco Hormigas in front of Farmacia Guadalajara is one of the best street vendors in ZR. I haven’t eaten at the birria place Tacos Moreno you went to, but have passed it many times. The summer sunsets are the best when there’s rain clouds still in the sky.

[@louisn9084]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Definitely going to check out a few places you had mentioned. Hopefully they are still around.

[@aaronhodges1218]

I love walking around old town eating and people watching.

[@javiandjo]

I miss Puerto Vallarta already!

[@armmra9981]

Hola Im Mexican and my favorite taco too it’s cachete haha 🤙🏻

[@elizabethmiranda9190]

I love the video about tacos and were to go. we live and las vegas NV we are planning to moved to Puerto Vallarta and about a year. 😊😊

[@MichaelErman]

We love going down for the weekend. Headed out tomorrow (Friday) and rolling back Monday. Thank you for the awesome video!

[@mexicanbeachbumtv]

I used to live in Puerto Vallarta for 3 years, now I go there on vacation, I still live in Mexico, 3.5 hour drive from Phoenix or Tucson, Puerto Penasco/Rocky Point. SO happy to have great taco places. I found a new place recently that also has eyeballs, the BEST. In Vallarta outside of Ley downtown, there's taco stalls, pretty good too. I'm coming in November and looking for new places, just love you 2 kids. My friend said "boy those people can eat, I wonder how much weight they gained". I love that y'all got excited about the food, I got excited seeing the areas I used to walk around since my office (real estate) was Zona Romantica and I recognize all the streets and landmarks. Thank you again, I subscribed and liked. If you're ever in our area, let me know and I can show you some good spots.

[@patadeperro8995]

I had to pause because you guys were making me salivate..lol.. the good news is in 4 more years I'm moving to Puerto Vallarta.

[@javiandjo]

[@michellespettel1616]

The beef cheek stand is amazing!! We try to hit it up on every visit.

[@ulylchable7776]

[@MagicMexicoLady]

tostados de marlin are the best!!!!!!!

[@alonzocalvillo6702]

I haven't seen anything on El Pechugon which is a stand that sells roast chicken. When I went there about ten years ago that was one of my favorite places to eat.My wife went to PV last month and says they are still around and have been branching out, which is good news.

[@harveythompson6951]

There's an awesome Pastor Taco place next to Hotel Yasmin at Basilio Badillo 168, Zona Romántica, Emiliano Zapata. There's always a line, but it is so worth it!

Oh boy, u guys visited the best tacos de cabeza stand in the entire city! I’m so glad you could try them out as well as the tacos de carnitas and the churros, I grew up in that area and I remember going for some tacos with my grandparents who are actually friends with the owners. Nice video, hope you enjoyed your stand here.

[@javiandjo]

We’re so glad they’re the best cabeza tacos in the city! We chose the perfect stand!! 🙌🙌 We enjoyed Puerto Vallarta and look forward to going back!!

[@lorihalverson-wente7714]

What was the name of the businesses? We couldn’t catch it in the video for the 50 years in business one.

Most of the places you wear today I've been there before including the churro guy..lol

[@ksr622002]

Did you pay in Pesos or dollars, how much did it cost?

[@thatgayintrovert2613]

I loooove this video so much. Maybe quiet the music a bit next time, it can be hard to hear you at points :)

[@javiandjo]

Noted! We paid much more attention to the music levels this time around when making the San Miguel de Allende cost of living, so thank you so much for that tip!

[@YoMateoo]

Music obnoxiously loud. Had to turn volume down when it was blasting. Otherwise good video 👍

The map you put up south is on top? Why? You are teachers right?
