Tacos, Tacos and more Tacos!
Tacos are plentiful in PV, and we've tried almost every taco restaurant and stand in the neighborhood. We've listed both our favorite taco restaurants and taco stands. #tacolife
A very popular and small street-side restaurant, within walking distance. Usually has a line, but worth the wait! Al Pastor (pork), Chicken and Asada are the best, but sometimes the Asada takes some time to come out. The hot sauces here are amazing, and the mango habanero salsa is like fruity fire!

Also known as "Pink Pepes", this place has awesome meats, Maggi-fried onions and cheese tostadas (be sure to ask for them since they seem to be compliments of the chef), and the wait is always minimal. Hands down, you must try the Al Pastor and the Tromba (a delicious mixture of steak and chorizo that is a-mazing). Best to hop in an Uber (about $45-65 pesos) or a taxi. 10-15 minutes out, but you can take a long nice walk back along the malecon to work off the calories if you decide.

This taco stand is one of our faves!! If you translate the name, don't let it fool you! The meats are all delicious, but the Al Pastor (pork) is amazing, and they put cooked pinto beans in their Asada tacos. YUM! Right next to the Farmacia Guadalajara, where you can pick up necessities like food, personal care items, medicine and snacks for the short walk back home:)
