2022 Home 2021 NIGHTLIFE Guide Puerto Vallarta is a city that comes alive at night. The sun has set, and slowly you’ll see the street taqueria (taco) stands slowly open up, and fire up their grills. Most stands are open till very early the next morning, and so, after a night of bar hopping, or after a trip to see a live show at one of the local theaters, nothing hits the spot like a taco. And why not! You’ll find taco stands on just about every corner in Zona Romantica and wow, are they ever affordable. You can expect to spend $30 to $40 pesos on a meat taco (about $1.50 USD) and $45 to $50 pesos on a fish taco (just over $2.00 USD). Many of the stands have been operated for generations, with recipes handed down to preserve the same taste that has been enjoyed for years. But finding some of the best tacos takes work - and Vallarta Food Tours has done that work for you! Over the years they’ve worked to find the best taco stands, which you’ll see as part of their “Street Taco Tour”. “ We have crafted this tour so that you can watch the streets of Vallarta come alive on this evening taco adventure tour,” explained Paul Mayer with Vallarta Food Tours. “Come grab the best street tacos with us and enjoy specialty regional dishes as we share Vallarta’s vibrant history and culture.” Mayer said the tour consists of seven (7) delicious food tastings and a Raicilla tasting, and costs $49 per person.

Tours are held everyday, starting at 6 p.m, and they last about three (3) hours. Remember, you’ll visit seven places, so that’s seven or more tacos! Go hungry! We recommend taking this tour at the beginning of your stay in Puerto Vallarta, so you’ll have the insider knowledge of the best spots for the rest of your trip. Private group tours can easily be arranged. An average of six to eight people are on each tour. The tour begins at Mariscos El Güero, located on Francisco I. Madero 291. Be sure to wear your walking shoes, as you’ll be walking more than a mile or so to visit all of the stands.
