Where to Find the Best Al Pastor Tacos in Puerto Vallarta: A Chef's Recommendation

If you’re a taco enthusiast in Puerto Vallarta, you must make your way to La Taquería PV for the ultimate al pastor experience. This gem of a spot serves up the best

in the city, all cooked to perfection over 100% charcoal-grilled goodness.

One of the standout dishes here is the alambre de pastor – a mouthwatering Mexican classic. Picture grilled beef, topped with crispy bacon, bell peppers, onions, gooey cheese, salsa, and in some variations, creamy avocado. The version served at La Taquería PV is next-level, with plenty of cheese and vibrant bell peppers that take the dish to a whole new realm of flavor. And for an extra kick, don’t miss out on the avocado sauce – trust me, it’ll make your taste buds go wild.

We also had the chance to try their tortas de pastor, which come loaded with juicy pastor meat, cheese, and roasted pineapple, all tucked into a fresh bolillo roll. The combination of savory and sweet is absolutely stunning.

But the true showstopper here is the nachos with beef and pastor. (pictured)

The nachos are perfectly crispy and generously piled with meat, making every bite a crispy, meaty delight. Add a dollop of their house-made salsas, and you’re in taco heaven.

La Taquería PV’s menu is packed with other mouthwatering options, including tacos de beef tongue, arrachera, and, of course, more pastor. If you’re in the area, you won’t regret checking this place out – it’s a must-visit for anyone looking for authentic, delicious Mexican flavors.
