We also ate tacos from more spots in Puerto Vallarta, but not every place deserved to be on this list. We ate at every single one of these places with no issues. No need to be nervous about trying street food in Puerto Vallarta. There’s a few things I didn’t realize when it comes to food culture here, as well as a few items to check for if you’re concerned about food safety. Since we also wanted to compare apples to apples, we’re comparing al pastor tacos and birria tacos (even though we ordered other items too).Īt the end of the post, I’m also sharing tips I learned about ordering tacos in Puerto Vallarta. In this guide I’m sharing the best tacos we found in Puerto Vallarta, mostly in the Zona Romantica, El Centro and the 5 de Diciembre neighborhoods. If you live or work on the southwest side, you may find yourself here a lot – and I envy you for it.On our recent trip to Puerto Vallarta we tried as many tacos as we could – at both street taco stands and sit down restaurants. Speaking for myself, anyway a couple of hours after I left, I realized I was already thinking about whether there was any errand I could run nearby in the next few days to use as an excuse for another visit. It exerts a pull on the consciousness and appetite.
Trompudo’s is one of those places that has a gravity of its own. This stuff might clear your sinuses, but it still tastes great. The piña that comes with the al pastor has a bright heat that further enhances the flavor without overpowering it I complimented him on the spicy balancing act and Garcia expressed a bit of disdain for salsas that weaponize heat at the expense of flavor. Speaking of detail, I’m also impressed that Trompudo’s makes six different kinds of salsa – one formulated to accompany and set off each protein as well as a general-purpose mild. It’s a slightly messy eating experience, but using up a few extra napkins is a vanishingly small inconvenience for such an exquisitely flavored creation, beautifully balanced in every taste detail. That savory pork is presented with diced pineapples for a splash of citrus, and when it’s mixed with sour cream, avocado, onions and melted cheese inside a buttered, grilled tortilla … well, getting acquainted with the quesadilla is what led to the state of pleasure I was asking about above.

(STEVE GILL/Okla City Free Press)īut the restaurant’s magnum opus is the al pastor carved off the trompo – the inverted cone of meat that appears in the dreams of discerning carnivores. Trompudo’s quesadilla made with their own al pastor carved off a trompo. You could get nachos, a torta, mulitas or burritos with any of these possibilities and feel perfectly satisfied. Protein options include beef asada and pork carnitas, and I had tacos with a surprisingly rich and smoky chorizo and, at Garcia’s recommendation, suadero (a tender cut of beef reminiscent of brisket). I should detour slightly to clarify that Trompudo’s is far from a one-trick pony. It might be nice to have a round of cocktails as an extra reason to linger – the interior is done up in warm colors and wooden accents, with hanging glass lights and some decorative roosters and farming implements scattered around for décor – but you shouldn’t need any additional impetus to visit beyond the main menu. Trompudo’s is still pretty new: The drive-through window opened in August, the dining room opened about a month ago and they’re close, owner Guadalupe Garcia told me, to getting the bar up and running.
