Yummy barbacoa and birria, cooked out front! Great service, food and price! Go for some good coffee next door too!

Best lamb tacos in town. Crispy and regular tortilla tacos are delicious! Must get the consomé too.

Try the local specialty taco De Birria . 23 each! Two makes a nice breakfasts.

More stars are needed. This small place makes the BEST bbq beef tacos in PV. The family owner are very nice and helpful. The line could be long. We waited 15 minutes in the mid morning time. There was no seating but plenty of room on the sidewalk steps. We were not alone in this arrangement. Highly recommend and will be back on a very regular intervals.

Ya’llllll These are hands down the best barbacoa tacos in Puerto Vallarta! The birria is also very good with consomé. I am going to bring every friend and family member here.

Had a barbacoa taco and small consomé - it was perfect

Call to make sure it's open during the time and day you're going to visit. Excellent tacos, freshly made and the meat is cooked all night. This is the absolute best in Vallarta.

Great eats in this somewhat off-the-beaten-path place. They have their own small restaurant and a taco stand upfront as well which I prefer to just a solo taco stand. Birria is the specialty and is a must try. Tacos are served drenched in consomme and is really good. Variety of sauces to choose from.
