El Carboncito

So delicious!! Everything is about $1 USD and it is so good. You can order as much or as little as you like so it is a great meal or snack. The family has been making tacos here for MANY years and it is some of the best Pastor in the city. We heard about it from Vallarta Food Tours. We recommend the taco tour.

Best chuleta I've had in PV so far. I tasted the al pastor and it was also delicious. Fast service, took longer to get the check lol But otw, tasty, no frills, sit outside or inside with fans.

This place is a must try if you are in PV. It's a small hole in the wall that has only about 8 tables inside and a few chairs outside. They open in the evening time around 7pm and stay up late while people are still up and eating (past midnight). The food is delicious and so affordable. Mostly all locals here, we were the only "tourist" in the place. One of the waiter spoke English and it made it easy to order. They are very friendly and I would totally come back every time I'm in PV.

IMO - best tacos in PV. Why?

1. Tortillas and Al Pastor were HOT and fresh, where other more “popular” spots didn’t feel as authentic or fresh
2. Al Pastor was just right amount and flavor is balanced perfectly.
3. It’s where the locals go — and was recommended by our Uber driver when I asked where the good taco spots were. He was 110% right.
4. SO CHEAP: at the time of this writing - tacos were 15 pesos (about .75 cents a taco) and the Volcanes (crunchy taco) was 20 pesos (1 dollar).

It’s a crime the quality of taco they serve and how much they are. I hesitated to write this because more people could start going here, however I want them to succeed and hope it gets the recognition it deserves.

Save your wallet, trip, and taste buds for the best straightforward tacos you won’t regret. Especially if you are staying in the hotel zone. We stayed at Villa Premiere and came here every night from the time we heard about it

The shawarma pineapple is to die for!!! It has great flavor with extra kick if you like it with spice. Came here from a Vallarta Eat Tour, and keep coming back for more! 30pesos for a drink and a taco!!!! Like $1.50

I had to try something new. I tried the alambre. It's like a fajita with cheese and a stack of tortillas. This will be my new regular order here. It is awesome! Pictured shows the stuffed potato and the alambre.

Two years ago:
I'd never been before. I ordered 5 al pastor tacos and my wife had 3. I saw they had baked potatoes on the menu. We ordered one each. Wow those things are incredible. They come with a stack of tortillas. There's easily enough stuff on top of the potato to load up 8 shells. Then there's the potato covered in cheese and the plate of cucumber and radish. What a struggle getting through that after 5 tacos. My wife couldn't do it. She tried but could not. We'll know next time. The potato is a meal on its own.
