Is it OK to eat at the taco stands in Puerto Vallarta?

Yes, you should definitely eat at the taco stands in Puerto Vallarta. They offer some of the best, most authentic food in the city. The key is to choose wisely—look for busy stands with a steady flow of customers, as this usually means fresh ingredients and a good reputation. Cleanliness is also important, so pay attention to how the food is handled. Start with classics like tacos al pastor, birria, or carne asada, and be mindful of the salsa, as some can be quite spicy. Most stands only accept cash, so it’s good to have some on hand. If you’re open to recommendations, I can suggest some great spots based on what you’re craving.
