Wonderful walking taco tour
Charles_E, Apr 2024
Ricky gave us a wonderful tour thru the Romantic Zone to 5 different taco stands, restaurants, bakery, market, and candy store. We enjoyed not only the various delicious tacos, but the history and culture he shared as well. We would definitely go again.

Best tacos with Alberto!
Brandy_R, Apr 2024
I'm finally getting around to writing our review. We did the tour on our first day in PV. We had Alberto as our guide. He was fantastic! He gave us history of the area and food. The places we ate at were amazing! We would absolutely recommend doing the tour. We loved it so much! Thank you for a great time.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
You are very welcome. We appreciate the review and glad to read that you enjoyed the food and your time with Alberto. Gracias!
Excellent
Joan_R, Apr 2024
Wonderful experience. Our guide gave us a walking tour of the Romantic Zone; giving us history of Mexican culture and how it relates to the tacos we had. The food was amazing. Go on an empty stomach!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for the review, Joan. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed both the food and history of your tour of Romantic Zone. Join us anytime. Gracias!
Karla is from PV, knows everyone and the taco tour was the best way to get to know the Romantic Zone
Noel_C, Apr 2024
Karla with a K, is the best tour guide ever. We were inspired by her knowledge of every cuisine, tradition and vendors. We ran into more than 10 people that met her on a tour a year ago, a few months ago, and even from the day before AT THE TACO SHOPS she was showing us. So amazing. DO NOT eat breakfast, every one of us was full by the 5th taco, but we still ate them.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
"Best tour guide ever" We can't ask for a better review. Great to hear that Karla showed you a good time. We also appreciate the insight on recommending others to not eat before the tour. It's easy to think we are exaggerating when we say "Come Hungry" Gracias!
Worth every dine
Molly_R, Apr 2024
Alberto was absolutely amazing. He was knowledgeable about the area. The best part was we got to experience the solar eclipse during our tour so that it even more memorable. Highly recommend this trip for anyone

Street food tour at Puerto Vallarta with guide Karla
L_R, Apr 2024
For my family’s first trip to PV, this was the best way to experience the local cuisine. We got to taste the best versions of the chilaquiles, birria, burrito michaca, fish tacos! We also tasted tacos from the famous tacos Moreno place. Finished off with ice cream from Michoacana; the creamy coconut popsicle was heaven! Our guide, Karla was sweet, attentive and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend taking this street food tour especially for those visiting PV for the first time.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
So great to hear we were able to make your first visit to Vallarta memorable. We appreciate the review and are glad to know that Karla took good care of you.
Absolutely delicious

Our family had a great time on the taco tour!! Everything was so delicious and Karla was an amazing guide. We learned a lot about the history of Mexican cuisine as well as new interesting info about Puerto Vallarta. Was really nice to get a taste of some of the local favorites. We got pretty full after the third stop, so definitely come hungry! Thanks Karla!

Scott_M, Mar 2024
We had a fantastic and delicious experience on this tour! Our guide, Alberto, was friendly, energetic, informative, and introduced us to a great variety of dishes, drinks, and salsas from around the area. Our favorite was the burrita machaca and the birria tacos. We also learned a lot about the history of Puerto Vallarta and visited markets and other shops. We would highly recommend this tour, and actually did just that afternoon to a family we met at our hotel!
Response from Host, Mar 2024

Tacos with Alberto
cathy_H, Mar 2024
This a must do !!! Alberto was an excellent guide with lots of information. We had a variety of tacos they were so good. This tour gets you off the Main Streets to the family owned spots. Also went the tortilla factory and local market Finished with home made ice cream. This tour is a 10 out of 10. Worth the money !!!
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Can't ask for anything better than a "10 out of 10". Thank you so much for the review. We really appreciate it and are so glad that you had a great time exploring the back streets of Vallarta with Alberto. Gracias!
Great guides and food.
Gerrit_M, Mar 2024
Alberto was a great guide. Food was delicious! We really enjoyed all the places we stopped at and Alberto was very informative. This is a WALKING TACO tour over some uneven surfaces, so if you have recently had knee surgery or you dont like eating tacos, you may want to take a different tour, imho.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Gerrit, thank you for the review and insight. It will be very helpful for others considering Vallarta Eats for their PV food tour experience. So glad you enjoyed your time with Alberto.
Cultural food at its best
Beth, Mar 2024
A real taste of local food and people was served! Alberto is an excellent guide with his heart for his hometown. Original family businesses with experienced and well supported flavours bring people back. All the food brought different flavours and you cannot leave without being stuffed! Best tour yet!
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thank you. We are very happy to read that this was your best tour yet. We really appreciate it and glad you didn't leave hungry. Gracias!
Highly recommend!
Sandra_V, Mar 2024
Our tour guide was a great guy! Very friendly, knowledgeable! The tacos were all very very good. Great tour to learn about the area and ask questions. You get a lot to eat.

Steve was our guide. He was personable and knowledgeable. The food was excellent and fun. Got a less touristy view of the city. Very appreciative.
