    Great introduction to lots of foods in PV.

    Al was great about explaining to us the history of the town and what kind of foods we were eating. Also very accommodating to the vegetarians in our group. Typically we have to eat all cheese foods but we had lots of variety.

    Best tour ever. Don’t miss this.

    The guide Al….. was so friendly, knowledgeable and patient. There is so much to see and he was in no hurry to rush us along. Omg the goat birria tacos are to die for. The history of all the places was very informative. It’s about a 3hr tour and is worth every $$$ spent. Highly recommend if it’s your first time in Puerto Vallarta or if you’re a frequent visitor.

    We ate so much, it was delicious.

    One of the best food tours. We had a great time with Joana our guide. The food was delicious and plentiful. Our friends have lived here for 7 years, never been on a tour. Now they are hooked. Can't wait to schedule our next tour.

    Old Town Taco Tour with Vallarta Food Tours: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.

    How much does Old Town Taco Tour with Vallarta Food Tours cost?

    +

    Prices start at $49 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Vallarta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Old Town Taco Tour with Vallarta Food Tours take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Vallarta is not rushed.

    Is Old Town Taco Tour with Vallarta Food Tours worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 40 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puerto Vallarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Old Town Taco Tour with Vallarta Food Tours?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Old Town Taco Tour with Vallarta Food Tours suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Old Town Taco Tour with Vallarta Food Tours?

    +

    Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Vallarta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Vallarta and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Old Town Taco Tour with Vallarta Food Tours start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puerto Vallarta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Puerto Vallarta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Winner 2026 Downtown Vallarta Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Taco Adventure Evening Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Signature Taco Tour in PV with Vallarta Eats. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Old Town Taco Tour with Vallarta Food Tours?

    +

    Included: Lunch. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Old Town Taco Tour with Vallarta Food Tours?

    +

    El Cunado taco stand is located on the corner of Olas Altas and Francisca Rodriguez which is a pedestrian only street going to the Los Muerto Pier. It will be the first taco and only stand on that street. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Old Town Taco Tour with Vallarta Food Tours offered in?

    +
