I make sure to visit once or twice per visit to get my fix of tacos al pastor. They are always fabulous and very affordable. Seating is very limited and generally in demand. Not many options but they make sure that what they do, they…do well. I’ll be back on my next visit to PV for sure.More
We ate there and were pleased by the food. Tacos al pastor were really good. The only concerning thing is that they don’t change the salsas bowls between customers. You use the same spoon and salsa bowls that the previous customers used. They also didn’t…wipe down tables between customers. Payment only in cash. Limited drink selection.More
After researching many places to eat authentic local food, I found El Carboncito. I was so excited to try this place out and it lived up to the hype! It’s a small joint known for their Al Pastor (grilled pork ????) frequented by many locals….There’s indoor and outdoor seating. I recommend the outdoor seating so you can watch them make your taco. The kitchen area is outside where they cook the meat. There’s plastic chairs surrounding the kitchen. Just sit down at a chair and someone will come by to take your order. They don’t speak English but understand a few basic words. I highly recommend getting the roasted onion bulbs with your tacos. It is a game changer. They bring your plate of tacos to you. I like how they only use 1 tortilla per taco. Unlike the US the tacos have 2 tortillas which makes them super filling. The Al Pastor tacos come with the meat, a slice of pineapple, chopped onions & cilantro. They also have a salsa bar to dress up your taco however you like. My first bite into the Al Pastor, I was in heaven and punched with a flavor bomb. So much was happening in my mouth! The meat was tender and juicy and the pineapple ????provided a sweet tangy twist to it. I can’t forget about the onion bulb. I take a bite of that before my bite of taco. It provides a nice crunchy texture to the taco. Just feed me more! I ended up getting 5 tacos ???? and they were less than 20 pesos each. I think my fave Al Pastor place in San Diego, Tacos El Gordo has been de-throned by El Carboncito! Just go, you won’t regret it. It was so damn good, I came here twice, literally. ⭐More
Excellent restaurant with very and tasty food.Excellent tacos, the best I ever had.Very good sevice.Value for money.
These tacos are delicious. The pastor was so tasty with a nice hint of charcoal. Service was excellent and fast. Prices are so reasonable. A good authentic local taco stand/ casual restaurant.
Without a doubt some of the best Tacos Pastor in PV Opens at 7 and some nights it was full of customers waiting Most nights there was a line up that got long around 7:30 but we went thyere one night and the crowds didn’t…get too bad until we were leaving around 8 But get there around 7 and you should be in good shape 15 pesos a Taco and there are a few more expensive itemsMore
El Carboncito is by far one of the best taco spots in Vallarta. They open about 7 but it’s really 7:15 or so. Been coming here for a couple year and we keep going back. There loaded Papas are amazing… chill local spot with a…lot of flavor. A must try!More
The best street tacos so far. Authentic pastor tacos and more. Great prices,15 peso tacos. Husbands favorite is their stuffed potatoes. Loaded with meat, cheese and the works around 100 pesos.
Just a short distance from the Malecon in the northern part of the romantic zone is the street food stall of El Carboncito. One of our last stops for a bite to eat after a fun night in town drinking on the way back to…our apartment. Of course, at that time of night, all the tacos and al pastors taste great! TIP: Be adventures try the chorizo. If you found this review informative, please check the box below. Thank youMore
We only went once but we loved it! We were tempted to go back but we wanted to try as many places as possible. these tacos and service were off the charts!
A baked pototo topped with melted cheese, meat and onion. Comes with a stack of warm tortillas and a side of sliced radish and cucumber. Don’t order any tacos until you’re finish this. Food is great. Prices are good. Staff is wonderful. I recommend the…al pastor on the potato.More
Down a small street downtown you will find these guys right before you get to the beach on the right hand side. So yummy and try all the different salsas!!
Best tacos in town – so say all Mexicans and all foreigners apparently . We love this place – simple , great food – friendly local people . A few beers and then tacos at Carboncito ????⭐️
Wow tacos were so good. Al Pastors were right in point. Liked sitting out on street chairs watching the cooks do there thing. Even dropped a taco on ground & they replaced it for free. Some of the best tacos I’ve had in my life…in a very authentic atmosphere!!!More
I would recommend if you love street tacos. So very delicious and very low price. Flavor is far beyond most others.
