Well worth the wait! Tacos El pastor were hands down the best I’ve ever had – not to mention the chorizo and the beef. We ate here twice during the week.

Its been years since we’ve enjoyed Pancho’s Tacos because of how popular it is but finally this time the line up was short (go early!!) Great chicken tacos, Modelo & margarita complete with a mini Corona.

Load up on all things all pastor and your tummy will thank you. We got the grilled onions, the volcano, quesadillas and the 4x al pastor and cheese tacos. (plus some margaritas while we were waiting in line). Everything was delicious.

First time I ever had Pastor Tacos and have to say I love them. We lined up for about 40 minutes before getting in but it was certainly worth the wait. We were going to go for lunch one day but decided to have a…coffee and by 3:30 the lineup was already 40 minutes so we opted out. Next day we went to Pepe’s which had no lineup and has a similar menu.More

Get there early when they open at 4:00 if you don’t want to wait. Husband loves their baked potato stuffed with pastor for 115 pesos, what a deal. I had three pastor tacos that where so loaded with meat I had to eat some with…a fork before I could fold and eat like a taco. Great service. Love their condiment tray that comes with the tacos. It’s the best deal in town.More

Very over rated and you stand in line forever. There are many more better taco restaurants and stands. Try Sonorita Tacos instead.

Come here every time we are in Vallarta , long lines but oh so worth the wait. Prices have increased since February (but what hasn’t ) but very worth the price. The Al pastor is loaded onto the tacos and is safe for those with…gluten allergies as my wife is celiac .More

Delicious late night tacos! After visiting PV for 20+ years I finally had a meal at Panchos and it was so good! We tried the chicken and beef tacos as well as the volcano tacos. All were tasty but the volcano tacos were insanely delicious….Cheap eats and incredible sauces as well.More

No explanation for always having a line of people waiting to get in to this tiny place. There are literally 100s of places to get good-to-great tacos in PV —- and NO LINES!!!!

Ok after all the people I know telling us we needed to come here we finally did!! There was 6 of us and yes when we got there about 830pm after shopping there was a big line to get to this place !! So the…guy comes to us while in line asking how many of us there was! We said 6 so he gave us a paper menu with items they had !! We ordered 2 beers and 4 water bottles and he marked it on paper. We asked if we could get separate papers per couple he said it would be to complicated lol!! Didn’t understand that but ok!! So we waited to it was us next to be seated!! Two of us ordered one order of chicken tacos which they gave you two small tacos then the rest ordered 8 Al pastor tacos !! Of course they put it all on two plates so it wasn’t easy to separate them but we managed lol oh and we asked for 2 cokes!! The gave us a guacamole molcajete with chips that was real good !! The tacos were ok!! Not as good as all the hype!! But I guess for the price for everything being 500 pesos or 25 dollars for everything it was worth it!! If you are in the area and don’t mind waiting try them !!!More

Took my husband, daughter-in-law, 15mo old grandson, brother-in-law & sister-in-law to the streets in search of authentic faire… temps in the upper 80s yet 94%humidity = 102° at 8pm… late August.. this is a whole in wall.. while we wait on the sidewalk with a…30 min wait for a freed up table ahead of us we were greeted with pencil & preorder menu and thankfully offered ordering drinks while we wait… the atmosphere was bustling & loud- energized by some street performers we watched & soaked it all in. no “view” of the ocean but sidewalk & inside seating.. the time passed quickly and though we feared being sat inside it was quickly for not as “inside” had fans & sat 5 tables shoulder to shoulder patrons. when ordering- our group went with plates of street tacos… Birria, Pork chop (literally you even receive the chop) steak chop (same with the steak chop) & queso quesadillas for the babe. um, he ate the pork chop taco… great tastes, great options in sauces a couple very caliente’ … prices – better than expected.. 26$ for 5 plates overflowing with food! food may not be ready at the same time, cheese is very thick, furniture may be questionable & no high chairs, but hey- they do try in all that hot mess … suggest going here… it’s worth itMore
