The most amazing al pastor tacos we had in Puerto Vallarta. They provide different sauces with your meal, and it's so tasty. The spice level is legit too. It gets pretty crowded but service is nice and fast. If there's one place that you need to try in Puerto Vallarta, it's this one.

Have an early dinner to avoid the lines. The portions are large. They don't have air conditioning. They only accept cash. The lemonade was delicious.

Mejores tacos! Best tacos! Line seems to always be long, but the wait is worth it. The servers work fast to get people situated, fed, and clean up the table as you go. The al pastor tacos have a great flavor, and the cooks pack each taco with plenty of meat. Our order was four tacos but there was enough meat for 8 honestly. Agua de Jamaica is really good and has free refills. You will see a mix of customers, tourists and locals, Mexicans and foreigners. It's that good. The atmosphere is very casual and I don't think you'll feel rushed even though they're trying to serve as many people as possible. Also, if you speak English or Spanish you will find it easy to order as some servers are bilingual

Really great spot for al pastor tacos! We tried both the quesadilla with cheese as well as the og tacos and both were great! The meat is super flavorful and well charred with crispy edges and I loved that the portion of pineapple on top is a bit larger than other spots. We also saw that they had flank steak tacos and had to order that as well. It came with 3 tacos filled with chopped steak and bone-in pieces on the side. Super flavorful and really great with the salsas on the side, definitely great to try as well. We also each got the agua fresca which was hibiscus to wash everything down. There's free refills which we didn't know until after the servers generously kept refilling our cups. Be warned the portions are big and 2 tacos is enough to feed an average eater but since it was our first time here we ordered way too much and couldn't finish the asada tacos. Pro tip to come for an early lunch or dinner to avoid the busy times. There's usually a line outside but we came around 6pm and only waited 10 min.

Pancho's Takos is a must try! If you're looking for authentic tacos al pastor then this is the place. We went around 3 pm so there was no wait but it was still packed. The al pastor tacos are a must. We ordered 10 and couldn't believe how generous they were with their servings. The salsas were delicious and the tacos were exactly what you'd expect. It does get packed at night so I would advise to go earlier if possible. It is cash only but there is a an ATM one business down. ¡Pancho's Takos es una visita obligada! Si estás buscando tacos al pastor auténticos, este es el lugar. Fuimos alrededor de las 3 pm, así que no hubo espera, pero aún así estaba lleno. Los tacos al pastor son imprescindibles. Pedimos 10 y no podíamos creer lo generosos que eran con sus porciones. Las salsas estaban deliciosas y los tacos eran exactamente lo que esperábamos. Se llena por la noche, así que aconsejo ir más temprano si es posible. Solo aceptan efectivo, pero hay un cajero automático a un negocio de distancia.

Food was really good, each taco is loaded with tons of meat. Service is quick and easy to order, tables inside and outside. The inside was pretty small so we chose outside. The wait is just too long in my opinion. We went right went they opened so luckily got a seat but did not return since lines were too long. Definitely worth a try though just get there early or be ready to wait!

We heard this place was amazing but always a long line so we decide to give it a try. They don't take reservations. Walk in only. So we waited about 20-30minutes but yes definitely was worth the wait. Panchos Takos did not disappoint us. Tacos were definitely really flavorful and delicious! Service was excellent and staff very attentive and friendly. Prices are affordable and good size tacos. Definitely coming back a few more times before leaving. Best tacos in Puerto Vallarta! Until next time. Chao!

By far best tacos I've ever had!! Coming from Southern California, you're surrounded by good tacos but these are in a league of their own. We order a couple quesadillas, al pastor tacos, and volcan. The portion size of the tacos is not what I expected. They're huge! The flavor of the pastor was so fresh and you could taste the spices. The quesadilla was delicious as well. This is a place you visit and wish you had one local to your city. The place was packed with people but a server was able to give us the last empty table in a back corner. It was a tight squeeze but we were just happy to get in so quickly. As we left, there was a line of about 10 people waiting for a table. Definitely a must try when you're visiting Puerto Vallarta!

After seeing a line that wrapped around the block, we knew we had to check this spot out. Line moved quickly considering there was only about 10 tables. Very affordable considering the tourist traps near by and so so tasty!! Sitting right out on the street is the perfect vibe for people watching and taking in new surroundings. Great portions with quality and flavourful food!! Can't forget to mention their awesome array of table side salsas - beware of the mango one, honestly verrry spicy.
