Puerto Vallarta Food Diary: A Week of Eating in Zona Romántica 🌮🌊

Working remotely from PV (Puerto Vallarta) for a week, mostly staying in Zona Romántica—so naturally, I ate my way through the neighborhood. Here’s the delicious recap! 🌮 Street Food Adventures Joined an Airbnb food tour—basically a taco crawl until I couldn’t move. Standouts: Carnitas Don Gil: Crispy tacos that ruined all other tacos for me. 🤤 Tacos de Birria Chanfay: A generational family birria spot—rich, spicy, and unforgettable. Macareno: Not a street stall but a cute little restaurant with Instagram-worthy plating (and dessert!). (Honorable mention: The tour ended with me in a taco coma—worth it.) 🍽️ Casual Eats Birriería Robles: My last lunch in PV, a no-frills birria spot packed with locals. So cheap, so good—but they only take cash! Had to scramble to an ATM (ended up paying 3x the price thanks to fees 💸). Still, zero regrets. Tuna Azul: A trendy seafood spot—their mystery-spiced rice was the star. Asked the waiter, but even they didn’t know the secret ingredient. 🧐 Final Thoughts PV’s food scene is unpretentious, flavorful, and full of surprises—whether it’s a $2 street taco or a hidden gem with magic-seasoned rice. Next time: More birria, less ATM fees. 😂 #PuertoVallartaEats #TacoCrawl #DigitalNomadEats #MexicoFoodie
