Located in the lively Centro area of Puerto Vallarta, Taquería de Birria El Banquito is a small, unassuming spot that delivers big on flavor. Known for their delicious birria tacos and authentic Mexican fare, this “hole-in-the-wall” eatery has a casual charm and true local feel.
The birria tacos were perfectly cooked—crispy, flavorful, and absolutely hit the spot when paired with their rich and savory consomé. The food here is simple, but done incredibly well.

I’ve had tacos in my life that are very saggy and oily, this one didn’t disappoint us. We’ve come twice while we were in Puerto Vallarta! I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking to have some good tacos and not...
