Our Favorite Restaurants

With the famous restaurant row (Calle Basilio Badillo) just 2 blocks away, you'll have almost everything to choose from. In all these years, we definitely have some favorites however:)
Views from this beachfront charmer are amazing all day long. Dinner is our favorite, featuring live music and a wonderful view of the colorful Los Muertos Pier. Service is top notch, and the Tropical Mexican Cuisine will delight!

Delicious italian dishes and pizza, perfectly situated on the corner in a sunken dining room. They've got a great wine list and great service.

Healthy fare for breakfast and lunch, with vegan options. The mediterranean bowl, with grilled chicken, swiss chard, broccoli, spinach, chickpeas, feta cheese and kalamata olives on a bed of wild rice and quinoa is a must! Oh, and don't forget that Lemon-Chia water....tart and sweet:)

Lively atmosphere, great food and awesome margaritas! Right on Basilio Badillo street with lots of passersby to people watch. The Molcajetes, especially chicken, are a must here!

3 delicious mole sauces (Cilantro, Pumpkin or Chocolate) and you can try them to decide on your favorite. Chicken mole is their speciality, but other dishes are great too. Also on Basilio Badillo Street, with live music on many occasions. A short walk from home:)

This jewel, in the former home of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton is a must-see! Beautiful decor, amazing food, and spectacular views await your senses! The Puente de Amor (Love Bridge) is a great spot for photos and reminiscing one of Hollywood's (and PV's) amazing love stories.

Tacos, Tacos and more Tacos!

Tacos are plentiful in PV, and we've tried almost every taco restaurant and stand in the neighborhood. We've listed both our favorite taco restaurants and taco stands. #tacolife
A very popular and small street-side restaurant, within walking distance. Usually has a line, but worth the wait! Al Pastor (pork), Chicken and Asada are the best, but sometimes the Asada takes some time to come out. The hot sauces here are amazing, and the mango habanero salsa is like fruity fire!

Also known as "Pink Pepes", this place has awesome meats, Maggi-fried onions and cheese tostadas (be sure to ask for them since they seem to be compliments of the chef), and the wait is always minimal. Hands down, you must try the Al Pastor and the Tromba (a delicious mixture of steak and chorizo that is a-mazing). Best to hop in an Uber (about $45-65 pesos) or a taxi. 10-15 minutes out, but you can take a long nice walk back along the malecon to work off the calories if you decide.

This taco stand is one of our faves!! If you translate the name, don't let it fool you! The meats are all delicious, but the Al Pastor (pork) is amazing, and they put cooked pinto beans in their Asada tacos. YUM! Right next to the Farmacia Guadalajara, where you can pick up necessities like food, personal care items, medicine and snacks for the short walk back home:)
