Tacos after Dark Tour with Vallarta Eats

Tacos after Dark is an evening food walk in Old Town Puerto Vallarta run by Vallarta Eats, which presents itself as the city’s original food tour and is celebrating its 15th anniversary with this route. The idea is that when the sun sets and the beaches empty, the town comes alive with the sights, sounds and smells of its food scene. The listed duration is 210 minutes.

Your foodie guides lead you on foot through the historic streets and side streets of Old Town, where you sample tacos and sweet treats from family-run carts and restaurants. The itinerary lists about 180 minutes of exploring, to experience the life and food of Puerto Vallarta’s locals. Expect 5 savory food stops with 6 to 8 tacos or dishes in total, depending on how adventurous you feel, and a stop for handmade ice cream.

The menu varies, but the foods you may find include traditional pork pastor, beef cabeza, shrimp or fish, bean sopes, potato and beef tacos dorados, pork adobada, pork chorizo and ice cream. Children’s “infant” tickets include one taco at a location of their choice, water and a popsicle for dessert.

This walk suits travelers who enjoy street food and are comfortable being on their feet in the evening. It is listed as suitable for all physical fitness levels, but it is not recommended for guests with mobility issues or who identify as “slow walkers,” nor for travelers with poor cardiovascular health. Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller.

Diet needs deserve attention: vegetarian options are limited and the tour is not suitable for vegan or plant-based diets. Email Vallarta Eats about any food allergies when you book.

Bottled water, snacks and dinner are included. Alcoholic and carbonated beverages, hotel pickup and drop-off, and the guide’s gratuity (recommended 15% to 20%) are not. The tour operates rain or shine. Public transportation options are available nearby. The information provided does not list a meeting point, so confirm it when you book.
