Tacos de Birria Chanfay
@marissamclean
Amazing Birria tacos and agua fresca, be sure to order them “dorados” if you want them crispy and it’s a side of consommé!

Ostiones Puerto Vallarta "Cachurras"
@marissamclean
These guys are under the pier every day serving up fresh shell fish, ceviche, and tostadas. If you want to eat where the locals eat then this is the spot.

Sit Down Restaurants - Budget Friendly
Mariscos Cisneros
@marissamclean
Amazing spot serving fresh seafood dishes included in many local street food tours. Be sure to try the prawn tacos at the stand outside.
This is both a tacos stand and a sit down restaurant with separate menus.

The best churros in town, make sure you get there early so you don’t miss out. Open at 6 pm every night right outside the church, always fresh and so cheap.
