We had a wonderful time with Enrique (who happens to be the owner)! We stopped at 4 taco spots and had a wonderful tour of the city! My family and I have been traveling to Puerto Vallarta for 28 years. We have our favorite spots and usually kept to what we knew. Going on this tour opened our eyes so much! We visited parts of town that we'd never been to before. It was wonderful. Along the tour Enrique told us about a lot of his favorite spots to eat (not just tacos), by the time we were done with the tour I had a list of 20 new places to try!! So fun! It was wonderful to have a guide who knew where to go, plus we had some great tacos! We were in a very comfortable van with AC and didn't have to do too much walking (which was needed for a couple people in our group). I would highly recommend this tour!
Muchas gracias! I had a wonderful time sharing my 'secret' spots with you. As an owner, nothing makes me happier than seeing long-time PV lovers discover a part of the city they’ve never seen before. I’m so glad the taco stops were a hit and that your group enjoyed the comfortable ride. You have a great family, and I look forward to hearing which of those 20 restaurants becomes your new favorite!
…that’s what my family said! We came hungry, and what a delicious time we had! Our guide Enrique was so friendly & patient with us; he felt like part of the fam! Tour was informative …& not just about tacos… but about other foods, Mexican culture and the city of PV too. It’s a fun city tour with tacos & alcohol versus just facts and stories where I’m sure my family would have gotten bored! As a chef himself, the spots Enrique took us too were delish, and he also recommended several other restaurants for us to try on our own. Though it’s easy to walk around the city center, our concern of being so hot prompted us to specifically choose this tour with transportation…so glad we did! :)
I’m so glad you came hungry and left happy! It was a privilege to guide your family through the streets and flavors of PV. Being a chef, I’m very picky about where we stop, so I’m thrilled you found every bite delicious. Thank you for choosing the van tour to beat the heat—it definitely makes the margaritas taste even better! Safe travels, and come back to see us soon!
Vicho, our tour guide, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He even made accommodations for the vegetarian in the group. The tacos were excellent and we stopped into a beautiful church as well.
Thank you for choosing us to be a part of your vacation memories. We look forward to seeing you again in PV. ¡Hasta la próxima!
We loved this Taco tour from the moment we met Enrique until the end. He gave such great information about Puerto Vallarta, showed us such interesting towns and their history. He was fun, friendly and a great host. And the tacos - All were delicious in interesting local restaurants in different parts of town. First time I did a tour like this driving in their vehicle and it made it so much easier for us as 2 of us have difficulty walking at the moment. Can’t wait to do more of your tours in San Jose next year! Thank you Enrique for going above and beyond.
What a wonderful review! Thank you so much for taking our Puerto Vallarta #JuanMoreTacoTour and for your incredibly kind words. I loved sharing the history and interesting corners of Puerto Vallarta with you, and I'm so glad you found the tour both informative and fun. And of course, the tacos! It's always a joy to introduce guests to those authentic, delicious flavors from our carefully selected local spots. We're already looking forward to welcoming you to San Jose for another one of our tours next year! Thank you again for your amazing feedback and for recognizing the effort we put in. It was a pleasure being your guide! GRACIAS!
Incredible tour of local restaurants and so much delicious. That said the best part was getting to learn about the culture and venture into restaurants we would have otherwise passed by.
Thanks a lot for your candid review, looking forwars¡d to your next visit.
If you enjoy tacos or food in general, you'll love this. Our guide Miguel was amazing and extremely informative. Plus a tequila tasting was a great way to end the experience!
We are thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful experience on our food tour. Miguel is a passionate guide and we are glad he was able to share his knowledge and enthusiasm with you. Thank you for your feedback on the tequila tasting! We make sure to tailor the experience to the tastes of all our participants. We hope to see you back in Cabo San Lucas soon!
Our group of 15 loved every minute of our food tour! Miguel and Shorty were absolutely incredible guides - they not only provided a ton of history and information, they were just an overall good time. Every bite (and sip!) we tried was outstanding and it was such a great experience getting to try some of the more authentic and local-approved Cabo spots. I highly recommend!
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing experience with us! Miguel and Shorty are beaming after reading your kind words. They truly take pride in creating a fun and informative experience, filled with delicious bites and fascinating history. It warms our hearts to know they were "an overall good time" for your entire group! Your recommendation means the world to us. Knowing you'd highly recommend the tour motivates us to keep showcasing the best of Cabo's culinary scene. We hope you come back soon! Gracias!
Just finished a fabulous taco tour of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with Juan More Taco - Food Tours. True authentic and delicious local cuisine with Martha explaining the how’s and why’s. A quick stop that we almost skipped was the coconut water at Coco Francisco that turned into a most interesting stop with every part of the coconut being used from the water and cocktails to cookies, jelly, coconut oil, husks and more. The last stop of shrimp Al Pastor with blue corn tortillas and a cold Pacifico was a delicious way to end the tour. Martha, our guide was was a wealth of information and had excellent English and just a total sweetheart. If we ever come back, I will request Martha!
We’ll be happily waiting for you on your next visit to Puerto Vallarta my friend! Muchas gracias!
We had such a wonderful time with our guide , Irma. We were the only two with her on the tour so it was certainly a private tour! Irma took us to the neighborhoods that are not on the “tourist” maps and told us so much about the people and their culture. The food was delicious and the people so friendly. One of the highlights was the tequila tasting in the jungle! Irma was fantastic and as she said, we met as strangers and left as FRIENDS!!
The food was delicious and unique. The tastings were fresh, varied and representative of the locale. The guide was knowledgeable and fun. I would definitely recommend this tour in San Jose.
Hola Lauren! Gracias for making #JuanMoreTacoTours a part of your visit to San Jose del Cabo! Hope to see you again soon in SJ or in any of our locations throughout Mexico!
