Best Burritas in PV! Small place with minimal seating but oh so good. Mixta burrito is octopus , fish, and shrimp. Delicious and fair prices.

Great little place. They took the idea from Tacon De Marlin and is very similar with look and taste. A little cheaper and mostly locals come here instead of tourists. The sea bass is excellent. Opens around noonish.

They have the best shrimp burritos I have ever had in my life. They are crispy and buttery on the outside and have melted cheese on the inside. The locals eat here, even the cops. The octopus burritos are also really good and I usually don't like octopus. They are usually open when the other stalls aren't.

From all the birria places we visited this was one of the best, nice crispy birria tacos, at a very affordable price. Had to wait a bit because of how busy it was, but worth it

Great little spot near the park. A little off the beaten path if you’re a tourist. Had the burrito with marlin y camarones. Nice golden crisp to the outside. Really tasty!

Great place to catch a quick bite to eat. Staff were super friendly and gave us a free appetizer to start. The food came out quickly and well-prepared, extremely tasty. Highly recommend this place. We had the fish burrito, very very good.

This hole in the wall is a destination worth a special trip! Hands down, they’ve got the best shrimp burrito in Vallarta! I stumbled in last night at 10pm after running at the sport field it borders. The server was this young man who was incredibly attentive and polite and the food blew my mind so I had to return today for lunch! The server today was likewise incredibly attentive and kind. As a medical professional I can’t help but notice that they refrigerate their salsa bottles between visitors and they have a hand washing station I’ve watched my server use twice before I got my order. If you wanna experience the magic of Mexican street food, this is it yall!
