| - I read a few reviews about this place before, and they were mixed, let me shed some light. I lived in Houston TX for nearly 3 years, and being a Latino myself I was a frequent patron on all nearby Mexican restaurants. The food is simply great. It has that home made flavour that you cannot find on Taco Bell, or even on that fashionista mexican restaurant in downtown. Food is fresh, tasty, and the cook and owner are Mexican... so they know their stuff. In another review I read a guy complaining about the red sauce. Well, this is not your typical Mexican red sauce from Old El Paso, this is a Chile de Arbol Salsa, honestly, I've never tried it before and it was shocking when I tasted it, as I was expecting the regular bland red salsa. But once I learned it was a different salsa, I gave it a second try and I loved it. It has an aged, strong flavour that will make you think of tequila or vodka. Better if you have it with the food, as will be very dominant with tortillas alone. My partner ordered Tacos Dorados (chicken) and she was in love with them (and she is very hard to impress). I ordered Tacos de Costilla (beef) and although the presentation wasn't great, I'm still craving them the day after. Yes, the portions are a bit small, yes, there are kids jumping around, yes, the presentation is not very elaborated, but what the heck... it doesn't get more authentic mexican than this. Even if you go to mexico every 2 months, don't think that the food they serve over there is authentic.... is just tourist approved. Tacos Puerto Vallarta is probably the best authentic mexican food I've tasted in the last 10 years.
