Taqueria De Birria El Banquito

The smell of slow-cooked beef stew hits the sidewalk long before the stall comes into view. Taqueria De Birria El Banquito occupies a modest patch of pavement, defined by a simple metal cart and a handful of small stools. While many restaurants in Puerto Vallarta cater to the crowds along the boardwalk, this spot specializes in Jalisco-style birria, simmered for hours until the meat falls apart. Locals line up here for bowls of consome and tacos dipped in the rendered fat.
