Feel and breath a different vibe here in Downtown Pitillal. This is not your typical touristy Puerto Vallarta, rather a small neighborhood where the hustle and bustle starts before 6 in the morning. There is amazing homemade cooking often missed by visitors. Pitillal is a working class neighborhood that bursts into life before 6am. . Saturday night is the busiest for local families that come to the square looking to have a good time. There are street performers, food, music, and the occasional special event that sets this area apart from the touristy Zona Romántica. . Small produce shops, and shops in general abound here. Old printing press machines from over 50 years ago are still used here. Watch hat makers, piñata artisans.

Today our group of five went on a tour with ChaCha and had an AMAZING time. This is a tour of the spots the locals eat at before and after work in Pitillal. The tour started off with fresh tamales and champurrado, chilaquiles and beans and Jamaica drink. This first stop allowed us much time to sit and chat with ChaCha and learn about the history of food. We were presented with enough food to be a whole breakfast at just this stop! Then we walked to a lonchería and shared two tortas and an aqua Fresca. Again — great food and fun to watch the food being prepared. Third stop was carnitas with fresh tortillas. Then off two doors down for birria — both traditional beef and goat with a flavorful dipping broth. Each stop brought stories about the food and time to ask any question that we had. And we had ALOT! ChaCha is a wealth of information about history, culture and the city. ChaCha was conscientious that we had two of our group that had mobility issues and took us at a speed that worked for all. If you are looking for a food tour or just want a more in depth view of where the locals live and interact — this is for sure the one to choose. We will be recommending it to anyone who is looking for a taco or food tour. I will definitely look at choosing another Vallarta Local tour on our next trip. Thank you!!

Cha Cha our guide was so warm, personable, and accommodating. They were very knowledgeable and passionate about the area, culture, and food. We got to try a variety of different authentic food that we wouldn't have tried on our own. We loved having the chance to walk around absorbing the energy of the neighborhood. Don't eat anything before hand because you will be full for sure! Make sure you stress which church to go for the meet up because our taxi driver took us to a different one thinking we made a mistake.

Star, thank you for giving us a taste of local culture. Off the beaten path was like a breath of fresh air in area not saturated by tourist. Star share some amazing food while giving us a history of the food and how it came to be in current times. My favorite was tasting a 100% corn tortilla fresh out of the factory. No wait, maybe it was the carnitas tacos. It’s to hard to choose a favorite, but it was 100% worth it.

My husband and I had the most wonderful experience with Vallarta Local during our honeymoon in PV. We did both the brunch and dinner off the beaten path tours (on separate days), and while they were in the same neighborhood, they were both unique, delicious experiences. We loved being in an area of the city that was less touristy and getting a truly authentic taste of how the locals eat. We were also enthralled by all that we learned about the regional cuisine and how the locals typically shop and cook. Each tour was the perfect amount of time and food both. We left full but not overly stuffed. The price is more than worth it for what you get food and experience-wise, and knowing that the company’s values mirror ours made our choice a no-brainer. Given that we were there during the low season, our brunch tour was basically a personal one, and our dinner tour was with one other couple (and it was fun to have the company!) Therefore, I can’t speak to a high season experience, but imagine that others add to the energy and experience in a positive way. If you’re looking for an engaging, memorable food tour experience in PV, Vallarta Local is the company to deliver it!

We had a wonderful time!! Couldn't have asked for more. Star was amazing! Not only will you get to experience local foods but local culture and history as well. She is extremely knowledgeable on the history of the area as well as the history of traditional Mexican food and how it has been preserved over time. We have done three other such tours in the area over the past four years and this one was our favorite! Star is very personable and we felt like we'd made a friend by the end of our tour. 10/10 recommend!!!

This was our second tour with Vallarta Local Food Tours. Star and Cha Cha are awesome. We've eaten delicious food and learned a lot about PV and Pitallal on their friendly and relaxed tours. We will keep coming back. Our 9 year old also loves the tours.
