Don Chava Taqueria Cantina is the latest culinary venture from the owners of the well-known Tre Piatti restaurant, offering a modern twist on traditional tacos. Located in the vibrant heart of Puerto Vallarta’s Old Town, Don Chava has quickly become a popular spot for both locals and visitors looking for a casual dining experience.
The cozy restaurant is adorned with two colorful wall murals showcasing traditional Mexican art, tables crafted from local wood by Vallarta artisans, and big screen televisions for watching international sports events. The focal point of the restaurant is a custom-made bar and cook station, where the talented chefs at Don Chava prepare a variety of mouthwatering tacos including tacos al pastor (rotisserie pork), asada (rib eye), chuleta (pork chop), and milanesa de pollo (breaded chicken). In addition to tacos, Don Chava also offers quesadillas and volcans, a cheesier twist on traditional tacos. Be sure to complement your meal with their house-made salsas, guacamole, and the delectable chocolate flan made fresh daily.
To enhance your taco experience, Don Chava offers a selection of custom-crafted margaritas made with Tequila or Mezcal, along with Mexican beer, wine, and refreshing aguas frescas made with locally sourced fruits.
Don Chava welcomes guests from Wednesday to Monday, opening its doors from 5:30pm to 1:30am. You can find this culinary gem at Lazaro Cardenas 288 in Colonia Emiliano Zapata, making it a top choice for a fun and innovative take on traditional Mexican street food in Puerto Vallarta.
