Taking place at the Puerto de Luna Hotel from 2pm to 10pm, this festival on April 15th and 16th offers a perfect opportunity to indulge in a variety of delicious tacos while staying in the Romantic Zone luxury accommodations in Puerto Vallarta.
The exact origin of the taco remains unknown, but its name can be traced back to the 18th century when Mexican miners referred to a small charge of gunpowder wrapped in paper as a “taco.” Today, biting into a taco filled with hot sauce can certainly feel like a flavorful explosion in your mouth.
While the name “taco” may have originated in 18th century Mexico, it is likely that tacos have been a part of Mexican culinary tradition for much longer. The Aztecs, who revered maize (corn), used it to create tortillas, tamales, and other corn-based dishes. Wrapping food in a tortilla was a genius idea that has stood the test of time.
Puerto Vallarta’s Festival del Taco celebrates the deliciousness of tacos and offers a chance to sample a variety of tacos from the city’s taquerias while immersing yourself in Mexican culture.
