Arturo's

Arturo's | Howe & Cordova

Arturo's is a Mexican food truck that is really close to my office. I'll start off by saying that I wouldn't likely eat here if it wasn't so close. I much prefer the fare over at La Taqueria but Arturo's does the job when I'm jonesin' for Mexican and don't have much time.

I would not consider Arturo's authentic Mexican - it's more of a Tex-Mex/Californian style Mexican. They have a fairly large menu but everything pretty much tastes the same! I usually order the "Calle Trio" which is 3 tacos. You can get beef, chicken and pork. It's a very generous portion and comes with rice and beans. I can't typically finish it all.

If you're into spicy food ask for it hot...their hot sauce is no joke. You have been warned.

La Taqueria

La Taqueria |  322 W. Hastings

Any day with tacos is a good day and today was one of em! I had a craving for tacos on Friday but the line up was huge. Luckily for me, today was much quieter. La Taqueria is easily one of my favourite lunch spots down town. They have 12 tacos to choose from plus a daily special. I usually go with something of the beef or pork variety but they have excellent fish, chicken & veggie options available. 4 meat tacos will run you $10 all in. I've eaten a lot of street tacos in Puerto Vallarta and these stack up against the best. A must try.
