Amazing! That is the only word that sums up this place. After landing into Puerto Vallarta Airport, I walked across the street to hail a cab to take me to my hotel. I asked him where should I go to get a fish taco....he said hands down you must go to Tacon de Marlin. He was right! Hot and fresh... More

Better than eating at the airport... check in your bags and cross over the bridge. Great Tortas and so much better and cheaper than the airport.

This place has the best burritos - bacon wrapped shrimp and marlin burritos are ridiculously yummy with their home made spicy sauce varieties and mayonnaise. However, as much as I want to give this place 5 stars, I can't. 3 out of 4 of us ended up upset stomach's on a our flight back home.

I found the food heavy and greasy, the tables were not clean and the sauces were not very fresh. I did end up with a bit of an upset stomach afterwards. There are lots of better places to have burritos in PV.

This place has historically been either my first or last meal in PV. When leaving PV get to the airport early to check in and then walk across the street for an amazing meal before getting on your plane fat and happy. The smoked marlin is crazy good as are the mixed seafood combo and the shrimp. Don't miss out.... More

A tacon is not seen often. From what I figure it is a type of burrito, fried so the exterior is crisp and loaded inside with your choice of seafood here. Smoked marlin is what is is known for. Pictures of successful fishing trips from years past adorn the walls. Octopus or shrimp are also offered and the shellfish is... More

Even with very little time to spare, my brother and I decided to leave the airport and try one of these burritos instead of the less interesting fare within the airport. Glad we did! Very good burritos at a good price. Smoked Marlin was great. We love our burritos and these stand right there with the better places in Sayulita,... More

It's definitely not upscale or fancy by any means, but these were by far the best tacos we had in all of PV. For the price, the portions are huge!
