For those in the know, a stop at El Tacon de Marlin upon landing in Puerto Vallarta is obligatory. Partly, that’s because it’s convenient to the airport, but mostly that’s because it is justifiably famous for its plump burritos, overstuffed with marlin and shrimp or octopus and shrimp. Fine dining it isn’t—at least not of the white tablecloth variety—but anyone who has eaten at El Tacon de Marlin once usually comes back each visit to Vallarta because the burritos are just that good.
