When you are in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle be sure to go for some tacos at the Taqueria “Los Amigos,” located in front of the main plaza. The tacos are really good and the prices are reasonable. Tacos cost $9.00 pesos each. Sodas cost $10 pesos. We ate really well and our bill came to $75 pesos which is about $7.50 US.
We are ordered carne asada tacos, al pastor tacos, arrechera tacos, and a volcan (Volcano) which is melted cheese, meat, and beans on top of a crispy tortilla.
Taqueria “Los Amigos” is a typical taco stand, small and unassuming. For some unknown reason, the fancier a taco place is the worse the tacos are. It’s as if they wasted the flavor on decor.
Salsa is a critical ingredient to any good taco. My wife is a green salsa person. I’m a red salsa person. Green or red is always a heated debate when discussing tacos.
Nothing satisfies like a good taco. Tacos should be small and full of flavor not jumbo sized and sloppy like you find back home.
After you finish your tacos you can buy some candy or elote desgranado (corn kernals in a cup) from the vendor next door.

lol… no chance.
The best tacos in La Cruz BY FAR are Tacos on the Street located on Huachinango Street.
They’re absolutely delicious, a simple menu with rib-eye meat used in the tacos themselves, a courteous staff and a fantastic ambience. They don’t serve alcohol, but you can bring your own!
Oh, and be sure to leave room for Flan, their delicious dessert.
They’re open Wed, Thu, Sat and Sun from 5 PM to 11 PM. Remember, if you’re coming from Puerto Vallarta, you’re one hour ahead of the time in Nayarit! So 5 PM in Vallarta is 4 PM in La Cruz and so on…
That taco stand is no longer in operation.
