Tacos Break, nestled on the top floor terrace of the Plaza in Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta, captures the essence of authentic Mexican cuisine. This small outdoor taco haven shines primarily for its fresh offerings at wallet-friendly prices, making it a favorite among resort-goers. Customers rave about the delicious Al Pastor, expertly sliced and served hot, while the quesadillas and guacamole receive high praise for their flavor and quality. The charming ambiance, adorned with twinkling lights and live music, enhances the dining experience, although the popularity often leads to bustling dinner crowds and occasionally frazzled service. While some diners have noted less-than-ideal interactions with staff and confusing entry points, the overall consensus is that Tacos Break's authentic taste makes the occasional wait worthwhile. One standout aspect is the gluten-free menu, with special dishes crafted for those with dietary needs, reflecting the restaurant's commitment to customer care. Though the ice cream options fall short of expectations, the real highlights are undeniably the hearty tacos and burritos that keep guests returning during their stay. For anyone seeking vibrant flavors and a casual dining atmosphere, Tacos Break is a must-visit destination on your culinary journey through Nuevo Vallarta.

Of all the restaurants on the resort at Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta, this was my favourite for food and price. Authentic Mexican food with the best prices! The restaurant is outside on the top floor on the outside terrace and it's super cute with hanging lights and stars, vendor carts, live music, and a beautiful view. We love the quesadillas and the guacamole . Note: I wouldn't suggest the ice cream. It's one tiny puny scoop! The only thing is that this place is so busy and popular during dinner times that the staff are clearly frazzled and occupied most of the time so you don't get that personal service and the host can be a little rude (like 3/5 times we were there he wasn't the nicest). If you go early it's best, not as busy. Also when it's your first time and you arrive, you're not sure where the hosts are because there is not greeting table and the restaurant spans across the entire terrace so you're not even sure where to stand and wait. Therefore lots of people awkwardly standing in the center of the room waiting for someone to approach them.

We absolutely loved Tacos Break. It is a small outdoors taco shop. They do basic Mexican food. Tacos, Burritos, Fajitas, and you get the picture. They had great Al Pastor on the big vertical spit. They sliced it off and fried it up a little more and served it. Everyone was getting some. Food is the freshest and least expensive out of everywhere else on the resort. It was great. I talked to others eating here and people said that they make a point of eating at this place a few times during the week.

This restaurant is located at the Plaza, inside of Vidanta, Nuevo Vallarta. So if your not a guest, you probably won't be able to enjoy eating here. Never the less, this open air restaurant is on the third floor of the Plaza. Depending on the weather will determine how the atmosphere will feel to you. The food is quite good. The ice cream is called Barrel Ice Cream, which means it's handmade, onsite.

I'm gluten free and our server was 10/10 careful for me. He even advised me the seasoning on all the meats have gluten and had mushroom tacos made special. Definitely the best thing I've had here especially when paired with the melted cheese!

Love this place! Of all the places to eat on the resort, this my favourite. Why? The food is fresh, and the prices are fair - so many other places on the resort have ridiculous prices, but the prices at Tacos Break are affordable. The food is truly delicious and excellent - except the desserts. Other than the churros, the rest of the desserts are quite bland. But all the tacos, burritos, etc. are just fantastic.

One of the simplest restaurants at Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta, but probably the best one. Amazing authentic tacos, unpretentious place, outdoor seating with a view, great selection of other Mexican dishes. It was not easy to find since you need to take the elevator up and walk past the shops, but we're glad we did, it's the only place we visited twice during our stay (aside from our building restaurant for breakfast). Very kid friendly too. Also easily wheelchair accessible since my daughter had fractured her ankle and we had to wheel her around. Highly recommended spot!

Best lunch restaurant in Vidanta. Literally the only place where you can find decent vegetarian lunch options by the pool. The poblano chili peppers made a great filling for the quesadilla and tacos. However, it is outdoor so be prepared if it’s hot outside. The agua Frescas were refreshing.

Best food at Vidanta. Let me clarify... Tacos Break is hands down the best food we ate while at Vidanta for our 7 day stay. We ate here at least once a day. The other food was amazing. But damn! This place hit the spot every time. Do yourself a favor and order every aqua Fresca they have available, order the guacamole, and order the alambres el pastor with cheese. You’re welcome. Liz, Lula, and Adan. Your service was amazing!
