Loved this place! I feel like it's a hidden gem, in a quiet part of town, with nice airy seating and kind and friendly staff. We visited twice during our week long stay, and are sending all our friends when they're in town. The salsas are (insert chef's kiss), the pork nice and crispy, and the tortillas fresh. Definitely looking forward to our next trip. I wish I had better pictures, but we were too busy eating!

Oh My Gosh!!! One of the best pork tacos I’ve ever eaten. The crispy pork belly is so smooth and tasty and the cheese on the pork belly quesadilla is rich and flavorful. And those homemade blue corn tortillas. Wow!!! The oat water was perfect to wash it all down.

Pork belly tacos for breakfast! What a way to start the day. Crunchy, juicy flavourful tacos with blue corn tortillas. Wow!! I will be coming back here for more breakfast. It was delicious. The staff were friendly, the tacos were 25 Mexican Pesos and great value!

This has become one of my favorite lunch spots! The new digs are bright and spacious, and everything is clean and organized. The pork belly tacos are outstanding, and service is prompt, though at times it takes a while to get your bill at the end when they are busy.

Owned by Chef Joel Ornelas of Tintoque and La Lena El Puerco de Oro opened mid-pandemic, and serving guests “Desde el Tiempo de Covid” the Versalles space has made a name for itself with Pork Belly Tacos. A native of Puerto Vallarta, skills refined at Cafe des Artistes before time abroad, it is inside an open-air space that diners pick from a concise list of Proteins packed onto housemade Blue Corn Tortillas. Friendly in terms of service, Tacos 28-33 Pesos and jumbo Quesadillas 70-80, Agua Frescas include Horchata made with Oat Milk while a selection of Mexican Beers match well to Belly that is crunchy over juicy flesh or bits of crispy Skin intermixed with gooey Cheese and Salsa.
