Vallarta

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver was unloading boxes of tortillas when he noticed something strange: every fifth box had an extra taco inside. Word quickly spread among customers, who began checking their purchases with eager anticipation. As days went by, more and more people started coming specifically for those lucky fifth boxes. One day, a regular asked the manager if they could buy just one extra-turkey taco-box without any tortillas. The manager shrugged and said, 'Why not?' Turns out it was all just a funny mistake, but Vallarta became famous for its ‘special’ tacos—delivered right to your kitchen counter.

2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, an early bird shopper heard a strange sound coming from the Vallarta aisles. Curious, she followed the noise and found a delivery driver humming softly as he stocked the shelves with bananas. Turns out, his morning routine included singing along to old radio hits while working. By the time other customers arrived, everyone had a smile on their faces—even if some bananas were slightly off-key.

3. In the dead of night, when only the moonlight illuminated Vallarta’s aisles, a security guard swore he saw a shadowy figure pushing a shopping cart filled with nothing but avocados. Curious, the guard followed the ghostly figure until it stopped near the produce section. To his surprise, an old neighbor emerged from behind the bananas, muttering, ‘Just needed some extra guacamole ingredients for tonight’s party.’

4. At dusk, while loading groceries into his car, a neighbor swore he saw a shadowy figure darting between the shelves. Curious, our neighbor decided to stay and watch. Soon, another shopper noticed the movement too—and before they knew it, half the store was gathered around, pointing fingers and whispering. Turns out, it was just an overexcited squirrel scavenging for nuts. Everyone laughed, and from then on, Vallarta became known as the place where supermarkets meet wildlife.
