Tequilería

Duty-free tequila shop sits past security in PVR

Tequilería sits airside at Puerto Vallarta International Airport after security, serving passengers in terminals A and B with shelves of local spirits. You’ll see rows of Jalisco tequila bottles in 750 ml and 1 L sizes, plus a smaller section of mezcal and tequila-based liqueurs. Staff usually offer tiny tasting pours of a few mid-range brands, especially in late morning and early afternoon when traffic is lighter.

Pricing runs from roughly $18–$25 USD for basic blanco bottles up to $80–$120 USD for premium extra añejo in decorative glass. Expect recognizable labels like Don Julio and Herradura alongside regional names you probably won’t see at home. Most signs show prices in pesos and dollars, and they’ll happily ring you up either way. If you’re flying to the U.S. or Canada, ask about duty-free limits at the counter before you tap your card.

The shop keeps airport-style hours, typically opening for the first wave of departures around 6:00 am and staying open until the last evening flights push out after 9:00 pm. Selection is heaviest earlier in the day; late-night shoppers sometimes find popular mid-tier reposados sold down to a few bottles. Credit cards from major issuers (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) usually run without issue here, even when your bank sometimes flags smaller stalls in town.

Practical tip: snap a photo of the label and price tag in pesos before you pay so you can sanity-check the exchange rate on your card statement once you land.
