Fairly empty this evening. The place was clean and TVs were blaring sports events. But....What is going on with the food? It's like Covid all over. Prices up. They are skimpy with their sauces and those are essentially flavorless. The meats are good and the tortillas are great but tonight my soft chili relleño itself was delicious but the sauce wasn't good. My beans were yummy but the rice was blah. Our hot wings were very good but $18 for ten wings is pricey. Our talkative and gregarious server Leo has been working there since forever but he sometimes drops the ball and our food sits in the kitchen warming shelf for 5-10 minutes before he brings it around. Gets mushy and cooled off. Why can't runners bring our food? We don't come as often anymore and this is part of the reason. Sorry Vallarta. We are moving to another restaurant. read more

Great spot for big parties but the food is lacking. I came here for a coworkers farewell party. I tried one of their mixed plates with enchilada, chili rellenos, and a taco. The meat lacked flavor and everything came out lukewarm. Probably would only come back for drinks and chips + salsa. read more

This was the second time I came here. My first time wasn't horrible, but it wasn't memorable - but one thing I do remember is the curt service - as if I was a hassle. But it wasn't egregious, so I shrugged it off. However, I returned on Friday at about 3:30pm. I had been in traffic for the past hour, and was starving, and just wanted a really nice meal and a margarita. I sat down at the bar, and received the same curt greeting that I had received the first time. Different bartender. I asked for a margarita, and he just walked away, and 30 seconds later put a drink in front of me. Pre-made margarita obviously. But it hit the spot. I looked over the menu - someone reviewed this place and said the prices were not over the top. I would say they are over the top. Almost everything was $20, including their burritos. OK, I'll be paying some money, so I went with their carne asada salad. If it's good, I don't mind spending $21 on a salad. The description said, "With our special House dressing". So when I went to order, I asked the bartender what the house dressing was? He looked at me like no one had ever asked him to describe their food before, so I pointed at the description and said, "' It says special house dressing' - what is the dressing?" He says, and I swear to God I am quoting him: "I don't know. They make it in the kitchen." Ummmm, what? Ok, I decided he wasn't going to affect my calm demeanor. I had been driving an hour in traffic - not gonna be upset by this obvious BS of an answer. I ordered this $21 salad. This is where I start really getting upset. Out it comes, (please see the pics) - and I could smell the steak before it got in front of me. It was burnt on the outside, and I could tell it had been sitting around. Are you Fing kidding me? The "special dressing" was non-descript, so I put a cucumber in it (the mildest thing I could find), and discovered why it was non-descript. It tasted like they took canned chopped tomatoes and cottage cheese and blended it together. I asked for another dressing, and told him it had no flavor. He said nothing and walked away. At this point, a manager had come out in a yellow shirt and was HEEEY HOOOO-ing to all the regulars. I was ignored. But the bartender DID have the manager bring me the new dressing, and he put it down in front of me while half way walking away. No one asked me how anything was. It was as if I did not exist. My bill came - I had 2 HH margaritas and this crap on a plate, that was burnt with iceberg lettuce (iceberg?? on a $21 salad?? - how do you come up with your ridiculous prices??) and some dressing they threw together 3 minutes before putting it before me. My bill was $42. Just for me. $42 for an over-priced burnt sad excuse for a salad. I am convinced they cater to their regulars, don't give a crap about a newcomer, and they gave me crap that had been sitting there and they didn't want to waste food. I have never, and I do mean NEVER not tipped - but I wrote in the tip line: See my Yelp review. Thanks for letting me know I am not welcome here." So, here is my Yelp review, Casa de Vallarta. I live close by, and you could have had a regular. But I am STILL fuming over an inedible salad, and spending $42 for 1 1/2 margaritas (I didn't even finish the second one I was so repulsed by the food and the treatment. read more

We had a great time at Casa Vallarta! It's been years since we've come to Casa Vallarta and I'm glad that we tried it again! Our quality was absolutely huge! We had dinner for two days with the portions that's we were given. The food was also very good! I had the chicken with rice and it was very good. I was also offered tortillas with my meal which was a great choice. Our service was great. While we chose inside to sit there is a huge patio that you can sit at if you'd like. The only downside of my experience was that the margaritas tasted somewhat from a premix but they were still good. Great experience overall! read more

Decent neighborhood spot for mexican cuisine. We have visited a couple of times. The food is average- not the best ive ever had. Service is okay. Food comes out really fast. This past time we really enjoyed the enchiladas. read more

Thought I should broaden my horizons on the Mexican food front, and stopped at Casa Vallarta. This place has a lot to offer! Their restaurant is large and airy with a tequila bar attached. They also have a nice covered patio to sit at. Their staff greet you with a warm smile and offer excellent suggestions. I had their #21, carne asada. It came straight off the grill, with the marbled fat cooked perfectly into the meat, making it warm and juicy. Their beans and rice were very tasty. I also have a thing for tamales, and have to try an a la carte everywhere I go. This tamal was perfect. Great beef to masa ratio and the flavor delectable. My husband had the #22 El Patron, which has the above carne asada plus bacon wrapped shrimp. He loved the sauce on the shrimp and thought the meat was very flavorful. Last but not least, I ordered their skinny marg and it was well made. No artificial flavor at all! To end the meal we were treated, for free, a sopapilla! This was the most excellent surprise for this girl. I can never turn down a sweet treat! I'm glad we decided to finally stop and try a place we have driven by often. When in the area, we won't be driving by anymore!! I also think this will be my go to place to pick up tamales for Christmas!! read more

Based on the positive reviews I decided to give it a shot to this place, but it really disappointed me. First because the whole restaurant has a fishy stinky smell all over the place, second the salt and pepper shakes were dirty and sticky, third the food was terrible! It was Tasteless and sloppy. However, our waiter was very friendly and attentive all the time that's why the two stars. I won't come back again because the food was not good at all. read more

It's a very large and inviting restaurant. The service was good. The food was ok, the salsa was spicy. I didn't care for the refried beans and the ground beef had an odd flavor. The house marg was extremely sweet. The prices were fair. Not the best food but I've had worse. The chips were stale. read more

While visiting Denver, I came here with some friends for lunch and drinks. The sangria was probably the highlight! The chips and guacamole were very tasty, but the queso was a bit thick and cold. I ordered the chimichanga, which can be subjective from place to place, so I'm flexible. Not the best, not the worst. Overall, though, the food is delicious. The one food item that really stuck out the most was the taquitos. I don't recommend the rice and beans. Unfortunately, this should be pretty easy for a Mexican joint, but they were flavorless and the beans were undercooked. The ambience is nice, and outdoor seating was really lovely. Bathrooms were super clean. Overall, I really liked the place and would come back. Maybe just try something else other than rice and beans! read more

The restaurant was very ready for large parties. Our table server was very steadily checking if anyone needed anything. I ordered original carnitas plate with the meat extra well done, beans rice & fresh thin warm corn chips & homemade salsa. It rocked very well. Alcoholic beverages & soft drinks were right on point. Bill was market price considering we had 8 adults & 1 toddler. Everyone who had left overs were given ample to go platters & bags. Restrooms & dining room was cleaned constantly & maintained. They also have a full bar. Staff was very attentive specially. Parking is ample & convenient. read more

This food was overpriced and undercooked. Tasteless and poor hygiene from the staff! Thought it would have a better environment but was only seating people in the middle of the restaurant by the bar. read more

Located on a corner lot, this place offers a spacious and welcoming atmosphere! From the friendly staff to the quick service, we loved our experience here. Huge menu with various options to choose from, there should be something for everyone you're with. I ordered the Enchilada, taco, tostada combination platter with chicken as my protein and my fiancé ordered the molchjete. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious! The overall noise level wasnt loud which we appreciated for a chill dinner out. We would definitely be back! read more

This place is a good staple in the neighborhood. I have had amazing meals and meh meals but overall not usually disappointed. We tend to sit at the bar and the service is good there. The service in the dining area has been hit or miss mostly depends on how busy they are. The place can get packed. You can usually tell if there are any parking spots nearby. My favorite item to get is the chicken fajitas. They usually load them up with yummy bell peppers and onions. I also love their chips and salsa. They have a regular red salsa but then they also have something somewhat similar to pico de gallo but it has cabbage and other stuff in it. I have never seen anything like that served anywhere else. During Broncos games they usually has a build your own taco bar and delicious chicken wings. They are based on how many drinks you buy, but typically a good deal to grab some free food to go with your margaritas. read more

We went here based on an article of best tacos in Denver but this was not good. The tacos al carbon had good steak inside but a sauce on top that made the tortilla soggy. The green chile was okay. When I was putting our food in the to go boxes, there was a hair on the plate. So I was done. Kinda smelled like disinfectant. Icky read more

We went there last Saturday for lunch. On weekends there is no lunch menu. We ordered steak and shrimp fajitas for 2. The service was food and the margarita was good. When the food came out I was surprised, times have changed. There were 8 nice sized shrimp, peppers, onions, lots of mushrooms to cover up the WHERE's THE BEEF? Maybe 4-5 small strips of beef. Not even 6 oz. Disappointing. They did have all the fixings and the tortillas were hot. read more

We visit Casa Vallarta weekly. Absolutely love this place. The food is good, an abundance of options, and it's served fast. Margaritas are fantastic. The service and staff are the best. Never have to wait to be seated. Highly recommend! read more

My husband and I LOVE this place! We have been coming here since we moved here from NM in 2001, as their style of Mexican food is the closest to what my mother-in-law makes and the Mexican food in NM in general. Even the decor has that NM vibe. The staff are amazing, service is fast, and the margaritas are the best around(I particularly love the Coronarita)!! Not only is the dining room huge, but there is a large outdoor patio and a large bar area with many flat screen TVs, perfect for watching the Broncos play! Absolutely recommend!! read more
