Off RT 1 drag . Plenty of parking. As we walked in , it was a nice feel , almost felt we were in Mexico . Walls full of color and the friendly staff greets you !!! I got to say this place is full of color full of fast service and good food !!!! As we got seated the give you chips, salsa and refried beans. Got the white burrito and my wife got the white chimichanga, both excellent!!! The service was fast and the waitress was great ! Large portions , you won't be disappointed! Drinks are good here as well !! 5 starts cause they were fast, friendly and on point!!! read more

The portions are generous and hit the spot for comfort food. Some items we ordered were surprisingly pricey but would probably order differently next time. We were here on a Friday evening and they had a live DJ playing music and lifting up the energy of the place. Seems like a fun start of the night. For food, the nachos were my favorite but the drinks were not that great. We had fun chatting here with friends and the service was friendly so we didn't feel pressure to rush out. read more

I visited last week with my sister for a quick lunch on Sunday. We've dined here many times over the years and have consistently had positive experiences! My 3 star review is due to the fact that gratuity was automatically added to our bill. In all the years I've been coming here, I've never had this happen before, especially on a bill of around $60 for a party of two. I feel this should be clearly disclosed to guests. As someone who has worked in the service industry, we were always told to communicate when gratuity has been added, as failing to do so can come across as misleading and may result in customers unintentionally tipping twice. I don't necessarily take issue with gratuity itself, but transparency and clear communication are important parts of good service. read more

The Restaurant was your usually Mexican restaurant nice place with tables and chairs and a very nice bar music playing in the background. Sat at the bar and had the best Margarita ever the service was fantastic . Got chicken quesadilla yummy the tacos were also very good but the margarita is just the best read more

I used to like eating here because the food was fine reasonably priced, and the service is usually good, but now they've raised their prices considerably, and on top of that, they have adopted the policy of adding 20% tip to the bill, regardless of the number of people (in this case it was only two people) without disclosing beforehand that the gratuity is included in the bill. Even though this is considered legal, it is a tricky practice, especially if it is not disclosed, because the customer may not realize it, and add more gratuity to the bill at the time of paying. Additionally, they are already establishing how much you tip, regardless of your level of satisfaction. For me this is a reason not to return, even though I would have tipped at least that much. read more

This place used to be our go to but last few times the food and the portions weren't up to the standards they had in the past. We stopped going for a while but got some takeout since we were going to an ice cream place in that mall. I don't know what's going on but my wife wouldn't finish her 3 taco order and my go to entree protein portion was laughable for a $22 pork dish and at best was 1/3 of what it used to be when it was a cheaper price. I get inflation but when you order pork carnitas...how about you give people that. Only giving them two starts because the people are very nice and maybe it was an off night but we won't be going back. Good luck to others tho. read more

Hadn't been there in a while used to be very good. I knew it changed hands a few times. My friend and I went there the other night because they were open until 10 o'clock . No one was in there when we got there. One woman seemed to be doing everything serving food, making drinks, etc. we ordered a couple of margaritas and then our food. The margaritas are mediocre at best... terrible sour mix cheap tequila and a small Grand Mariner nip attached. Food was decent large portions but expensive when we asked for the bill we were mortified my food cost less than my margarita!!! The margaritas were $20 a piece with terrible sour mix totally not worth it when I asked the server in regards to the pricing she acted as if she didn't know anything about it and said that they had just changed the menu again and raised the prices I will never go back again!!! TOTALLY NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!! read more

If I could give give this place 0 stars I would. It is one of the latest places open on Route 1, however that doesn't mean that's a good thing. I used to go to this place years ago and it was always packed. I went with my friend this time and the place was empty, we got drinks, the alcohol menu had no prices on it. The food was so so, nothing exciting, nothing bad but very expensive. Portions were large but not large enough to justify the cost. The Fajitas were big enough to serve two people, the Margaritas were twenty dollars each which was more than any food item on the menu, when the waitress was asked about the alcohol prices she said that the menu changed and the prices were raised. When we walked in the exterior looked exactly the same as it did 10 years ago however the lights were up so bright it was almost shocking when you walked in. One Fajita, a Quesadilla, and three Margaritas with house tequila was over $100. With absolutely no extras or anything. If you wanted to add a side of queso to go with the chips they give you to start it's an extra $10. Will not be back. read more

This was a typical family-friendly Mexican restaurant that offered great food and wonderful service. The quesadillas were literally the size of dinner plates and were so flavorful! Everything was reasonably priced. The only downside to our experience was the private party happening in the restaurant -- the group itself was fine, but the live band that played throughout the entirety of our stay was extremely loud. Even our waiter had a difficult time communicating with us over the loud trumpets and singing. Had the overall volume of the band been a bit quieter, it would have been rather enjoyable. Overall, still a good experience and I'd recommend checking it out if in the area and craving flavorful Mexican food. read more

This was one of the worst meals we've had in a while. They have a relatively large menu and photos of every item, which they may want to rethink as my meal didn't even remotely look like the photo (lol). They serve you salsa and chips and a bean dip to start. The salsa was flavorless. We decided to start with some queso. That was also flavorless and literally only had cheese. The picture showed some jalapeños and spices. We were disappointed. My husband got the California chicken quesadilla and it was extremely greasy. His stomach started to hurt as soon as we left from all the excess grease. I got the enchiladas suizas. The plate was extremely hot while the food on the plate was nearly ice cold. There was barely any tomatillo sauce on top and zero cotija cheese as described in the menu; just shredded cheese. The rice was extremely bland, dry, and tasted old. We will never come back. read more

Casa Vallarta - Mexican Near Me - Saugus, Massachusetts

I love casa vallarta in Saugus on rt1. we always had consistent experience here. This very comfort and authentic mexican rather than something different and exceptional. The choice of the drink for me Michelada with Corona. Absolutely amazing drink topped with couple Tajin spiced Shrimp. Bit salty for sure the drink but worth it once in a while . The chips , salsa, hot sauce and bean dip have always been to the Point and they always being plenty when asked for more without any issues. For food we always have nachos , chicken fajitas, chicken street tacos, Veg burritos most of the time and it has always been good , homely and comfort style of taste. The quantity they dont skip. one thing they did last time and i am taking that as one time off mistake was when i asked for extra jalapeno and they gave me one whole jalapeno and charges like $3 for it when it used to come with 3-4 all the time. charging extra for Jalapeno and that too $3 is not acceptable and hence cutting 1 star . Overall i like the place but if they are going to start nickle diming everything then we will stop going there unfortunately so hoping they dont do that. read more

Food is delicious, but what you get for takeout is somewhat of a toss up. See photo from menu vs. what I opened at home. We've ordered here a lot. Last time we got home and had something totally different from what we ordered. Service is bonkers. read more

We have been going here for years and it is the best. Food, atmosphere and waitstaff continues to be great.

First of all, the picture of the pork meatball soup in the menu is three times SMALLER than the lovely soup that comes out. It's your dinner. Everything is delicious. Don't know what the low star reviews are all about, my lady and I are having a great time. Huge margarita, crisp puerco Adonai, fantastic fajitas. Highly recommended. read more

Casa Vallarta - Seafood Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Saugus, Massachusetts

Casa Vallarta gets 2 stars. The salsa alone would be one star. I was really disappointed that it did not taste fresh. The steak was definitely underwhelming. It lacked flavor. The soup was tasty but not enough to tip the rating. There are so many tacquerias and Mexican restaurants that provide a tastier experience. The presentation of food was good, but the mouse that passed by me was a deal breaker. I was out!!! Yes, we live in the city but they have to have better pest control. No bueño. read more

The ambiance was very nice and authentic with great Mexican oldies playing. The service was fast and attentive. We had a great experience the meals we had matched the pictures in the menu! read more

First time here , what the heck was I waiting for ?! The plates are HUGE here first of all. The staff was very accommodating for our party of 8 as we were celebrating a graduation so thank you to our server who was polite and attentive. We were started off with complimentary chips , salsa and refried beans! Yum. I wanted everything the menu had to offer but chose to go with the crispy taquitos , so yummy and perfect portion. I did get to try a piece of carne asada which was juicy and flavorful. Next time I come back , I do want to try their Jalisco tacos , can't wait ! read more

Their Carne Azada is deliciou, no photo taken but great food service over all is also good.

The food is amazing and the service was very very fast and top notch. It was authentic Mexican food hot and portions are big.

They need to use the air conditioning ! It was too hot to enjoy the good food ! They also messed up and tried to serve my soup after bringing my main course. Sent it back .Won't be back until October when it's cooler. read more

Food was very fresh and yummy. Their salsa and chips are great. I had chicken and shrimp fajitas. Sometimes I find fajitas very salty and there were not at all. Amount of seasoning and cook on the veggies was on point for me (I like mine still with some crunch). I'm also picky about how shrimp are cooked and these were perfect - snappy! Service was quick and friendly. It is right off rt 1 so recommend stopping by for a quick bite if you are going by. I got a non-alcoholic margarita which I thought it was cool they offered that in several flavors. However, mine was way too sweet and it was quite expensive but this is really my only criticism I can think of! read more

The food at this place was better than many of the other Mexican restaurants I've gone to, but it was pretty pricey. My girlfriend and I got two plates and guacamole for $60. Our server and all other servers were constantly on their phone which was kind of odd and it made our stay way longer than anticipated. I'm giving the 3 stars for the slow service, not very clean atmosphere and high prices. Also I walked around to go to the bathroom and saw 3,4 employees sitting in booths on their phone (which they could have been on break idk?) but when I walked in the bathroom, the door was blocked and I had to shuffle in to it because another worker was on their phone just standing there. read more

Casa Vallarta - Veggie Platter, Macho Burrito, Guacamole Dip - Mexican Near Me - Saugus, Massachusetts

Let me start off by saying what a terrible friggin experience. This place will make you skin do jumping jacks ! After a busy working holiday season, i finally had a day off, and needed to get some mexican in me. So we stopped at border cafe but they were closed, so we needed to Yam over to Casa Vallartes . They didnt have patron, didnt have don julio, so i settled on the third type of tequila i was looking for. Let me just say that, when that marg finally got to my table, that thing was COYOTE UGLY ! It tasted like sewage water combined with baby poop in a blender. All blended up . Also, my buddys marg had left aftertaste of old onions. DONT get the margs here. Then, the food comes - and its just a BIG ASS pile of SLOP ! My sloppy jo from Ms. schuemmaker in 3rd grade luncheon was better than that ! Fair to say my party and I wont be returning ! "Nasty stuff" my pal the k-time-you-down says ! read more

Casa Vallarta - Mexican Near Me - Saugus, Massachusetts

I was in the mood for Mexican and I stumbled upon this place just with a random Yelp search. The service was functional if not the friendliest, but the experience was more than satisfying overall: they provide each table with warm tortilla chips and a refried beans dip beside the (quite liquid) tasty salsa. The Enchiladas were good and definitely Mexica rather than Tex-Mex, something that I appreciate for a change. The cocktails were huge and priced accordingly (over $10 each). They forgot one piece of the order and we had to ask for it to be removed from the check, but they did so so no hard feelings. read more

I've been to Casa Vallarta twice and both times have been a great experience. The food is incredible and the menu has quite the selection of dishes. I had grilled chicken each time along with wings for appetizers - they were both cooked well and seasoned to perfection. The service was extremely attentive but not overbearing. All of the wait staff had smiles on their faces and they seemed like they were genuinely enjoying themselves. A festive family atmosphere. I'll definitely be going back soon! read more

Confession: I suck as a local. Week in and week out I drive into the city in search of the next good thing, when there are places like this in my own backyard. I drive by Casa Vallarta at least 3 times a week, never giving it a second thought. Anyone who's spent any amount of time on the west coast will be sure to let you know that good Mexican is far and few in this area. I tend to agree. Safe to say I'm walking in with my skeptic hat on. First impressions? The colored tile, the smell of fresh tortilla chips, and a wait staff literally large enough to service a battalion...Ok...these guys might be on to something. This feels every bit as much LA as any Mexican restaurant I've been to. The menu? Well, it's the menu. Let's be honest: 90% of Mexican restaurants at this price point have the exact same offerings. It is what it is! Now the food itself is what separates the weak from the strong. This is where Casa Vallarta flexes all kinds of muscle, authentic soul satisfying dishes! Specifically these chimichanga's....I need a moment.....sigh.....no words. Shame on you for thinking there weren't any decent family sit down Mexican restaurants within a 200 mile radius....wait...that was me?! Oops read more

This place is no bueno. Salsa tastes like bbq sauce with tomatoes and onions. Their hot sauce tasted like dollar store vinegar. The tortilla chips and everything else that was fried had a bad burned oily taste as if their frying oil hadn't t been changed in years. All the meat had the same bbq seasoning flavor taste. Would never go here again. I feel like as if i should have been paid to try their food. read more
