Wow is this place an improvement over what used to be here. Ever since we noticed that there was…read moresomething new here, I've wanted to try it out, and recently I got my chance. When I walked in, I was greeted with a smile and patience while I looked over the menu. There are a lot of options to choose from! I ate here twice; the first time, I got a steak burrito, and the second time I got a steak quesadilla. You know that the burrito is good when it doesn't need cheese! The ingredients were well distributed inside and the shell was durable enough that it didn't explode while I was eating it. (Seems like that should be a baseline expectation, but given how many exploded burritos I've experienced in my life, it seems worth mentioning!) The quesadilla was browned quite nicely and the cheese was gooey and delicious. It came with some (high-quality) sour cream and some lettuce and tomato. There is a really-nice outdoor seating area that I'm excited to use this summer! There are some chairs and a pool table. If outside isn't your thing, there is a lot of space inside: a few booths across from the counter and a whole dining/seating area on the other (left) side of the building. I saw that another reviewer mentioned that there was some residual smell from when the location used to be a bar, but I guess they've done a really good job with treatment and whatnot as I didn't smell any tobacco smoke. I am VERY sensitive to that, and so I think I would definitely have noticed. All in all, I am so glad that I finally got to try this place. I really hope they do well enough to stick around, as it's a great location, and they've made the space very inviting and bright. I will definitely be back!

We had to pay for some fried tortillas and salsa. The chicken and steak meat in the burrito had an off taste, the soup had undercooked chayote and the corn on the cob tasted like candy, and the steak and cheese are probably the worst I have ever see . While the employees were friendly, the service was slow and the food did not make up for it.

We pushed open the gate though and found they were in fact open. The waitress was very nice. The bar drinks looked very good but we ended up not getting one this time. We started with the 3 choice appetizer sampler and got the fried cheese, fried salami, and tostones with the salsa golf which tasted like ketchup. I got the nachos which were good but the chips honestly sucked. Tasted like they came out of a bag. I would imagine they make them so maybe they're just old? My husband loved his sandwich though and would get it again.

Food was fresh and ability to pick corn tortilla or lettuce wrap was much appreciated. Guacamole was actual guacamole and not green paste. It is not intimate or quiet, but it's not so loud you can't hold a conversation. A cost-conscious lunch choice for sure. Tables were all wiped down and floors clean as well. I'm not a fusion aficionado, but will be returning here.

We stopped by Vallarta on a Thursday evening around 8:30, and the restaurant wasn't very busy…read more We started with the cheese dip, which was pretty basic. It wasn't bad by any means, but it also wasn't anything that really stood out. I originally ordered the Pollo Fundido, but my waitress accidentally brought me chicken fajitas instead. To their credit, she immediately had someone come over and offered to make it right, and another employee came over to apologize. They even brought me some chorizo since that was what I was really looking forward to from my original order. By that point, though, it was getting late, so I decided to just keep the fajitas instead of waiting on a new meal. Thankfully, the fajitas ended up being really good. They were seasoned better than most Mexican restaurants I've been to, and I definitely enjoyed them. My wife ordered the taco salad and absolutely loved it. Overall, the food was exactly what you'd expect from a solid American-style Mexican restaurant, and it definitely hit the spot. The biggest downside of the evening was the service. Everyone we interacted with was genuinely friendly and polite, but it just wasn't very attentive. We had to repeatedly ask for drink refills, and after requesting extra napkins, they never arrived. Since the restaurant was fairly slow, I expected service to be a little quicker and more proactive. Maybe our server was new, or maybe they were just having an off night. Overall, the food was tasty, and I appreciate that they owned up to the ordering mistake and tried to make things right. I'd be willing to give Vallarta another shot because the food was enjoyable--I just hope the service is a little sharper next time.

I wish I would have gotten more over the shrimp tacos however the tacos weren't bad but didn't live up to other things. The shrimp were pretty big and grilled. Hands down going back for papusas. Best meal I've had locally in a min. The restaurant is very relaxed but it was also lunch time. No one greeted me. Had to walk to the bar for service and seat myself. Aside from the that the server was really nice. It's just an old school hole in the wall joint.

Amazing Latin American restaurant! Walking in you could feel the love radiating from every corner…read more It felt like the staff really cared for customers greeting everyone and making sure our food was good, even offering recommendations we wouldn't think of. My partner and I both got their steak offerings with myself getting a steak chimichanga and him getting a steak burrito. They were both oozing with flavor, we both made audible "yum" sounds as we took our first bites and then laughed at how this food made us have a cartoon moment. The fries and beans sides were also good although the fries were our favorite, the menu doesn't offer this as a side for meals but our server was able to make the substitution. We left feeling super lucky that lovely family restaurants like this exist and that we got to experience their food. Can't reccomend this spot enough, they truly care about what they are putting out and it shows. If thats not enough to convince you they also give you free chips and salsa!

The one by the Walmart was more crowded than the other, but worth the wait if needed. The other location, I do not plan on going back even though it is a lot closer to my house. (I'd give that location one 2-3 stars) They were a lot more friendly and willing to make adjustments to your meal. I'm on a limited carb diet, and they have this monster Burrito with a cheese tortilla. Yum!! It was huge, more than enough for one meal (the portion by the fan were smaller). It comes with tater tots and barbecue sauce, which they were willing to put on the side. (The one in the fan "forgot") The waitress was extremely helpful, and said I could order other tacos with a cheese tortilla next time I visited. (Sadly my second visit was to the one in the fan, and they didn't care enough to even tell me they couldn't... which I was even willing to pay extra for?????) I plan on going back to the one by the Walmart soon, it was busy but worth the wait.

Let me start by saying the atmosphere here is almost always pleasant. Whether you're picking up…read morefood or dining in, they send you off with a friendly "see you tomorrow," which always leaves a good impression. My go-to order is the Quesadilla Del Mar without onions, and I have never been disappointed. When I dine in, I usually ask for queso on top. If I'm getting takeout, I order the queso on the side. Either way, the queso is top tier. A couple of small opportunities for improvement: Parking can be tough when the place is packed. Also, the complimentary chips, salsa, and white sauce for takeout could use some balance. You get two servings of chips but barely enough salsa for one chip, which feels a little off. I'm actually quite in awe of this and the main reason I can't give them 5 stars. You're already great. Don't compromise that by being stingy on salsa when give so much in your dishes. Overall, this is my go-to spot for Mexican food. I don't even live close, but I gladly make the drive every time.
