Vallarta Mexican Seafood…read more All the vibes of a Mexican Pacific Coast restaurant. Finally persuaded my 100% Italian wife to visit Vallarta Mexican Seafood, and she loves this place. Caveat: Vallarta Mexican Seafood is several rungs above the average Tex-Mex joint in the Greater Dayton Metropolitan Area. We really enjoy Sonora Grill Seafood Steak Bar & Grill, and Vallarta Mexican Seafood merits special attention as well. On our radar: La Poblanita Mexican Market and restaurant. A note on stars; Sonora Grille is on Burkhardt, and in a small strip mall; I am not inclined to award a strip mall restaurant 5 stars; however.... Vallarta Mexican Seafoodis also in a small strip mall with plenty of free parking. Folks inclined to visit and dine at The Greene might go west to visit Vallarta Mexican Seafood. Travel Tip: do check menu Spanish definitions to avoid order errors. We can depend upon Yelp whilst researching: Here are 5 Star Reviews for Vallarta Mexican Seafood. Several of these reviews encouraged us to visit Vallarta Mexican Seafood: ...but their food is SO GOOD!! Fresh, flavorful, not your typical Mexican restaurant. Visiting from Seattle and was looking for some good authentic Mexican cuisine. Found it here! Vallarta Mexican & Seafood... a MUST try for super fresh, delicious, LARGE portion seafood! Amazing service, fantastic portion sizes, and the food was awesome! will definitely be back! Throughout our 60 year relationship, my wife enjoys dessert as an appetizer, and today is no exception. The Churro's are delivered in a flash; we discovered this special treat nearly 50 years ago during an expedition to Spain and Portugal. The very best Churro's were prepared by roadside vendors, and our friends, Bill and Ellen Rose agreed. Neat ambience, and delightful service. Music is Boomer Music.... My wife insisted on MAR Y TIERRA - Mexican Surf and Turf. Grilled chicken, steak and shrimp served with rice, charro beans, sour cream, lettuce and tomatoes - expect a togo box. My son elected QUESADILLA DE ASADA A flour tortilla filled with your choice of grilled meat, stuffed with cheese, grilled bell peppers, onions and tomatoes. Served with rice. And I selected Steak PARRILADAsteak cooked with bell peppers, tomatoes and onions. Served with rice, charro beans, lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo and flour tortillas - expect a togo box. Way too much Tilapia on the menu - we recommend to lose this fish and replace with REAL fish. My wife is Very Pleased, and she advises that we shall return

I was hungry and looking to try somewhere I haven't been before. Stumbled upon this little gem in…read moreYelp and saw the excellent rating so I gave it a shot. I went at 8pm on a Saturday and there was no line, plenty of parking. The cashier was polite and friendly, told me 10-15 minutes, but it was ready in about 8 minutes. The horchata and tacos were all delicious! The salsas were also very good, and they gave me two large slices of lime for my food. I will definitely go back. Reasonably priced in my opinion, I paid $16 for four tacos and a large horchata. The food was really well wrapped in heavy duty tin foil and placed in a plastic grocery bag. On my way home my food slid off the seat and crashed onto the floor, but everything stayed intact! This wasn't a problem for me, but just know it is cash only and there's no seating while you're waiting. I sat and waited on a concrete parking block since I didn't park close enough to see the window.

The carne asada was served traditionally, however the beef wasn't seasoned well- we look for evidence of a lime-based marinara which was lacking. Nonetheless, the food was tasty. Service was quick, attentive, and polite. Well done! The main reason for three stars was the poor maintenance of the restrooms. The ladies was "c+" clean, while the men's room was "D". We visited this establishment within 30 minutes of opening with one other customer in the building. However the men's room smelled strongly of urine with tiny gnats hovering around the urinals and toilets. Otherwise, the ambiance of the dining area is colorful and clean.

My parents come here often and I tried it for the first time tonight. Major issues. I asked if the soft serve margarita had dairy (I'm vegan) and if the beans had lard. The waitress didn't seem to understand what I asked, so she brought over another waitress. The other waitress simply said "I don't think so", I need a definite yes or no. She would not even go check or ask. I ordered the veggie fajitas. NO sour cream and NO cheese. It came with both. When I asked them to correct it, they brought out a different kind of beans containing meat (which was mixed into everything) and the fajitas even had a piece of chicken (which I can usually ignore but it genuinely felt personal). I'm not usually someone to complain. If you look at my other reviews, they are fairly positive. However this pissed me off. I would be fine if it was just a translation issue, I understand. However the number of things that occurred was unacceptable. And "I don't know" is not acceptable to someone with an actual allergy. That being said. I really did like the overall vibe in here and the robot came out and danced which was fun. But all of that did not make up for what occurred. I wish that it had been better.

Light crispy and so salty. Just delish. Then the guac was good and the chipotle salsa was nice, smoky, tasteful. Then for my main, I got the tostada. It's this double decker dish, which was also great. A bit hard to eat, but I enjoyed it. Also the side potatoes were also great. Flavor packed. I wish they a bit less rigid on menu requests, like I would've loved to have the enchilada without chicken. Cheese enchilada seems like a reasonable change. I had a bite of the desserts also and they were fine. The tres leches was kind of ok. Service was good. Place is nicely done also. I works definitely come back if in the area again.

The menu doesn't list any soft drinks anywhere, I asked the waiter if they serve Coke or Pepsi products, it's Coke. I wasn't informed/told/disclosed/declared/made public/carrier pigeon/announced/communicated in any way that each time I was asking for a "refill" that a glass full of ice with a little soda was being separately charged. At any restaurant that is charging by the beverage ordered for SOFT DRINKS they give you a can or a bottle, just some educational info for the owner/managers... For any patrons that can't see behind the magic curtains on how they fill the glass full of soda, it's by having the bar fill it. On to the food... I would come back for the food despite the attitude and atmosphere of people not happy to work there. I ordered the pork chop and it was great and I would order it again. The salsa was amazing with a very great smoky flavor. I ordered the pastel de elote for dessert and it was amazing. The food and atmosphere are worth coming back to. I'm sure the waiter who was ignoring my table and delaying service like paying for the meal or asking if "another soda" would be something wanted, while she was spending excessive time chatting to the staff and investing her time on the phone doesn't describe all waiters, or the manager who couldn't be bothered with helping a waiter to get me a glass of soda and simply ignore my request is an off night experience. Other than those good review canceling services or non-services it was "good".

I ordered the Burrito Chiapaneco for take-out, and it was ready in about 15 minutes. The Chiapaneco comes stuffed with grilled chicken, grilled onions, rice, beans, lettuce and shredded cheese, and topped with queso. When I arrived to pick it up, I was surprised at how small (cozy?) the inside was. They also have a small patio out front. The burrito was huge, and came with three different sauces on the side. I'm usually a fan of spicy, but these sauces were VERY hot, so tread with caution. The burrito also came with a side of chips and salsa which was nice. Overall, the food was pretty good and the portion was very generous. I'd definitely get take-out from here again.

They have this great system where there's a little table tent and you stand it up if you need something, and a staff member appears quickly. Lay it down and they leave you be. Genius. The food is absolutely fabulous! We have dined here twice. Both times we came early and chose a low top in the bar/lounge because they have an unbeatable happy hour applicable to cocktails, draft beers and several of the delectable appetizers. 4 to 6 pm. So far we've had the Elote corn bites, Coco bites, fried Yuca and the crab bites. 5 stars for all though the Yuca was the weakest link because I'd like it so much better boiled. Their sauces just dance on your tongue. The sides, notably the black beans and garlic potato salad, are superb. And don't miss those Latin cocktails! They were agreeeable to split a main for us, the Arroz con Pollo which had plenty of tender chicken and was full of flavor. On a second visit we each got our own main. So we've had a lot of different dishes here and they were all excellent. My rating is 4 1/2 stars, rounding up due to all of the above. The minus half star is due to one negative. When you're done, the waitress arrives with a hand held electronic device and says 'I can take your payment right here.' Yeah, I expect you to take my payment at the table, AFTER you've given us our bill, then quietly withdrew for a bit while we look over our bill, decide if we're paying cash or card, and also consider how much we plan to tip. I did not like this at ALL, particularly since she did not also say "or would you like a printed bill." We did in fact request and receive a bill to handle in the normal way. So don't feel pressured to just hand over your credit card. This is a practice I would expect from a big corporate chain, not a Mom & Pop. But I love everything else about El Meson.
