The service was great!…read more The amount of options, amazing. I ordered caldo de res and wasn't impressed. The broth wasn't flavorful, and I had one piece of corn, one piece of carrot, one potato, and one piece of zucchini. The potato was cooked thoroughly, but it was really grainy, had a horrible texture. Th zucchini was so overcooked, the only reason I knew it was zucchini was because I seen the skin floating in the soup, it was just a spoonful of mush at the bottom of my bowl. There wasn't much flavor to the soup at all, but plenty of meat. One of my favorite soups, but I wouldn't get it again at this restaurant. The dip had a wonderful flavor, but was the consistency of juice... couldn't pick it up with a chip. I poured some onto the chips but didn't do much good. When they brought out my rice, I poured what remained on top. My dates food was decent, but I forget what it was called. The drinks were good, but I didn't really feel the alcohol.

Should have read my previous review of this place b/c I ended up getting fajitas again (its usually my go-to). Ordered the fajitas pina, which was a huge pile of chicken, steak, and shrimp, topped with grilled pineapple. It was pretty good, but they overcooked most of it; maybe its because we had a big group. It's a huge portion and comes with all the fixings to make a great taco.

The first restaurant we chose was closed, despite it saying it was open online, so we decided to dine at El Vallarta. They weren't as busy when we arrived, but the restaurant quickly filled up while we dined here. I really enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant. It was giving a vintage Mexican housing community feel. The service here was pretty good. All of the staff we encountered were quite friendly, even with our little one. Our waiter was also quite knowledgeable of the menu. The food was very good! This was the first Mexican restaurant I visited in Virginia, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The food, however, was absolutely delicious! The enchiladas rancheros were savory and well-seasoned. It doesn't come with rice and beans, but I ordered them on the side. Even the rice and beans were well-seasoned. My husband enjoyed his tacos and our little one absolutely loved the rice. We'll be dining here again when we are back in the area.

The service was good, too. The restaurant was clean as well. We'll go back again.

Living in California now and being an Elite Yelper, I've explored a good amount of my authentic, mom n pop Mexican food. I asked my mom if she had tried this place and she said no. That was my cue to come on in and check it out! The restaurant and the store are both connected and I assume owned by the same people so after I placed my order for Quesabirria Tacos, I browsed the store to see what's good. In the store I found these fruits purée canned drinks (so good but hella sugar in them - which is fine too. Just don't say you weren't warned haha) and got like 4 different flavors (strawberry banana, guava nectar, and pineapple coconut). All delicious. Highly recommend. The service was good. The young ladies helped me pick out my drinks and were super sweet. Now, the quesabirria tacos...They're not the best but the meat was very tender and the price was very affordable so I don't feel like it was a waste. I would still go back and try other things. I feel there could have been more cheese and more flavor in the beef. My tortilla was also very soft/floppy. Like I said....I'd still come back and give them one more try!

As a fellow connoisseur of authentic Mexican and South American food this place has let me down…read more They recently started offering a lunch buffet and let me tell you I was excited , not many places offer this. But the last two time I went for lunch it was a major let down. The food is lacking seasoning and flavor it's just bland like they don't really care about how it taste . If you order off the menu stick to what you know even the meat is not as good anymore. On the other hand the chicharrones they make on the weekend are the best and my favorite highly recommend. And no this place does not offer chips and salsa it's not that kind of place

Most servers are polite and helpful. One, however, gave us hella attitude that we walked in when they opened at the 1045 and they weren't ready to serve food - they were still working on service prep. We stood at the counter, waiting patiently when she rudely said she didn't know why they unlocked their doors (at 1045 which is their opening time) when they weren't ready and why we just didn't take a seat. Uh, maybe because when the door says you open at 1045, you should be ready to serve food at that time??? Your employee unlocked the doors to let us in.
