A friend and I were headed to an MMA event just north of Oroville and needed a quick bite to eat,…read moreso pulled off and hit Yelp to find something good in the area. Vallarta Grill looked like a good option so we headed over. This was a Saturday evening (about 6pm)... they were busy, but had no trouble seating us within a couple minutes (the host had to duck out to clean the booth for us). The menu is very complete - lots of options! It was honestly tough to make a choice. I chose the Lamb Shank, which included an enchilada. I was given the choice of ground beef, shredded beef or chicken for the enchilada. I asked if I could somehow upgrade to a shrimp enchilada and was politely declined. My date chose the chile verde. I also ordered coconut shrimp as an appetizer. First up was the coconut shrimp - first impression: I was surprised at how "flat" they were! Obviously it was intentional, but flatter than anything I've seen or had before. I jokingly called them "road kill shrimp" and my date slapped me. They were good, though, and I understood and appreciated the reason(s) for flattening them - more surface area for the breading, even cooking and easy to scoop up the yummy sauce. Next up were the main dishes - the Lamb Shank was good... imo, I would have liked the sauce to be a little thicker, but the flavor was good. I really liked the enchilada too. I didn't have a ton of the rice and beans just because I normally don't eat much of that - but it was good, better than I've had elsewhere! I had a bite of my friend's chile verde too and give it a thumbs up. I love flan. I was full enough that I didn't need to order flan, but I couldn't leave without giving the flan a try. I'm glad I did! The flan was very good, some of the best I've had in a while. Overall, great meal and I wouldn't hesitate to drop by again if I was in the area.

After a long hike and drive I was excited to finally dig into some good food. I pulled into a busy…read moreplaza with plenty parking. The host was very friendly and I immediately got sat down. To my surprise they gave me complimentary chips and salsa with bean dip. It was good my favorite was the bean dip. The horchata had a little too much ice for me. I ordered a wet burrito (~$24) and it was decent. Everything was served to me so fast, excellent service. In my opinion it was on the more expensive side but it's a sit down restaurant so you're paying for that experience. I enjoyed my experience overall I would recommend this to someone who likes quality Mexican food.

If you're in the area, please check this place out. You will be delighted by its culinary offering!…read more I've tried the food here before [family members brought me some], but over the weekend was the first time I had ever gone to the business myself. The restaurant is rather large, I thought it was larger than your typical taqueria. Tables and floors were clean. Easy to navigate one's way through to the counter and then to whatever table you choose. Luckily, I had arrived before the place got too busy, so I had no wait in line and no fight at the salsa bar where I got my chips and salsa. They have spicy, mild, a type of crema, etc. And they all are tasty! Who doesn't love a salsa bar? I had ordered the Birria Taco Meal, which includes 2 tacos [I could've eaten 4-5 easily], rice and beans and guacamole, pickled onion and lime. The food was hot, fresh from the kitchen, and I wolfed it down not long after it had landed on my table from the server. Rice and beans were nicely seasoned, the guacamole was smoother than what I'm used, but nothing bad about it concerning the taste. I love pickled onions, the vinegary taste works for me! The tacos were crunchy, and the meat inside was tender and juicy. That was the best part about my experience: the food! And the worst? The fact that they have a loaded menu and that I couldn't order more items because I was full. The food here is just phenomenal! I left feeling satisfied and with a strong desire to return again. If only I lived closer to Gridley!

I don't eat the meat or seafood/ crab and my guests I bring missed the sushi and all said the billboards advertising the crab legs had (ok, as a lifelong vegetarian, I don't know the diff or what they're called, but basically, the following: ...) been the big ones on the billboards, but in real life, they're the weird, tiny ones that take forever to get open and then there's very little payoff or meat or whatever. The pasta dishes tonight, including the Mac n cheese, all had no flavor and they used the large asparagus instead of the thin ones they normally have (I love the thin ones bc the thick ones are harder to eat). All in all, they should lower the prices back and go back to what they were doing. I might come back if they do, but probably not if they remain at these prices for these above mentioned changes.
