    New Cadillac Margarita, it's an excellent choice. The food is yummy. Wifey and I are offering in here twice a week.

    This is a new style of "Cadillac Margarita" for them, it certainly meets my approval. I come here almost twice a week because the food is yummy. This is an added treat.

    Nice and festive inside.

    On Sundays, my mother and I have lunch together. She likes Mexican food but her knowledge of places to eat is very limited. Since I like to check out new places I suggested for us to try Lauras Restaurant. It is pretty local to our area and had to see if this could be a new place on my mother's list. We arrived shortly after they opened. There were already a few people inside. Although there was a sign for us to wait to be seated my mom wanted the window seat so she sat down. We were provided a couple of menus and the search for what we wanted was on! My mother has a difficult time with choosing what she wants to order, not to mention her ability to read the menu is getting poor. Looking at photos helps a lot. The menu does have a number of photos per page but none of them were what she was interested in. After figuring out what to order it is now lunch time! I ordered my mom the Crunchy taco + Cheese Enchilada plate while I got the Parrillada. Its a bit simple, but I like to gauge my first tastes on the beans and rice. If that is poppin, my dish is going to be fire! (most times) The beans and rice test passed and onto the meats. Parrillada came with chicken, steak, and shrimp over grilled onions. Pretty much a fajita sampler. Accompanied with some tortillas I went to town. Comparing the meats my fav was the shrimp but all was good. My mother loved her meal and devoured the taco and enchilada. She is supposed to watch her diet but this meal was a free pass as she enjoyed it so much. (I should have included the photo lol) One thing I didn't mention earlier was the decor. I noticed there were a bunch of balloons all around. Not sure if there was any festivities that day or it its like that normally but it was nice to see. I do understand there are happy hours and event nights such as karaoke. Might have to check it out some day. Overall I really enjoyed the meal. I'd like to come back with my mother again in the future or bring some friends along. Parking: private lot VERDCIT: Rinse and repeat

    This Mexican food restaurant is small but there is ample seating! The restaurant was affordable they have great lunch specials for those on a budget. I got 2 tacos, rice, and beans for $10.99 +tax. The portion size is great the everything had a flavor and tasted well. The owner was inviting and I was served quickly. It was ok for a quick bite if you in the area this is a place that is descent that won't burn you pockets!

    The food is delicious, and the service is great. If my family and I travel to this area again we definitely will return.

    Our favorite local spot! Food is always delicious and satisfies the craving when we don't want to cook at home. We've been enjoying Friday night karaoke. Definitely worth trying out!

    The restaurant has good food. It is located in the large plaza of Vallarta supermarkets. Plenty of parking. Unfortunately, the day I went, the restaurant sign was that it would be closed for Christmas.

    Alright let's start off the the salsa that has no salt and water downed. My man made a comment then I should of listen and ran. I went on to order their seafood mix tostada I got the a fishy stale frozen seafood mix with absolutely no flavor. I poured so much hot sauce and salt to try to eat it but when you can taste the frozen bites I couldn't do it. Found this place from instagram from San Fernando valley eats I think home boy is lying to us. My boyfriend got a taco but I think it was a lettuce taco because there was basically no flavorless boiled meat.

The fajitas arrived sizzling, perfectly seasoned, and generously portioned -- definitely great for sharing. The ceviche was bright, fresh, and beautifully balanced with that clean citrus kick that keeps you going back for more. A standout detail for me was the unlimited Colombian coffee -- smooth, aromatic, and constantly refilled, which made the whole meal feel extra warm and welcoming. Gilma, who took care of our table, provided truly amazing service: friendly, attentive, and effortlessly on top of everything without hovering. Prices are very reasonable especially considering the big portions and overall quality, and the plenty of parking makes the visit even more convenient. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, perfect for a casual meal where you can take your time and enjoy. For a first visit, this felt like discovering a neighborhood gem -- already looking forward to coming back.

The same women have been working there as long as we've be going. Very personable and friendly. Helpful with questions and suggestions. When you order, they give you a tray with chips and a delicious cheesy bean dip. They have a salsa bar with 5 different choices, sauted carrots and peppers and some onions. The food is always generous and delicious. We ordered (my hubby) a wet, Lengua (beef tongue) Mojado burrito with salsa verde and cheese. I ordered the Camarones (Shrimp) Rancheros w/ corn tortillas. It came with beans, rice and salad. Go give be them a try.

It's not soggy and it holds its shape. The birria consomé itself is something I come back for by itself. You can definitely taste the cloves. I reccomend asking for more lime. They've definitely improved a lot service wise! More than a year ago it took my and my friends more than 20-30 minutes to get our food. It was really off putting but the birria was enough to come back and I live really close. Last couple times I've gone this year and late last year they have improved to less than 15 minutes depending on the size of the order. Their baja fish and shrimp tacos taste just like the ones alongside baja california (i know since i did a roadtrip along that coast) If you like fish tacos it's a must try!! Come here please you won't be disappointed!! Your Mexican parents won't be disappointed either (mine loved it) On a side note, la plaza del valle is an open area concept. They only have outdoor seating so plan accordingly since it absorbs any weather. They have multiple murals and wall art/decor to honor mexican culture and other latino cultures in the plaza (of which I am so proud of) Parking is nice and easy in the back. Check it out!

Thanks to our friends who recommended us to try Poncho's Taqueria out. Plenty of parking spots available for use. There are also tables and chairs outside for dining. Ordered food for pick up on a Saturday afternoon. Our order consists of Loaded Nachos, 2 Chicken Plates, Asada Plate, Breakfast Burrito, Birria De Res Bowl and 3 Quesataco. Poncho's Taqueria did not disappoint. Great customer service and friendly cashier. The portions of food servings in each item ordered were of good size and enough. Loaded Nachos was delicious with carne asada, guacamole. sour cream and salsa to name a few. The 2 Chicken Plates we ordered were fulfilling. The chicken was tender and not overcooked nor undercooked. The Birria De Res Bowl were plentiful and meat was tender and flavorful as well as the Asada Plate. Breakfast Burrito was huge and stuffed while the Quesatacos were yummy. We can't wait to go back and try Poncho's Taqueria's other items on their menu.

My neighbor always comes here so I decided hey since I don't have a car let me walk myself down there and try their food! Honestly the food was great. If you do decide to drive there is a parking lot in the back or side! But to let you know it's on a Main Street so be careful it's next to a street where I knew someone who got in mild car accident there. The service was great. You walk in and order and pay. You find a seat and they bring the food to you freshly made. I got pig feet I believe in my menudo! I will come back and see if I will truly recommend this place because it's a one time thing so far. But it's quiet and chill. The ambiance is regular. Nothing too flashy or dressy. I have it a four because their soda fountain spreed out and was missing the bottom of the thing to place my cup. That's the only bad thing I'd say about this establishment. Fix the drinking fountain haha Yelp check out all the foot traffic and engaging audiences I'm bringing.

Parking is on the side lot toward the back of the restaurant, and there's a short walk around the corner to get inside. The restaurant itself is small and pretty tight, especially since it's on a little corner. When we arrived, all the tables inside were full and there was already a line to order. You order first and then find a seat. They do have three tables outside if you prefer outdoor seating. Once we ordered, most of the tables inside became available, but all of them still had plates and cups left behind. We sat down at one and asked the lady at the front if someone could clean it for us. Quite a while went by, and no one came. Eventually someone came out to clean a different table across from us, but ours was still full of dishes. It definitely felt like they didn't have an organized system no clear roles for taking orders, cleaning tables, or running food. When our food was ready, the lady brought it out while our table was still full of plates from the previous customers. She looked at us holding the plates and we told her we had asked earlier for the table to be cleaned. She apologized, cleaned it off, and came back with the food. The plates didn't come out at the same time either everything came out one by one. Service was definitely off and felt a bit chaotic. Now the good part the food. The food is delicious. I ordered the pozole, which comes in the cutest little pot super aesthetic and really good. My husband ordered the chilaquiles divorciados and they were solid. The place is small and the tables are tightly set, so it does get loud, especially when it's busy. And we went during the week around 11:30-12:00, which I thought would be slower, but they were still pretty busy. I can only imagine how packed it gets on weekends. Would I recommend it? Yes for the food. The flavors are worth it. Just be prepared for slow service, a crowded dining room, and a bit of disorganization. If you go in knowing that, you'll enjoy it a lot more.
