Food was delicious. -Menudo (5/5) was full of flavor and so much tripes; fresh diced onion and cilantro along with fresh lime was chef's kiss. -Steak fajita plate (5/5) was huge. Steak was made well and tender. Rice was flavorful so was the received beans. Comes with some lettuce and guacamole too. -Carne asada taco (5/5) - very simple dish and the steak was the star of the show. Generous Portion of meat. For the price, this is a must. We even order 2 extra to-go! -Horchata (5/5) cheap and huge cup! Great flavor! Overall, it was a good choice for our stop during our road-trip. The folks here are very friendly. Service was quick. And for the price, this one is the winner! Also, they have great chips and salsa for all guests!

Portions are generous for the price, and the horchata is legit. The staff is friendly, fast, and attentive, constantly checking in without being annoying. The place has a laid-back, authentic vibe that makes you feel comfortable as soon as you sit down. Overall, Taqueria Vallarta is definitely a spot I'd come back to and recommend to anyone looking for real Mexican food.

As a vegan, that made me excited because actual Mexican food usually has less cheese and can be made vegan. The business is quaint. There was a friendly hostess to welcome us in and our server was very hospitable. We ordered the chile relleno without cheese, zucchini in pasilla pepper sauce, and mole verde off the vegetarian options on the menu. We also enjoyed guacamole and chips. Our server was happy to accommodate our vegan modifications and it was really easy to communicate with him. The flavors are just WOW! Hands down the best guacamole of my life. The sauces are vibrant and rich. Everything tasted so fresh. And the prices for this quality of food cannot be beat. My husband and I literally licked sauce off the plates to make sure we did not miss one ounce of that authentic Mexican flavor. This place is top of our list of businesses to visit next time we are in town visiting family. We had an incredible experience and cannot wait to continue to explore the vegetarian menu options.

After searching online for places with strong ratings (4.5 stars or higher), we decided to try…read moreGuajillos. Unfortunately, our experience didn't match the reviews. I'm not a professional food critic, but I do know seasoning, regional Mexican flavors, and what well‑prepared food should taste like -- and this just wasn't it for us. The restaurant didn't feel well-kept, and it appeared that only one server and one cook were working, plus we and another couple were the only ones there. We were served chips and salsa to start. The salsa, a taquera‑style orange sauce, was actually the best part of the meal. The chips, however, were extremely hard, not fresh, and definitely not warm. They looked house‑made, but whatever they were fried in made them almost inedible. I ordered the ribeye street tacos, and the steak was overcooked, had an odd taste, and wasn't enjoyable. I asked for extra cilantro and onions, which didn't happen, and the chimichurri they brought out was basically oil with a few seasonings floating in it. I almost complimented the Dr Pepper because it had a unique sweetness -- until I realized why. The red glass had visible staining on the inside. When I wiped the rim with my napkin, it came off dirty. They also don't offer straws, so whatever residue was in that glass is what you end up drinking. Between the food quality, the cleanliness concerns, and the overall condition of the restaurant, this was a no for us. How this place has earned such high mentions is honestly beyond me.

Once one finds the entrance and goes inside though, it is a well kept family style restaurant. We ordered food to-go due to Covid restrictions, although the restaurant was allowing indoor seating (allowable per local regulation). They were following local rules and protocols correctly it seemed. The food was good, as I recall now, but not overly memorable. Camper parking note: plenty of space here to park and hang a U-turn to get out. Probably not advisable for big motorhomes. Getting out of the place a bit of a Frogger game as the road is two lanes in both directions plus a center turn lane. But, it seems the traffic light in town controls the southbound traffic well to eventually give an exit opportunity.
