We ordered the BBQ pompano fish and an extra lentil soup for two people. The portions were huge and everything was so good!

The restaurant itself was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the staff were really friendly and welcoming. We left completely stuffed and already talking about what we want to try next time. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu! A great little local find.

Personal preference. Angry hot has a more powdery pepper taste. I don't like the powdery texture. The hot doesn't have that. Both were delicious. Juicy. Flavorful. Fries were delicious. Sauce is great. Glad they gave a lot of sauce. I used just about all of it. For once I can say. I needed more coleslaw because of the giant chicken. Would recommend if in the area

Been craving some good street tacos so had to satisfy this craving!…read more First time visiting Taqueria La Nueva Vallarta and had a good experience! It is located at the Northgate area in a shopping plaza so lots of parking spots. Very impressive interior decor! It is very welcoming and visually pleasing! From the ceiling plants and lighting to the wall murals, it feels comfortable and very tidy with lots of dining tables. I ordered for to-go so was actually tempted to stay and eat-in but had to get back to work. For the food, ordered the following: ***All Day Lunch Special $14.55 (credit card) 3 street tacos (2 steaks and 1 chicken) 5/5 With rice and beans includes a drink ***1 Street taco (chicken) $3.38 (credit card) 5/5 The meal was delicious!

Ordered a few different tacos, tostada and super nachos (with chicken). Their meat was seasoned to perfection. Actual flavors and not just salt. A bit pricey for each taco but the portion of taco is huge and honestly two did the job for me. Give it a try

As my order was being prepped the owner struck up conversation, a very nice man! Told me that I would like this meal, and I agree. Everything came together real well. The chicken was cooked and seasoned perfectly! Definitely will be back!

I also got the Parmesan truffle fries and those were absolutely delicious too. And of course I had to get a Thai tea, which was the perfect addition! Service was awesome! Everyone was super friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The space itself is very clean, cozy, and comfortable, perfect for grabbing a quick lunch but also somewhere you could easily sit and hang out with friends. Definitely a little Elk Grove gem and somewhere I'll be coming back to!

I just ordered a carnitas burrito from Taqueria La Perla Tapatia, and it was honestly one of the…read moreworst burritos I've had in a long time. The burrito was below average in size, had meat covering less than half of it, and contained no sour cream. The portion and overall preparation were nowhere near what I would expect when paying for a carnitas burrito. But the most concerning part was the salsa. It had an extremely strong chemical taste and smell that reminded me of Fabuloso or mop/cleaning solution. It was so unpleasant that I genuinely questioned whether something had gone wrong with the preparation or whether the salsa had somehow come into contact with cleaning chemicals. I cannot say what caused it, but the taste was absolutely disgusting and raised a serious food-safety concern for me. This is why consistency and proper food-handling procedures matter. A restaurant can have a great meal one day and a terrible one the next, but customers shouldn't have to wonder whether something that tastes like cleaning chemicals is safe to eat. I hope management takes this seriously and looks into the preparation, storage, and handling of the salsa and other ingredients. If a product tastes or smells strongly enough like cleaning chemicals that a customer is questioning whether it may be contaminated, that is something that should be investigated--not dismissed. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend this burrito. Poor portion, poor execution, and a salsa that raised legitimate food-safety concerns. Consistency and cleanliness should be non-negotiable in a restaurant.
