Nuevo Vallarta Mexican restaurant is an amazing restaurant, from the moment we walk in the door until we left. The food was out of this world. Everything is made in house from their homemade tortillas corn and flour, to their margarita mix. The menu is large. My favorite part of their menu is the pictures! I love seeing the food along with the description. There's a lot of yummy dishes to pick from. I've never seen a burrito as large as the one my husband ordered, it was hug!! I got the enchiladas and taco, it had best flavor. The spices and sauce was amazing. The cocktails were great too. The service was the best, Coco was our waitress, and she never missed a beat. I can't wait to bring family and friends back to Nuevo Vallarta for some more yummy food and cocktails. This is the best Mexican restaurant in Northern Nevada, hands down.
We were in the area visiting family and went here for dinner. We were seated right away and brought chips and salsa. The salsa was chunkier than we liked and the chips were a little more done than we liked so not starting off great. Our server was friendly and was able to answer all the questions at our table. We ordered a shrimp burrito, chicken and steak fajitas, chicken mole and skirt steak with enchilada plate. The food overall was a little salty and although the plates were quite large, I didn't feel like I got my money's worth, it was mostly sauce, rice and beans. The food was good overall with a fresh ingredient flavor. We also ordered a glass of Chardonnay which was good and a margarita that tasted like a pre mix vs freshly made. Based on the other restaurants and the cost, we probably won't be coming back.
5/18/2024- Decided to venture out from a few of our favorite Mexican restaurants-and stopped here. Location is nice, and off the Main Street.. Seated as soon as we walked in, but requested another table.. the table was unbalanced .. Menu has a lot of items- on the front of the menu, in red -states the charge of 3%for atm / credit card.. I went with the fish tacos- server said the description was wrong and the fish is fried-.. Exactly what I wanted - thinking fried meant battered fish- but it was not battered. Sadly the presentation of the fish tacos was so plain- no coleslaw, or garnishes.. But the sauce was amazing and made up for the looks.. Was not offered a choice of beans- but honestly the black beans were really good with rice- Also got the taco and enchilada combo- and it was good.. refried beans were very good.. Attentive staff .. $53 plus the 3% = $55 bill. Glad to have stopped in..
Wow, what a surprise. In a town with a plethora of Mexican restaurants you'd think there isn't room for another one, but you would be wrong. This was our first visit, and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we were thinking about our next visit already We started with the chips. They were served warm with two apparently house made salsas, the green one spicier than the red. We ended up enjoying two baskets and two servings of each salsa. I had the cheese enchilada and burrito plate and my wife had the chicken mole plate. The mole was the best I remember tasting and, as usual, I'll get to enjoy it tomorrow for lunch. We were full and so we ordered a flan to go to share later. The service was spot on. Our water glasses were never empty and our chip basket was replenished without us needing to ask. They have, what looks like, a fairly comprehensive tequila selection and so if you're into that I'd bet they have you covered. All in all, pleasant food, great service and a recycled building (in case you're visiting this was the original McDonald'a in town), convene to add another great Mexican food option to the Carson Valley.
My husband and I went on a date night. Normally, we are all about trying new restaurants especially Mexican but this was our first time here since they opened probably a year ago. Our area has 5 Mexican Restaurants. Yelp reviews were mostly positive with a few exceptions. As we parked we could see it was a slow night for them as the parking lot had a couple of cars. It had been a rainy, windy day so most probably decided to say indoors. This place was a converted McDonald's. They did a nice job on the remodel. They had a mixtures on tables and booths. As we entered we were greeted very friendly asking if we preferred a booth. We said yes. It was only the 2 of us but this booth could hold a comfortable 4 without it being a tight fit like some places where you feel like a sardine. A lady immediately brought chips and salsa. Chip were good, salsa was okay. It needed a bit more spices. The menu was very long with a ton of options. We were asked within a couple of minutes for our drink order and were brought drinks within a few minutes. Prices were average to higher than we have seem but not too outrageous. We ordered a burrito with shredded beef and the carne asada burrito. We got our food within 10 minutes. The burritos were big. If not too hungry, you could split it with someone. Mine had red sauce and my husband the green sauce. My husband had asked for black beans but pinto were used. He was okay with either. My burrito was good but I wish the red sauce was a bit more flavorful. It looked like the same red sauce used for the chips and salsa. I wish there was a bit more cheese inside as well. There was a good about of the shredded beef. My husband really enjoyed his burrito. Maybe these were not the best we ever had but still really good. My margarita was very good with plenty of alcohol. Throughout our meal we did have a gentleman come over asking how everything was. Maybe the manager or owner? Appreciated it. All in all I would recommend this place to try. Mexican food can be so different and depending on their style,, you might love it or not. I would come back and try something else on the menu.
From the moment we stepped in the restaurant we were made to feel right at home with everyone from the hostess to the guy who made our table side guacamole and our wonderful and personable server, Saul from Bacalar, Mexico. Saul took excellent care of our table and made some pretty amazing margaritas! The Chile con Queso was amazing as was the table side guacamole. When our dinners arrived, we immediately realized we'd be leaving with a lot of leftovers as the portions were huge! We had such a great first experience here, I'm sure we'll be back! We're also excited to come back and see some live bands from northern Mexico that will be performing late October. Their menu is extensive and has so many great looking dishes offered it was really hard to pick which one to try first. We hope you enjoy!
We LOVE this restaurant. We visit WEEKLY & the staff are so nice, they treat us like family. We each get the Asada Y Mas, skirt steak with an enchilada and rice beans/tortillas. Portions are generous and I'm pretty sure they shred their own cheese, it's bomb. My husband gets their margaritas and they taste fresh, not artificial. They also have dos xx amber on tap, so good! See ya next week
We walked in and it was empty and it scared us a bit but we got greeted very nicely by all the staff there. They started us off with fresh chips and really good flavorful salsas It was really hot out and when we walked in we got so relieved the ac was on. PERFECT! I got the plato chico ( 1 chicken enchilada and 1 al pastor taco with rice and and refried beans) My bf got the California asada burrito. IT WAS HUGE! Absolutely worth the serving and price. All really sweet people. Entramos y estaba vacío, lo que nos asustó un poco, pero todo el personal nos recibió muy amablemente. Nos sirvieron papas fritas recién hechas y salsas deliciosas. Hacía mucho calor y al entrar nos alivió mucho que el aire acondicionado estuviera encendido. ¡Perfecto! Pedí el plato chico (una enchilada de pollo y un taco al pastor con arroz y frijoles refritos). Mi novio pidió el burrito de asada californiana. ¡Era enorme! Mereció totalmente la pena la porción y el precio. Todos son muy amables.
We have been waiting to try this place for more the a year. It was a remodel of the old McDonald's. The remodel took about a year and a half. That is what is felt like getting our lunch this afternoon. The place was not that busy and they had a lot of employees. The food was ok. The beans were very salty. My wife's chicken fajitas were served not sizzling. Who has non sizzling fajitas? This place better step up because it does not compare to La Hacienda Del Sazon or Francisco's. They have a weird sign posted in the restroom and at the entrance. (See pics)
Went here as we needed to try this new Mexican restaurant. I had the steak fajitas and my wife had a birria taco and a shredded beef taco. Both very good and served very hot. I had a modelo beer and my wife a blended house margarita. The chips and salsa very good and we were served a really spicy salsa and a regular salsa. Service was great and super clean restaurant. So happy to have another great Mexican restaurant in the area.
Super disappointed . We got our first to go order from here and man it was all messed up. When I called I explained to the guy I would like a chile Colorado burrito with shrimp instead of chicken and he said I couldn't do that. He said I could do the Vallarta burrito with just shrimp. I told him that says it has chicken and crab and I don't want chicken or crab. He said they could do it with all shrimp. I said that would work. I then requested instead of the mushroom sauce to get red enchilada sauce on top which he said was fine. He repeated my order back which was two of these burritos and said shrimp Only and green enchilada sauce. I corrected him that I wanted the red enchilada sauce. Well we picked up our order about 10pm. When we got home the burritos were FULL of mostly shredded CHICKEN, a small amount of crab and a small amount of shrimp with GREEN sauce on top. Normally the green sauce wouldn't have been a big deal but we don't eat chicken so here we are with $45 worth of two burritos that we can't eat. It's 10:30 the place is closed. Rice, beans, and chips are good though. I picked out the shrimp - it had good flavor. This place has good flavors but they definitely don't pay attention to detail which is disappointing. Their hours are so convenient for those of us that dont have traditional eating schedules.
We ventured into another town for lunch. We have exhausted all the places where we live. Now onto this amazing meal. We entered and were greeted by the sweetest waiter Ivan. This young man was the best. We were brought chips and salsa, and we also requested the extra spicy for the Hubby. The mild was perfect for me. The chips were nice and crunchy with a great corn flavor. We did order a sangria for me and a margarita for the hubby. They have a really nice lunch menu with great prices and a very extensive regular menu. I ordered the #6 off the lunch menu. A chili relleno with the sauce on the side and a crispy ground beef taco. The rice was so good, great flavor as well as the refried beans. 5 stars for each of these. The taco was so full of meat (ground beef) and fresh veggies. The chilli relleno was huge and perfectly cooked. I get my sauce on the side so leftovers will not get soggy. Now this sauce was like a ranchero sauce, looked like onions, celery and maybe tomatoes in it. It was really tasty. Hubby got a #13 off the regular menu. 1 enchilada, he got ground beef, 1 crunchy taco with ground beef and a tamale which was shredded beef. I tried the tamale and it was very delicious. We did ask to speak to the Manager who looked a bit nervous coming over. We explained to him it was our very 1st visit and won't be our last. We told him everyone wants to call you over to complain, we were like we wanted to give you major compliments on everything from the awesome waiter Ivan to the food and atmosphere. Music was at a perfect tone etc. We were seated by the bar area in a booth. Very nice in that area. We will definitely be going back read more

Great food and service. Highly recommend! ‐--- Had a great experience coming in for lunch. Can't wait to come back and try more menu items. The owner, José Luis, was very accommodating and put a game that my husband was interested in seeing. Large selection of plates and price was on point. read more
We have ordered a few times from this restaurant. The food is great. This time, we ordered camarones chipotle w/mushrooms and chicken enchiladas. They both tasted great. The portion size is a bit on the small side but still delicious. We ordered to go this time, so this may be the reason for it. I know the last time we ate inside the portions was a bit larger, and we received chips and salsa. We did not for our to go order, they forgot it. The servers are very friendly and can answer any questions about the menu or bar drinks. These are great too, I love their margaritas, tequila, and beers. It wasn't too busy tonight (weeknight), as I waited for our order inside, at the bar. Enjoy... read more

My husband's favorite food! When l am trying to have my way with him l suggest we try some Mexican food. Puts him in just the right mood to discuss wanting another puppy! I will be going to a lot of Mexican dinners to pull this one off! lol. Seriously we had some really good authentic Mexican food. I had Beef enchilada and a chile relleno rice and the best tasting beans Hubby had tacos just the way he likes them. The plates were gigantic and so darn hot when they were delivered to the table. Just love really warm food made with love! So if you want to travel to Mexico without all the expense go to Nuevo Vallarta and enjoy! read more

Where to start? The restaurant is clean and temperature is comfortable, not freezing like so many places. Upon entering, we were greeted warmly, and every staff member we encountered was just as friendly and helpful as could be. We loved the salsa. My husband ordered a taco combination plate, and I ordered albondigas. The food was delicious. I am sitting here eating some of my leftovers as I write this review. We live in AZ, but this will definitely be our go to place for Mexican food when we come visit family again. read more
