We found this restaurant on DoorDash during the pandemic and we weren't eating in restaurants. We loved it, recently we went to the restaurant and OMG it was even better in person! The staff was so kind and nice! We ordered a kids meals for our daughter and asked that it comes out as soon as it's ready. It came out fast and she loved it. I have never seen my daughter eat so much! There was also an appetizer that sounded really good and we asked them if they could make it vegetarian and they did and I'm so glad because it was the best queso I've had! It had mushrooms in it and was so good! I am glad we found this place and we plan to frequent it often! read more

Last time I was there food was very goods. Service was good. Price what you pay for is enough to make you full. Kids menu could you an improvement. -like maybe could include Mac and cheese. read more

One of the few Mexican restaurants in the greater Pataskala area. Authentic feel and service is fast and friendly. I like how they give you your own bowls to put your salsa in for double dipping. Portions are big and you get your money's worth. Not the best I've had but very good. read more

I ordered to go and the food has lost its flavor since opening. The food is bland and flavorless. I had given up on this place but I wanted to be fair and try again. I was right the first time. read more

Taco Tuesday. Good food and excellent service. Right here in Baltimore Ohio. Hurry out

The food here is good, and the servers are very nice. It's a family-friendly spot, which makes it great for dining with kids. Plus, there's plenty of parking space available, which is always a big plus. Highly recommend! read more

Good food and great service. Nice setting. A little loud but it was a Friday night. Portions were large and very tasty. And a nice margarita! Would go again. read more

Great food! Great service! Our server was right on top of everything. There were 10 of us and everyone enjoyed the whole experience.

Food and service are excellent, fast, friendly and affordable. They also have Mr. Pibb!

I love this hidden find. It is one of the best Mexican restaurants in this area. The service is always friendly and fast. They are extremely kind to our two kids, and fast with bringing out their food. The chips are always hot and the salsa is fresh. They are always on top of bringing more chips and salsa if the basket is getting low. My go to order is aros con pollo. The dish never disappoints!! Perfect mix of cheese, chicken, and fresh peppers and onions. The marg is delicious too! read more

My litmus test for a place that bills itself as "authentic Mexican food" is...carnitas. IMO, if a place can't "do" carnitas well, it's a fundamental fail. Puerto Vallarta does them well. It's a large menu, and I found only one entree featuring my favorite Mexican meat dish, but when the server (who was outstanding) said "they're good here" I had to go with it. Glad I did. Photo posted... PV is a clearly popular place, with a wide range of customers, all of whom looked like they were comfortable and happy with their experiences there. Plenty of easy parking in the lot, and lots of table space (they seem to need it). read more

Puerto Vallarta - Carnitas! Delicioso! - Mexican Near Me - Pataskala, Ohio

I really enjoyed this establishment, obviously as it speaks for itself since it has been in business for over a decade or so. Polite staff, I did get a Beef Enchilada when I asked for chicken, and they gave us a free dessert snack for the misunderstanding and inconvenience. Will return. read more

Puerto Vallarta - Steak Burrito Jalisco, chicken tacos, shredded beef tostada - Mexican Near Me - Pataskala, Ohio

This is my go to mexican restaurant. One its close to home, plus food is pretty good. I'm not a fan of the chicken nachos, only other thing is the cheese queso is always cold and we have to get them to heat it up. It definitely is runny but the flavor is good, wish they could thicken it up. Other than that the food is definitely worth going back and the service is usually pretty good. read more

Sat at the bar Saturday evening 12/9 Columbus Crew was on every TV Ever server in the place had their eyes glued to the tvs I thought maybe sitting at the bar would be better service, nope No Corona premier, draft or bottle They delivered my food but took 5 minutes to get me silverware There are much better places read more

Found myself in Pataskala some random Tuesday evening, so relied on my fellow yelpers to steer this fattie to a solid option to stuff my belly.. voila Puerto Vallarta! Came in and damn this place was jumping! Packed to the gills, which clearly is a good sign especially for a Tuesday night, and since I was alone just squeezed in at the bar. Was promptly served chips & salsa, then the bartender came over with a menu - I asked him if it was always this busy? Not sure if he didn't understand me or was too busy to engage in small talk, but half-smiled with a partial nod, regardless I took it as my cue to quickly order and not hold him up any longer. Got the enchiladas and a beer - I believe there's a drink special on Tuesdays (maybe why it was so packed..?) Even with how busy it was, service was attentive. Food was really good. Prices were reasonable. Overall experience - solid. Hope I don't find myself in Pataskala anytime soon looking for a place to eat, but if I do.. Puerto Vallarta is a solid option for a hungry fatboy! read more

This place is better than your typical Mexican restaurant. You can really tell that they care about the quality of the food they serve. Mine was absolutely delicious. read more

My husband and I enjoy this restaurant. I have taken family and friends there. The food is delicious and service is fast. read more

I've been here before and it was much better. Maybe just an off night. Our waitress wasn't so great and seemed to be in a hurry the entire time I was there. I ordered a drink and she brought me the wrong margarita. I always enjoy the cheese and chips though!! I guess it's hit or miss with this place. read more

Had lunch on the patio over the weekend. The patio is spacious and the tables are distanced. There is a large sunshade that covers the area. The food and margaritas were delicious! It was a wonderful treat to sit on the patio with a few friends and enjoy the day. read more

Absolutely fantastic. We stumbled upon this place one day by accident and didn't expect much for a restaurant in the middle of nowhere. Boy did they prove us wrong. We are here usually once a week now and it is always constantly great, welcoming, and charming. There are so many great items on the menu all made with care. This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in the Columbus area. read more

Came across this place by accident when we were trying to actually find a different restaurant. I'm pregnant and I was starving so we ended the search for the other place and stopped here. The portions are large and the price is great for what you get. My burrito filled the entire plate and was stuffed with peppers, onions, lettuce, rice, chicken, and more smothered in cheese sauce all for $12! I couldn't even eat a third of it because it was packed so full. We decibel decided this place was worth coming back too and the staff was super nice which was an added bonus. read more

Normal Mexican style dishes, served fairly efficiently..fav margaritas spot and good salsa

Best street tacos I ever had!!! They also have really good quesadillas. They've never gotten my order wrong, always happy.

Great food and drinks. The only bad thing to say about this place is the weird entrance and exit that somebody designed. Highly recommend this. The al Pastore nachos are to die for. read more

We were well east of Columbus and Sweetie wanted Mexican. This popped up with good reviews, and we tracked it down. It's in a very odd location, not near any other restaurants, in a very quiet strip mall in a residential area. Parking and access are also odd; you will have to drive around the buildings a bit. Service was decent; a bit slow. Prices are okay. The menu is huge, with plenty of typical Tex-Mex dishes. Sweetie got a quesadilla and liked it. I had the Jalisco fajitas: steak, chicken, shrimp, and chorizo. Very good fajita ingredients and tortillas. Also good rice and the other side items: guac, beans, etc. The chips and salsa were even pretty good. A little heat and plenty of chunks of tomato in the apparently homemade salsa. It's not on our way to, well, anywhere, but I would stop back if I was nearby. read more

We always love the fast service and food. One of our favorite restaurants in Pataskala.

The restaurant is good for families. The portions for food is good. Our waiter seemed rushed, and just answered inquires quickly. Being first time visitors, which I told him, he didn't spend much time. The restaurant was not crowded when we arrived. But was filling up. The outside patio would be a place to sit. We would give this restaurant another try. read more

Love love love love love there food wish we could eat there everyday staff is kind and friendly

The food is always hot and great. Service is fantastic. Fridays are very busy for them, evidence of a great place to eat.

Easily the best Mexican restaurant in Ohio. The food is authentic and is unparalleled. The prices are beyond reasonable for the amount and quality of food you get. I've always been blown away by the service whether I stop in to dine or place a carry out order over the phone. I've been 15+ times and have never had an order messed up. The best part is the food is literally ready within 10 minutes of you placing your order. You NEED to stop in and give this place a try! read more
