We came in for dinner on Cinco de Mayo and ended up paying $83 for two people, each with one entrée and two drinks. I get that it was a busy night, but the value just wasn't there. Prices have gone up quite a bit, and unfortunately the quality doesn't feel like it's kept up. The quesabirria tacos were $24.99 for three, and they came with two very small salsa bowls (both beans) and a small scoop of rice. For that price, it just didn't feel reasonable. On top of that, the tostada I ordered had a soggy shell, which made it hard to even enjoy. I've always liked PV, which is why this was disappointing to experience. It feels like PV has gotten significantly more expensive while the food quality has taken a step back.

This is a gem. Menu changes regularly so there is always something fresh and new. Prices may seem a little high for the area but the food and drink justify it. On my most recent visit we got 2 appetizers, two entrees (one was steak with shrimp add on), 3 desserts, and 5 cocktails for $250 which was not outrageous. Portion sizes are great. Food is full of flavor and cooked perfectly. We have sat on the restaurant side a few times but normally sit in a booth on the bar side. There is also a small patio off the bar in good weather. Bartenders are friendly and engaging. Plenty of parking and easy to get to. Only reason I knocked it a half star is the service on the bar side can be slow or feel forgotten about sometimes but it just depends on the time of day and if the bartender is having to do double duty or if they have dedicated wait staff in that area.

From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was out of this world--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Every dish we tried was a hit, and there were so many options to choose from! Whether you're craving classic tacos, sizzling fajitas, or something more adventurous, there's something for everyone. I can't recommend this place enough--I'll definitely be back. read more

Let me start with this, the service we received was amazing! The environment is so welcoming. We recently attended Mariachi night and it was such a good time and the music was beautiful. Now for the food, they have a new menu and it has the most amazing flavors and the options are so refreshing from other restaurants. Perfect place to enjoy a nice family dinner or even have someone's birthday celebration! Can't wait to try more off their menu. read more

Bottom Line Up Front...One star for the cleanliness, easy parking and the thoughtful decor. Steven missed on this one big time. The fact that they didn't have customers when he visited them could have been one of three issues (food quality, poor service, inflated prices). In my case, it was all 3. There were older white folks who saw Steven's article and did mention it to the wait staff. Some of those tables received chips and salsa, most didn't, not sure what goes into their criteria for who gets it and who doesn't. I chitchatted with the wait staff and asked them their specials and what they would want me to tell the Yelpers about them. They wanted me to give the community my honest opinion and said their best sellers are the Quesabirria and ramen (what what?) . Well we decided on neither of those and ordered the $17.95 Chicken Enchilada mole and the $12.90 Chicken Mulitas (each $6.45, staff did not ask if I wanted one or two). To be brutally honest...the Enchiladas were "lean" & dreadful. The mole sauce tasted like mud. The rice and beans was barely palatable (La Preferida from Safeway might have been better!). The Mulitas was ok but not something that I would miss. The red and green salsa from those plastic bottles was salty...as were all of the dishes...saltier... The plates were small, the price tag was hefty, paid extra for mole sauce (this was NOT a side order but something that is supposed to be the core dish sauce), extra for credit card use (3%). Nickel and diming...what next...clean your own table... quarter for restroom use! Of course, none of these upcharges were mentioned or listed anywhere that I could see... Service was just ok...they didn't talk about any specials or drinks...so we didn't order one. And the biggest kicker...no complimentary chips and salsa unlike those other hardworking Mexican joints awaiting your business. There was no hook; all sinker...Somehow, they think of themselves as "Cactus" but lack the basics of competing for your business. I ended up with an upset stomach later that evening.

I didn't really care much for the potatoes in queso. I got my order after that and the cashier apologized for the delay. The tacos weren't anything special sadly. I had one with chicken, one with potatoes and one with "spicy barbacoa". All of them were pretty bland. The spicy barbacoa was especially disappointing as it didn't have any kick to it and that's even with sliced jalepenos on the taco! This is not a place I would frequent or recommend.

The reviews truly praise this place, everyone talks about large portions, exceptional flavor and low prices. That was not our experience. The plate was large, but a very thin layer of food was spread around it. The flavor was also bland. Everything needed salt. The salsas, the rice, the beans and the meat. I think the guacamole was the only item that tasted as expected. Mexico is known for some very rich flavors, so don't remove that from your recipes. Service was friendly, they scored points out of the gate for service and for putting two salsas on the table. I can't take you seriously as a Mexican restaurant if you don't offer multiple salsas. I love a good green salsa, but this one was a bit tangy; I like it when it's infused with heat. The red was near flawless, except it needed a heavy dose of salt as so did the green. Since neither were hot, I asked if they had something hot and the smile on the woman's face let me know, that she knew, that I knew something spicy was on the way. It was thick, it was spicy, and it was exactly what I wanted, except, it needed salt. Unfortunately, since it came in a squeeze bottle, I couldn't add salt, but I put a couple tablespoons in the red salsa and it spiced it up. I had the Carne Asada. At $22, it wasn't cheap and the portion was more in line with what I have seen on lunch plates, The meat was so thin it was more like jerky than steak, and before you ask, it needed salt. Rice and bean were ok, but needed salt and honestly, what I was served could have easily fit on a plate half its size. A couple recent reviews, long time customers commented that this place is not living up to the standards that made them famous, and we drove to this location, because the reviews were more popular than the location further north, which would have been much closer for us. If you are familiar with my reviews, you know I would normally cut into a business for not meeting what I consider to be the minimum bar, but considering the place was near empty, I think they are just trying to hang on. We also had an issue with a couple at the adjacent table. From the minute they entered, they were disruptive. They were grandparents with a 5-year-old. This kid would not stop screaming. Not screaming like a crying baby, but anytime you excite him, he would yell. They gave him a cell phone with Monster Truck videos and the audio was all the way up, so between the obnoxious audio and the yelling it was way too much noise. They didn't appear that bright, so we chose not to engage them, but the server should have said something, they could barely take the order, because it was so loud. Took us a good 45 minutes to get here, it was not worth the drive. It was also not worth the money because portions were not generous or flavorful. The service short of the noise was flawless, but the rest was disappointing.

I don't know what it used to be, but it appeared to be a full-service restaurant, but it also had a drive through. That said, I guess it could have been a large fast-food restaurant. The menu had plenty of options and truth be told, I was just hoping for a taco, maybe 2 and rice and beans. I only say a 4-taco plate and I just wasn't that hungry. I ended up going with the Taquitos plate. It was 3 taquitos cut into 6 pieces, with rice, beans, sour cream and guacamole. It also came with chips and salsa. This wasn't the best Mexican food I've had, but it's a lot better than many full-service places we've visited. Everything needed a little salt, but I'm finding that to be par for the course these days. The taquitos were the star, juicy and flavorful. The rice and beans also were tasty one dosed with salt and pepper. He guac was average at best and the chips appeared to be commercial and not made in house. The two salsas were also average at best. Either way, if this was my neighborhood, this would be a spot I'd return to. There are several items on the menu I'd love to try. The people here were also really nice and you could tell that your satisfaction is important to them. I'd love to give 5 stars, but the food despite being above average just wasn't life changing.
