Peppered butter steak omgggg
Noe C.

Delicious Steak omg, superb and flavorful. Great selection of cocky and cozy space and great service. Menu leads more towards seafood but you can also order from the sister bar next door. Greg staff, lots of flavors and close to trains and highway. Come by if in the area or looking for Mexican cuisine and mixology

First time here. The ambiance is very pretty and welcoming. Rafael was our server for dinner, he was so nice and patient with going over the menu. Drinks were amazing! Food was very good!

Michelada Al Pastor

We had a great experience at Vallarta! We stopped by for some post-dinner drinks on a Tuesday night and sat the bar. The Michelada Al Pastor was delicious, a must try! Alex, the owner, was so attentive. He gave us samples of his signature drinks and explained what was in them. Rigor was also fantastic and made sure we had fun. The atmosphere is intimate and lively. Once they found out it was my sister's birthday they brought her some special treats. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

I just love this place - never disappoints The…read morecollaboration with Kwame Onwuavhi was excellent

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, so I was really happy to finally visit on a…read morebeautiful day and snag a seat outside. Naturally, I wanted to try as many classic dishes as possible, especially since the menu had so many items that caught my eye! Food: 4/5 I'm not gonna lie: when I go to a place that advertises chili and spicy dishes, I expect HEAT. I want my mouth on fire! Unfortunately, outside of the marinated crab, I didn't get quite the level of spice I was hoping for, even when trying their traditional spicy sauce. I understand that not everyone wants to suffer through a meal, but for those of us who love spicy food, I was hoping for a little more kick. That said, the food was genuinely delicious. The wings were beautifully fried with this almost lime-and-sugar-crusted flavor. They were crispy and tasty, but definitely not spicy. The mussels were another highlight. They were smoky, incredibly tender, and cooked beautifully. I would absolutely order them again. However, the marinated crab was the star of the show. It had exactly the level of spice I was craving, and I kept going back for more because I just wanted that burn! It was seriously addictive. I was also pleasantly surprised by their happy-hour seafood tower. For around $45, you get clams, oysters, shrimp, and marinated crab all on one tower. Honestly, that's a fantastic deal for a shareable platter of seafood that can get pretty expensive elsewhere. I would absolutely come back during happy hour just to order this again! I also tried the crab fried rice and sweet limeade. The fried rice was worth trying, while the limeade was refreshing but nothing particularly memorable. I've heard great things about their cocktails, so I imagine those might be worth exploring if you drink alcohol. Our total came to around $150 after tax and tip for the seafood tower, marinated crab, wings, mussels, crab fried rice, and limeade. It's certainly not the cheapest outing, but considering how much we ordered, I thought it was reasonable. Service: 5/5 Honestly, the service was fantastic! My server was attentive throughout the meal and made sure to explain the best order for the dishes. For example, she recommended serving the raw seafood tower first, before bringing out the cooked dishes, so we could enjoy everything at its best. I really appreciated how patient and flexible she was, especially since I'm a little indecisive when ordering. We started with the seafood, moved on to the cooked dishes, and then I ordered the crab fried rice because I really wanted to try it. The pacing felt thoughtful rather than rushed, and the team was accommodating throughout the experience. I genuinely have no complaints about the service. My server made the experience that much better! Vibe: 4/5 I really enjoyed being able to sit outside on such a beautiful day. The restaurant was a great place to enjoy a variety of seafood and share several dishes without feeling rushed. The happy-hour seafood tower also makes it a particularly appealing option for a group looking to try different things without spending a fortune on each individual seafood dish. All in all, I would definitely come back, especially during happy hour for that seafood tower and the marinated crab. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and I thought the overall value was pretty good considering everything we ordered. My one note: If you're a serious spice lover who wants every dish to set your mouth on fire, this might not be the place to satisfy that particular craving. There are definitely other spots in New York City that deliver more heat. But if you're looking for delicious seafood, a great shareable platter, and excellent service, this place is absolutely worth checking out!
