El Vallarta

Visited here this past weekend with my mom. Our server & the staff were kind and attentive. I got the chicken enchiladas with cheese sauce, with rice & beans.. it was delicious - so much flavor! I loved my food & my margarita. The prices are great! Not expensive like I would've thought. variety on the menu : build your own type things. They have a cute robot that goes around the restaurant ; plays music & brings out the food with a staff member.. it is literally the cutest thing. I kept looking for it when I would hear the music. I enjoyed everything. Definitely will be back & it's close to home!

Service was fast and friendly. I have came here many times and always enjoy my order. My favorite us the street quesadilla or burrito. Place is always clean with tv around to watch game if you wanted. They also have private party room.

Amazing food and margaritas! Located in Carolina mall across from extreme play. Don't let me the "mall" fool you, it's a sit down restaurant with a bar and service. Everything is really good but the ACP and fajitas are always my go-to! My son loves the rice, it's the only thing he'll eat. Great place to stop and eat before or after you do a little shopping.

What a great vibe for a mall restaurant. The prices are fabulous, the service is outstanding. It's clean, well appointed and it's quicker than a drive through. It is for those reasons why I am sad that the food let us down. On a hot July afternoon my sister and I stopped in for a quick bite and we were pleasantly served, but when our food arrived it wasn't visually appealing and it didn't taste great either. From the soupy salsa through the bland taste of the tomatoey shredded chicken. There is no way to describe it but disappointing. My Chalupa was soggy, I thought it was supposed to be crunchy. My sisters Tostada was also wet and drenched in refried bean goop. The lettuce was an odd "greige" color, and the veggies just weren't very fresh.... I wonder if I am spoiled by fake Mexican food (Thanks Taco Bell) and I really may not recognize authentic Mexican fare when it is served. It's 3.5 stars because the majority of this food will not be eaten. I would [possibly] go back, but I would order something completely different. I would ask more questions about my selection, and not assume that my understanding of Mexican food applies to what is being served here. Having said that, I really want to end on a high note here. I appreciated the lovely, warm chips that arrive as soon as you're seated. The portions are generous and our server was so personable and efficient with the best demeanor.

We love El Vallarta. In fact, you can find us there just about every Friday night! Now located in the Carolina Mall, the atmosphere is comfortable and accommodating to small and large groups. The food is consistent and they are always willing to change up a dish to fit your need. Staff is experienced and we love them all. Highly recommend.

Great location right inside Carolina Mall. Service was great. Very fast for moderately crowded night. Food is fantastic!!! I highly recommend the supreme nachos! They are enough on their own. Street tacos are great don't skip splashing with lime it marries the flavors. Rice is great too and their sweet tea excellent! The only thing weird was we had a waitress but a very loud music playing robot brought food to the table and then she would take it off the robot and put on our table. She was an older lady so I'm not sure if that's the reason or this is just how their doing it now.

Ordered a burrito with avacodo and she made it supreme .... Ok great .... Then it comes and has no avacado ....... Huh?? Meat was burnt.... Waitress after dropping off my order to the table, disappeared, until she brings the bill. What about another beer?? Do i need anything? Theres way better mexican places around with excellent food and service. This is not one of them. Taco Bell down the road is better but no beer.

Been to a few Mexican restaurants in the area and haven't been really satisfied with them. I've been eating Mexican food across the country my whole life and I'm really happy I found El Vallarta. All of the 1 star reviews are from years ago or picky eaters because this restaurant has great food, drinks, and service. Not to mention the robot food runner blasting music as it serves food to you haha.

for some reason this place is ok during lunch hours but after that it's just horrible and I mean horrible save your money

Great Mexican food. They even have a keto friendly bowl. The taco salad is the best! Great enchiladas. Two kinds of salsa with the chips. The service is the best. Full margarita bar. Be sure and check out the daily specials.I go there twice a week.
