El Vallarta

was here for lunch today. Great place, nice atmosphere, quick and efficient service. the food was really good and priced great $10 plus tip for lunch. I will go back for sure.

11/26/24. Party of 11 arrived around 6:45pm to a madhouse. Thankfully, they had a record of our reservation, so we were seated quickly. We were given salsa (mild and spicy) and chips, while we placed our margarita orders. I tried to order a cosmo but the waiter and manager didn't know how to make one. They tried their best and gave me a martini, but it was just a vodka/cranberry. The table ordered 3 queso dips which were addicting. Various entrees were ordered but I chose the mixed fajitas. The portion was ample and it was very good. No complaints on the food. The service needs improvement. We had to ask multiple times for water, napkins, more margaritas, and chips. The delivery of the entrees were also staggered. The real shocker to me is that no employee knew how to make a cosmo despite having the ingredients. There might have been a language barrier issue, but still surprising nonetheless.

Came here with a huge group the day before Thanksgiving (15 kids and adults total). They don't accept reservations, but we came early and they accommodated us well. Menu is huge and everything we all had was excellent. Great portions, flavor, and variety. The nachos were especially enjoyed. Some of us also enjoyed their $2 taco special. The absolute highlight of the night was when the robot cat delivered the food while playing music! We were all shocked and the kids enjoyed it especially. We had a slight mixup when we ordered the margarita pitcher, thinking we were ordering the special posted at the entrance, but turns out we needed to ask for the "margarita mix". That was a bit disappointing, but overall we still had a great experience.

The food here is always good. On this visit I tried something new. The chicken Oscar. Wow, the sauce that accompanies the chicken is phenomenal. The chicken breast itself was a bit dry and bland, but the sauce took this dish from mediocre and I will never order again to delicious and I'll definitely order on my next visit. Now I am not a rice fan, but this cilantro rice was great. My 2 young children had the kids chicken tenders with fries. Nothing to write about. Your usual Mexican kids chicken and fries. My husband had the fajitas which is his normal unless he's feeling adventurous. Service as always is friendly, prompt, and fast, and my kids just love the robotic, music singing server.

Holy Guacamole this is a new spot that I overlooked for the past 3 years. I had the classic Mexican sandwich known as the Mexican Torta with a Long Island Iced Tea. The sandwich is a staple and I can see why. You select your choice of meat and It was filled with avocado slices, lettuce, refried beans, onions, tomatoes served on French bread. I wasn't expecting a full crowd yet this place was packed with families and friends. It was nice vibe with splashes of Mexican decor. My drink was a bit strong but needed for the type of day I was having. The portion is quite huge so go on an empty stomach.

First time we went it was really good about six months ago. The food is decent but every time I try to order a top shelf margarita I'm pretty sure it's not top shelf and I have to ask for an extra shot of tequila. It's pretty average.

Love this place. This is a weekly staple. Service is wonderful and food is just as good. Never disappoints and never get tired of going!!

We arrived and sat at our table for 15 minutes and were not even acknowledged. The table beside us was sat after we were there for 15 minutes and were served drinks immediately. We tried to tag down a server several times. Nothing. We walked out.

What an awesome place. First off, I love the deco and vibe. Casual, with very attentive staff. The food is something else. Portions are generous, especially given that we stopped in for lunch. Chips were super thin and salsa was great. I love enchiladas, but they are often somewhat dry, lacking in sauce. The enchilada sauce was ample and quite delicious. We had planned to lunch at another spot, but it was closed. El Vallarta was close by and a very happy accident. We'll definitely be back. I've viewed the dinner menu, which is more extensive, and can't wait to try.

The service is great and the food is authentic! My favorite dish is the Enchiladas Supreme!
