Taqueria Vallarta 2

Service was very friendly ! And the atmosphere was very cute for a tiny town ! Food was on point . Very enjoyable for a quick bit to eat

Good tacos. Tortillas are good. Eggs are good. Good hot coffee. Salsa was good. Waitress are nice. Nice clean booths. Restroom is clean too. Reasonable prices. Bacon and sausage were delicious.

Make sure your chips are fresh. I saw them toss old chips back into the container with the fresh ones. Truly freaked me out from comfortably snacking on their salsa and chips. Should NEVER be reusing chips... Anyways. My review is based on maybe the last 7 times I've been there the past year. This place is nowhere as awesome as they used to be. I grew up going here while camping at lake Corpus Christi, this was pretty much the only place we'd eat at. But since coming back here, it's struggling. Last year we tried like 4/5 times before finally giving up on them. The flavor just isn't there, they gave me some foamy nasty drink instead of a strawberry licuado the last time I went, the salsa was super salty lately, and it's just overall not worth it anymore. I went a few times a month ago, and still was t too happy EXCEPT for the tortas , which I did enjoy.

I'll start by saying the food is great. At least what I've had is. It lost a star for time and friendliness. I've gone multiple times now, once just for chips, queso and a tea. They take what feels like forever no matter what you order. For the above order there was no line and only a few people sitting at tables. It took them nearly 45 min. Maybe they had to melt some cheese. That's the only thing I can figure since I watched as everyone who came in and sat down after me got chips and salsa immediately. I ordered 4 potatoe egg and cheese breakfast tacos the time before and it took almost an hour. For their regulars, they are all smiles. For everyone else they frowned at them, me included and look at me like I am an idiot for perhaps not ordering ahead. Moral of the story, if you're not eating there; order ahead!

My daughter and I were in Mathis for a wedding and we had stayed overnight at a hotel in town. We had run into the Mathis H-E-B to get some things and asked some one "local" the best place in town for brunchy food. He quickly said Taqueria Vallarta. Locals usually know the best places to eat and I love Mexican food morning, noon, and night. Taqueria Vallarta serves Jalisco style Mexican food to be honest I've got to educate myself on Jalisco because its delicious. This little restaurant was packed but smelled so good when we walked in. There wasn't a clean empty table but the waitress said they had just been slammed with their morning rush and she quickly cleaned a table for us, brought us chips and salsa. I'm a salsa fanatic and usually will not come back to a place with terrible salsa. It really had great flavor. The menu had so many great options to choose from nothing overly priced. I ordered the Lady Plate it was just over $5 but had plenty to offer - cheese enchiladas, a hearty chalupa and a crispy taco. My food was fresh and full of flavor the tortillas were the best. So good! I just drank water so I cannot comment on any other beverages. My daughter ordered a torta with I believe barbacoa, which she said was the best she'd had in a long time. The waitress was very attentive and checked on us not to terribly bad about bugging us as we enjoyed our food. As we sat there the atmosphere was amazing. The staff was busy helping customers and getting their restaurant back in order they were very quick about it. If I ever have the opportunity to be in the vicinity of Mathis I would definitely stop in.

The food was excellent!! I came for breakfast and got the chorizo plate and it was great! Potatoes and retried beans were cooked perfectly! Definitely would come back when I'm passing by again! Friendly server as well!

Anyone that reads my reviews, knows that I have a criteria that you must meet when it comes to Mexican food in order to garner a five star review.This restaurant was a unique find a night trip back from Corpus Christi on a late Sunday evening when everything else was closed.The chips and salsa are very good the restaurant itself is older but clean the wait staff was very attentive and the menu has many choices. I noticed a couple downers had hamburgers and they look good but I'll stick to what I feel is their best assetI ordered the everything plate. For $7.29 you get a delicious enchilada a very substantial Chalupa or tostada whatever you'd like to call it, a highly seasoned, taco rice and beans plus guacamole. That my friends is the difference between a four-star restaurant in a five-star restaurant. I said it many times before and I'll say it again if you're charging more than eight dollars for a combination plate of Mexican food you have price yourself out of the competition. The food was all very good. I also had a small bowl of Menudo. Enjoy

I ordered bean & cheese nachos. The refried beans were tasteless and looked like something out of a can. Cheese was American processed cheese and I prefer cheddar cheese.

Breakfast all day! Great food, nothing Fancy, just good food, large portions, and good prices. Worth the stop. We were traveling back from Corpus and a fishing trip and needed a quick meal to get back on the road

Delicious food and friendly people! Migas and green sauce was amazing! Loved the home feel of the restaurant.
