I ordered food online via DoorDash and it was the best! I had a chimichanga, a Tostado and a taco. It was the best I've had in a long, long time.!

Cute and precious colors Service was goodI've never had such poor representation of Mexican food in my 75yrs!Refied beans could have been poured out of the can. Cold, tasteless and just poor with no flavor at all.My pableno pepper was not fully cooked. Tamale could have been out of a can, too.Wife's taco meat was not eatable. Hamburger meat on chalupa was flavorless.Chips hard as a rock Queso was too enjoyAsked for a small bowl of pico. Got a large bowl and since we didn't get a breakdown on our bill, I couldn't tell what they charged us!!We only stopped here due to the foul weather prohibiting us to drive back to Tulsa.Absolutely the WORSE Cinco De Mayo dinner I've ever had!

The food is not good. I order a shrimp cocktail had no flavor. They just put ketchup and 5 shrimp. And that's not a Mexican cocktail. I do not recommend this place

One of the better Mexican restaurant in joplin. Lord knows joplin has as many Mexican restaurants as churches. I don't think the chips are homemade and y the salsa isn't anything special. The #4 dinner comes with burrito, 2 tacos, enchilada and a toastada. Easy more good than i could eat. Everything was good and hot when it came out. I got ground beef for everything. My wife got chicken enchiladas and they were good but the chicken was on the dry side. Everything was good besides the chicken. We will continue to come back.

Almost been a year since we were here! How did I forget to post a review???Inexpensive prices, great food and meal presentation.Large drinks, great service great tasting food. Other "places" advertising to be Mexican should come here for food preparation! Time for a trip back...

Super good value and super good flavors. I rotate between the enchiladas suizas and the enchiladas verdes. My wife gets this rice dish with grilled chicken and veggies...that one's super good too. Love this place.

We are so please El Vallarta is back, and better than ever after the fire! The ambiance has improved greatly, along with a menu revamp and it adds to the whole experience! Thankfully the menu appears unchanged, as some of my old favorites were still available! The service was wonderful, and our food came fast. The Emily Special is my favorite and was as good as ever-pro tip: add bacon! We will definitely be back!'n

Glad they're back after the fire. Same great food. Only complaint is the music. Too loud and poor choice of programming.

Nasty dirty dishes, except for the silverware which is weird.They for sure reuse the salsa bottles, because you can see old salsa where the bottle was poured before you use it.The salsa bowls are ALWAYS dirty and they have food stuck on them. The cups are caked with white film at the top. If you say something about it the waiters get angry. The only other problem I have with the place is the chips are hard, and ground beef looks gray and gross.
