El Vallarta's Mexican Restaurant

We needed a fix of Tex Mex. Good choice. I had a tamale plate. Great flavors, not reeking of cilantro (l have the gene that makes it soapy tasting). Fresh was the pervasive theme of the meal-warm chips, totally pleasant salsa, not too spicy, just clean flavors. Service was attentive and courteous. I think Paul liked his plate as. Well. I was too busy chowing down on my tamales to notice! Beans were creamy with a smooth texture. Ran out of time to go back.

Delicious food, top notch margaritas, wonderful service, reasonable price, comfortable atmosphere.

Visiting family in Cleveland/Pawnee, and we decided on Mexican food do dinner. My husband's dad loves this place. He's a regular, and he has an all-time server, but needless to say, service was very good.I ordered the chicken enchiladas verde, and they were excellent. A surprising five stars! My husband's taco salad was good, but nothing exceptional, more like three stars. The white queso was a solid four stars. The restaurant was clean, and the food was very reasonably priced. I will absolutely come here anytime I'm in Cleveland!

Excellent food and service. Very clean, beautiful furniture and seating. We ordered enchiladas and quesadillas and the white queso with taco meat. Should have taken a picture. Our meal came out on large square white plates--beautiful!! Great service, Chloe was terrific waitress.Highly recommend! Large space-would be great for larger group event.

We are at El Vallartas before a football game this year and were satisfied with our meal. It's a very big restaurant and very wide open inside. Salsa and chips were provided, queso and guacamole are available on request and for an extra charge, which doesn't impress me when it comes to Mexican restaurants. I had the Carne Asada and it was pretty good. My wife liked it, but she found a hair in her salsa. Other than that, 4 of us ate for under $40 and the service was good also. Would probably stop there again.

Seated quickly. Drinks, salsa & chips, and then we waited 20 minutes to order. Several waiters and waitresses walked by, brought out other people's food. Yet we waited. Finally they took our order after we said something. No apology though. But they brought us more chips. But instead of just taking the empty basket and putting down the full one, they DUMPED the full one into the empty one and chips went all over the sticky table. Food came finally. Of course there was tomatoes on my burrito even when I requested queso instead of red sauce and 0 tomatoes. My drink was only refilled once, no one returned to check on us after that. No one seemed to be in charge. 2 other tables around us had issues with their food but none of the staff ever offered an apology. Just "I'll take it back". If you get what you pay for here, then it's way over priced.

The parking lot is full every time I drive by. Figured it was a good time to see what the fuss was about. We were greeted and seating within a few minutes. Chips and drink order were taken almost as soon as we were seated. So far this place has high marks. We ordered and enjoyed the chips and salsa. I always seem to finish my first glass of whatever pretty quickly. So my glass being empty instead of that unusual. But when everyone else's glass went empty and we hadn't seen our waitress since she took our order. She finally appeared from the back when our food was ready. She did get us refills as soon as she dropped the food off. My girlfriend and son both had tacos which they said were good and enjoyed. The beans we all had were flavorless. The chicken in my dish was under seasoned and the queso sauce was unimpressive at best. I'm going to give this place another shot and see if it wasn't just an off night though.

Their top shelf queso is the best I've ever had anywhere. We never don't stop there every time we are in the area.

Amazing food!! Came out fast and great pricing! Would absolutely eat here agin. 10/10

Presentation was good. Portions were large. Salsa was tasty. Chips warm but a bit thick for my liking. SIL ordered chicken nachos. Would've been much better with white queso, yellow queso, or both. I had the street tacos and thought I'd sample steak, carnita, and chorizo. I wasn't impressed with the steak and the carnita was dry and burnt; but, the chorizo was delicious. Rice had good flavor but was dried out and clumped together. Beans were an odd texture-half mashed and half whole. Guacamole was included on each plate which is a home run! Waiter was attentive even though he was busy.
