Vallarta Express - Garnet

Decent fish taco! Son loved his chicken taco. Salsa bar was decent. I thought (green) mild was spicy, kid loves spicy food & thought it was pretty good too (better than (red) hot salsa. Has a great shaded outdoor eating area made letting the pups stretch their legs.2 tacos, $12.12. Not bad!

I hate to do it but this place is garbage late night... I'm probably garbage late night to even go hereThe food is so sloppy, tastes like items that have been on the hot line for hours and put on a flat top. Guac is watery as if it's been on a cold line that is under health code. Enchilada tastes like a cinnamon churro with raw cheese and when you ask the staff working they say "did he put too much" and walk away with no care in the world. On to the next crap drive though or door dash order slop they give out Service, quality and upkeep is non existent in this establishment

I do not have high standards when it comes to customer service at taco shops, but the service here is beyond terrible.I went to Vallartas for lunch and ordered rolled tacos and a shredded beef quesadilla, which was listed for $10.65 on the drive thru menu. When I went to pay, I noticed that the total amount was more than it was supposed to be. They charged me more than what was listed on the menu for the quesadilla. When I brought this up with her, she said, "I don't have that on my register". I mentioned that it was on the menu in the drive thru, and she said "it needs to be changed, there is nothing I can do". I am very disappointed in the lack of customer service and the fact that she knew it was a different price and, instead of telling me, just charged my card. Instead of fixing the error or even apologizing, she chose to tell me there was nothing she could do. I then proceeded to call the customer service number but have not heard back from anyone.

My friend and I had a quite a disappointing experience at Vallarta Express Taco Shop in Pacific Beach. I will never go back for a number of reasons. Despite being the only car in the drive through this particular night our order took an eternity. After waiting outside for 25 minutes as instructed, the food never arrived as promised. Upon going inside, we endured another 15-20 minute wait. Way too long to wait for an empty taco shop. In hindsight, we now know why it was empty. The chimichanga I ordered was unappetizing, with an odd-tasting sauce I've never encountered in Mexican cuisine. I generally like all the different flavors associated with Mexican food and sauces. This was the first chimichanga sauce I've ever met that I didn't like, thanks guys. The $5.35 each potato tacos majorly lacked flavor and my friend's chile burrito was deemed disgusting. The quesadilla barely had any cheese, we might as well have been eating a tortilla. After adding two drinks because we got thirsty waiting for close to an hour for our food our bill was $60.2 people, a taco shop drive through order, an hour wait & a $60 bill! Never again. Complaints fell on deaf ears, as the manager was always absent when we reached out starting from the first night to the last failed attempt to contact the manager days after this horrid dining experience. This pricey disappointment, bad food and the perpetually absent manager ensures we will never return.

Kevin is great! He recommended the cali burrito with adobo and it was to die for. Their refried beans are the best in SD as is their red sauce! Don't forget a side of hot chips and salsa!

Horrible service!, horrible hygiene!, and too expensive! They were not apologetic at all! Their service just kept getting worse & worse in just a few months, but THIS was a shock after being good customers for over 15 years! Neither of us chew gum & we don't have any children, they literally spat on our food! Unacceptable and disgusting! Having an autoimmune disease, this scared the shit out of me.

I eat here at least 3-5 times a week and tonight was the last time. Ordered a pollo asado burrito through the drive through at 1am. HUGE mistake. The chicken was so dry and overcooked I almost choked . There was almost no guacamole at all and the whole burrito was cold. I was starving and so I tried to suck it up and power through. I ate a few more bites before I decided to call it . When I rolled into the place a bit later 3(am) to ask for a refund. They refused. Claiming that they make everything fresh and that I already ate half of it. They said that they don't give refunds and that I have to call a customer service line. Acting like I'm the problem and that I should have not eaten half of it if it were so terrible. Their quality has been really off this year and the fact that they're 24/hours is the only thing that they have going for them now. Terrible customer service to not offer a real solution when your customer gets served a bad product.

Vallarta is always first choice for drive through Mex. Tostada Grande is freshly made, burritos are gigantic, plates are great. Love their classic refried beans, too. If it's not too hot out, try the caldo de pollo (chicken soup). Staff there is always nice. Eating outside is pleasant, thought we usually do drive through. Hope they never close!

I ordered a christian burrito with no guacamole because I am allergic to avocado and they still added it. On the receipt it even says no avocado. I couldn't even eat the burrito.

Rude worker at the front. She gave me a lot of attitude for asking for modifications.
