    Taqueria Vallarta is a great little hole in the wall Mexican food restaurant. There is in-door and outside seating. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door.

    The menu board includes burritos, tortas, tacos, nachos, quesadillas, enchiladas and seafood entrees including shrimp, crab, octopus and fish. There are vegetarian entrees, daily specials and a variety of meat options. There is various bottled beers, Coca Cola products fountain drinks, margaritas and bottled sodas. There is a huge salsa bar with self serve chips, salsa, guacamole, veggies, grilled onions, etc.

    I ordered the super quesadilla with carnitas meat. It was excellent. It comes with guacamole, sour cream, and chunky salsa. Everything is fresh, served hot and was amazing!

    There is plenty of staff, the service was quick and the food was flavorful, a large quantity. Definitely will come back!

    This is my go-to spot when I really want some bomb mexican food. I've been here multiple times and I must say I enjoyed all of them.

    I always get their tacos. They're amazing. My boyfriend gets either a wet burrito or a torta and every time I've tasted his food, I always like his orders. The only thing I didn't really enjoy was when I got a regular burrito. It wasn't bad but I thought they put too much beans which made the burrito a little too mushy inside.

    What I really love about this place is the salsa bar. I mean it has everything you need. The best part? No charge. Some places have been charging chips and salsa and other things you may want your food. Their items are a little pricey but the salsa bar makes up for it.

    The restaurant is nice and vibrant inside with plenty of seating. Parking is not an issue. The people have always been nice. The next time I come back I'm definetely trying their plates and specialty drinks!

    Love the complimentary chips and salsa bar!  Lots of salsa and toppings to choose from.  However, the salsa is lacking some flavor like salt.  

    Food is okay here.  We had the carne asada platter - for the price the portion of protein could have been a bit more.  Flavor was there but the portion size isn't.  The chicken taco salad was a lacking meat.  The tortilla bowl was filled with mostly lettuce and not much of beans or chicken.  However, what was decent was the chicken quesadilla and the steak tacos.  The quesadilla was loaded with cheese and chicken.  The tacos were also loaded with meat.  Some improvements could be made however it was ok.

    My sister took me there she is frequent patron. We placed our lunch to go so I was expecting it to take awhile so I grabbed some fresh salty chips with their yummy chile. No more than 5 minutes and we got our order. It is good. I had their Caldo which had chunks of corn on the cob. Winner! The enchilada plate had the right amount of sauce with cheese melted on it. That's important for me. Not to much sauce. To much sauce makes the enchilada just tear apart. The decor were simple but had the Jalisco ambience. The Salsa Bar had your usual variety of chile sauces. Darn chips were fresh and salty!! Yummy. I'll go again but this time for dinner.

    Authentic Mexican in an authentic Mexican ambience, which was bright and clean. I love that. Simple! Loved my chile verde burrito and the chips & salsa bar, as well as the friendly service.
