El Vallarta Mexican Restaurant

As a vegetarian finding places with good options are hard in the Midwest. These veggie Fajitas are BOMB! You've got to ask for the spicy salsa if you like real heat.

We've eaten at El Vallarta several times, but this was our first visit since their beautiful remodel—and wow, what a transformation! The atmosphere is absolutely amazing—warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxed night out. To start, I had a margarita (which arrived with the most beautiful orchid on top!), and my husband ordered a Dos XX Amber served in an ice-cold frosty mug. We kicked things off with the ceviche appetizer. It had jalapeños, so I only had a few bites (I'm a bit of a spice wimp), but my husband loved it. For dinner, I had the shrimp and rice—so flavorful!—and my husband ordered the Tacos de San Jose, which he raved about. Portion sizes were spot-on—no leftovers, and not a single crumb left on our plates. We truly enjoyed our evening and can’t wait to come back again soon

Good food, doesn't come with everything listed. This is the second time ordering pick up and my plate is missing guac and other fresh produce. Disappointed. Ordering a specific plate for what it has and ended up with less ingredients than a taco.

Authentic and delicious Mexican dishes! Fresh and full of flavor.

Great food. Fun place for dinner parties.
