idiotic of me to think it will get better with time but no..no...no Sat at the bar area and no one came to greet us till good 5 minute has passed. one of the worker radioed that we are seated with no service. well, that started rolling things and ... as usual, food gets dropped off and that's the end of that. had to flag him down several times including asking for the bill low life alert: couple with kids finished their meal, asks for to go box. scrapes off what they had on their plate, stops by the free taco bar, looks around to make sure no one is looking, puts scoops of ground beef and all the fixing and loads of cheese. now, it's hubby's turn. he does the same thing but he is really loading them up. now, my turn to get some taco. so sorry. two dushbags already took everything including cheese and nothing left. wow, thanks for taking advantage of others. read more

Went tonight for the first time in a very long time. I found the chips had a aftertaste to them. that taste then seemed to carry over to everything. Was wondering if the oil was old or a certain brand or what. Still have the aftertaste in my mouth. Asked for water and a pepsi. The waitress only brought the pepsi.... Another waitress came by to see if I was ready to order.....asked her for a water- she never brought it. The water and the pepsi were served in the same glass... Then kept wondering why my water was taking forever as the waitresses chatted and chatted in the kitchen entrance and would glance at me... finally the chip guy brought the water after the group was done chatting. Just make the chip guy a waiter and everybody bring water and chips and clear the tables. The salsa- was competing with the flavor of the chips. The diced tomato and onion they served with it seemed not as fresh as Its been in the past and only worthy of a couple of bites. The burrito was ok- still could taste the chips or oil they chips were fried in..... Then the little fried desert thing also seemed to have a the same chip flavor residue. Was really looking forward to some good food for the start of my two days off. Just was really sad that I wasted my eating out dollars on tonights meal. This has been about the third time were the wait staff seems mad that you are there and the food hasn't satisfied. Guessing its time to knock them off of places to go. read more

When my sister and her husband took us to Casa Vallarta for dinner, I did not have high expectations, but found the food to be good and plentiful. I had the Expresso Burrito (delicious, stuffed full of chicken). My son had the Arroz con Pollo (a huge portion of chicken and rice), and my brother-in-law had a three enchilada combination (again huge). The service was attentive and excellent. The prices were reasonable. read more

Such fast service and our waitress was so sweet! Right away after sitting down we got brought waters, salsa and really good chips. I had vegetarian fajitas which were delicious. The mushrooms, corn, onion and bell pepper were j. a flavorful sauce. My sister got the flautas combination with rice and loved it! We shared a house margarita (which was ginormous) and it was strong and delicious. Our waitress kindly brought us complimentary sopapillas as dessert too :) Great food for great prices, we have leftovers for another meal! read more

My wife and I have been coming here for years and hands-down they have the coldest beer in town! the service is always excellent! and friendly it's like you're at home.they make you feel so welcome and treat you like Family.

I took my husband there for Father's Day 6/16/24. We ordered the fajitas for two and frozen mango margaritas. My husband is a picky eater but he absolutely loves the food. I've never seen him eat so fast. The waiter was incredibly attentive and kind. The took great care of us. We plan to be there on Broncos happy hour. Absolutely delicious!!!!! read more

Sort of kitschy or something? Maybe just Americanized. Margaritas were hit or miss depending on who made it. Some came out tasting pretty salty, for some reasons Top shelf tequila didn't seem to mark a difference either. Sangria is pretty tasty. Not totally sure what is in the sangria because it comes out rather purple and sweet but tasted good and I definitely felt the alcohol. I didn't have any dinner but friends seemed to enjoy what they had. Casa Vallarta also gives away a free cucaracha shot to everyone (of drinking age? That ordered a drink?) a combo of Kahlua and añejo tequila, I think. A surprising combo but fun nonetheless. read more

I would say this place is mediocre compared to other Mexican/Tex-Mex restaurants in the area. I had the mole enchiladas and the mole sauce was very chocolatey. My husband had the molcahete which did not come in a traditional molcahete bowl (it was plastic). Normally we're used to it being hot and still bubbling/steaming when it is served. They also topped it with what looked like string cheese? The flavor was good, but not the best. The drinks were great and reasonably priced. I don't think I'd go back but was glad we at least gave it a try. read more

We have been patrons of Casa Vallarta for more than 30 years. We usually dine in, but occasionally order take out as we did tonight. We ordered the 3 Enchilada dinner and the Chili Colorado. Both meals were half the portion we're accustomed to getting from this restaurant. Half the meat, half the beans and half the rice, but all the cost. The food was good as usual, but we were very disappointed. I don't think we'll be back. read more

I have been wanting to come to Casa Vallarta for months to try it. Today I was finally was able to, and so glad I did! In doing so I have found my new favorite Mexican restaurant! The location is very handy, right off hwy 83, and it's right near my favorite pet place, which also comes in handy. The ambiance is what you would find in a typical Mexican resturant in the area, but is not fast food. Our service, food and overall experience were amazing. We even got a complimentary dessert! We will definitely be back soon! read more

Overall, the food and service is good here. Just disappointed that they don't make pozole

I gave it two stars because the drinks were good but it was hard to get it the waiter to come back to order more. I can't believe the server and the kitchen would serve me the burnt chicken fajitas. They obviously can see before they served it to me it was the wrong freaking color. Oh well Time to vomit read more

Great food and atmosphere! Got ice water and chips as soon as we sat down. Huge portions and it was very yummy.

Great service, server was attentive but not intrusive. Chips & salsa good and light. All our meals (5) were delicious, hot and served together. Noise level great. Not too loud so we could hear our conversation. Venue is large and attractive decor. read more

I generally like Casa Vallarta...I think the chips are crispy and salty....love that they bring both salsa and pico de gallo (which I love). The food is definitely better at night (which isn't unusual). I often order cheese enchiladas with rice and black beans smothered in green chili and I've never complained. The challenge is that it often feels like they are unprepared to serve people or the restaurant is a little beaten down. Tonight when I came in, two teen girls were at the hostess stand dipping French fries into ice cream cones and didn't even look up to say hello....so...who knows!? read more

Im so surprised how high this place is rated. Food and margaritas were below average. Honestly the Margarita was pretty bad. Two of the three servers were rude and not welcoming. I would not come back. read more

Food not great but not bad. House margaritas are sneaky. Had 3 and got a good buzz going. So I see the appeal of this place. I had the chimmy #10. Bland but the alcohol made it good haha. I mean really alcohol makes everything better right? Even sex so why not food haha. Free tacos with a drink purchase, but I'd rather not. If you like margaritas (not a good as The Rio grand) and decent Mexican food come here. If your disappointed drink more and you will be happy read more

I have driven past this place about a hundred times and had a few people recommend it. It is one of those places that you just never end up going too, until recently. Bottom line: It is is OK. The good: Strong drinks, huge portions, pretty cheap prices and we had good service when we went. Plus there looks like there is a huge bar in the back with lots of TVs and they advertise specials to come watch football, if that sort of thing floats your boat. The bad: So the bad isn't really bad, it is ho-hum. The food was alright. It was a a very cheesy, very Americanized version of Mexican (I had a relleno, enchilada and taco + rice and beans). Nothing really had any heat (spice) and it tasted OK, but not special in any way. So I guess the take away on this place is, it is A-OK. I liked that you got a little sopapilla with your meal at the end (and of course chips/salsa to start). I wouldn't go out of my way to go back, but if I was in the area and craving a marg and some enchiladas I would stop in! read more

One of the worst places I've ever eaten. The salsa should be illegal to serve.all the food tasted like it was microwaved.only got a star because the beans were decent. But. Service was good. No complaints. Margaritas were worth coming back for(next door at the tequila bar). Giant beers. For these clowns claiming "authentic" Mexican food: Store bought tortillas Overcooked rice Poor poor salsa Queso(velveeta cheese with canned jalapeños and rotel) Sincerely, 3 southerners. read more

Large portions high prices. No taste. Food was pretty tasteless and all they have is a house salsa. No hot salsa. When I asked for one I was directed to the tapatio on the table. Service was very good and the atmosphere was great too read more

Meh. This place is a few blocks from home, so it's my neighborhood Mexican restaurant. If it weren't so close, I would never eat there. To give credit where it's due, some of their dishes are really very good. The burrito azado is nice. Most of their plates are the bland microwave-style dishes served at low-end Mexican chain restaurants in Texas. The service is worse than the food. It doesn't matter if we go during peak busy time or during an afternoon lull, I always feel forgotten by the servers. If I have to make an effort to find a server to refill a drink, or to track down my bill so I can leave, then the servers aren't doing their job. The experience stretches longer than it needs to, and makes the act of dining there a chore. I won't pretend we don't still go there, but it's mostly out of a craving for SOME kind of Mexican food and the fact it's so much closer than other options. If you live within 10 minutes of the restaurant, or if you really don't care about the food or service, then it's an OK place to try and satisfy that craving. Otherwise don't bother, save yourself the trouble, and let them gouge some other sucker. read more

This place is not bad. Its a little run down and could use a refresh, but its...well, not bad. The tequila selection is huge. You name it, they probably have it. The food is a bit disappointing. Its not bad but I expected better. The fajitas could have been seasoned better, but the portions are fairly large and the food price is decent. The tequila prices are a bit high, but most places won't carry the quality or selection of agave bliss that they do. The service was a bit slow, but extremely friendly. The dining room is showing its age, and while age is fantastic for tequila, its not so fantastic for restaurant carpet. This place is huge. It has two sides, a restaurant side, and a bar side. Each side could be a standalone business by itself. If you want great tequila and average food, this place is gold. Seriously, do you go to a tequila bar for the food? read more

SIMPLE PROCESS! 3 shredded beef chimichangas, black beans. Received? Shredded chicken (with extra, NASTY, dark meat) and was charged for original order. Same problem yesterday with a top shelf margarita. This place has become run by thieves. STAY AWAY IF YOU'RE SMART!!! Also, chips were bottom of the barrel and the food was disgusting. Definitely want my money back but they wouldn't answer. Will never be back. THREE STRIKES, YOU ARE OUT! read more

Was impressed very tasty food!! We both had the lunch special-#7 enchilada and chile relleno plate - (mine crispy, his soft/ ) I love the Spanish ambiance and the service was spectacular - My plate was delicious I love the Fresca cheese they used and the beans were fresh and texture was smooth - The red chile on my enchi hit my tongue perfect with the beans and rice- I would of had a marg if I wasn't going swimming - I will be returning because their ( al pastor tacos with queso cheese) looked absolutely mouth watering - I would give this place 4 stars but their woman's bathroom was below my standard- (I have a pet peeve when it comes to bathrooms) - Don't get me wrong they weren't terrible but hey my full review is based on everything - Hopefully next time it will look great I would love to add another star- read more

Picked up some awesome food to go. Ordered the Combination #7, which included a chicken enchilada, chile rellano, beans and rice. Great choice! The food was ready when expected and included a nice extra of chips and salsa. The serving was huge, and filled my plate at home. I added a little dour cream and some pickled jalapenos for a perfect meal! Muy delicioso!! read more

Been eating at CV for years. Great flavors and reasonably priced drinks. Happy Hour and NFL Sundays are fantastic. Take a look at how clean that kitchen is where food comes out lighting fast. Did anyone say a vast tequila selection? Delicious varieties. Staff is friendly and amazing. If you are a college football fan it's a hidden gem during NCAA Saturday's great place that has all the channels can get all the games! Great place to go! read more

NO KARAOKE HERE! They quit doing it almost 2 YEARS ago, but their web, video and outside sign say it's here. The food here is slightly above Taco Bell for quality. The service is also unreliable. If you want karaoke and very good Mexican food, go ¼ mile south instead. We've tried this place many times, hoping it'll be better and have the entertainment. We've even talked to the managers about updating their promos. So it isn't like it was just a one time visit or that we didn't try to give positive feedback. read more

Awesome food! Awesome service! Awesome price. They have a good lunch special also.. try these guys out. Full service sports bar also!!!

My favorite Mexican restaurant in town. The service and food are great. There is never a long wait to be seated or served. I eat there at least once a week. Their wings are amazing, the seafood dishes are fresh but the "El Patron" (Carne asada with bacon wrapped shrimp) is my favorite dish. I like to finish my meal with a sip of tequila. I'll see you there. read more

It just wasn't astounding. I felt that the flavor was mole sauce was too faint, and the rest of it wasn't amazing. I liked the chips and salsa a lot. Beautiful interior and fine service. It's just not.... The food isn't yummy enough to make me come back, you know? But I appreciated almost everything else, though. read more

Last night we all decided, we wanted to try revisit our old friend Casa Vallarta. It's been a year since the last time because the food was so-so. I ordered two Cheese Enchiladas, and they arrived quickly but, cold on a hot plate, that tasted awful. The rice on the side looked like they made it for lunch, with a piece tomato hanging on for it's dear life. I'm not sure why, we had to ask for every little thing, when there were an abundance of employees floating around. It's pretty easy to see, when the cat is away the mice will play. Pros: Special Needs friendly and the owner has been a big sponsor of Special Needs kids and adults. read more

Casa Vallarta - See the tomato looking think next to my old rice and tasteless enchiladas. So sad, this is the third time. - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

My family has been coming to this restaurant for years and they have yet to disappoint. This is the place to come to not only share a meal but also for a great happy hour and karaoke. Everything on their menu is wonderful! Be prepared for a large portion too as they will certainly curb your appetite. The Huachinango is probably the best thing on the menu, in my opinion. Unless you're there on the weekend then try the menudo. Whatever you decide, you'll enjoy. Not only does this restaurant have the best Mexican food in Denver, their service is incredible. Each staff member is friendly and attentive. If you're at a crossroads on what to order, they're the ones to ask as they always have great suggestions. Before you leave, if you have room for dessert, don't forget to try their churros or sopalillas. It's just the way to end your experience here. read more

I ordered (3) three take-out orders on 11-16-2023 @1:30pm ... (2) two taco combo meals and (1) one enchilada combo meal and experienced some of the worse Mexican food in a long time from this restaurant. I've noticed that when you order take-out meals from this restaurant the food is extremely bad ... I've complained to the Manager(s) numerous times over the past 8 years regarding the quality of their take-out food, but nothing has changed. On a good note, when you eat at the restaurant the food is typically good ... probably because they know the customers will complain and demand they replace the food, or give them a refund. The only way to assure you're getting decent take-out food from this restaurant is to open each meal and inspect them before you leave the restaurant so you can evaluate the quality of the food before you leave. read more

Great food and wonderful margaritas. Love the Pollo con Crema and so many other delicious meals!

I used to come to this place not because of the quality of the food here. I know better places. The only reason I was a customer is the short distance from my residence. But today I visited this place the very last time. All started from the security guard at the entrance addressed me inappropriately. I mentioned that if he continues this way the place may loose a customer. The door guy in response started to laugh and said that the place certainly will not survive without me. I left to my car but the guy started to yell that "my education is poor". That comment surprised me a lot. So I decided to inform the owner regarding the fact that his door man shows no respect to customers and allows unappreciated comments. The owner was attempting to apologize but the door man interrupted him and said to me: "this is another evidence on your poor education". So, you guys keep going with that nonsense, - replied. And the owner of the place did not even try to stop his employee. Ok, gentleman, you earned a comment, - I said and left. No wonder I do not recommend this place showing total disrespect to customers. I am the editor of largest Russian Newspaper in Colorado, established in 1995. We are the 128 pages weekly publication serving Colorado Russian Community encountering near to 100,000 population. This is my obligation to share this experience with the readership to save compatriots from possible frustration at this place that was far not perfect at the first place. After all, this place is strongly not recommended. read more
