Casa Vallarta in Falmouth is a fun, lively spot that feels perfect for families, groups, or anyone who wants to have a drink or two and forget about inflation for an hour. The energy is upbeat without being chaotic, and it feels like a place where people are actually enjoying themselves. The food is good and tastes authentically Mexican, which makes sense considering much of the staff is as authentic as it gets. That always matters. Portions are generous, which helps balance out some of the pricing and keeps you from leaving hungry or annoyed. If I had one knock, it would be that prices are a bit higher than they used to be, but honestly that is everywhere and everyone is just trying to survive. Service was fast and efficient without feeling rushed. You can see why this place is a local staple and also a magnet for tourists. It knows exactly what it is and leans into it. And the drinks deserve a special mention. They are stiff in the best way and absolutely appreciated. Overall a solid choice when you want good food, strong drinks, and a night that feels like a small vacation. read more

The meals served @ this off season time were very obviously previously cooked , frozen then heated and served. The service needs improvement our waiter was simply rude and condescending. The dining area and bar area need to be separated in some way as we were seated right around the wall next to the bar which was too loud for my dining preference This was not my 1st visit to the area but definitely my last visit to this establishment. read more

This is a great place. The margaritas were wonderful and the salsa and bean dip were delicious. Lots of options for vegetarians as well! Reservations might be a good idea as it was pretty busy when we visited in early April. read more

Be aware when paying cash here!!! They will rip your receipt away and give you back what they want. When brought to their attention, you're told you can come back for your money, but they completely miss the point that they have thieves working for them!! What's worse is we aren't some tourists visiting, we live here!! They just lost a very loyal customer. read more

Casa Vallarta - Chile Verde - Mexican Near Me - Falmouth, Massachusetts

My wife and I were out shopping and found ourselves debating between Chinese or Mexican for dinner. Thankfully, we chose Mexican and ended up at Casa Vallarta--and what a fantastic choice it turned out to be! From the moment we walked in, the experience was excellent. Several staff members greeted us warmly, we were seated right away, and complimentary chips, salsa, and refried beans arrived at the table almost immediately. Our server started with drinks, and we couldn't have been happier with our choices. I went for the Jalapeño Margarita, which had just the right amount of kick, while my wife opted for a classic margarita with Don Julio tequila--smooth and flavorful. For dinner, my wife ordered the chicken fajitas, and I had the carne asada tacos. Both dishes were absolutely delicious, packed with flavor, and generously portioned. In fact, there was so much food that we ended up taking half of it home! Not only was our server attentive and on top of everything, but other staff members also checked in to make sure our dining experience was perfect. Their teamwork and care made us feel truly valued as guests. We highly recommend Casa Vallarta and can't wait to return for another great meal. If you're looking for fantastic Mexican cuisine and exceptional service, this is the place to go! read more

I had dinner and then lunch here in recent weeks and both times this Mexican eatery did not disappoint. The atmosphere is friendly and lively with plenty of seating and the music was set at the right volume for me. The server was friendly and knowledgeable and kept track of us throughout our meal. The meal came out piping hot and looking delicious. Before the meal they brought out a spicy salsa and a refried bean dip that was full of flavor in which I enjoyed it very much. I ordered the chimichanga with beef, rice and refried beans. it was very tasty and for a lunch portion it was just right for me. I would order this again. All in all, it was a good experience. I will come back here again on a future date and try other items. It's definitely worth a try. read more

The most delicious meals if you're looking for good Mexican food and total bang for your buck. We first got served chips with this unreal bean and cheese dip. I mean I was scooping that bean dip by the spoonful. I ordered a quesadilla for my meal and it came with all the good stuff-- lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes, and to top it off they gave our table 2 new rounds of the bean dip. I was in heaven. 3 of us got margaritas and they were HUGE and delicious. Fruity and made well. A Family-friendly place. All ages present on a Saturday night. Even with a bar up front, there were families with children eating in the back. The menu was absolutely massive. They truly have something for everyone here and it was inexpensive and the menu provided pictures. Music to my ears. Huge parking lot so no sweat on parking prior to your arrival. Open incredibly late for a fullblown dinner-- especially down the cape when most kitchens had closed at 9pm. It reminded us of IHop but Mexican restaurant style. Unreal. 10000% recommend. All I know is I will be returning next time I'm down the cape. read more

I also hate to give bad reviews, but this restaurant is very expensive for the mediocre food at best. I don't understand the palates of the people that love this tasteless, gloppy beans & rice with overcooked proteins. Just awful. read more

Bland and overpriced, but large portions. Service good for takeout but prices on line are FAR out of date.

Authentic Mexican food. The people here are nice. There are indoor seating and outdoor patio seating. Inside, the tables were spaced out (every other table) was filled. Chips & salsa was good (salsa was spicy) Cheese quesadilla was really greasy and grease was dripping all over the place. Chicken soft tacos were delicious and flavorful. The portion was very generous. Crispy chicken taquitos did not have much flavor but it comes with guacamole, sour cream and lettuce. I would come back and try the other items. The place was pretty busy around lunch time. read more

Food was ok at best. A bit bland, but nice portions. The service was just terrible. At first they were attentive, but our waitress never checked on us, never refilled our drinks, and forgot to bring our check. The outdoor area had really rickety tables and super uncomfortable chairs. They only has one highchair in the entire Resturant. I'd skip this one. read more

Friendly staff in a very busy restaurant. I ordered a margarita and fajitas. Worst margarita I've ever had and I sent it back. Thankfully, they didn't charge me for it. As for the fajita, it looked and tasted like a frozen dinner from the grocery store. The tortillas were fresh but nothing else. Only bright spot was we got right in when other places were an hour and a half wait plus. Next time, I would wait the hour and a half or get a frozen dinner from the grocery store. read more

The food always comes out in five minutes, hot, delicious, and well presented. Fun atmosphere, reasonable prices nice bathrooms, free parking. What else is there in life? read more

Fantastic and filling food (and drinks!) Great prices and a good atmosphere to boot! Fast and attentive service as well read more

This place is fine. It's got a good, friendly vibe. The staff are efficient. It does remind me of a Latin Disco though not a Mexican restaurant. The music is not traditional Mexican music. Many of the staff are from South America NOT Mexico. The bar is rectangular shaped with at least 4 flat screen tvs with a variety of cable selections (European or Latin American soccer is commonly on one of them!).They have a solid selection of Latin draft beer including Pacifica, Modelo Especial & Modelo Negro which is nice. There is a HUGE selection of Margaritas to choose from. I had the Presidente with lime juice & sour mix. It's was perfectly fine but not a craft cocktail. The exterior looks to be an old house with a burgundy clapboard exterior. They have a small outside deck with umbrellas & heated lamps for the chilly months. There is a handicapped access ramp. The interior is typical of a Tex Mex restaurant with all the colorful Mexican memorabilia adorning the walls. The food is fine. They have a good selection of dishes to pick from. They politely & immediately request your drink order & simultaneously bring you chips, salsa & bean dip to satiate your thirst & appetite while you peruse the menu selections. I steadily snacked on the chips, salsa, & bean dip which was fine. I settled on a Chile Relleno which is one of my all time favorite Mexican dishes. It was medium sized poblano pepper with a light egg batter & fresh melted cheese inside. It was good. The rice is pretty standard & okay. The enchilada was okay. The chicken meat was not grilled & the white meat was not very fresh. The soft tacos looked pretty good, particularly the Tacos a la Pastor. This establishment is run very efficiently. But overall this is a very average Mexican American restaurant. You can very easily grill steak, chhix, shrimp & make homemade tacos, burritos at home. I would skip Mexican on the Cape altogether. Honestly, there is no excellent & legitimate Mexican restaurant on the entire Cape. For that matter, there are not a lot of really good authentic ethnic restaurants on the Cape which is a huge bummer. read more

First time patrons here and it was fantastic! The food was delicious, the service was outstanding and the value was amazing! The decor is authentic Mexican. The tiles, the colors - it was bright and encouraging. The service was stellar! As soon as we reached our table a server was putting down salsa, bean dip and warm tortillas chips. Outstanding! Within 30 seconds a lovely waitress came over to greet us and take our drink order. She quickly brought our drinks, answered our questions and took our order. The menu is extensive and well organized! It has many options, but not overwhelming- really something for everyone. We chose shrimp fajitas and chicken mole. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and the vegetables were crisp tender. It was served with tortillas, rice, beans, guacamole and fresh salsa. The chicken mole was a very generous portion and was cooked very well. The mole sauce was good, however, it has peanut butter in it which slightly overpowered the flavor of the sauce. It was still good, just not traditional. It was served with Mexican rice, refried beans and salsa. We will definitely be back and encourage anyone visiting (or living in) Falmouth to come to Casa Vallarta. read more

Ambiance- Very nice decor! Vibrant and colorful. felt like I was in a beach town in México. Service- Wonderful service. I believe our waitress was Tamara. She was great. Whenever we needed something she was quick to get it and was super friendly. 10/10 service. Food- The appetizers were good. We enjoyed the bean dip and the salsa was okay. The margs were good. The food was also good. The portion sizes were really big! Which was good because we were very hungry. Overall, the experience was great and the wait was minimal on a busy Labor Day weekend. We'll be sure to go back. read more

Food was disappointing, very greasy and drinks were overly sweet. Slow service and overpriced.

The large queso is HUGE!! There was no way we finished it in 1 meal-And so delicious!! It reheats so well!

Average bad "Mexican "food waitresses and staff are friendly atmosphere is what you would expect food looks like dog food not very appetizing at all. Look at the reviews of their food on here. It's exactly what you get. guacamole is very fresh and chips. Pretty tasty to, and they make a good drink at the bar other than that, I'm not very excited about this place read more

The bean dip and chips are excellent. Aside from that the food is nothing special and the prices are very high in relation to the food quality. read more

Unbelievably amazing service and food. Just thinking about their satisfying spicy salsa sprinkled with onion and cilantro, creamy bean dip and bottomless chips makes me hungry. Loved that each person got their own little beaker of salsa and that the bean dip is free for each table. On top of that, I had the most delicious mango and chili frozen margarita which was perfect for my Indian taste buds. Entree wise, the taquitos were a little dry so I wouldn't order it again. However, the fajita burrito was SO good. It was seasoned to perfection, and served alongside delicious rice and beans. The fried ice cream for dessert was large and super filling. Overall, our waitstaff was super attentive, the atmosphere was fun and we were out of there within an hour even with dessert! read more

Take out on a weekday. Got a burrito that was ok. Could have used a bit more shredded beef. Chips would be better if they were thinner and heated. Staff is very attentive and pleasant. read more

Wait staff is super friendly- great atmosphere overall. Food was so good. The carne asada was cooked perfectly, delicious tacos and quesadillas, and the rice/beans were perfectly cooked. The guacamole and salsa were tasty! We visit the area every year and will definitely out this on our list to revisit. read more

Casa Vallarta is a local Mexican restaurant chain, with 4 Massachusetts locations and 2 in New York. It has a family feel to it. Even before COVID, they had ample outdoor patio seating with views of busy Davis Straits. Inside, the restaurant is colorful and vibrant. The service is attentive, friendly, top notch. What it lacks in spice it makes up for in color. Ironically, the complimentary chips, salsa&guacamole kickier than the main dishes. The salsa comes in a carafe; it's so good you want to drink it down. The Tijuana fish tacos (3 for $18.99) are messy and somewhat bland. The veggie platter with a Chile relleno and spinach enchilada (also $18.99) is slightly more flavorful. To their credit, they have several vegetarian offerings. It's OK. read more

Food is barely passable (2/5). The drinks are a good value I think (enormous and strong and I paid for the premium tequila and it was quite affordable--4/5). Overall, not high on my list for places that I want to go back. Service was fast and efficient (4/5). Atmosphere (2/5), it's got divey written all over it. The building is in much needed help...interior construction. I came here a little buzzed after having a few beers at Naukabout Brewery, it was a fun experience despite not liking any of their food. read more

This was my second time getting take out from this restaurant. Called placed order and told will be ready in fifteen minutes. Got there the food was ready. Ready to eat 10 minutes later the food was COLD. I mean cold as not even cooked. Had to throw the food away. Never Again!!!!! read more

I was surprised by Casa Vallarta, positively. Our party of six was visiting Falmouth. I am not sure about the others, but I had never been to the town, and, for that matter, I had been on Cape Cod maybe twice in my life previously, with a woman I dated circa 1992-1995, on again, off again. I eat Mexican food a fair amount, having live in San Francisco, and my wife (not the aforementioned woman I dated) likes it and wishes we would eat more. So this place was new to us, and I'd say it is unlikely we will patronize it again, because we won't be in the vicinity. If we were, however, I would go there. I write to offer a positive recommendation. We also were hungry. That renders any meal more utilitarian. Three of us had run a half marathon that morning. But we had a hearty lunch, and we had been snacking, so while we had appetites we were not so ravenous as to accept any sustenance set before us. The comment is more about the portion size, about which in a moment. When we entered the restaurant, I noticed immediately how full it was. This was early in the evening on a Saturday. It was crowded. It might have been every table was full; if not, just about. It is impossible to discern, with accuracy, who is a local and who is from out of town. I won't attempt to do so. Our group had selected the venue, because we were renting an AirBnB an easy walk away. When I use this platform, I am reminded how important proximity is to everything. I am persuaded by the argument for the fifteen minute city. I am baffled at the suggestion it is totalitarian; it is merely the case for mutual agreement to build our environment in a more sensible manner for the benefit of everyone, and it does not impose any limits on individual autonomy. For the two of us who walked, along a busy road, this was well under fifteen minutes. That also helped us prepare for the amount of food to be presented. That is what I wish to comment on. I am interested in how merit is judged. I am loathe to call anything "the best." The reason is I also am convinced, based on the research and my own experience, that there are many factors that need to be assessed, together, for any type of measurement of worth, whether it has to do with human beings as prospective employees or the experience dining out. You can have great recall but poor spatial reasoning or vice versa, as you can have terrific food and lousy service. So I favor balance. I am impressed by businesses that deliver a combination, such that while they might not be the best at this or the best at that, if you devised a formula with the weighting that a priori was determined (that is, not to produce a specific outcome), they would show superiority because of a cumulative total. That is what Casa Vallarta achieved. The quality of the ingredients and the preparation was better than adequate. The margarita pitcher(s) were tasty, with enough alcohol but not too much. The quantities of food were sufficient that two couples each split two dishes, i.e., four people and two plates. The burrito, for example, was the largest my wife had ever seen, and she declared as much. The table split the calamari and the guacamole. The salsa was appropriately spicy. The complimentary refried bean dip was creamy, sprinkled with cojita cheese, and addictive. The husband of the other couple ate that burrito, his half, so fast I was astonished. My wife is always berating me for eating too quickly, which I see as signaling pleasure. I looked over, and the other fellow consumed his whole meal before I had even had two bites. He explained he grew up in a family of six, and he said the mole sauce was rich and savory. My wife often invokes the theme of, were you raised by wolves, which I understand is a website where you can assess that. My wife and I split the vegetarian enchiladas. Spinach was the primary plant. I'd praise the rice. It was especially fluffy. The service was superlative. Everyone enjoyed themselves at Casa Vallarta. It was an excellent finish to a relaxing day. read more

I have been coming to Casa Vallarta for a few years and have never been disappointed. They are extremely consistent and you always get friendly staff, very fast service (food out in 10 mins or less after you order), a good bar, big portions and reasonable prices. Great restaurant and highly recommend. read more

In fairness, we did not stay for our meal. Upon our arrival we were seated on the back patio. Both my wife's house Margarita and my Paloma were sub-par at best. Chips and salsa along with refried bean dip came at the start. On it's face, good. The salsa may be acceptable to Cape visitors, but for those of us used to Mexican food from out west...sorely lacking. The salsa was thin and reminded me of Pace medium. We left because of this restaurants lax COVID standards. As we were seated, all was good. Then an family of eight arrived and we were crowded, moved over and then infringed on the next table. My wife mentioned she found the chairs and table tops "sticky". We offered to take our meal "to go", just credit us for our partially consumed cocktails. They moved us inside and continued the service. Once we realized they planned to continue restaurant service, we decided to leave. I really hate to stiff the establishment. I really don't like posting this kind of review. But other diners should know of our poor experience. read more

We stopped in to this lovely spot on our way into Falmouth. During the Pandemic we are cautious where we eat. We went as soon as they opened to be sure our table was clean. Everything was spic and span and there seemed to be continuous cleaning while we ate. They immediately brought out taco chips and a delicious bean dip. Our waitress, Maria suggested two wonderful dishes. I had the shrimp and bacon tacos My husband had steak tacos. The tacos were accompanied by lettuce and tomatoes, black beans and the best rice I have ever had! They also have the biggest margaritas! All in all a great experience. read more
