I love the Mexican food here. The enchilada are good. The fajita are good. The nachos are good and oh so cheesy. I go here many times with family in Poughkeepsie when I visit them. We love it. It is delicious. We have many family memories here. Decor is great too. Lots of fun stuff on the walls. Mexican music over the sound system. It's amazing. I've never had dessert here but they have fried ice cream and I love that. But the main course portions are so filling and large I never have room for dessert. Not that that's a bad thing. It isn't. Good thing actually. Thank you casa Vallarta for being amazing. Whoopdeedoo read more

Waitress was great and attentive to our needs. Drinks are amazing. I had their version of margaritas! Warning only have 2 of those lol. Great place overall. read more

This place is awesome! Super friendly staff, great food, huge portions, and an all around good time. My family loves coming here as our go-to place whenever we're in the mood for yummy Mexican fare. I would highly recommend their Casa Vallarta combo which includes a combination of 3 choices (enchilada, chimichanga, chile relleno, tostada, burrito, taco, or tamale) with whatever choice filling (cheese, chicken, ground beef, shredded beef, or shredded pork). I personally love having options and theyre all delicious so theres no wrong choice. As for ambiance, its fun and decorative. read more

God I love this place. Portions are HUGE and prices are fair. We always get a free tequila shot when we get our bill too ;) even the appetizers and salads are entree sized. They have an EXTENSIVE menu offering a wide variety of types of food, desserts and cocktails! Love the inside too it's very spacious. Service has never been bad either. read more

Love the energy of this place,great portions and amazing atmosphere There's barely any waiting time and unlimited chips and beans Most places charge like $13 ! The staff treats you like family and the service was hot and fast Would definitely be coming back read more

What a nice place! Our waiter was a sweetheart who brought us some very delicious food. My enchiladas were smothered in mole sauce, which I'd never had before. They were incredible. I will definitely go back there . Thanks for a great birthday dinner! read more

The food and service were good, but "BUYER BEWARE". Me and 3 friends ate there on 7/31, and we paid with 3 separate credit cards so we had 3 separate checks. Since I did not have an alcoholic beverage, my friends said they would leave the tip, and they left the tip for the entire bill. I put a dash through the tip line and totaled my bill. When the credit card statement came, the restaurant had added a tip on my bill even though 20% had been added on the entire bill by my friends. I went to the restaurant and spoke to the manager. He could not find the bill/s, and I did not have the receipt - only the 3 bank statements with the total that was charged to each of us. What was most disparaging was the way the manager tried to justify what had happened. He said that sometimes when there's more than one check and one of the checks doesn't have a tip on it, they may write one in because the servers, busboys, and the rest of the staff have to be paid. I asked him if he knew that was not only unethical but illegal. He said he did, but I needed to understand their position. He did say he would refund me the added tip, but I told him for my inconvenience, he needed to also give me a gift card, and that I would be leaving a bad review and reporting this incident to the Better Business Bureau. He stormed off, without refunding me, and told me to do what I had to do, and they would do what they have to do. My advice to you when dining at this restaurant is to always check your credit card statement to make sure there are no illegal charges. read more

A little disappointed with this visit. The bachata music is definitely NOT Mexican and a too little loud for lunch. Asked them not to put the rice under the broiler/salamander, in English and Spanish, it makes it dry and crispy. When the entrée arrived the enchiladas were tepid. We called the server over and told him. He took it back and a while later came back with a new platter; but with crispy rice! : ( At least the enchiladas were warm. read more

We were in the area and decided to come here. We have been here before. We enjoy the ambience and the food. Typical Mexican restaurant. They bought the dishes out and not a long time waiting. my dish comes with garlic sauce, mushrooms, rice and beans which I asked not to get since I don't like them in exchange I got the guacamole and salsa. It was very good. Very satisfied. I always recommend the restaurants that the quality of food is very good. I am not disappointed read more

I have frequently been to this establishment with my husband and I. We haven't hit "Regulars" status, but we are definitely fast approaching it. Casa Vallarta can be found in a small shopping plaza in Wappingers. There are other established shops in there that share the parking lot and it can fill up quickly. However, the parking doesn't detract from the great service, drinks, and food. The restaurant itself is decorated with bright and festive colors, its other Central American style establishments. Their selection of drinks is a two page menu spread of their different margarita options. I love flavored margaritas but I stand by the good ol' classic version as well and they make an excellent one! 9 time out of 10 I will order their classic margarita. Upon being seated, the staff will serve chips, salsa, and refried beans. I have had a few dishes of theirs; fajitas, their pork in salsa verde, the carne asada and a few pescado dishes. All are excellent! My all time favorite to order though is their chile rellanos stuffed with cheese and a side of guacamole. Most dishes come with a serving of rice and beans unless specified on the menu or requested by the customer. They are excellent at accommodating dietary restrictions. I ask to sub the rice (grain-free) for an extra side of beans. So if you're looking to try somewhere new that is guaranteed to become a regular in your restaurant rotation, definitely come try Casa Vallarta. read more

The atmosphere is traditional. The service is adequate. After eating here several times, I would say the food is OK. It would not be my first choice for Mexican food in the area. I will say that if read more

We come here all the time to eat in and to pick up. Very disappointed tonight, with our pickup. Two quesadillas were $40 and were a greasy, wet, soaking mess. The chicken was pink! It looked like they cooked the chicken in a sauce for another dish and just threw it into our quesadillas. It has never been made like this before. Terrible! We had to go home and put them in the toaster oven to make them edible. read more

Honestly, I didn't have any idea that this gem of a place was so close by and so good! We came here to celebrate my brother's birthday and we're glad we did. The food was good and plentiful, the margaritas were nice, the prices were reasonable, our server was very pleasant, so in summary nothing was negative aside from feeling the cold air when the door opened lol. We were a party of 6 and all got something different and we all enjoyed our entrees. The trio fajita platter, tres amigos special, seafood mix special, chicken fajita salad were soo good. I can't remember the names of the other 2 entrees. We had a very nice time here and would definitely return in the future. read more

I heard really great things about this restaurant and being that we love Mexican food, had to give it a try. We placed an order ahead of time and everything was ready in the quoted amount of time. The restaurant is within a plaza and has parking available. First off, I was very pleased that we received a huge bag of chips and salsa. It bothers we when we order Mexican food and they don't include it with take out but would offer it inside. I actually really look forward to that. The portions were definitely large. My fiancé's chorizo quesadillas were way too greasy though. The chorizo probably should have been drained before making the quesadillas because it was pooling at the bottom of the container where the quesadillas were sitting. I ordered enchiladas and they were okay. I have to admit that I'm very picky when it comes to Mexican food because I've had some really delicious food. It wasn't bad but I've had better. I'd be willing to give the place another shot and order a different dish. Maybe next time we'll dine in. read more

Great fajitas! Only thing that could be better with the fajitas is if they give you more tortillas with it initially as they only give two with the plate. Drinks are decent I would stick with their tropical flavors as a recommendation. Service was amazing thi I give their service 5 stars! Over all experience is really good, with good food and good drinks. read more

I haven't been inside to eat but I have door dashed food from there and it is so good! The Birria tacos were delicious and I had the queso dip as well. Portions are huge. No complaints whatsoever. read more

My wife and I love! This place. The food and drinks are always on point and the service is one of the best around we usually get Luis as our server and he's always great. The Tijuana tacos and seafood enchiladas are delicious you get plenty of food. read more

There is a reason why I don't care to eat at chain restaurants! Food is mediocre at best. If you go for the ambiance, and the drinks, maybe you will find it ok. As for the food; completely over priced for the quality as well as the presentation. Our waitress was very nice and apologetic when our food came COLD! She brought back the same plates that were most likely "nuck" for a few minutes!!! Tasteless, generic, Mexican food for the crowds! As for the drinks I cannot judge, but the lady sitting at a table nearby, Judge hers too sweet!! The restaurant itself is very colorful and pretty, the quality is just NOT THERE! There are too many "mom and pap" Mexican restaurants where you can eat delicious food, try them, you will be pleasantly surprised. read more

We didn't realize this place was a chain when someone recommended to us and it's located in a mini mall next to a Strip Club and my favorite Barber Shoo. We walked in to a half way full place but was able to pick a table. They delivered chips with salsa and watery retried beans which held us over until the huge margaritas came. We ordered Ceviche which came in a huge bowl and was a meal in itself or enough soup for two. My Carne Asada seemed all show with more watery beans and lots of rice and was very salty. We also got a bass which was the same all show with lots of rice. Save room for desert because the fried tres Lethe burrito was very delicious. We hit it off with the waiter who thru in a couple of Tequila Shots at the end which was a surprise as one huge margarita was strong enough for us. We hope to make it back when the Mariachis are playing cause I love the song Ay Paloma read more

The ambiance was nice, not unlike many other Mexican restaurants but it was clean. Large menu with all the classic options. They served us beans with cheese, tomato, cilantro and a medium spiced salsa with chips. I ordered the Tacos de Birria, the tacos were very tasty but were falling apart so I needed a fork. The rice was fluffy and the guacamole tasted fresh. The consumé was very salty, but very flavorful. The beans had a strange taste though so I did not enjoy/eat them. My mom ordered the White Chimichanga which was smothered in a cheese sauce. The chimi got really soggy for the cheese and my mom, who loves cheesiness, felt it was too much cheese. Took over. All in all it was a solid experience. The portions were hefty, it was just as you'd imagine. There are some other great Mexican food options in the area, but this is worth a try. Must say our server was very kind. read more

We drove over here for a late lunch, hoping that their dining room was covid-compatible. It was fine - booths were comfy and the spacing was good! (Our waiter's mask slipped down below his nose, but he adjusted it quickly. Hint: get masks that fit better - you shouldn't be touching your mask and then handling food and drinks.) We ordered drinks, and then they brought out chips with a warm bean dip and salsa. That was a lovely surprise and a great touch on a chilly fall day. He had a combo plate, and said it was really good. I had the chicken fajitas, and they were so good! The chicken and veggies were sizzling, and so incredibly flavorful! They were some of the best fajitas I have ever had! I even had leftovers for dinner the next day. The refried beans and green rice were also really good! We'll definitely be back! read more

Excellent clientele. Very polite & Kind. We ordered out a few times during the SLOW openings In our area. They give you SO MUCH food, it's enough for dinner and lunch during the week.

Service was great and the food was very tasty, too, while I was there this past weekend. It was my first time dining there, as was my wife's. The selection is rather overwhelming, actually, including the alcoholic drinks/cocktails menu! The menu layout itself is impressive with all of the large photos of the drinks and available food items. There really is a huge selection of both. We were served a complimentary bean dip prior to our appetizers coming out. We ordered the black bean soup and chicken tortilla soups, which were very generously portioned, as are the main entrees. Staff was very friendly, efficient and gracious. read more

Excellent food and service. Gracias Chino & Antonio. Mariachi music a couple of times a week

My husband and I went here randomly one night after shopping and couldn't have been more pleased. The service was speedy, the menu was absolutely plentiful, and the ambiance was perfect- not too loud with some typical Mexican themed music. The food was delicious and the plates were enormous. We would 100% return and recommend to others. read more

I have to adjust my review.If management isn't there food is horrible. My wife and I visit at least twice a month and have always been happy until we made the mistake of coming in before 2pm on a Sunday. I was served left over rice and beans from the day before and the seafood enchilada was soggy cold and made from a can. I am not sure if we wil ever go back and you could hear the kitchen staff laughing it up in the back. read more

The server, Tania, didn't check on us once. And then I had to ask another server to find her for the bill. Do better. read more
