Great food and service. the restaurant is nice always busy and beautiful. I would recommend it.

Happen to be in Miami and picked this Mexican restaurant to eat at after a wrestling tournament. Service was great. Food was also very good. I had enchiladas and so did my granddaughter. We would go back if we were up there again. read more

We love coming here. Food is always great, service is even better. We got there before the dinner rush and enjoyed it immensely. They have great prices on pitchers of beer too. Always warm & welcoming. Chili relleno was really good. read more

Great fast and excellent service. The food is wonderful and very satisfying,filling and good portions. Highly recommend it.

*** Review is during COVID-19 *** No masks worn except by one employee, who is at the front desk. So the servers who are in direct contact with customers and their food are not. This has been consistent over several visits throughout the pandemic. They are usually still pretty busy, even on weekday nights... so not easy to socially distance. Even when just waiting for takeout, it can be hard to stay away from others (who are also unmasked, of course) in the small entry area. All this is my main reason for lowering a star right now - I wish they tried a little harder to take some precautions. On one visit while picking up the takeout, the staff was pretty attentive and asked three times "how many?" even though we weren't needing to be seated, so kudos for that. And clearly (if it wasn't already), takeout isn't a popular choice there that they're used to getting people not needing to be seated... We ordered some queso, and the 16oz is a great amount for sharing. We usually even have a tiny bit leftover too! It's classic, cheesy, and not spicy. It's the white queso instead of yellow, which I usually prefer anyway. The salsa is very mild, not necessarily bad (though I'll admit I'm personally not a huge fan of it, because of that), just not a lot of flavor other than tomato. Last time we finally remembered to ask if they could put some of their spicier salsa in, which I like. Because the regular salsa is SO mild, the spicier one is quite a jump. It has that slight bitter (maybe cilantro?) flavor. I tried the pollo durango for the first time, because for whatever reason the combination of mushrooms and cheese sauce sounded good at the time (even though that's not normally something I'd pick over other stuff). It was alright but I do wish there was more cheese on it, especially with that being one of the main pieces of that dish. Honestly you could have told me they forgot it, and maybe they did. Luckily we had the queso we ordered for me to add to it. The chicken was a pretty good amount and I liked that it was in easy to eat sizes (more like fajita style) rather than one big piece like some places. I thought the mushrooms were very good with both a nice flavor and texture. I've also had the taco salad a few times, which is usually a good choice and pretty standard to what you'd expect anywhere. read more

Went twice to try to give them a second chance and was VERY disappointed each time food looked and tasted gross don't recommend

A great choice for a good Mexican meal. The staff is friendly and professional. They have an extensive menu with a good selection of beef, chicken, pork and shrimp dishes. The atmosphere is clean and well kept. I would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for their birthday policy. A word of caution, don't tell them it is your birthday unless you want whipped cream smeared on your face!! read more

El Vallarta Mexican Restaurant - Don't tell them it's your birthday! - Mexican Near Me - Miami, Oklahoma

food was okay. service was bad. the ambiance was okay. The only good part was the paintings. the food was cold like very

This place is your best bet for close to being authentic Mexican food!! Fajitas are good and big in size salsa and chips are ok more flavor then the other places in town well like the other places in town when they say beef it's hamburger meat not a choice of shredded beef like any real Mexican restaurant!! We also had combo meals of burrito taco enchiladas well beef burrito had only beef in it no cheese or anything it was dry taco was pretty good enchilada sauce lacked any kind of flavor or spice I was disappointed service was good place was clean still your best bet for Mexican full service restaurant in Miami for most authentic tacos go to either place in commerce read more

I think this place is great . The menu is extensive and service very good! Today was $1.99 margaritas and they did not skimp or water down. I had fajitas which were delicious. The place is clean and they couldn't be more accommodating. Give it a whirl.. you won't regret it. read more

I can say without a doubt, that each plate that came to our table, lacked any bit of flavor. I got the flautas,and the beef tasted boiled, with zero seasoning. The enchiladas that my son ordered were awful. No flavor. Took 15 minutes for one drink read more

My families favorite Mexican spot. All the employees are amazing and always know our order as soon as we walk in the door.

This is the place to go in Miami, OK for Mexican food on a Friday night!!! It was a Friday when I came in and boy was it busy. The place was seriously packed. With a baja Mexico decor with its bright colors was very inviting. Walking thru the crowd to my table I saw many Margaritas. I would assume they were good as I didn't have one. The service here was great. Albeit very busy our server took good care of us. The chips and salsa were good. Always a plus!! I had a burrito with chicken pork and beef and dude. It was huge AND delicious. It's not everyday you find a spot that will deliver quality and flavor whilst stuffing the farm onto a round foldable disc. I enjoyed my visit here and if back in Miami would totally dine here again. read more

Theyve never let me down in all thier years serving the town I love the staff too they're cool dudes ! I would say this is #3 in line of my favorite Mexican spots in Miami read more

Exactly what I would expect from a Mexican restaurant in Miami, OK. The service was great, and we all enjoyed our food. We had a big party that went in for a late lunch and there was plenty of room to accommodate us. read more

El Vallarta Mexican Restaurant - Combination #12 Chile Relleno (with tomatillo sauce) and a chalupa - Mexican Near Me - Miami, Oklahoma

I love finding little places that just have great food! Definitely found it here! From the icy cold mugs of beer to the fresh homemade chips to the fajita burrito!! It was all delicious! Very quick & friendly service too! read more

I have eaten at El Vallarta twice now and both times found the food to be good. The most recent time I was at a disadvantage since I was unable to eat anything to spicy. When my enchiladas came they had a very spicy sauce on them. I mentioned this to the waiter and he gladly had them remade. They came out with melted cheese on them which was very tasty. Overall our waiter was very attentive and everyone in our party liked their food. We will certainly go back. read more

Food was average tex-mex ... Way to much cheese and no stand out of flavor. Service was not great and they were not busy.

in town on business from OKC. Exceeded my expectations. Really good food, price and service. highly recommend.

Amazing workers, fast friendly service, delicious food and huge portions! My families all time favorite!!

Very delicious food, awesome customer service and great margaritas! I cannot say enough how pleased after visiting this place. The food came out fresh and I even had more than enough to share with a friend for lunch. HUGE portions and made with care. If you are in the area and love Mexican food, this is a MUST STOP place! Loved it! read more

Being from Arizona, I eat a ton of Mexican food. Good, bad, sketchy, I've had it all. This was the worst Mexican food I've ever had. Given its high ratings on both here and TripAdvisor, I had reasonably high expectations for this place, and expected something -- anything -- to be fresh, but nothing was. Maybe people here just don't know any better? The horchata was way too sweet and had barely any cinnamon or rice taste to it. It just tasted like very sweet rice milk. The salsa tasted bland and watery, and was probably from a jar. Not even a hint of spice to it. Things only got worse from there. I ordered a dinner special with a beef burrito, beef taco, and chile relleno. They offered me "red sauce or white sauce." I guess that should've been the first sign that something was amiss. The beef had to have been the lowest-grade beef I've ever had, it tasted like school cafeteria beef -- watery and bland. The waitstaff assured me it was real ground beef, but given that it tasted worse than taco bell, I'm skeptical, as my stomach started hurting almost immediately. Everything was drowned in white sauce (which I had asked for on the side), and so the taco shell quickly turned to mush, while the chile relleno developed a moat of congealed white sauce on it and also turned mushy. The white sauce, by the way, was runny and tasted like nothing. I made it about 1/3rd of the way through my burrito and managed one bite of my taco before I had to call it quits. The waitstaff was at least nice about it, offering me something else, but I declined -- can't imagine anything here is any good. Service is good, but that isn't much help when the food is this bad. read more

Not from around this area so we just picked this place. We had the fajitas for two and two drinks each and it was $34. Great price and great food. Highly recommend! read more

Best Mexican food in Missouri.....is in Oklahoma. We went here for lunch and I had no expectations. There were about 5 of us going so we decided to listen to a local and head here. The wait staff were very quick in getting our table ready and the complimentary chips and salsa. I ordered the Carne asada tacos and they were very good the beans were tasty as well. The meat was tender and the seasonings were above the average mexican joint. They seemed to care a great deal in the preperation of the food and it showed in the flavors coming through. The decor is very southwest and I thought I was in Arizona for a minute. It wasn't crowded as I think few things in Miami (pronounced Miama. don't get that wrong, they get real pissy about that) are. It was a working lunch and we were able to hear each other with the surrounding noise level and feel very comfortable there as well. The salsa is great and the service is friendly. I would recommend this little gem the next time you find yourself in sunny downtown Miami OK. read more

THIS PLACE IS THE BEST!!! The food is so so bomb and the portion is so big! I love them so much. The workers are friendly and even check up on you. Not to mention the interior design is flawless. It's very colorful and neat. 10/10 would come back! I got the pollo chipotle and it's SO GOOD!!!!! read more

El Vallarta Mexican Restaurant - pollo chipotle SO GOOD - Mexican Near Me - Miami, Oklahoma

This is one of, if not, the best restaurant in town. The staff is always friendly and timely, but they don't rush you. I eat here several time a month sometime with friends sometimes with just me and my small son. They are always attentive no matter the size of group. I've found many times at other places if it's just my son and I we tend to be ignored, not so here and I especially love that. The food is always delicious, hot, and fresh. I'm not a salsa eater myself, but I hear it's excellent from salsa fans, now if you want some pep you have to ask for the spicy stuff, the standard salsa they bring out is much more mild I am told. I personally ALWAYS order a large bowl of queso with my complimentary chips. It's hot, creamy, and has just enough spice for me personally(I'm not a burn my tongue out of my mouth kind of gal though) I always order something different. I really like their fajita meat so I generally lean that direction. I usually ask that they use fajita meat rather than shredded if it's applicable to the dish. The tortillas are always piping hot and soft, I could eat them solo. My son especially love their chicken with rice and queso off their kids menu, but if you have a finicky eater they have burgers and fries and the like for the kiddos. For girls night I order myself a margarita or strawberry daiquiri occasionally. It's hit and miss depending on who the bartender is(Juan is excellent) sometimes you end up with too much water mixed in there. I love the atmosphere it has a very southwest feel in the decor and beautiful murals painted on the windows. Not too cramped, but there is a coziness and intimacy to the seating area. It's never very loud, you can talk and there's not need to shout or strain your ears. I will continue to return again and again! read more

El Vallarta Mexican Restaurant - Pollo Fundido! Fresh, Hot, Delicious! - Mexican Near Me - Miami, Oklahoma

last year came in with 2 others made our orders, the 2 people with me got their orders right but mine they put the wrong sauce on my meal and told them so. they picked up meal and came back with same meal covered on top of the old meal. you could see the other sauce where they tried to cover it up. they tried to play it off but i did not like being lied to. have tried two more times and they either only give 1/2 of the beans and rice or forget the right sauce. will never give them a dime of my money the rest of my life.this last time they did not even get my order close to what i asked for CUSTOMER SERVICE IS DEAD AT THIS PLACE. have been to other mexican restaurants and NEVER had my order messed up. DO NOT USE read more

This place never disappoints! Delicious food. I am someone who never strays from what I know I like, but here I have tried a good 40% of their menu. Their chicken nachos are amazing, and the staff are extremely friendly and attentive. read more

I was in Miami OK and stopped for dinner and had the fajita Mexican Viejo $11.99 that was a sizzling fajita platter with chicken, shrimp, beef fajitas and chorizo. The food was great lot's of meet and shrimp and very little bell peppers and onions which is opposite of most sizzling fajitas plates. Came with three flour tortillas you can get corn tortillas with rice, beans, guacamole, pico de gallo and a little salad. Also had the appetizer queso dip white cheese it was good not a lot of flavor besides the cheese taste the chips and salsa we're good the chips were fresh salsa little runny but decent flavor. I was very happy with the quantity of chicken, beef shrimp and chorizo sausage it was served hot sizzling. The service was really good no probles. The waiter provided additional flour tortillas at no charge and I took half the meal homein a go box the meal was a lot of food for one person. read more

Out-freaking standing! Margaritas $1.99 were amazing at 7:30 on a Friday night. Delish! I ordered the grand fajitas with beef, chicken and shrimp. Served with soooo much food including grilled veggies. My husband ordered the beef fajita chimichonga. Perfect. Salsa needs a little more flavor but everyone views this different. read more

Like every other "Mexican" restaurant in this town its got the standard menu, and the standard bland taste throughout it. No spice really, but I guess they cater to the elderly customers that are regulars. read more

Salsa is delicious! I like the grilled chicken with salsa and cheese. Chicken pollo I believe. The California burrito is delicious to-but a more calorie option :) read more

This is probably one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. The food is fantastic, the service is quick, friendly, and VERY attentive, and the atmosphere is really nice. When you visit this restaurant, you feel almost like you're transported to Mexico and are eating at a nice little restaurant near the ocean. This is a MUST VISIT. read more

El Vallarta is an excellent restaurant. The service is friendly and quick. Even a party of 8 can be seated typically within 10 minutes. The food is tasty and not overly salty. The parking lot is too small, but this is a minor issue at best. I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good Mexican place in Miami. read more
