The rule of if you want a good steak go to a steakhouse has been broken. 16oz Aged Prime Ribeye served on a hot grill steaming. Comes with great sides. Most steakhouses everything is Ala Carte. Service top notch and friendly. Great atmosphere. Im real picky too. I worked in a restaurant. This is beyond good. read more

Puerto Vallarta - Fairfield - Roast pork, rice, refried beans. Caution with the rice- it's addictive! - Bars Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

Visited with a group of ~12 on a Monday afternoon and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. Several of us ordered cocktails, including the Hibi-Coco. What arrived was essentially a pineapple-shaped cup full of ice with barely any drink. We honestly thought the drinks had been forgotten. When we asked about it, the waiter added maybe a shot's worth more--still nowhere near acceptable for a $16 cocktail. At that price point, the drink should at least cover the ice. Food presentation was also odd. One person ordered lettuce wraps and received what looked like half a head of lettuce--almost comedic, especially since it came after she'd already started eating. On top of that, we were charged for extra chips that are typically complimentary, which didn't sit well given everything else. Overall, this visit missed the mark, especially for a group outing. read more

Fun place to grab dinner and/or drinks. Staff is friendly and attentive. They can answer whatever questions you have about the menu. Big selection of traditional and modern Mexican fares. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Great place to grab drinks with friends, dinner on a date, or have a birthday party. read more

Solid food, questionable service. We stopped in for dinner at around 5pm on a Saturday. It was fairly busy but not crazy. It took a good 10 mins for a waiter to come over. We ordered table side guacamole, which was good, but didn't see our waiter again until after we were done with it. It turned into a pretty long wait. When the food finally came, mine was nowhere to be found for at least 10 mins. The birria tacos came out eventually and were good, but they give you 4 little tacos for $24. Pretty pricey considering you can get the same elsewhere for around $15. It's a better restaurant for the takeout. read more

A large group of us gathered at Puerto Vallarta in Fairfield and we were accommodated nicely by the staff. The pollo union dish was delicious. It was wholesome and filling, equipped with rice, potatoes, salad, chicken, peppers, and onions. I would definitely order that dish again! Loved the complimentary salsa. Not pictured was the table side guacamole which was also delicious. read more

I love a good mexican restaurant with margs, so I thought I'd try out this chain while I was close by. First of all, the interior was so cute. Had some trendy light up signs but still artwork/murals that made it feel authentic, which the website claims to be. For my positives, the food was great. They served tostadas and salsa (I prefer chips, which they brought out later only because we got the Guacamole,) salsa was a bit hot, which I enjoyed, but not for everyone. Tableside guac service was nice, and it was a good portion for the 4 of my party. Served fresh too! I got the Guava margarita, which was DELICIOUS! I upgraded to a medium, which was not advertised on the menu, but it was $22, the small was $13. I also ordered the taco salad, which was a perfect portion and the cheese was freshly grated--tasted great. Now, my negatives. As said before, the guava margarita on the menu was $13, but the medium was $22. I asked our server how big the small was, and he said a little larger than the (very small) water cups we had, so I got the medium since I come to mexican restaurants craving a big marg. My second complaint is the service...my group said from the beginning that we were ready to order immediately. But after the server took our drinks, he said he will give us time. He brought back the drinks, and said he will give us more time. (That was fine with me since I wasn't in a rush, but it was a little odd. It was also memorial day with only 5 parties in the whole restaurant.) Once we got our food and finished up, we waited for our check. It took about 30 minutes altogether after we finished eating to get the check. I still tipped 20% but this service was a little weird. Overall, looking for another mexican place with this vibe but cheaper margs and better service. Let me know some recommendations! read more

*Brunch Review* The Fairfield and Danbury locations now serve brunch. So of course being the big brunch fan that I am I had to check it out. I was not disappointed! We started with the Mexican fried donuts "Dona's de Requeson" as an appetizer to share. They were excellent. I chose the tostados Jalisco with steak for my entree, and my fiancé had the Mexican waffle with grilled chicken. We were beyond stuffed and the food was amazing! The steak and chicken were both seasoned and cooked to perfection. We both loved everything. As always the ambience is great as the interior of this restaurant is so pretty, Instagramable if you will, with lovely murals, authentic decor, very clean and has an exceptionally friendly staff. Highly recommend for lunch and now brunch! read more

Incredible experience! Service Ambience Food All above great!! Couldn't be happier. Here's the kicker I got the Prime Ribeye. Probably the best I've had and it's a Mexican Restaurant. Served to the table with its own grill still Searing away. Came with a corn dish with potato's and incredible sauce plus more. It comes a bit undercooked to allow to Continue cooking right there in front of you and good n hot. Table side made Guacamole was great. Overall just a great experience and I'm a very picky guy who usually am not impressed. read more

I met a couple of girlfriends for an early dinner. We arrived to find that very few tables were occupied and so we were seated right away. The restaurant was still decorated for the holidays so it was quite festive. Our server was helpful and friendly however he disappeared quite often so we had to ask other employees for service a couple of times during our meals. Perhaps he was serving another table in another area of the restaurant. We all ordered different entrees after sharing a bowl of nachos and sauce. Two ordered shrimp dishes and I had the steak. My steak was well presented, was cooked perfectly and was tasty with the extra hot sauce served on the side. My dish was light on the vegetables with only three thin slices of grilled zucchini served with a generous portion of steak, black beans and rice. The shrimp dishes pleased my friends with one comment which is that they were not peeled so they had to work for the meat. The portions were generous and we all had to request the left overs to go. read more

This Puerta Vallarta is beautiful inside with great decor and we were warmly greeted and promptly seated. Our waiter was great, the food however was incredibly bland. And the normal chips and salsa to the table has been replaced with 3 pitas and salsa and it was truly awful. I had the taquitos lindos my husband the vegetable fajitas both pretty tasteless. My pomegranate margarita was really good. read more

Puerto Vallarta - Fairfield - Receipt of the 3 strawberries which they charge as tres leches!!! This is dishonest customer service - Bars Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

This was the best in the whole world. It was so good. and you have the best kids quesadillas

This was the most amazing restaurant I have ever eaten at! This felt like a Disney restaurant how beautiful the food was displayed, the sheer amount of customer service, and the flowers hanging from the ceiling beautifully tied it all together. The food tased as if the fruit was just picked, and the steak was raised in the kitchen. Everything was extremely fresh. All elements down to the lighting was on point. Please if you're in the area come visit this masterfully created restaurant! read more

I used to live in Connecticut and this was my favorite restaurant for Mexican food! Then I moved to Florida and visited CT again this week and couldn't wait to try this place because I love their arroz con pollo. It's great to see that even after so many years, this place didn't disappoint! Their arroz con pollo is the best I've ever had! (And I've tried plenty of Mexican restaurants). Arroz con pollo is their signature item on the menu and you should definitely try it! It comes with chicken prepared with mushrooms, green peppers and onions served over rice with melted Monterrey Jack cheese topped with their special tomato sauce and served with avocado and tomato. It's their tomato sauce that truly adds the unique flavor to this dish! See photos below. Another thing I loved about them was the fact that their dinner portions are huge! We also ordered the chicken carnitas and those were equally delicious! Chicken carnitas also come with their homemade tomato sauce, topped with onions and green peppers. It comes with rice and beans on the side too. Their margaritas were great! I totally enjoyed the whole meal because from start to finish, their service was excellent. It's one of my favorite Mexican restaurants and I wish they had a location in Florida! I highly recommend it. read more

My husband and I used to love this restaurant in the past 2 months we have gone and I have gotten severely sick. We went this past Saturday 8/9/25 I ordered the pollo asado burrito which came out cold and refried beans I ordered on the side tasted spoiled and cold. As soon as I got home I had to vomit the bit I ate as the thought of the food and how those beans tasted grossed me out. Unfortunately we didn't want to complain as we did not want to get our fabulous waiter Rafael in any problems. But we won't be visiting this place for quite sometime. Very unfortunate because it used to be one of our favorite restaurants to eat. When we first started going there it was always crowded now you are lucky if you see 4-5 tables taken. read more

Discovered Puerto Vallarta during the pandemic and had been regulars there ever since. Things had started slipping a bit so we stopped going for several months then tried it again a few months back. On return there was a new manager, named Amadeus and we noticed everything has been stepped up a bit. He is present, so friendly, and the whole feel of the place and staff seems to be higher moral since he's been there. Food order mistakes are limited, service is better than ever, and we love going again. Shout out to Amadeus and the whole PV team. If you haven't been, try it, if you have been but are one of the ones that stopped going, try it again, it's really worth it! read more

One medium margarita cost me $21. dinner was adequate, the customer service was very good. but I'll never go back there. Ambulance nice too wide open not cozy or warm. read more

Horrible experience at Puerto Vallarta in Fairfield tonight. It's understandable they're crowded due to Mother's Day, but it's wrong to be serving food that is cold and undercooked. I ordered a dish with shrimp, vegetables, and rice. The veggies were cold and undercooked and there also was a piece of cold butter left in my dish. Management didn't do anything about giving a discount or compensation for the food that came out so late. We waited over an hour for 5 dishes that STILL came out cold. They recooked my food slightly but it was still not good, now I have a stomachache. Also, there was no toilet seat in the Women's restroom. I made the manager aware of this as well, and he said it "broke this morning." Unbelievable lol. Like get a new one? And it was so dirty too! We will not be coming back. I have had better experiences at dive restaurants! I have been to other restaurants that have comped the entire bill for an inconvenience like this. read more

The food was plentiful, service was excellent, combination meals are the best deal. The shredded beef Burrito was very large, the enchiladas were similar in taste, the chimichanga was also very large . A 3 choice combination is $20. read more

I sent my boyfriend in there to pick up my uber eats order (chips and guac ONLY) and it estimated 10 minutes. He gets there and greets the people at the host stand who tell him "HOLD ON" rudely while they were playing around with something... they acknowledge him a few minutes later, he tells them he's there for the guacamole pickup... he waits 25 minutes in store. And they made it mild when we ordered medium :( I'm so upset. It was so expensive too. He said there was barely anyone in the restaurant. read more

The service and food are absolutely spectacular! I had the Churrasco, 7 siete mares, macho burritos. The service is like being home with family. The manager Freddy is amazing making people feel special and welcomed. He brought us some tres leches dessert and Tiramisu and that is equally amazing!!!!! read more

I had a fantastic experience when I visited Puerto Vallarta in Fairfield the other day with friends. The food was delicious, and our amazing server, Jackie, made the experience top tier. You can't go wrong with any of their margaritas - I had the one pictured and it was perfect. I ordered the medium size (they offer small, medium, and large) and I was very impressed with the size of it. All you need is one and you're all set for the rest of the night. TRUST ME. I ordered my vegetarian burrito without cheese and it was delicious. The beans provided a good amount of protein and it was filling. Jackie graciously split our checks as we asked and was very patient and prompt the whole time. Will definitely be coming back! read more

We visited Puerto Vallarta on Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and had quite the celebration! They had some really great specials, and all of the food was so flavorful and fresh. I really appreciated the presentation on all of the dishes and margaritas too! Our favorite was the Molcajete Tonala, which was just breathtaking when it came to the table. We love their tableside guac, and their desserts were awesome as well. We couldn't believe how big the cotton candy was! The Mexican flag shot that comes out on fire was a highlight of the night too. read more

Oh I didn't review? Boy, it might even be 5 stars. It's wonderful inside! They have done a fantastic decorating job throughout. Bar is large and such a great space as well. You wouldn't think such an amazing spot is located on horrible Black Rock Turnpike. Honestly, I avoid that madhouse at all costs, but now that I know Puerto Vallarta is here and how wonderful it is (better than the Danbury location, IMO), I'll take a breathe, grip the wheel and engage in the chaos of the turnpike. Look at that plaintain presentation! How cool is that? They had my fave KJ chardonnay on the menu, which broke my several month cleanse. And I ate like I had never eaten before happily stuffing my face. Everything was excellent. Highly recommend. read more

The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were excellent. Great environment and a great time overall.

Cool atmosphere not the traditional Mexican music playing. Food is good. Drinks are also good but pricing was iffy... I wasn't charged the price it said on the menu and they made some lame excuse so make sure you ask the prices. read more

This chain use to be amazing. My family use to go at their original location in Newington. The food was so good. We moved to Norwalk and have visited the Fairfield location on occasion. We went the other night, and let me tell you boy has this place changed, and for the worst. First, the whole menu has changed with exception of the fajitas. They use to give you chips and the best fresh salsa. Now they trying to force this really bland plate of 3 flour tortillas and some really bad spicy chipotle mustard. NOT GOOD! And we were not the only ones, everyone around us rejected this offering. The have ruined their menu, they use to offer some of the best pork tamales now their just cheese... Boring. Because if they I got the chicken fajitas. My wife got the chicken enchiladas in mole sauce. The chicken was boiled with no seasoning. Placed into a tortilla with NOTHING. The Tortilla was that was half chewy and half crispy and over cooked... so microwaved? Both of our dishes came with rice and beans. The beans were watered down and flavorless and the rice... the rice, oh god, I use to strive to replicate this rice at home... well it was god awful. It tasted like soap. We got the Mexicans street corn.. yea it was frozen corn, dry, flavorless absolutely not fresh. This place got too fancy for their britches and have absolutely started cutting corners since they opened the Stamford location. Not only will I not recommend this restaurant I will never return... such a shame this place use to be epic.. all I will have are old Memories, and those will be better than what they offer now. read more

Update- 5 months later The restaurant is still very beautiful and hip. Atmosphere is modern and inviting. Food still tastes really good and portion sizes are filling. Reason for losing a star is because of the wait time. From the time that I was seated to the time my drink/food order was taken was about 25 mins. This time around it was in for lunch the restaurant wasn't so busy, 7-8 customers so I thought the timing was really off as opposed to the last time my waitresses were eager to serve us. All in all I still recommend trying this location out, hopefully you don't have to flag down a waitress. read more

We had a great time, the food was amazing and the service by Jonathan M. was amazing. He was very attentive and his knowledge of the menu helped us decide what we were going to eat. He continuously came and checked on us, his support staff, was amazing also. I have visited other locations and this service by far was the best.

This place was very disappointing. First we were given literal whole fried tortillas with salsa. Idk what they were thinking with that idea. The food was okay not great, server was rarely available. But the real kicker of the evening was we were sitting at a booth with the sun BLINDING us. We all had to wear sunglasses during dinner!!!! Their best solution was to put menus on the windows to try and shade instead of moving us. Like seriously... read more

Want some bomb Mexican Food in a cute restaurant? This is your spot! I'm from New York, I was in CT visiting family and we randomly decided we wanted Mexican food. My first reaction of the place was that it is very cute & the drinks looked delicious! The service was truly amazing! Shout Out to our server ANDREW, He was very hospitable, we were a pretty big party and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience! We were watching him serve other tables too and he was doing his thing, running around, he was great! He made drink recommendations, took our orders fairly quickly and paid attention to little details The menu is ginormous, there are so many food options that it can feel overwhelming at first.. however, We all literally ordered something from different sections of the menu so I guess it worked out. The food was really good, we all loved our dish, We really appreciated that the food portions are very generous for the price! Even the food for the kids! Oh yeah, they offer kids menus and crayons for the kids to be distracted! We ordered Long Island iced teas & i believe it was called a Saul , which my family loved!! They have an outdoor area to sit at but the inside is also spacious and pretty! Overall, we had a really good time, left super happy and full, we would definitely come again!I posted the photos of all our meals & the full menu! Would recommend the Carne Asada! read more
