Stopped for dinner on a Friday. We chose to sit back at the small bar, which was completely empty. I think the bar had maybe 5-6 seats. Someone came to make our drinks and drop off menus within 5-10 minutes of us sitting there. The drinks were made immediately. We ordered the queso with chorizo for an appetizer and it was brought out very quickly. The dip was hot and creamy and there were plenty of fresh chips to accompany it. For mains, I ordered a basic chicken and cheese quesadilla for $7.99. I opted for the grilled chicken vs. shredded and the pieces were pretty large. I think it would have been easier to eat with shredded chicken. My bf ordered the hawaiian quesadilla and said the added pineapple worked surprisingly well with the rest of the quesadilla flavors. My margarita was a jalapeño one served on the rocks. It was perfectly spicy and presented in a large glass. The service was friendly and attentive and the food was good. Would definitely stop back! read more

The nachos they bring you when u get there are from other tables with fresh ones put on top. We was eating them waiting on our food and half way thru eating them their was a have eaten one covered in dried salsa. Called it to be waiters attention and he did not care just took them away and not even offer to front fresh ones. Got the food shortly after and the plate had old dried food all over it. I told them to take it back and take off the bill. I was not eating there. No one came out to apologize or did they even care. DO NOT EVER EAT AT THIS PLACE. THEY STE FIRTY SND DISGUSTING AND REUSE NACHOS FROM OTHER PLATES LEFT AT OTHER TABLES. Someone from the city needs to really investigate this place and their practices. PLEASE DO NO EAT HERE IF YIU DONT WANT TO EAT LEFTOVER FOOD read more

It's meh. Got a burrito and it was merely warm, how does that happen? The waitress took everything (margarita, chips) from the table before we were done. Go to Taco Bell, at least it's hot. Won't go back... read more

Food here is amazing! Chips and queso are really good. Waiters are very nice. The only reason why I took one star from this review was the wait time. Would come back again soon. read more

It smells like road kill thats Been in heat for days terrible food was also cold and it was very expensive

Great food for the price and unbelievable service. Never disappoints. Establishment is clean and simple

Puerto Vallarta is one of the few Mexican restaurants around. Other than here it's Taco Bell. The food is extremely average. It's not awful or great. They have a buffet at lunch. About the only good thing is the buffet. It's here during the week for lunch. They have a pretty good variety. It's about $8 a person. They have hard and soft tacos. Proteins include beans, beef, and chicken. They have toppings like cheese, guacamole, and salsa. It's good for the Steubenville area. This would struggle if there was any competition. You have to go out of town to find better places. read more

Puerto Vallarta - Buffet - Mexican Near Me - Steubenville, Ohio

Yelp prompted me for this review, it's not tied to a specific visit. I try Puerto Vallarta once every couple of years and have been 7 or 8 times between 2008-2023. I really want to like it more but it's usually missing something special, like draft beer from the menu that came in a bottle, or a bold fresh quality flavor in the food. I often wonder if they served me leftovers. If I'm in the mood for Mexican cuisine, I either lean toward Chico Fiesta in Weirton or to make something at home. The service and atmosphere were always fine, but I expect a better quality food and beverage at the price point. I will visit it again soon though to see if it's improved. If it has, I will write an updated review. read more

Food was decent American Mexican food. Was a little pissed I called in my order and they didn't but it in until I got there.

My expectations were low, being from California where Mexican food was the best around. It met my expectations; it was bland, had no flavor, and the salsa wasn't even spicy. The staff was great, but the food was just blah. The cheese sauce we ordered for our chips had more flavor than the rest of the meal. My chili relleno had cornmeal in with very little cheese. Now where we come from, the relleno pepper is FILLED with cheese...and flavor. Won't be going back, ill just go to taco bell. read more

This authentic Mexican restaurant is nestled into the remnants of the once popular Big Boy's restaurant! Short and simple, if you want large and tasty portions of authentic cuisine at reasonable prices, this is the place you want to be! read more

This is the best Mexican food in the Weirton/Steubenville area. It is also the only Mexican food in the area, but it is good. They give you free chips and salsa. The chips are nice and thin. I wasn't impressed by their carnitas, but mine are exceptional. Another thing, I can figure their salsa out. Is it fresh? Is it canned? is it both? Their cheese dip is great. The following is a list of items that I like from their menu: Arroz con Pollo Arroz con Carne Grande Burrito #8 combo Tamale Flautas Taquitos Tacos Enchiladas You get the point. There are alot of things I still need to try. They have a huge menu and the staff is friendly, albeit not fluent. ;) They also have a great lunch buffet with many items on it. It's a great way to try a good bit of what they offer. read more

This joint serves the same Mexican fare you would expect from a typical rust belt city. It won't be the best Mexican you've eaten but it is good. The place is clean and the service was adequate. read more

Puerto Vallarta - The "Special Dinner". - Mexican Near Me - Steubenville, Ohio

i know absolutely nothing about what makes mexican food good and whatnot, but here are my thoughts regardless. the salsa was sweet (not terrible but not good.) the queso was yummy. (it's called "cheese dip" though which i found funny; but don't worry, the rice is sold as "arroz.") the atmosphere is nice in that the restaurant is spacious and well-lit. our food took a long time to arrive but there were like 16 of us so that was understandable. people say that this is the best mexican place in the area so i mean hey, give it a shot! read more

I've gone here multiple times, the only thing i really like is the ice cream, and the chips. It's fun to go on your birthday though, they sing in Spanish and put sombreros on your head. The music is always very loud, and so is the bass. Most of the food is sloppy and soggy, and i wouldn't recommend. read more

Came here for the first time. Was just okay. I've had much better. The food did not really have as much flavor as you would expect from a Mexican restaurant. We got two meals and our favorite part was the chips and salsa. read more

Great service! Always quick to seat me and get drinks. Seating and menu upgrade looks great!

We LOVE this restaurant. Have eaten just about everything on their menu and loved it all. Margaritas are FANTASTIC.....waitstaff is super friendly and so efficient. We are regulars and of course now have to adjust for the Covid mess. read more

This is a decent place. The food is always tasty but they always have fruit flies. This is a good indication that areas are not clean and they can breed. Not enough to keep me away because I am not too squeamish about those things, but still not ideal. read more

What a pleasant surprise to find a decent Mexican restaurant in Steubinville. The food and service is great.

Having spent 27 yrs in Texas, I know Mexican food...this place is the worst crap I have ever been served...I could not eat it...I ordered a buritto w/ beans, meat, fried onions w/ pico de gallo on the side...I got a cold tortilla, meat, raw onions, no beans, w/ lettuce & tomato inside. The tortilla was soaking, soggy wet on the bottom. When I picked it up, tomato juice ran out of it...what a mess...I ordered quesadilla con pollo...again the bottoms were soggy from the water in the bottom of the carry-out box...It certainly wasn't fried, it was a gooey mess...it had raw green peppers in it....The bathroom was absolutely filthy...You can't trust the kitchen of any restaurant that doesn't keep the bathroom clean...If you want Mexican food in Steubenville, goto taco bell or Weirton...lol read more

Kinda Authentic.....I guess...great service, good environment!......Food isn't amazing, but it's good. Hey it's honestly the only mexican place around so that makes it a Steubenville staple, and an experience at that! read more

My favorite place to get Mexican food...I love it. Never have to wait, is clean and always friendly. Not expensive either. I've tried several items on the menu and EVERYTHING I've ordered has been wonderful. read more

Food was very good, came to the table piping hot. Plenty of chips and salsa for the table - as someone else noted, the salsa is not spicy at all, which I remedied by pumping it full of the habanero sauce at the table. As with most Mexican places, the food is plentiful, too much for a single meal. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. The Fajita Texanos was quite good, but there were no jalapenos or other spicy peppers to light it up (again, hot sauce came in handy, although I'm not a fan of vinegar-based hot sauces). A little skimpy with sour cream and guacamole, but the waitress brought more upon request. Very inexpensive, too. Four of us ate there for less than $60. I don't like the fact that it's a chain restaurant, but it's a good one. read more

The only way this place could possibly stay open is serving underage. Worst Mexican food I've ever had. Horrible

The food and drinks here are outstanding! Love everything they put on the table. However, atmosphere isn't upscale by any means. For quick and good, though, thumbs up. read more

this place aint special, get some salsa, white cheese dip and drive over to weirton to Chico Fiesta for your entrees, no joke its is 3 million times better, cleaner, friendlier and all of their dishes are better. read more

We love the food here. We often either come to the lunch buffet or order food for takeout. Everyone is always very nice here, and everything tastes great! read more

Pretty good Mexican. Only really had the tacos but they were good. Better then any of the other options in this town.

I lived in Texas for 8 years so Mexican/Tex-Mex is familiar to me. The food here is very good to excellent. I love all the fajitas especially fajitas Mexicana which has beef, chicken, shrimp, and pineapple! The complimentary salsa and chips is excellent with the salsa being mild heat and blended not chunky. The lunch buffet is very good but you better get there when it opens if you want everything that's offered. They don't label the buffet food which is annoying. The atmosphere is very authentic, well lit, and they have flat screen tv's randomly placed with sports on but no volume. Puerta Vallarta could hold it's own in Texas so that's good enough for me. read more

Food is always good. Staff friendly and helpful. One of my favorite regular places to eat. The shrimp chimichanga is excellent!

I've been here a couple times but this place was horrible the last time I went. Had the taco salad with beans (instead of meat) and it was 60% water and pukey looking! I was gagging it was so nasty! Just a warning: If you're an even slightly attractive female, you'll have the entire kitchen staff popping their heads out of the kitchen to stare at you! It's really uncomfortable and happens to everyone female I know that goes here. Very unprofessional, I'd rather go to Taco Bell! The only reason I didn't give 1 star is because they took off the salad without hesitation and offered something else. Their margaritas are huge and taste great but that's the only reason I'd go back here. read more

Could not ask for better restaurant. Service is great food taste amazing wide variety of meals.......awesome!! Beer is modestly priced and the quanity poured into the cup is nothing to complain about read more

Its aite...for steubenville. Dont expect it to taste like your abuelas cooking though

I have gone their twice. The chips both times tasted like they were cooked in old oil. The items I requested on the menu were no longer available. I have eaten Mexican food in a variety of restaurants and cities. I find this place to be mediocre at best. read more

This was the first real mexican restaurant in the Weirton/Steubenville area. Food is very good and prices are reasonable. I used to eat there about twice a month, but the new Chico's Fiesta restaurant in Weirton is at least as good and only a few minutes from my house. read more

Every time I have eaten there, I have gotten sick afterwards. Only thing good is the chip and salsa,

I would like to know who the hell owns Puerto Villarta restraunt in Steubenvillle? I am a 61 yr old guy and the waiters have been making fun of me, and 2 weeks ago I was done eating and went to get somebody to pay my bill, upon doing I went to get them because nobody was there, there were 2 guys from the kitchen and 2 other waiters in the dining area where I was. They spoke in Spanish to me and it seemed to contain sexual overtones but I cannot understand much Spanish they spoke but thats what it sounded like. Then 2 guys from the kitchen started laughing and doing sexual gestures in front of me, I felt uncomfortable because the one was thrusting the other or acting as such in front of me and they did these sexual gestures twice and they were laughing and giggling in front of me to make me look and feel rediculous or whatever were trying to convey was not clear. I know there is a guy in the kitchen I was told who is gay. maybe another one 2 of them I dont know. Then the other guy made a sexual comment to me regarding how I was built and something about an ass and they started those sexual gestures once more! I felt really uncomfortable because I dont know who these guys are and I am not gay and never have been. I dont know all these waiters name but one. I dont who the 2 guys in the kitchen are but I'm sure 1 or both is gay.I am not and dont believe in that lifestyle at all. So I would say I was strongly sexually harrassed there. I dont know who the manager is of this restraunt and dont know who its owner is but if anyone can tell me or help me on this matter as of what to do, I would very much appreciate because these guys have gotten way out of hand and have crossed the line. I am 61 and I have a woman of my own. You can contact me by e-mail at-Doobie1973@hotmail.com Thank You: Lee M. read more
