Got charged for a different menu item I didn't order that was priced higher than what I got (what I…read moreordered was $11 on the menu and my bill said $16.99, no big deal, should be an easy fix). When I showed them my bill and the mistake they didn't seem to believe me. I even showed them the menu and the price it should have been and they said the menu was wrong. The manager tried to gaslight me into believing I ordered the one that was 16.99, but there is a clear difference on the menu description because the more expensive comes with a lot more toppings, my dish I ate did not have all those add ons. Why is it on the menu if it is wrong? Makes me think they are up charging people wrongly. Either that, or the stubborn manager just didn't want to admit he was wrong. Really unprofessional experience. I have come in here countless times over the years and was really disappointed to be treated like that after all the money I've given this place. In all my years of going to restaurants I don't think I've ever quite experienced something like this. I guess if I ever come here again I'll take a picture of my meal incase they try to upcharge me for something I didn't order. (I wont be back regardless)

My first warning was the decrepit sign over the door in a dilapidated strip center. But, as the saying goes, "don't judge a book by its cover." The food was good. Not great. My usual order is fajitas, this time a chicken, steak, and chicken combo. The plate was served sizzling. Served with 3 small tortillas and the usual fixin's. El Mexicano doesn't serve any beans other than refried, so, no option for black beans, pinto or borracho. The shrimp in the dish were perfect, the chicken was dried out and there were about 6 little strips of steak. The grilled onions and peppers were very good. My wife's shrimp dish was very salty. She prefers the interpretation of Shrimp Mexicana at others Mexican restaurants. And for good measure, because we asked for some lime to squeeze on the shrimp and they tacked on $2 to the bill. But what really resulted in my barely average review was the cleanliness of El Mexicano; or rather, the lack of it. You'll notice a yellow bucket that hangs on the wall in the dining room, yes, in full sight of diners. I witnessed a server drop something on the floor, grab a cloth from the bucket and clean the floor. Then, she returned the cleaning cloth to the bucket. Moments later, another server used the same cloth to clean tables! The health department would have a hissy fit if they saw this. Worse, when I mentioned this to the manager, he was indifferent. I know he understood me, he just didn't care. If the manager is so indifferent to such an obvious health hazard, I can't fathom what goes on in the kitchen. El Mexicano is a "one and done" for us.

We've tried the Jeffersonville restaurant, and with a coupon it was time to try this location. In…read moreJeff, I commented on lousy salsa. Here in NA, the salsa was thick, chunky and darn tasty. The chips were fresh, and not too thick. We were off to a good start. My wife ordered shrimp tacos. Three well packed tacos with a side of rice & guac. The shrimp were decent sized, perfectly grilled, and completely flavorless. Now, the fajitas. Just like in Jeff, Puerto Vallarta dices the chicken & beef rather than serving strips. A generous portion, perhaps lacking in onions & peppers, served sizzling hot. Again, only refried beans were offered. No black or boracho beans were available. And again, not a lot of seasoning for any special flavor. Puerto Vallarta offers lots of options on the menu. But, based on my two visits, the recipes need some serious tweaking to bring flavors forward. But if you like bland Mexican food, you'll love it here.

The inside is somewhat small, but clean. The server was very friendly and service was prompt. The painted art on the furniture and walls was excellent. I ordered a chicken bowl with rice, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream and on the side was red enchilada sauce. The chicken was wonderfully seasoned and I only was able to eat half of it. My husband ordered the Texana fajitas, which was a trio of meats (steak, shrimp and chicken). My daughter ordered a Grand burrito. We all left satisfied. I did not get a photo of the hub's or daughter's food before they started devouring them, but I did get a picture of my bowl.
