We came here with high hopes based on the reviews of the food. Unfortunately we won't be returning…read more The restaurant is one room with a bar in one corner and everything echoes. That could be overlooked but there was a group at the bar who were shouting at each other instead of talking. We literally couldn't hear each other speak over them. To make matters worse, they were screaming profanities at each other as part of their "conversation." It was really bad and the staff didn't care This overshadowed everything. Would not recommend.

So I came back home this week from San Diego to visit the fam and eye balled this place last time I…read morewas home. Living in California now and being an Elite Yelper, I've explored a good amount of my authentic, mom n pop Mexican food. I asked my mom if she had tried this place and she said no. That was my cue to come on in and check it out! The restaurant and the store are both connected and I assume owned by the same people so after I placed my order for Quesabirria Tacos, I browsed the store to see what's good. In the store I found these fruits purée canned drinks (so good but hella sugar in them - which is fine too. Just don't say you weren't warned haha) and got like 4 different flavors (strawberry banana, guava nectar, and pineapple coconut). All delicious. Highly recommend. The service was good. The young ladies helped me pick out my drinks and were super sweet. Now, the quesabirria tacos...They're not the best but the meat was very tender and the price was very affordable so I don't feel like it was a waste. I would still go back and try other things. I feel there could have been more cheese and more flavor in the beef. My tortilla was also very soft/floppy. Like I said....I'd still come back and give them one more try!

As a fellow connoisseur of authentic Mexican and South American food this place has let me down…read more They recently started offering a lunch buffet and let me tell you I was excited , not many places offer this. But the last two time I went for lunch it was a major let down. The food is lacking seasoning and flavor it's just bland like they don't really care about how it taste . If you order off the menu stick to what you know even the meat is not as good anymore. On the other hand the chicharrones they make on the weekend are the best and my favorite highly recommend. And no this place does not offer chips and salsa it's not that kind of place

But, having just returned (for the first time since my original review), it was very different. I met a friend here for lunch. We set on the patio because he brought his dog. It's cool that they allow dogs on the patio. I arrived first. As soon as I sat down, I was served chips and salsa. The waiter then came over to take my drink order. When my friend arrived, he had his drink order taken immediately as well. We then ordered our meals and had planned on eating there. A change of plans occurred someone another meal and we were going to their place to eat. We changed our mind right as they were getting ready to serve our meals. They went ahead and boxed them up for us. They also brought my to go order. The waiter handled our bill quickly and efficiently. I'm giving them five stars for this review. I found no issues with the service, the environment, or the food.

The first restaurant we chose was closed, despite it saying it was open online, so we decided to dine at El Vallarta. They weren't as busy when we arrived, but the restaurant quickly filled up while we dined here. I really enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant. It was giving a vintage Mexican housing community feel. The service here was pretty good. All of the staff we encountered were quite friendly, even with our little one. Our waiter was also quite knowledgeable of the menu. The food was very good! This was the first Mexican restaurant I visited in Virginia, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The food, however, was absolutely delicious! The enchiladas rancheros were savory and well-seasoned. It doesn't come with rice and beans, but I ordered them on the side. Even the rice and beans were well-seasoned. My husband enjoyed his tacos and our little one absolutely loved the rice. We'll be dining here again when we are back in the area.

The service was great!…read more The amount of options, amazing. I ordered caldo de res and wasn't impressed. The broth wasn't flavorful, and I had one piece of corn, one piece of carrot, one potato, and one piece of zucchini. The potato was cooked thoroughly, but it was really grainy, had a horrible texture. Th zucchini was so overcooked, the only reason I knew it was zucchini was because I seen the skin floating in the soup, it was just a spoonful of mush at the bottom of my bowl. There wasn't much flavor to the soup at all, but plenty of meat. One of my favorite soups, but I wouldn't get it again at this restaurant. The dip had a wonderful flavor, but was the consistency of juice... couldn't pick it up with a chip. I poured some onto the chips but didn't do much good. When they brought out my rice, I poured what remained on top. My dates food was decent, but I forget what it was called. The drinks were good, but I didn't really feel the alcohol.

Should have read my previous review of this place b/c I ended up getting fajitas again (its usually my go-to). Ordered the fajitas pina, which was a huge pile of chicken, steak, and shrimp, topped with grilled pineapple. It was pretty good, but they overcooked most of it; maybe its because we had a big group. It's a huge portion and comes with all the fixings to make a great taco.

I actually found out that the same place is now in Martinsville which I've been too before as well but forgot the name.

My pollo felize was okay. My husband tried the steak bite lunch special and my nephew got an ACP add zucchini. The server was very nice . It started getting a little crowded as we were there but the server was still attentive and others assisted us as well.

The service was spot on from the time we walked in til the time we left. The steak tips I ordered were delicious along with the garlic mashed potatoes and green beans.

Good job Santana's!
