Looking for some place different since I get enough fast food at home. While I just got some breakfast tacos, I can only imagine what the rest of the food is like. The eggs were so creamy and smooth. And look at that chorizo grease in the pic! You know it's gonna be good. The green sauce is amazing. Has a small kick at the end of it. I would eat my shoe covered with it. Long lines both inside and in the drive thru, so you know it has to be a local fave. Quite a bit of seating for a small place. Definitely will be back. read more

Taqueria Vallarta - This is the Vallarta plate- 6 items! 3 different meats: taquito, enchilada, taco, tostada, tamale, and a carbone. Very tasty! - Mexican Near Me - Cuero, Texas

Amazing food!! Got the street tacos, a waffle dish, and chorizo egg and cheese tacos. All three were spot on.

Found this place on our way to Victoria for work and decided to stop on our way back to SA and let me tell you it did not disappoint. The staff was very friendly and I love when they recommend food options when I tell them it's my first time there. Enchiladas were on point along with the brisket and let me tell you the fried chicken was spectacular. My husband and I got the lunch buffet and tried a little bit of everything and it was all great. Would definitely take a weekend drive back down just to enjoy it again. read more

Nice environment. Clean tables & floor. The Brian plate was not spicy at all. Chicken quesadillas were huge. My mom enjoy it. People waited when trying to check out. Service was ok. No one ever checked back. read more

Taqueria Vallarta - Barbacoa taco - Mexican Near Me - Cuero, Texas

We came in to this restaurant hungry and looking forward to some good food and we were not disappointed. They had great customer service and even though we came in close to closing they served us with enthusiasm and once again the food was delicious, hot and fresh. I felt bad when I found out we were there after closing but they made us feel welcome regardless. read more

The food was hot and fresh. Definitely enjoyed the steak from here. The chips and salsa was also amazing read more

We stopped here twice on the way home from Port Aransas. Really good food! Tacos, enchiladas, shrimp diablo all very tasty. Staff is very attentive and friendly. read more

Stopped in on our way to Austin, and very glad we did. Very good food, and big helpings. Kids had breakfast which is served all day. Very reasonably priced. Service was good. Lots of tables weren't cleared for 30 mins or more. Wasn't pleasant sitting in the midst of dirty plates. That was really the only downside. I'd still recommend and will come back. read more

Taqueria Vallarta - The enchilada, taco, chalupa plate. - Mexican Near Me - Cuero, Texas

Great food. Breast Mexican restaurant in Cuero. I eat there pretty frequently. Breakfast is served all day. Great brunch too.

Food is consistently satisfying and the staff are all friendly The menu has lots to offer, I've tried at least 15 different plates. Everything was pretty good (5.0-7.0 on a 1-10 scale), but nothing has been truly impressive odor exceptional. The beef fajitas are reliably over cooked to well done so they retain the flavor and texture of leather,...so I recommend the chicken fajitas here The salsa is good (7.0) The tortillas are fresh (8.5) It's a good spot for a lunch stop or s quick dinner read more

Pretty dang great. Had the Vallarta chicken special and a shrimp cocktail. The "small" shrimp cocktail was Texas-sized, had diced jalapeño for that perfect kick and the shrimp were great! As for the Vallarta chicken, it had a nice light sauce, was moist and had a nice smokey flavor. The salsa and chips were average although the salsa definitely tasted house-made. Good stuff. Definitely a dive but totally delicious. They also have agua frescas, horchata which you can take to go. read more

See all

i absolutely love this place great food and service also has buffet in the mornings win for me and i will keep coming here

The food is exceptionally delicious and tha wait staff is friendly love everything about this place..

I've come here quite a bit over the last 5 years. The food has always been good, but stay away from the horchata. And if you are considering the drive through, just know that you will be waiting for a very long time. Everytime I come through the drive through, the wait is always upwards of a 30 minute wait. Note I only order for 2, 3 people. This place will always take their sweet time. read more

So enjoyed our two visits to Taqueria Vallarta while we were visiting Cuero. Friendly staff and delicious Tex-Mex!

Not a bad little place for TexMex food. Better than the other Cuero Mexican restaurants.

A descent Mexican restaurant with home style cooking. Food is great, service is great, and the restaurant is nice and clean. You'll enjoy your meal. read more

The tea was very good but the rest lacked. The chips were stale, the salsa weak and watery. We ordered queso and it was burnt. My husband ordered fajitas with no peppers, 1/2 the plate was peppers. The tortillas were hard and brittle. He had to break chunks off to eat. I ordered flautas. They were good but the beans were burnt, the rice overly dry, and the sour cream smelled off. read more

Being an out-of-town visitor, a searched for Breakfast Tacos did not find this Restaurant, but it did come up on a search for Mexican Food the previous evening. As I headed to another place found on my search, I knew I would pass Taqueria Vallarta on my way and would decide then. I came up on the place, saw it was open and with no less than four Black and White Trooper cars parked outside. This place had to be good. I walked towards the counter by the already supplied Breakfast Buffet Table to place a to-go order. Missed opportunity there. It looked pretty good with Menudo, tamales, refried beans, biscuits and eggs. I placed an order for 6 tacos of varies fillings. Standing at the counter I saw a drive-thru window. Missed opportunity number two. As I waited for my order, I browsed thru their menu, saw pictures of their many options which also looked pretty good. My completed order announced their arrival with a huge thud on the pass thru window as the morning cook set each on the counter. Waiting for my order I reminded myself to ask for salsa, salt and pepper. As the person who took my order (manager/owner?) brought my nearly five pound bag of tacos, I asked for salsa. He said it's all in there. It sure was, salsa, S/P and napkins. The order was made just as I asked. Barbacoa with Corn, Bacon and egg and Papa and egg in flour. Now for the good news. These tacos were outstanding! Lots of meat filling and little grease in the Barbacoa. Huge home made tortillas with great eggs, bacon and papas. Being from a large city, we cannot get tripa tacos which my wife loves (Health Regulations). Missed opportunity number three. If you're looking for great breakfast tacos in Cuero, pick some up where the Troopers eat! You will not be disappointed! read more

I've been here several times. They have pretty good service. I normally get the Mexican shrimp cocktail and guacamole. It's pretty good. Chips and hot sauce are good. And they make a really good green sauce they make in house from Jalapeños. Ice cold beer too read more

I recently went to eat here and I have to say I was greatly disappointed. The food was okay not the best but the shocking part was that I found a plastic wrap on my food. Once I let the management know, they told me they couldn't do anything about it and I had to pay the food, the lady was extremely rude. After about 5 minutes of arguing she finally said I didn't have to pay anything and she just walked away. No apology or anything. I will not be coming back to this place. read more

Taqueria Vallarta - The plastic I found towards the end of my taco. - Mexican Near Me - Cuero, Texas

I'm not from here but come visit my boyfriends family from time to time. The food in this town isn't always the best so I wasn't very fond of trying something different. SO GLAD WE CAME HERE. I had the enchiladas and my boyfriend had the chicken quesadillas. I tried one bite of his quesadillas and made him trade me. I kid you not these are the best damn quesadillas I've ever had. The enchiladas were pretty amazing too but wow. The chicken was perfectly cooked and crispy around the edges and so juicy and the cheese was incredible. We had their queso and it was so good too. This has got to be the best Mexican in Cuero. My new favorite when I come to town! read more

Melt in your mouth chicken tacos. Tres leches with the milky cream at the bottom of the dish. Best enchilada sauce. Huge meal, huge Mmmms and Ooohs for 2, $18. read more

Hands down this is the best place to eat in Cuero. I have been coming to this place for the last 3 years. The food is cheap and it taste DAM GOOD,plus you get your food pretty quick. The food Is even authentic. read more

I love this place, chicken for chicken fajitas is delicious. Was great to have such a good meal after cleaning up from the storms

We used to enjoy a good meal here, but no more. We had the worst meal, was cold, poorly prepared, poor quality and a BIG disappointment. Asked for the manager on duty, after a few minutes, he came from the back, with a mouth full of food. I explained the poor experience, and he said........"OK" that was IT! Tried to reach the owner, no success. My family will not eat here ever again. read more

We started coming here about three months ago, and we always have a large group of adults and children. Theres a good amount of seating. The service is good and the food is always really good. The beef enchiladas, tortas, caldo, and the carne guisada are our favorites. read more

Pretty good place to eat. The food is really inexpensive and the service was good. I never ran out of chips/salsa and my drink was never empty. I will suggest to avoid the queso. I've never seen an authentic Mexican restaurant that could mess up queso but they managed to. I tried it on three different occasions. Each time it just tasted like old cheese with some tomatoes thrown in it. My $6 taco salad was delicious though. read more

Awesome chicken fajitas. Passing through on our way to Port A and we stopped here. Very good food. Fresh vegetables. Very tasty chicken fajitas read more

The tea, chips and salsa were not good. All the rest of the food was great!

I gave one star because I had to. I witnessed owner being just plain rude to a customer. Their food was not made right and they wanted it fixed and while the server was trying to make it right, the owner said there was nothing they could do about it and oh well. Talk about bad customer service. read more

I live here and have been to this place many times,but the food wasnt the greatest Mexican food I have tried from other places. My food was cold ,also I had to wait an hour to get my food. The place wasn't even packed! read more
