Authentic Mexican food, that comes out hot and fast. My taco trio (#42) with asada was amazing. The beef was tender, the tortilla was solid and tasty, and the green salsa was the closer. Great for a quick lunch or dinner on the way home or heading out. read more

I've lived in this neighborhood since a kid so when I say it's just as I remember please believe me! The bacon bean and cheese is so good and warm sweet tea is sweetened to the way I love it. I always use the drive thru but inside is your usual fast paced taqueria. The service is always great and friendly, the drive thru can get backed up but they work as fast as they can to get cars moving. Will always be back especially for the Taco Salad with asada!! read more

Thought everyone and everything was served great! It's always nice to come to a place and feel relaxed and not too hectic.

This is one of my favorite places to get a breakfast taco. Their tortillas are amazing and it always tastes fantastic. The staff is very friendly. They also have a drive-through if you need a fast meal. 10 out of 10 on this one. read more

Great service great food. Great atmosphere. Food was awesome. Everyone cleaned their plates!

This place was so good! Service was polite, food was delivered SUPER fast, and was delicious! High quality food. We had chicken and beef fajita meat, beans and cheese, tacos soft and crispy, asada and guisada. We were impressed. And bathrooms clean : ) read more

Great kind of hidden find! There aren't many Mexican restaurants that are actually good, open for dinner, near downtown. They all mostly only serve breakfast and lunch so when I found that this spot is open until 10 on most nights i had to stop by. Classic Mexican restaurant vibes and food. The flautas were thick! Probably the thickest ones I have ever had. They also have a drive thru and an extensive menu with a lot items. Give it a try! I will definitely make this a regular place to visit now that I know its open later and nearby. Whether to pick up tacos or get fajitas its all there. The only thing missing from this place is some margaritas. read more

A group of 10 of us went for a late evening dinner, the service was friendly and quick to seat us. The food was all enjoyed by everyone. The asada was tender, had good grill flavor and the queso had just the right kick, not too spicy and not too bland. Others loved the shrimp soup, tortas, enchiladas, and parrillada, etc. read more

Taqueria Vallarta - Asada with queso, sooo good! - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Taqueria Vallarta - Al pastor with flour tortilla. - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Good comida! The lemonade was my favorite and the restaurant was clean. One of my to gos since I got out.

Took the off beaten path away from the famous River Walk to find this wonderful gem several minutes outside of downtown. The homemade salsa is flavorful and spicy just the way I like it. Served with fresh corn and flour tortilla chips while waiting for the entrees. The Camarones a la Diabla was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Hands down, best I've had in a while. I could've done without the fries although they aren't bad. Do not overlook this place! A definite must try if you're looking for authentic Mexican food in the area. read more

So I went back and ate in two more time during my stay in San Antonio. The salsa but have just been off the first night. The salsa was so much better when I dined in. My daughter got the bean and cheese nachos and really enjoyed them. My friends son go the chicken burger. It was a huge grilled chicken sandwich. My daughter also got the barbacoa taco and they do not skimp on the meat. I also forgot to say the first night that the Borracho beans were amazing!! read more

Made a visit to this taqueria today and wasn't disappointed. The food is pretty good and the service was good. Good spot for tortas, tacos and more. read more

Great Food and Service best bean & cheese tacos, they also have a great salsa quemada my fav !!

Found this spot after a few attempts to other recommended places were packed or closing. The staff was so friendly even though we came in 20min before closing time. We ordered the beef fajita gorditas and they were decent. Seasoned well but came with a lot of onions (prefer a little less) and was juicy (made the bottom a little soggy if didn't eat fast). Rice and beans were very flavorful. Large servings. Restaurant was clean and spacious. Plenty of parking. Would come back to try breakfast or other dishes. read more

For visitors this isn't the type of food they serve up north, this is Mexican food of south Texas that I love. So for you California folks this is gritty south Texas style Mexican food. There is nothing healthy or el fresca about it. Barbacoa and menudo are a staple here. It's not in the classiest neighborhood but it's safe during daylight. Lol just joking. Park near the front door. The food is excellent and cheap. Taco Haven could learn something. You can't go wrong. For those afraid to step outside the box they include photos of what you might be ordering and trust me you will love what we call Mexican food here in south Texas. read more

Omg this is one of my absolute favorite spots in San Antonio. Incredible selection of food. I stop here every single time I am in town. Please do yourself the favor of trying the Cafe De Olla it is one of the best coffees I've had in my entire life. One of my favorite things on the menu is the breakfast chicharron con huevo taco it is so good!!!!!! 10/10 spot you cannot miss with this place!!! read more

Phenomenal food!!! We ate breakfast here and the tacos and menudo didn't disappoint!!! Freshly squeezes limeade!!

Amazing food with large portions but the vieja working the register will ignore you for no reason

When I think, "authentic," this is not typically what I'm going for: the burrito was covered in sauce & cheese (I didn't think to ask when I ordered), carnitas aren't on the every day menu (I might have to come back one weekend before I leave town), and they mostly serve tacos, burritos, gorditas, y tortas. So I was worried when I sat down with the menu. However, I decided to order the #21 Jalisco burrito plate, which comes with rice & beans; for my meat filling, I chose picadillo. I also ordered a chili con queso to start, and a glass of sweet tea. Despite my dismay at the sauce and cheese covered burrito, the filling was excellent. The rice was fluffy and not overly seasoned, so it was definitely closer to my mi abuela's rice than most places. I'd forgotten to specify I wanted charro beans, so I ended up with refried beans for the first time in a few years, and they weren't terrible - they could use a little seasoning, but I'll handle that at home with the leftovers. Also, I would have preferred to see pico de Gallo, or at least diced onions, instead of cheese on the beans, but overall, not bad. The tea was good - sweet but not sickening. Their house salsa is perfect - decently spicy (more than mild but probably not quite medium) and flavorful; the chips were okay - not particularly great, but at least good enough that I ate a fair share. The chili con queso could have been spicier, but I'll add jalapeno at home; the flavor was excellent. The picadillo was fantastic. I have 2/3 of my burrito in my fridge at home, and it'll feed me again tomorrow. I'll likely scrape off the rest of the sauce from the top and just serve it with pico de gallo. Sadly, since the burrito was smothered, I couldn't actually decide if their tortillas were any good. :( Overall, a good and plentiful meal. I probably would have rated 3 stars, but the service was quite excellent, and the team members I saw and spoke to were friendly and full of smiles - so that garnered an extra star. read more

Pretty good authentic food. Kind waitress. Basic Mexican food experience overall. Building is a little dated but clean.

I stayed in the area for business and ate here probably 6 times over the course of 5 days and me and my coworkers absolutely loved it! You cannot match the price and value you get with any other place around! Just today I had 3 huge breakfast tacos for less than $3..... Total! I'm stuffed! Not only that, they make their own salsa, hot sauce. They have three types. Red, green and brown. I cannot decide which one I love more. I like to eat and Mexican food is one of my favorites, so I've had my fair share of sauces. These 3 hands down are the best! Service was great. They speak mostly Spanish here but I was able to get by. They were very helpful. read more

Stayed in SA for vacation and ordered breakfast tacos from here. So yummy! The portions were a great size and price was great!!

Visited San Antonio on a business trip (I'm from L.A.) and made the short trip to Taqueria Vallarta to enjoy some comida autentica...my belly is thanking me. I ordered special #4 and it was perfect (carne asada taco, 2 cheese enchiladas, rice and refried beans. The menu has photos and is written in English so you can make a great choice even if you don't speak good Spanish. read more

Taqueria Vallarta - Special #4 (carne asada taco, 2 cheese enchiladas, rice and beans) - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We wanted to try some new place for breakfast. It seems like the place has been redecorated recently. One thing I will say right off the bat, is that it's a nice quite place, UNTIL the jukebox starts playing. Then it helps if your in a corner. Normally a hole-in-the wall location has some of the best food. Unfortunately, this was not one of them. I ordered the "Divorced Eggs" with a side order of potatoes (which were extra). If you like bland food I would recommend this plate. read more

The food here is amazing. If anyone ever asks me to go to a tacobell or a taco cabana again, i'll never go. Authentic food and amazing staff!!! read more

I love this gem of restaurant, especially the waiters they are always friendly and attentive, not only do I get to eat authentic Mexican food, but also our famous Tex mex. Thank you taqueria Vallarta for making me and tummy proud read more

I wouldn't waste your money eating here. The vibe and all is cool, typical Mexican restaurant but only difference is the food is better at 100 more restaurants in San Antonio. The worst carne guisada tacos I've tasted was from Taqueria Vallarta. Made my mouth dry, like I was eating crackers with no water, had to spit the meat out. In my opinion, go somewhere else. Downtown SA has plenty of options read more

I found this place quite by accident and I couldn't be happier. Everything my family and I have tried, and we have tried so many dishes, have all been sublime. Next, I want to try their salad and soup and I have no doubt that I won't be disappointed. All of the different staff that we've come in contact with have been helpful and kind, which is much appreciated. read more

really bad service went in with my family an grandma we were sitting there waiting for someone to come and take our order for about 25 minutes when all the girls were standing around talking to each other an some of the girls there made eye contact with me an still didn't come help or send someone to take our order I will never return to this location. I give no stars. I have to put a star but didn't want to. read more

Authentic Tex-Mex. the salsa is very tasty. Mixture of corn tortilla chips with fried flour tortilla chips. The queso and guacamole were on point. Cheese enchiladas, taco, carne asada, rice and beans all very satisfying. And since I hate it, I was so pleased not to see a single leaf of cilantro. Only downside: no margaritas . Oh well! read more

A very short review. Good breakfast tacos. Really good salsa verde and salsa roja. The pieces and ends bacon they use in the bacon and egg tacos is far and away better than 99% of the taquerias in SA; more flesh than fat. House made flour tortillas, crappy institutional corn tortillas. They have never screwed up a drive-through order. Ever. And that's saying something when talking Spanglish with a well-weathered speaker/microphone. Don't go out of your way to grab a breakfast taco here. But if you're still hungover, curb crawling for hookers on Hackberry, stop in. Otherwise, you'll find just as good in your neighborhood. read more

These are the best tacos in town. I use to live up the street and would get breakfast tacos from this restaurant every morning. Now I live across town and still make the 30 min drive to get Carne Asada with cheese tacos here. read more

Good food and nice service. Short walk from the Alamo dome.
