I am a creature of habit for sure. So this place is a go to for me to enjoy some awesome Mexican food and great drinks. My son was in town so we wanted to show him the best of Mexican flavors. The atmosphere is always on point. Our server was awesome. He recommended things and explained the menu very well when we had questions. Loved that. I had a Burrito Bowl with Steak. OMG!! It was so good. The flavors were on point and it was packed with tons of flavor. I highly recommend this along with flour tortillas on the side. I also enjoyed a strawberry margarita. Yum!!!! read more

I really enjoy going to Vallarta's Mexican Restaurant. From the moment you sit down, they don't waste any time, chips and salsa hit the table within seconds, and your beer is right behind it. The staff is consistently quick, friendly, and on top of everything, which makes the whole experience easy and enjoyable. The menu is what you'd expect from a solid Mexican spot, familiar ingredients done well in a variety of ways. I always go with the #18 (1 burrito, 1 taco, rice, and beans), and it's the perfect portion. Every time, I leave completely stuffed. One of the highlights is when the mariachi band comes around. I once asked for "Rocky Top," and they absolutely nailed it, somehow blending that bluegrass vibe with a Latin twist. It was one of those moments that just makes the night more fun. The only downside, and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5, is the restrooms. They don't quite match the cleanliness and attention you see in the rest of the restaurant and could definitely use more consistent upkeep. Overall, it's a great go-to spot with fast service, good food, and a fun atmosphere. I'll definitely keep coming back. read more

Vallarta’s Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Wesley Chapel, Florida

Decided to try this place again and I'm not sure why we thought it was a good idea as this time was worst than the first time. I'm not sure where in Mexico the food here is inspired from but when you ask for a chile relleno here just know that you will get a plate of queso with a small piece of a green chile in the center. We were so confused! And then he brought out an actual chile relleno (just one when both of us had ordered one ) and told us that was the poblano.. I'm also not sure if the was miscommunication with my enchilada , but I asked for a cheese enchilada and received a beef enchilada covered in queso which was gross , no enchilada sauce. My bfs enchilada had the sauce but no cheese... we had both ordered the combo and it didn't even come with rice and beans as a normal place would serve it. And to top things off, the salsa here had a taste of like dirty dishes, it sucked because the first time we came here I did like the salsa for being a bland one it was decent. But yea ... this place can do a lot better. read more

The service is in the point. The restaurant located in the easy access parking lot. During lunch is not too many people. Lunch menu is available. I was debating to get the full carne Asada or Taco de Asada. Since this is my first time here. I decided not to risk the dinner price Carne Asada. I went for lunch special taco de Asada. The protein in the menu said grilled steak but I think more like pan stir fry. Overall food just average. Ambient is good. read more

Undoubtedly the best restaurant for Cinco de Mayo in Wesley Chapel. They had live music and an outside bar to accommodate the crowds. We waited close to one hour for our table, but a typical day would be much shorter. I went with the birria tacos and margaritas. Everything was pretty good. I'll be back again soon but definitely for cinco de mayo read more

Vallarta’s Mexican Restaurant - Tacos de Birria (3) - Mexican Near Me - Wesley Chapel, Florida

the old lady that doesn't know English needs to learn some manners while learning everyones first language! When we order we don't have a menu in our faces to tell us you have 30 different burritos either you explain or have someone who understand English take the order not be a snob and totally unprofessional towards customers who are paying their hard earned money on such a disgusting service!! my guacamole was already turning dark and I said no tomato nor no ice in my drink yet she was mad that we wanted a refund because we did not get what we ordered! read more

It's very hot inside the restaurant even the babies were sweating. The service was horrible. She barely came to check on us and took forever to bring what we asked. The food was okay but it's the typical stuff you see at every Mexican restaurant. Nothing special and not many taco options. read more

Every table receives chips & salsa upon being seated. The waiter is attentive and accurate. Service is quick. All of us enjoyed our meals. Portions are large! Vallartas always has a fun atmosphere. read more

Le doy solamente 2 estrellas porque el servicio fue lo único bueno ....... El mesero realmente se esmeró en conseguir y ofrecernos algo del menú.... Pero empezamos con que no tienen un buen menú vegetariano.... Y cuando opté por una opción el mesero viene a decirme no tenían eso disponible.... Bahhhhhhh' de veras que se me hizo muy difícil encontrar otra cosa.... Y el plato cuando llegó , el sabor insípido, no está bueno para nada.... Y el de mi esposo tampoco le gustó un burrito combinado, me dijo tampoco sabía bueno y el costo carrrrrro para lo que era, realmente no volvemos , NO RECOMENDADO PARA NADA. read more

I've been here 3 times now and can you tell by my photos what I get every time? Street tacos, yes. They're so perfect every dang time! Chicken is superior. Margaritas delish. Service was great the first two times, but this last time he never came to check on us and we were out of water before we got halfway through with food. Not cool. I'll be back though. Just keep those tacos consistent. Restaurant has cute Mexican decor charm. Ladies room has always been clean at my visits. read more

Nothing fancy here and the service is almost lackluster (at best), but it's still a good option for Mexican food in Wesley Chapel.

Necesitaba escribir esta reseña para evitarles a otros consumidores comer en Vallarta Wesley Chapel, Fl. Pedimos tacos con carne asada y Fajitas de carne también. La verdad jamás había comido una carne de tan mala calidad, llena de tendones! Que vergüenza que traten a sus clientes de esta forma. Había comido en Vallarta's Odessa, Fl. y la calidad de la comida es buena. Si ustedes no pueden mantener la calidad de la comida, entonces CIERREN. Pero no dañen la franquicia con carne de pésima calidad y con tal irrespeto por sus clientes. Nada nada bueno! Ni una sola estrella, tuve que poner 1 estrella para poder postear. read more

Food is great, Ambiance is nice but the service is really terrible Ben threes times an was refunded 2 of those because of bad service. Not what I was going for but that's their answer for everything. Don't try and get new servers just keep the old ones and let them keep costing you money. read more

Wanted to try a new spot. Nothing was good here unfortunately. The guacamole was a puree and spicy. Food was very salty. There was onions in a kids cheese quesadilla. The chips were definitely double fried. Service was good but the food was horrible. read more

Stopped by while my daughter was at cheer practice for a pre dinner quick bite and a drink. I got the margarita which tasted like dish water. The taco seemed to be premade and the shell was very soggy. My partner got the steak burrito and was very bland no seasoning. And the sauce on top was watery which made the burrito gross. We literally was here for 25 mins in and out paid left a tip and went to get more food. I'll never eat here again. read more

Street tacos taste like atmosphere (air with no seasoning). Not only was the carne asada meat not seasoned (or salted), the meat was so overcooked or old that I dropped a piece out of the taco and it sounded like a skittle hitting the ground. Also their birria tacos tasted absolutely not worth the calories. The tacos themselves were the same unseasoned carne asada meat with onions and cilantro in a flour tortilla. The problem is there is no cheese and the "oil" as they called it tastes like cilantro flavored salt water. The customer service was awesome and the environment was friendly. The food unfortunately just tastes unseasoned and old or overcooked. I'm so sorry to the business owners but stuff won't change if customers aren't honest. read more

Desgraciadamente fui a este lugar quería comer algo caliente y rico pedimos dos platos diferentes uno estaba más o menos bien y caro el otro más barato sabia muy mal cuando la empleada se acercó a preguntar si todo estaba bien , yo con respeto le dije que no que lo que estaba tratando de comer tenía muy mal sabor y se lo dije con una sonrisa honestamente, ella muy tranquila me contesto que eso me paso por escoger un plato barato !!!!

Vallartas had been our go to for 12 years, but the food and service has gone down hill. No longer the area Mex stronghold and will likely continue to decline until it closes. Will start going to Plaza de Mexico...it is a bit more expensive, but at least you get good service with consistent good food. read more

The service was nice chips were cold salsa was good tho but anything with cheese on it or in it was cold and hard we had a cheese enchilada and couldn't eat one of the 3 and we had 4 people it was over 125 dollars without tip read more

This use to be affordable but now they are way over priced. $17 for a fajita salad that last year was $13. Really. I know costs have gone up but this is price gouging. Wont be back. Service was terrible as well read more

Was very pleasantly surprised. I was expecting chain quality and got some of the best tacos in my immediate area. Street tacos were a really good deal. Also got a large margarita which lasted my whole meal. Definitely poured strong which was nice. Will 100% be back. The chips and salsa was also fire. I could go just for chips and salsa. read more

I've been a Vallarta's girl since the 90s. I used to live near the one in Temple Terrace, have a good friend who lives near the one in Carrollwood and used to go to the former location near the AMC Veterans movie theater quite a bit. But in all my years in the Bay Area, for some reason, this was only my second time here. It's in a strip mall, just east of I-75 along SR 54. (Very easy to get to off the interstate) There are several tables set up out front. Inside, it's divided into three sections-one of them includes the big bar. Each Vallartas is a little different but the decor, fab murals and menu is basically the same. I went for the three beef tacos off the a la carte menu (6.99) and a cheese quesadilla. After all these years (25+), all the food sort of tastes like home to me. It's consistently good and the service is fast. Even though I was running errands, I couldn't come here and not have a margarita. The one in the picture is a small, my friends. They do it up right! You should see the "monster" sized! (And yes, that's their name for it) To me, Vallartas is cozy and fun. The menu is large, prices are very reasonable, the happy hour is long (I think 2 to 7, but double check me on that) and there's tons of parking. I'm intrigued with a) the giant chair by the door for photo opps and b) the big bar. I'll grab the gang next time, investigate both, closely and let you know. read more

I'm a new resident to Wesley Chapel and has been exploring restaurants and bars in the area so I could take my friends and family when they come to visit me. Vallartas is number ONE on my list. I moved here two weeks ago and have been to Vallartas twice already. They make the most delicious Mexican food I have eaten in a restaurant here in Tampa. The portions are Huge from the Ceviche to the Papas Locas; these are appetizers but big enough to eat two people. The chef really deserves recognition for his art of making food. The Taco salad and the Burrito are really good . The MARGARITAS are simply the best and the 32 once glass is enough for those with low tolerance, off course i need two, lol. They are perfectly made with a kick. The food is freshly made and delicious The art deco is very traditional and well designed that you feel that you are in Puerto Vallarta. Since they make amazing food and great Margaritas there is always a line and wait time especially for dinner and on the weekends is approximately 25-40minutes. I suggest to make reservations or get there before dinner time. A must go to restaurant! read more

Vallarta’s Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Wesley Chapel, Florida

Food was good and tasted good. The server was awesome, I can't remember her name, but she was very nice and accommodating of my children. The environment was chill too. We ordered Fajitas for two and they were really good. Could have been a little bigger being that it was for two people. The only negative would be that the prices have been going up up and away compared to yesterday year. I'll post the menu and you can compare the old prices to now. read more

Best Mexican around Wesley Chapel! Vallarta's makes the best Margaritas! Never disappointed whenever we stop in.

Walked in at 2:45 Monday (after therapy next door... stopped in at least once a week for 4 months... not great service, but ok for fast food!) . Not a soul in the place!!! Host JUST sat us! NOT ONE WORD!! He immediately walk back to his host stand. 5 mins later... I stand and ask host for service. "Your server will be with you shortly." 3 mins later I stand and ask host for service. He repeated exactly. I said "we are the ONLY people here. We're ready to order.No chips, no water, no nothing, not even a hello!" He comes bolting over and says, "WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ORDER?" i sat with my mouth open (at his hostility), and then "he blurts out, "YOU NEED TO RELAX LADY! CALM DOWN!!!" My husband, Mr. LOPEZ, stood up and said "Enough...you wont talk to my wife like that!!!" We started to walk out as he is still hollering "YOU NEED SERIOUS HELP LADY!" I turned around to say to a young man walking from their 2nd room, who is the manager here??? HE SHEEPISHLY POINTED TO THE "HOST" WHO WAS YELLING AT ME!!! THIS WAS THE MANAGER!!! REALLY!!! You JUST lost a "LOPEZ" family of 16 plus... plus grandbabies. WE WILL NEVER BE BACK!!! NOR WILL I EVER SAY A GOOD THING ABOUT YOU!!! I was so upset, I sent a message to the owner. Crickets!!! read more

Omg delicious. I've been here numerous times and always a great time. The chips and salsa are great. The salsa has a little bite to it. I had the Mexican chicken soup. Very tasty. Lots of chicken and vegetables. The margaritas are humongous. Whenever we are headed to Tampa we come here. Service is always great. Great for families. read more

We visited on a our way out of state, looking for a quick delicious dinner near I-75 and found this obvious local gem. In a strip mall environment, with several food options, this place was full with big groups enjoying a Mexican meal on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. While we waited to be seated, quickly observed several orders being picked up for take out dining. Plenty of servers, plenty of tables and booths, and three dining areas make it feel cozy and yet comfortable. Tables and walls are brightly decorated but what captured our attention was the smells of the food. WOW! Servers passed us with arms full of hot dishes that smelled amazing. Seasoning is the key here. The menu is extensive and you will definitely find something that captures your appetite. Prices are budget friendly too! On this Wednesday dinner, tacos beef and chicken were $1.00. Personally, I went with the Pastor Quesadilla wanting to eat seasoned pork and the desire to use a knife and fork. I really didn't want to get my fingers messy, my server recommended this dish. Excellent choice. The pork was presented in a warm tortilla with cheese, and on the side was a heap of fresh shredded lettuce, a generous scoop of sour cream, guacamole and chopped tomatoes. The pork was chopped into small cubes and there was plenty to enjoy of it too. My husband got the steak quesadilla and that looked completely different than mine. His had two tortillas and only came with the quesadilla. This was a messy cheesy quesadilla and the steak was not seasoned. Actually it looked rather dry. So not our favorite, hence the 4 stars. The service was friendly, helpful and quick. We were seated, ordered, ate and paid in about 45 minutes. Great for when you are hungry, on the road, and do not want fast food junk. Great option and clearly marked for our future stops. read more

Man I can't get over the street tacos. I've been coming to this place for 2 years now and I can't help but always get the chorizo and queso and the street tacos. Anytime my buddy and I say Mexican or tacos this is the place we crave and we both get the same thing every time. Maybe one day I will venture off to other items. But they always say if it ain't broke don't fix it. Oh and how can I forget the endless chips and salsa! Also the quac but now I can't remember if it's the Vallarta or the other that's not amazing sorry just ask for the fresh one and not paste lol read more
