The food is always hot and fresh, especially the tortillas. The menu has a lot of options to choose from, but my preference is having an ice cold beer up at the bar. read more

Vallartas Mexican Restaurant - Ice cold Pacifico - Mexican Near Me - Craig, Colorado

It was very good. Salsa was exceptional. Service was a little challenging as the waiter did not speak English very well, but the food was really good. read more

Server was inattentive. Husbands ordered enchiladas and they came out cold, not room temp, but cold. When he told the server there was no apology, just a grunt. His plate was returned after being run through the salamander, now the food was lukewarm at best. I ordered Arroz con Pollo and asked if I could get queso sauce instead of red sauce. The server said 'yes' but failed to mention that it would cost an additional $3. It should be mentioned when there is an up-charge so the customer can decide. I would not have opted for the switch, if I had been informed. My meal was good. Our drinks were not refilled nor was the salsa. The ambiance is nice and the restaurant was very clean. It's a mixed bag. read more

Server was really nice and helpful with ordering. Decent fun place. The food was very average.

The chips were hot and the salsa fresh. The queso was delicious. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was fun. But as good as the appetizers were the main were absolutely incredible. I got a mixed platter and both the chicken and the beef were pull apart tender and seasoned perfectly. 10/10 would recommend. read more

No wait on a Friday evening. The staff was super friendly and the food was amazing. I am not a fan of Mexican food but my boyfriend likes molcajete bowls so we had to try it. We ordered a molcajete with bacon wrapped jumbo shrimp. My fav of all the molcajete that I have tried in North America. We also ordered two crispy rellenos, alarcarte. The portion was perfect for two. Will definitely return whenever we visit. read more

I'm only in Craig, Colorado for two days. This was day two. I picked Vallartas mostly because it's close to my hotel. However I was in the mood for chicken fajitas. The hostess that greeted me was friendly and seated me quickly. My server was also friendly. She checked on me regularly but not to much. The salsa was chunky. I liked that. The flavor was different than I'm used too. It wasn't spicy, was flavorful. The chicken fajitas also were not what I was expecting. They were not a traditional fajitas taste, in my opinion. They were good. I guess that's just the difference between Mexican food at home, Memphis, Tennessee vs Craig, Colorado. Over all time enjoyed my dinner and recommend you try Vallartas too. read more

As you're driving through north western Colorado, there is not a whole lot to eat in Craig Colorado. When I pulled off into this little restaurant, I was greeted by excellent staff and a clean restaurant. I ordered the Molcajete seafood platter, and it was very flavorful. The next time I pass through I will definitely stop off and see what else they have to offer because if it was as good as it was today, the next meal should be really good as well. read more

Vallartas Mexican Restaurant - Entry way - Mexican Near Me - Craig, Colorado

With one of the best families in Moffat County mixed with the best flavors and ingredients and omg! The service! This is easily one of the best Mexican restaurants between Dinosaur UT and Chihuahua Mx read more

This place has great service, ambiance, and food. The salsa is one of the best I have ever had. Highly recommend this place.

I use to come here while living in the area years ago but since then they had moved to a new location... so out of the tiny mall in town to a fresh and modern diggs..... very family focused and their staff continues with great service. Ambiance is festive with colorful walls and art work that provide a great atmosphere as ya enjoy your meal. Their menu is balanced with lunch specials and full dinner menu that includes chips and salsa at no charge. Full Bar and a few signature cocktails. I had ordered Chili Relleno and a cheese enchilada along with a Cadillac Margarita...... each was very tasty. Chili Relleno was not too spicy as some folks are not keen on spicy.... I use sour cream to tone down the spiciness if it's too much for me.... this time it was perfect level of spice. Enchilada had a light red sauce that was not spicy but good favor and several kinds of cheese ....also plenty of cheese. So my meal was perfect today. Again.... Mexican food here is good and the service friendly. BRAVO!! read more

The oysters were rotten would never eat there again And the tortillas were so chewy they were more like a tire than a tortilla

Been there now a couple times during my hunting expeditions nearby. Gonna break this down: Quality, the fajitas are the equal of any other Mexican restaurant easily. I remember fresh and awesome there. Chips and Salsa are both fresh, and loads of taste. Margaritas were an awesome balance of Lime and Tequila, and fair amount of alcohol in them :-) Prices: Fair for the neighborhood Service: On the ball with drinks, very friendly, earned their tips :-) Would do any time I'm there :-) read more

The food was ok, probably would've been better if I got what I ordered. I ordered a chicken combo meal and got ground beef. I normally would've sent it back, but I just go off the road (on a motorcycle) returning from Sturgis. I was batting a fly the entire time I was eating. Oh, and I had the waitress give me a beer menu as I ordered, but she never asked me what I wanted, so I drank water. I still left a reasonable tip, because that's the type of person I am. If this is the typical way a customer is treated, I would not recommend Vallarta's to anyone. read more

I was eating a chicken enchilada when I felt something in my mouth, I had this bone in my mouth! I spit it out and I'm so disgusted that I ate this, but I didn't want to start problems. I contacted the company to tell them about the situation, and they accused me of making it up saying they only use "boneless chicken" and it's "hand shredded" if this is the case than where did the bone come from? If you are dining with anyone whose elderly, children, or has a higher chance of chocking I wouldn't eat here read more

Vallartas Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Craig, Colorado

We were traveling through Craig and staying at the KOA. We asked a friend who travels there frequently for work for a restaurant recommendation and Vallarta's is what we got. I think it might be the Best Mexican food I've ever had and we eat Mexican food a lot. The green chili is out of this world. We ended up having both lunch and dinner there. read more

When I'm in Craig visiting my Si this is my go to Mexican food place. Try the Chile Rellenos or Chile Verde!

This came highly recommended from the hotel staff where we were staying. So here we go.... we walked in and were not greeted only asked how many. We were then motioned by a young woman who appeared to be having a rough day or she just has RBF? We were sat and she walked away. Waiter comes by 10 mins later to get drink order and again no customer service offered. I decided to go with minimal risk and ordered a quesdadilla. The taco meat inside was very wet causing the tortilla to be soggy. The waiter did not check back until we flagged him down. I would hard pass on this place next time. Try somewhere different. read more

Just overall the weirdest dining experience I've had, maybe better at a booth (probably just don't sit at the bar if you want the right food) read more

The first time we ate here they were still located in the old mall. Things have differently improved over the years. Fast service and all of the food came out together as well as hot. The flautas were filled generously with chicken and served with a good helping of beans and rice. The pulled beef burrito with green chili sauce was also stuffed generously. The queso was the kind made with good chilies and white melts cheeses, runny and perfect for dipping all the chips in. Salsa was the only thing I would say could use a little adjusting, it wasn't very spice and was more tomato juice than it was anything else. The iced teas was also fresh brewed not the junk from a soda gun. read more

I am giving this place 5 stars based on its location. If this were in Denver or any other major city, it would be a 4. With that being said... the food was really quite good for a small town, off the beaten trail. I had the Chicken Fajitas. The chicken was high quality meat, cooked very well, not very spicy, and almost sweet... The veggies were done well, plenty of red/green bell peppers, and the portion was large. They could have put more cheese on the "dress it up" plate for the fajitas... but over all, it was delicious. The staff was very friendly, and my service was spectacular. Even without a bartender. With me be a lonely traveling sales rep, I'm a bellier of a bar... I will come back next time I'm in town... read more

Great service, food and margaritas!!! We love the carne asada and guacamole!!! It's quick and inexpensive!!

Clean restaurant, sweet waitress, and delicious pollo asada! Fresh chicken char grilled, whole pinto beans, delicious guac. I ordered a side of spicy red sauce to pour over it and it was delicious!! My only downside it that while the salsa had great flavor it was really thin, I like my salsa chunky...chips were warm and fresh as well. read more

Vallartas Mexican Restaurant - Pollo asada comes with beans rice and a delicate tasted jalapeño - Mexican Near Me - Craig, Colorado

In Craig CO working, coworker suggested this place so I tried it. Remember it's Craig CO. I ordered the Vallartas ESpecial. A little steak, a little chicken, retried beans, Spanish rice and a chili relleno all on a huge plate. For sure enough for 2! I score a 6.4858. Tori did a great job serving me, the salsa is homemade and chunky so if your in this little town in NW Colorado........and have a hankering for Mexican food...........try it. read more

Open late. We appreciated that. Food was reasonable in quality and price. Staff was friendly and quick.

Great food, great service, everyone was nice and we got our food quickly. The prices were very reasonable and our server was the best. we were traveling from out of town and really appreciated getting some good tasting Mexican food. Very authentic, similar to what we were used to at home in California. read more

Really solid Mexican food. Tacos were good, rice was good, enchiladas were good. Nothing exceptional though. Just good and solid. Very affordable. So, good food at a great price. read more

Went to Vallartas on September 2nd while I was staying in Craig! This place has great customer service, clean environment, and handles your order quickly! When I say quickly, I mean quickly we ordered our food me with a super burrito and we got it in under five minutes! For a restaurant in the middle of no where this place is amazing!:) read more

While headed to Steamboat we stopped at Vallartas Mexican Restaurant in Craig. It set back off the road inside a pretty empty shopping center. Upon arrival we were immediately greeted by a hostess and seated. Served salsa and fresh warm chips. We ordered the queso as well, which I liked. The menu has quite a few options available to choose from. I ordered the fajitas quesadilla which was really good and easily could have been shared as I was only able to eat half. My husband ordered the combination (taco, burrito and enchilada with rice and beans). He thought they gave him two enchilada cuz he didn't taste a difference between that and the burrito. Overall food portions were big and tasty. My only complaint was I ordered a small cheese quesadilla for my 2 year old. Said I didn't need the rice or beans meal with it and I was still charged a meal price. read more

Vegan/vegetarian friendly place that is great for the whole family!! We always come here when we have whole family get togetherness because there is something for everyone. We are vegan and the vegetarian portion of the menu can easily be made vegan. It is also delicious. As with most Mexicana restaraunts- the portions are huge and the partner and I can share dishes and both be very full! The vegetarian chimichanga is amazing- worth a try for veggies and non-veggies alike, it is so good especially when you get to snack on chips and salsa beforehand. A meatless dish can be a less guilty, lower calorie-intake dish. Plus then you save room for beers or margaritas which are amazing! This place is on the main thoroughfare in Craig- but you might miss it because it's tucked away in the Centennial Mall- right across from McDonalds! read more

I asked a local for his recommendation for good food in Craig and he said, "Vallartas and get the carne asada burrito." Glad I asked. It is in a old mall building so if you're not from here just go to the mall and you'll see it. Not much for ambiance and if they were busy it would be loud. Friendly and very attentive wait staff too. read more

I have been here 4 times over the last few months. The first time was good. The food was good and the service was ok. But the next 3 times (we gave it a chance) the food was very average at best, the service was terrible - slow, wrong, and uncaring, so we finally gave up on the place. Drinks were average, sopapillas were good. We had a variety of dishes, rellenos, chimichangas, burritos, enchildas, tacos, and more. The beans were flat, the rice bland. The location on the hill is nice, but the restaurant inside is not very pleasant. The cement floors and kitchen tables are not comfortable and are noisy. While I'm glad the place is cleaned, the smell of cleaning fluids overpowered the smell of the food. read more

Wow! we barely had time to eat chips and it was good and plenty of it. Seated quickly, friendly staff and very attentive. #12 and super burrito were great. read more

The new location in the old Signal Hill Inn is fantastic! They really did a great job making it a nice, fun place with bright colors and an upbeat, modern atmosphere. I had my favorite beef enchiladas with chipotle sauce which had just a bit of heat and plenty of flavor, but not too fancy as Mexican should be. The service was prompt and friendly. We were seated on the east side with a great view over Craig as night fell. Bonus, the margaritas actually had a decent amount of tequila, which isn't the case at many places anymore. Can't wait for the patio I'm told they're working on. Other than Carelli's, my new go-to spot in Craig read more

My wife and I came in because this place is kinda off the beaten path.. have had ok service the past few times.. however today we got our chips and salsa they give you. And never seen anyone for 15mins.. mind you the place is empty.. finally we left a few dollars for the chips and walked out.. very disappointed in the service.. won't be back.. read more

It's fairly good. I don't like the ground beef. Has a bad consistency. Kind of mushy. And since they've moved their portions are small. Go to fiesta jalisco. read more

FANTASTIC FOOD. service is 95% perfect. cute staff. food comes to the table piping hot and quickly, I have never waited more than 20 minutes tops for food to arrive. very attentive employees keep the place spotless. I have never seen a table go longer than a few minutes dirty before someone comes out and gracefully cleans it up. price isn't bad either. this is a great place to take someone on a casual date or just a good night out. I have been eating here for about seven years now. their new location doesn't have the same dim ambience I liked so much in their location in the mall, but regardless the service and food are still just as good. read more
