El Vallarta Mexican Restaurant & Cantina

Nom Nom Nom!!! Delicious! A new favorite regular spot in my restaurant rotation...

This is hands down, the best Mexican restaurant. The service is phenomenal and the food never takes more than 5-10 minutes to come out, even when they are slammed. The salsa is to die for and the chips are homemade. Honestly, you can't beat this place.

We LOVE this place. It was our second time dining here. The first time was in December. It was a little slower then, due to the holiday, I guess. However, we were still seated right away this time. We were happy to see that they were busy. Our server was great. We ordered our drinks. When they arrived, we ordered our appetizers. When the appetizers arrived, we had to get his attention to order our entrees. I'm not sure if he thought we only wanted appetizers or not. Our section was really busy, so we understood. My daughter wanted me to speak Spanish to him, so I ordered our food in Spanish. The food here seems to NEVER disappoint. We ate the appetizers so fast, I didn't take a picture. We really enjoyed our meals and couldn't finish them, just like the first time. I'm sure we'll be back again. My son only eats chicken, everywhere we go, but he has asked to come back here again already. He enjoys the atmosphere. We all do.

I recently visited El Vallarta Mexican Restaurant & Cantina with a large group, and it was a delightful experience overall! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, seamlessly accommodating our sizable party despite the short notice. The spacious interior offers plenty of seating, and the atmosphere is vibrant, comfortable, and authentically Mexican, creating a warm and inviting vibe. The restrooms were also impressively clean and well-maintained. We started with complimentary chips and salsa, which were fresh and delicious. We also ordered queso, but mine was disappointingly watery compared to the creamier versions the rest of the table received. However, the highlight was my A La Parrillada Fajitas, a massive platter loaded with chicken, steak, shrimp, carnitas, and chorizo—talk about variety! The portion was so generous I couldn’t finish it, making it well worth the price. The margaritas we ordered were a hit, perfectly crafted and refreshing. The menu is impressively extensive, offering something for every taste, from classic dishes to more unique options. Despite the minor hiccup with the queso, El Vallarta delivers great food, a fantastic atmosphere, and top-notch service, making it a great choice for group outings or casual dining.

Great food, the restaurant was clean and neat with friendlystaff. It looked it there was a business party going on in a separate room and had been clapping and cheering something. Menu has a lot of options and everythinglooked great.

Here's a potential review: # 5/5 Stars "Hands down, the best Mexican food in Hermitage! I've been to El Vallarta multiple times, and every visit has been an absolute delight. The service is always top-notch - friendly, attentive, and accommodating. But the real star of the show is the food! I've tried a variety of dishes, from the carne asada tacos to the chiles rellenos, and every single one has been flavorful and expertly prepared. The portions are generous, the presentation is beautiful, and the prices are very reasonable.

Met my mom here for lunch. Food was good. They were able to make most dishes gluten free which is huge plus for my mom. Food was very good and extremely reasonably priced.

THE BEST MEXICAN food around. 10/10 I have ordered the Quesadilla Appetizer, Mexican Street Corn and Cheese Dip at least 4 times and every single time I have not been disappointed. The chicken in the quesadilla has peppers and onions and is properly seasoned. It's somebody's grandmother in that kitchen. The corn is always fresh and perfectly seasoned. The queso is always on point.
