" The burritos at Taqueria Vallarta are easily some of the best I've had in California! I tried the super burrito, and it was HUGE. Unfortunately, the service was a little sluggish during peak hours, but the food made up for it. I especially appreciated the salsa bar with its diverse options. Overall, I would recommend this place for anyone craving authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)
