" Taqueria Vallarta is a gem! The prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity of food you receive. I usually get the chicken quesadilla, and it's never let me down. The staff is friendly and attentive, making me feel welcomed each time. Would recommend to anyone looking for a tasty Mexican meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was quite disappointing as the food didn't taste fresh. The tacos I ordered seemed pre-made and lacked the home-cooked feel I was hoping for. The lively atmosphere was nice, though. " (*Curated Review*)
