" Broke my heart to say this but my last visit wasn't great. Long wait, and when I got my food, it was lukewarm. The flavors were nice, but the temperature really ruined it for me. I hope my next visit will be better. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've frequented Vallarta for years and I can confidently say it's the best Mexican fast-casual spot around. Everything I try is delicious; their carnitas tacos and the Christian fries are especially outstanding. They really have a knack for lovely flavors. I could eat here every day! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, just wow! This place has the best tacos I've ever tasted. I tried both the carne asada and chicken, and I can't pick a favorite. The salsa they serve on the side is actually made fresh, which really impressed me. Very cozy atmosphere, too! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent place overall, but the food didn’t live up to the hype. I ordered the chili relleno and it was bland. The service was fine, but I expected more excitement and flavor! I might not rush back. " (*Curated Review*)
