" Had dinner at Vallarta and I was impressed! I ordered the whole fried snapper, which was cooked perfectly. The flavors were amazing. The only downside was that it took quite a while to get our meals, but once they arrived, it was well worth the wait. The environment is also fun with colorful decor and friendly staff. I would come back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious tacos and a friendly environment! I particularly loved the freshly made tortillas. However, we did face a bit of a wait for our food. I would recommend the flautas as they were crispy and flavorful, definitely the highlight of the meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Though I had high expectations because of the previous reviews, my experience was mixed. While the food tasted good, it was not as authentic as I had hoped. My mole enchiladas lacked depth, and the service was sporadic. However, the place is very charming, and I could see others enjoying their meals. It’s worth a try for the ambiance alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" From the salsa to the main courses, Vallarta serves food that's bursting with flavor! I particularly loved the crab enchiladas, which are incredibly satisfying. The atmosphere made for a pleasant dining experience; everything was well-maintained and clean. Might be better suited for group outings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to Vallarta for years, and it never disappoints! The seafood is incredibly fresh and full of flavor. Their camarones al mojo de ajo is a standout dish! The portions are large enough to share, making it perfect for gatherings. The vibe is lively, especially with the mariachi music in the evenings. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone craving authentic Mexican seafood. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love Vallarta, but unfortunately, my visit was disappointing. The food was good but not extraordinary. The dishes felt somewhat standard rather than authentic. The service was friendly but overwhelmed, which made the experience a bit frustrating. I might give it another shot, but I expected more based on the hype. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem Vallarta is! We stumbled across this place during our road trip, and I couldn’t be happier. The fresh seafood with bold flavors made it memorable. I also loved the decor, very festive and joyful. The one downside was limited parking; I recommend arriving early. " (*Curated Review*)
