Vallarta's Restaurante

Anything you order seems to fill the table ! The food is plentiful and delicious! Well worth any price! Try the shrimp cocktail, a meal by itself full of flavor and so many shrimp! The service was excellent and we went on Sunday night and they had an excellent guiter player who sang for you! I told my wife i found my new favorite restaurant in Tampa!!

While we were in the area, we decided to grab dinner and came across Vallartas Mexican Restaurant. It had great ratings, so we decided to give it a try. Upon entering, we realized that it was close to closing time, so there weren't many people around - especially since it was a Thursday night. However, the atmosphere was still great and very welcoming. Our server, Oriela, greeted us and promptly provided us with menus. After perusing the menu, we decided to order the Fish Tacos and Quesadillas Fajitas. We were soon served Salsa & Chips, which were delicious and complemented each other perfectly. Our main courses arrived shortly after - the Fish Tacos and Quesadillas Fajitas. The Fish Tacos were cooked to perfection with just the right amount of spices, and we thoroughly enjoyed them. The Quesadillas Fajitas were also delicious, and we especially loved the chicken. Overall, it was a fantastic dinner and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Vallartas Mexican Restaurant.

I went for the lunch buffet which didnt disappoint! I like the large glasses they use so my drink isnt gone in 4 gulps. Plus my waitress was quick to bring me more drink when needed. A man with guitar was walking around playing requests... I enjoyed my lunch very much and I highly recommend eating there!

Very nice environment! Very Mexican. We ordered some traditional flautas and tacos, the food is good, they have traditional Mexican dishes, portions are very big and generous. I think they need to add sauces as Mexican cuisine is all about the home made salsas they cook. I would encourage vallarta to make a home made salsa that people like and remember, make 3… not spicy med spicy and spicy and let the people enjoy them. The atmosphere is great and the live music is amazing! I appreciate also the decorations very Mexican! Service is very nice and you can practice your Spanish if you are feeling brave as most of the workers speak Spanish. It’s a good place to have Mexican food and enjoy a good time with friends and family.

Overall great first time. Was really busy for a Sunday evening, had a big family being served, you can tell lots of families may come here. Atmosphere had a gentleman singing and playing acoustic guitar. Person that waited on us misheard un-sweet tea for sweet tea and asked questions about what room temperature water meant. Used to serve unweet tea myself and most folk down here prefer sweet so I understand the mistake but to avoid this practice asking/repeating back to the customer "with/without sugar" or other words less likely to be misunderstood on the rare ocassion that someone asks for unweet. No need to spend time asking the customer to articulate differently something that's more familiar to you. Room temperature may sound like a rare term compared to "water no ice." but "água al tiempo" is common enough for me to know too when I'm accommodating and serving other fellow Spanish speakers. We all learn through experience of course. 😊 Food portions are generous for smaller individuals like myself and appropriate for bigger folks that need a bit more sustenance to feel full. I typically order vegetarian and there were a few options. My plate felt huge and ended up taking some of the chimichanga leftovers with me. To go boxes are available and even a plastic bag was provided which I was surprised by, used to just carrying the box home after I've had enough. Overall great experience.

We order 2 large sides of chz and guacamole, along with salsa...we only received 1 bag of chips for all, which was disappointing. Asked for xtra pico-but we received no pico at all. Steak fajitas were a large portion but a bit flavorless-possibly forgot spices. Requested fresh jalapeños-received pickled. Queso, la ultimia, and guacamole were delicious. Beans and rice were great. Maybe just a bit more attention to detail but it was a Friday night, so it's almost understandable. I was charged for a packaging fee-sure wish they would of double checked this bag.
