Mi amigos! This place is awesome. Went to La Contenta first but they were packed but luckily Vallarta had some spots at the bar and everything was incredible. Tacos pescado and Tacos carne asada! Woo. I preferred the carne asada but both made me feel like I was back in mexico. All the micheladas and cocktails we had were incredible. The happy hour too is off the chain. Great prices and great service. I can’t wait to go back and try more. The nachos were also muy rico. Gracias Vallarta! They a
Another wonderful dinner at Vallarta Tropical on the Lower East Side. Homemade sangria, a Paloma and guacamole to start, followed by a taco tasting platter and branzino. Everything was great including the service.
The service and food were amazing and authentic 🥹. I will be coming back to this place. The enchiladas were delicious and the tacos tasted like if they were from the grill 👌🏼.
