Puerto Vallarta Restaurant

As a bit of a Mexican food snob (lived in Mexico City for 2 years), this place is weak if you are looking for other than Tex Mex. If you DO like that, it’s average, and the service is as well.

Booked full. We could not get in at 6pm. The waiting list is 95 minutes. Make sure to go there before 5pm. Had to find another place for my wife’s birthday dinner. Sigh.

Went here on 1÷22÷16 and they were able to seat my party of six quickly. I did really enjoy the margarita I ordered. Food was decent but overall pretty flavorless. Tableside guacamole wasn’t worth the money. Great atmosphere and prices.

Excellent, went out with a friend for my B’day, had appetizers and drinks. I can’t wait to go back.

The table side guac is awesome, although a bit expensive. Food is decent, comes in huge portions, and is brought to the table quickly. No complaints here!

I’ve been here numerous times and it’s quite good. The food is great and so is the service. Table side guacamole is always a staple and a favorite. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. They do a great job with birthdays too: give you a big sombrero to wear and everyone sings, if you’re into that kind of thing. Friendly people, great food … I wish the prices were a little cheaper but for a nice sit down meal of Mexican food, all in all it’s a great place.

Nice restaurant. Very good food. I’ve been here twice and eaten the grilled shrimp twice. It was very good. The service is good and the place is nicely decorated.

Great bright atmosphere, freshly prepared food, good service and moderate prices.
Definitely a place to try.
Menu is extensive with great options.

What a disappointment. Worst chicken tortilla soup that I could imagine. It was literally cut up grilled chicken in tomato flavored water. Burrito was about 1 step up from a convenience store. I’m not one to speak negatively about anything but the take out from here was offensive.
The date was ¹²⁄₅ @8pm

Disappointed. Went last night, our food came out within seriously, 5 minutes, my food was over fried and didn’t taste very good, our waiter clearly just wanted us gone. I’m bummed.
Hi, I believe it was the 10^th, I came with a friend, she had a chicken salad, I ordered the corn app and a combo meal of an enchilada & chimichanga. I also ordered the jalapeño Rita which I couldn’t drink more than a sip, it was painful so I asked to switch it to a watermelon one, the waiter was SO clearly annoyed by this request.

The guacamole is made table side here and is pretty damn good. Some of the best restaurant guac I’ve had in the area, if not the best. The XX on tap was cold and tasty and the margs were pretty potent; which we like! I was not that impressed with my entrée however as I ordered the Puerto Vallarta Especial. The snapper was a bit on the fishy side, the shrimp were well overcooked, and there was more octopus than I could ever handle in one sitting. And I love ALL seafood. It was good, just way too much. I would recommend sticking to the classics here.

First, I should start by saying I am not a big fan of Mexican food. I am not a fan of rice, beans, am allergic to peppers and don’t care for many spices used in Latin dishes.
After eating at this location multiple times, I am totally impressed.
The service is pretty stellar. All of the wait staff say «Señor» and «Señorita» and I love it.
The restaurant and bathrooms are clean, everything always smells so delicious when you walk in and after being seated 3 different times in 3 different areas, all have been enjoyable. We have walked in on 2 separate occasions on a Friday and have never had to wait for more than 5 minutes. One night we dined mid week rather late and at no point did we feel rushed to leave.
I have ordered the Crab Enchiladas twice. SO good. I have also ordered the Carne Asada Quesadilla. Yummy. Done perfectly. My boyfriend loves their fajitas and they are always willing to accomodate his request of extra shells and extra cheese on the side.
Prices are reasonable and lately, I have found myself craving their food because it is THAT good.
They keep the water, chips and salsa coming, the beer is cold and the food is hot. Best Mexican I have had in awhile, especially for me when I consider myself to be a picky eater when it comes to this type of food.

When you realize you come to this place more than your fair share because you like it, It definitely deserves four stars. A recent visit reminded me why. Lots of chips. Great quick service. And very solid food.
The steak and chorizo special they had was among the better things I’ve had there but the tacos and standards are good too. But don’t be afraid to deviate to something more creative. They shine
And good margarita too.
We are hooked on puerto Vallarta.

Really cool atmosphere– warm and inviting! Our waiter was very friendly and our food came out pretty fast for a Friday night.
On to the food: it was delicious and then portions were generous for the price.
I ordered an enchilada and taco with rice and beans. Everything was delicious and tasted fresh. Plus, the guacamole is very tasty and won’t leave your breath tasting icky!
The drink menu was extensive and overall, it was a great time. Definitely will be back the next time I am craving Mexican food!

Puerta Vallarta has become one of our favorite family-​night go-​to restaurants in the Farmington area. We are always very satisfied (and over-​stuffed) when we leave. The service is great and very friendly. The chips are warm and crispy and they happily refill them for you. The food is very consistent and fresh and they have a very large selection.
Despite our efforts to get them to try Mexican food, my 6 & 8 yr old sons always order the chicken fingers, which are a HUGE portion. I like them because they are handmade — not the typical frozen fingers you get. And the fries are seasoned fries — super yummy. When my kids eat everything, I’m happy. This a kid-​friendly place, but even when we go at 5:30pm, we can’t hear the other kids AT ALL. So for those who don’t like dining with the knee-​high crowd, don’t let it deter you!
We were there last night and we had a mix up in the order (I ordered fajita nachos and they brought a fajita salad), but they immediately fixed it with a smile.
I particularly love when the servers speak Spanish to us and take the tim
