Delicious Mexican. Only complaint (and it's minor) is the free chips are almost glass like. The salsa though is top notch with just the right amount of heat.
Really good pork carnitas also.

I've been coming to Vallarta's in Collier/54 for the last 10 years. I had the Taco Salad (beef) and I wanted to make a point to share how absolutely AMAZING the taco salad was tonight. As you can see, I scraped the sides. It had the freshest salad ingredients, and the ground beef was seasoned to PERFECTION and was hot through to the last bite. 😋 Enjoy this image of the bowl, which was also cooked to perfection and subsequently eaten👌🏻 10/10 friendly service as always. Love this location!

I love this restaurant! I lived in SoCal for over 5 years and the food here is as authentic as it gets. We just celebrated my birthday here this evening and the service, the food, the atmosphere—couldn’t be beat! Can’t beat the street tacos or the tacos birria!

Update 8.23.25 we visited again on our way home from a prevoius engagement and ordered a #20 and Tres Tacos, WITH some queao on the aide ans BAM THE SALSA HIT LILE iT SHOULD THE QUESO WAS BANGIN amd the #20 plate was addictive!!! Thinking of returning asap! Still wondering WHAT was on the #20 plate and wondering of they have The Esp3ciale plate like the OG Vallartas did
Needs work to the salsa and a bit more flavor in the ground beef on that visit, otherwise stellar

We eat here for our Mexican food fix. The food is very good. My wife gets a taco and chili pablano for the whole chili. She loves them. I, since I am a big guy, get the special dinner. More food than I can eat but would cost much more for the items individually. Always very good and very reasonably priced. Oh and I forget the margaritas, to die for!! Highly recommend this place. Don’t be afraid to ask for the habanero hot sauce. We have never had a bad server. Nice place.
