Wow!!! I've lived in Texas and southern CA, both of which have a lot of Mexican food places. I've always said I could eat Mexican food every day! Plus, my son-in-law is Hispanic and has taken us to some very authentic restaurants. I tried Vallarta Grill last night, and have fallen in love with this place. EVERYTHING was amazing...the host, the waitress, the chips, the salsa and bean dip, the margarita, and the best steak ranchero I've ever had!! I will be returning often. What an amazing place!
Food was great! Got it to go. The area seemed a bit sketchy. The tall white girl at the front was super kind!
Great service!!! Clean location. So far everything has been wonderful. The chili verde is excellent!!!
Best Mexican foot in town. They recently redid their menu which is very impressive!! Their newest addition is the steak shrimp grilled cheese and cactus dish . My new favorite
Love the food here and stop when I'm driving through town. Fajitas are outstanding. Complimentary chips and salsa are delicious! Also complimentary bean dip is delicious. Service is always great. Prices are reasonable. Clean restaurant. Big parking lot. Much love!
I visited Vallarta Grill on 6/14. I been meaning to write this review. This place is so delicious. I live in olivehurst so if I'm craving Mexican food I know have a place to go. Well worth the 30 minutes drive.
We spent the Memorial Day weekend in Oroville. With our expectations set low, we tried Vallarta Grill to quench our desire for Mexican food. Surprisingly the food was pretty dang good! They served us chips and salsa, which is to be expected, but they also serve us a small plate of refried beans. It's the first time ever eating at Mexican restaurants throughout California where we were served refried beans with our tortilla chips! The pairing was absolutely fabulous! I ordered the chili Colorado and my wife ordered the chicken enchilada plate. The food was absolutely delicious and the cost of our meal was reasonable! The next time we come up to Oroville, we will be sure to stop here again!
Been in Oroville the last couple days and came to this restaurant. I'm always up for Mexican food and having heard everything here is inexpensive, this visit was a no-brainer. Your standard chips and salsa await as you as you sit down. (This isn't a dig in any way. I'm just pointing that out.) And you get a serving of beans. I liked their salsa, it had more spice and flavor than what I've experienced in other local Mexican restaurants. It also looked very red, which made it all the more appetizing. I ordered the enchiladas with chicken. It came with rice and beans. If you don't want one, you can substitute and get double rice, or double beans. The enchiladas definitely did it for me - stuffed with chicken, and the mole sauce they used had a little bit of a smokey flavor. I like mole to be on the savory side, and this mole was! Rice was fine, I didn't get those hard little bits that occasionally pop up when you cook rice. Beans are always good in my opinion, just don't eat too many of them. The service we had left something to be desired. Our waiter was disorganized and we had to summon a waitress waiting other tables for refills. It seemed only ours wasn't on top of things - all the other workers were putting in the effort. New staff member? From the outside it looks small, but on the inside it's a whole other story: ample seating and plenty of room in the back if you have a large group of people wanting to eat here. I love places where you can go right on in, sit down, order something quickly and get in and out in half an hour. And if the food's cheap, that's even better! I would be more than interested in visiting again someday in the near future.
On our way to a three-day adventure, my man and I stopped here for lunch. It was about 100 degrees and this place didn't have AC. Fortunately, our booth was by a huge fan! Whew! That helped a lot! We started with a refreshing margarita, the perfect way to cool off! The yummy complimentary chips and salsa were served quickly. We shared the Shrimp Fajitas and they were tasty! It was packed with flavor with green peppers, onions, and cilantro. There also was more than enough shrimp for us to share. It was also served with warm corn tortillas with other tasty dishes like beans, rice, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and cheese. A perfect quick stop then off we go!
