Puerto Vallarta

I will never come back to this place! My wife and I thought we were customers the owning family enjoyed having as patrons. I was so wrong. We wanted to order our meal and every employee would not even make eye contact with us. We waited 30 minutes and nothing. We tried to get the manager’s attention, but he avoided us too. Finally we got up to leave in disgust, and the manager came over and asked if we wanted another round of drinks. We said, «no, we were just going to leave because we couldn’t get anyone to to take our food order». His response floored me. He just said, «OK».
As we went to pay for our drinks at the cash register, we again explained that we did not have a check because we left because we could not order our meals and no one would wait on us. The response again was, «OK, thank you». I am appalled.
The food here is decent, but the service just does not make it a good call. So disappointed that we will not come back.

Nice and tasty Mexican restaurant in Newark. The staff is friendly and authentic, and the margaritas are tasty too! I loved the supreme burrito, but my guest’s tostada was too messy. We thought it would be one that she could pick up, but it was covered with cheese, rice and beans.
I’ll be back on my next trip!

The bomb Mexican cuisine. Staff awesome usually know my order as soon as I sit down. Great food cold giant beers and fast food to table. I never hesitate to go eat here if I am looking for a big hearty Mexican feast!

Food was bland and tasteless. Not impressed. Of course I am from the Chicago area were the Mexican food is amazing and authentic, so the bar is already set high. In would say this was one step above Taco Bell.

I really enjoy this location quite a bit. It’s friendly and cheap and the food is very good. My favorite thing is the fajitas and my only complaint would be that you get 3 little tortilla shells. They give you so much of everything else, that you could probably fill 6 – 8 of those things! Which is really fine by me as it give me lunch for the next day as well.

Excellent food (and drinks). Very good service. A few snafus but taken care of asap. Would definitely come back if I’m I the area.

They. must of hired a new chef. I have been a very happy customer for years. Our meals last night composed mainly of onions in the salad, old tasting pork, and green peppers. Flavor wasn’t there.

Wonderful family atmosphere with great food and service. I ordered two chimichangas off the ala carte menu and they were stuffed full of fresh tasting chicken. My mother ordered the spinach enchilada dinner. She gave it a 9 out of 10. The restaurant is very clean and warm. Blanca is very nice and attentive. We didn’t wait long for our food. As a tip, stop at Kroger next door before coming here. The receipts have 15% off coupons printed on the back!

We’ve been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. The food is always fast, fresh and hot. Even if there is a line (which there frequently is) they get you in and out quick. The prices are reasonable and the staff is always friendly.

Some of the best Mexican food in ‘Merica! The Flautas are delicious especially with a nice cool Modelo. Chips and salsa are solid. The service is excellent as long as you know how to be respectful. The price is very affordable. I love this place!

By far one of the BEST Mexican restaurants I have ever been to. The environment needs a little help but I can honestly say that i am addicted to this little spot!

Good food at a great price. Only complaint was salsa was very runny and chips appeared to come from the bottom of the bag. Food and drinks were great

We went there last night for a late dinner. They are open til 11 (at least on fridays) and though by the time we got there (9:45) it was mostly empty and they were beginning to clean up we did not feel rushed at all. In fact, the service was excellent, the waiter as right there whenever we needed something. My wife ordered the Long Island Iced Tea which was surprisingly strong and beef chimechanga (very good). I had the pollo loco which was good, but a little skimpy on the picco de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream. The bast part was that with all of that plus 2 beers for me our total was still below $ 30.

I love this place! I always have. It’s a great place to get lunch after Sunday morning church or dinner throughout the week! The staff is very friendly and the food is amazing!
The prices are very reasonable and you get a large portion.
I’ve been here many times and plan to go back many more! It’s good that Newark has a great Mexican place like this! I’ve seen several other Mexican restaurants come and go, but Puerto Vallarta has remained stable over the years.
Great job, Puerto Vallerta! Te amo! :o)

Carlos was kind enough to argue with me about my order, what’s up with that? The food was ok, not great and the service sucked. This is my first negative review but I had to share my experience, it was terrible!

We absolutely love this place. We eat here about once per week! They have a great arroz con pollo, which literally means chicken and rice. Our only complaint is the fresh salsa has been very runny. We do not go for the salsa so its no bother to us. We also love the generous portions. Often times, our food is spilling over the plate! The prices are fair and they have a large selection of dishes. Very authentic. Would be 5 stars if they would update the décor! Its very classic mexican. I would suggest this as a good place to bring guests from out of town!

I eat here 2 – 3 times a month. I used to eat here at least once a week. They provide free chips and salsa as soon as you sit down. I order the cheese dip which is always great. I love their taco salad fajita, arroz con carne, arroz con pollo, or the burritos. The food always comes out fast, consistent, and very hot. They offer a full bar, take credit cards and offer take out. The décor isn’t awesome, but it’s Newark. I love the servers, who know me by name and are always super friendly. If they make a mistake no questions asked, they will remake it in a heart beat… even if you don’t like it. This is a great restaurant and is one of my favorite.

We had heard good things about this restaurant and finally gave it a try today. The place itself is typical of a Mexican place just about anywhere, but this one has a hand written sign that proudly proclaims, «Good news! We now serve beer on Sundays.» Truly great news for the after church lunch crowd that quickly filled the joint.
The complimentary chips and salsa were decent but far from noteworthy. The menu is decent with a variety of seafood dishes in addition to the more traditional dishes. The table next to us ordered fajitas that smelled great when they came out and the plates all around looked as expected. The first red flag was the list of fillings for the various dishes: seasoned ground beef, spicy chicken, and shredded pork.
The food was just okay. I ordered a lunch special with a chile relleno (probably my favorite Mexican dish) and a shredded pork taco after having the waiter confirm that it was like a traditional carnitas. The taco was certainly not filled with carnitas. It was okay, but lacking any Mexican touch. The worst part was that the chile relleno was filled with mashed potatoes and none of the cheesy goodness that should be expected.
My wife ordered chicken tacos and described them as bland and boring. My kids split a bean and cheese burrito and a cheese enchilada which were both below average.
Overall, we were disappointed.

Not bad for Mexican food in Newark. When your choices are pretty much this place and Taco Bell I would go with Perto Vallarta.

Good chips and salsa! The food comes out fast and is good. I get the chicken fajitas!
