Vallarta's Mexican Restaurant

Great drinks and even better food! Go for the lunch buffet or a margarita and you will have a good time

Margaritas on Wednesdays and $1 tacos on Tuesdays and Wednesdays y'all. Stellar deals!

TWO WORDS: HAPPY HOUR. The happy hour specials for the margaritas are unbeatable. Love the dollar tacos and chips!

Pros: Comfortable setting for casual talking with friends!

This is my favorite Vallarta's location and despite critics opinions, I still find Vallarta's to have some of the best Mexican food in Tampa Bay. Their tacos de carne asada are like no other and I have celebrated many birthday dinners here just so I can have another taste of those succulent tacos. Complimentary, fresh chips and salsa is always appreciated as well. Their margaritas are gigantic, if you're looking for a drink and the restaurant is within walking distance from Green Iguana. The waiters here are always polite and quick to bring my order (which can be more spotty at other locations). The location on Dale Mabry gives you more freebies, but I prefer the Anderson location more simply because they dedicate themselves to providing a consistent experience and I always love my food here. Parking is also completely painless.

Pros: Delicious tacos de carne asada, consistent experience, great service, love it
