Vallarta Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Century

Tourists beware. Recent bad reviews 100% justified. I should have read them before coming here.

Food poisoning - confirmed. As I was eating whatever it was they were trying to pass off as food my stomach immediately became upset.

The Chips and Salsa: I am almost positive the Salsa was the culprit, something so bitter, acrid and almost rancid about it. When we looked around no one else was touching theirs either.

Vallarta Bowl (choice of Rice or Fries, but note if you ask for Fries they charge you extra for it and then give you next to NO fries) chicken was dry and tough. Cheese sauce was from a jar/can.

Tried some of the ground beef they use for Tacos/Taco Salad and a good percentage of it it is most definitely not "beef", but hopefully whatever parts are ground up to make tge substance originally come from a cow.

Prices are far too high for rhe quality of food they're serving, but I get the impression most come here to drink and eat, not just...

Beautiful clean, fresh brightly lit Mexican restaurant in Century. We got the sampler appetizer, the fajitas, enchiladas and burritos, and the amusingly named Happy Plate. The rice and beans were serviceable, the food good if not extraordinary - good and similar to the other Mexican restaurants in the area. The cheese dip (add cheese sauce on the plates) was well above average though - not spicy, so much as just a very richly flavored cheese. The Happy Plate was exactly what my wife likes: grilled chicken, steak or shrimp over rice, smothered in that rich cheese sauce; Mexican comfort food!

Food came fast and hot, and I cannot overemphasize how clean this place is. Open bar area with 7 TVs, but all I saw on tap were generic American beers. Limited parking, with an overflow lot across the busy 5-lane Hwy 29.

UPDATE: Now 2-for-1 small margaritas from 2 until...
