I've been here about 5-6 times, and each visit has been a great experience. The customer service is the best I've seen in a long time, and we're talking about a family Mexican restaurant! I've been to plenty of high dollar restaurants in recent years, and I can honestly say that the service at Casa Vallarta ranks right up there.

We're always greeted warmly, and while all of the staff speaks English, my wife and I have enjoyed using Spanish with the servers, since most of them are native speakers. My first time, we ate at the bar, where I initially experienced the excellent service. The bartender wipes every glass down before pouring a drink, tops off people's drinks, and in general, understands what great customer service is.

Each time I've gone, I've enjoyed the margaritas, and I've tried something different on the menu. The serving sizes are generous; I ordered black bean soup once, thinking that the tacos wouldn't be enough, but they were big and came with large sides of rice and beans. The burrito is great, and the enchiladas mole are different from other places I've had them, with the addition of peanut flavor, but tasty.

The interior of the restaurant is bright and colorful, a great atmosphere to be in on cold snowy nights. I'm looking forward to coming here in the summer and eating outside on the deck.

The prices are very reasonable, comparable with a typical family Mexican restaurant. I'll be back often, both with the kids, and with my wife on our own.

My youngest son requested to have his birthday dinner here, and he loved the celebration when the staff came and played music and put a sombrero on him.
