Vallarta Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Ringgold

Disaster. A young lady who took my order must have been all but thirteen years old. There was two other people in there and I sat there for almost ten minutes before someone came over , I sat at the bar because I figured I would have a drink and Wait For my food. That's where it all went terribly wrong. There was no bar tender so this poor young lady did do her best to try to understandmy ordering of a margarita , which should be pretty simple in a mexican restaurant. It was anything but that. They pour their margaritas out of a premade machine, It tasted like lemonade and not good lemonade. There's a language barrier between the kitchen staffin the front of house staff. And she had to go in the back and proceed to have the cook Come out and pour the alcohol, Neither one of them knew what tequila I was asking for which I just basically pointed to, because it was on the shelf. There was miscommunication as to whether there was alcohol already in the premade version but after tasting it i assure you there isn't! I ordered another shot to put in it thinking this is what should've happened in the beginning, u pick your tequila and they add the mix. I've been doing this for 35 years for a living and i sell alcohol so i know the pricing. The cook did not even fill their LITTLE shot gkass up to the top, maybe 3 quarters and poured it in, the drink was then fair at best. I should've canceled the drink right then and there , this was mind u getting to be a 15 min ordeal between communication andyhe young lady having to go ask questions. I just wanted a simple margarita that tasted like something from a mexican restaurant. I asked for my check and she ran the card but never gave me a copy of the itemized receipt, but when i saw the amount i almost fell over, it's always fishy abd and a red flag when they dont give you an itemized reciept, red flag. Like their hiding something. I tried to help the young gurl ring up the right tequila, her computer was right next to me but she couldn't find the one i ordered andcran off to the back. Once i did get my itemized reciept it said i ordered 2 don julio shots at $10 each, that is not the tequila i ordered and it should've only been 1 shot that wasn't even a full shot that was poured by a COOK. Now I'm paying $28 for the worst margarita ive ever had! Hands down. I was beyond upset. A YOUNG man was there and i explained, prob 17 yrs old tops, clueless. No manager i guess or please dear god tell me he wasn't it. they didn't care to do anything to rectify the issue , nvmd they charged $2 for pico w my steak quesidilla , i could understand if i wanted extra but NOTHING CAME W IT. NOTHING. there should be something w it like all other places do. They also charged me ANOTHER $2 FOR EXTRA cheese, i asked for that but omg if i could show you a picture of what i got, unreal. $45 for 1 margarita, 1 single ala cart enchilada, and a small quesidilla. This place is a bigger rip off artist than my builder. And saying have a blessed day doesn't make what you dud ok. Seems to be everyone's go to here like they're trying to make me feel bad. God sees everything. Actions speak louder than words. I also asked the young man if the cook always bartends and all the servers were under 13, because that's what it was. I'm sure the cook and staff didn't take the alcohol compliance test needed to work with alcohol. I'll be sure to spread the word about their...

If you looking for another GREAT lunch spot in this area... Well... You found it! feel free to come and try out this restaurant. with over 20  lunch options and ALL under $5!!! Then you are bound to find the perfect dish for everyone .  Just for this alone .. I totally gave them two stars!! That's right! 2 full stars. In top of that, they also have daily specials! today Wednesday is .99 cents tacos!!!! I mean you cant beat that!!!!  me and my companion ate lunch for under $8!!!! With drinks!!! Wow. The Wednesday's 99-cents taco special - include hard or soft ground beef or shredded chicken tacos for $0.99. I had two chicken and two beef tacos soft and hard shell. U can't beat the price thus they get another star! The tacos in in flavor we're quite basic nothing extraordinary but they did have fresh ingredients. On Saturday I had the daily special which is "pollo loco" which is grilled chicken strips on top rice drenched with thier homemade cheese. I still find their seasoning bland but everyone loved it regardless and at only 6.99 for a full order!!! Its just an AMAZING DEAL. regarding the taste, remember to ask for their free salsa rack so you can add it to your meal and truly make every bite delish. Soooooo The only reason I did not gave them 5 stars was due to the taste. Let me explain. When it comes to Mexican food, I tend to lean more towards the authentic side. And after my first bite it was evident to me that this restaurant is more towards the American pallet. the flavor of the food was pretty and bland basic nothing out of this world. However the place is clean and bathrooms impeccable. Not to mention the service was FANTASTIC, ask for Vivianna she was our amazing server and she truly goes above and beyond...

I was traveling home and needed a quick bite to eat going the back way through Ringgold. I remembered a good Mexican Restaurant on the main drag but found out it was closed. I saw a local cop and asked where the best Mexican restaurant in town is and he directed me to this restaurant. At first glance you wouldn't think much because it's in a strip mall and not very big or have all the fancy esthetic stuff but the food was very good. I grew up in Texas near the Mexico border so I know authentic Mexican food and this is it. I saw the reviews about slow service but my experience with nothing but exceptional. They were very friendly, attentative, and served exceptional service while I was there. The place was not very full but it was later in the evening. You will find plenty of parking that is for sure even for campers etc the lot is so big. The food was delicious and cooked just right. I just had the cheese Enchiladas with beans and rice this trip but will post the next trip soon too. I would recommend this place and tell them I sent you. Peace out be safe and...
