Restaurant Vallarta — Restaurant in San Diego

Delicious food and desserts! I ordered Aguachiles for my appetizer, and they were delicious. The shrimp was actually cooked with the lime juice, so the shrimp held all the flavor from the lemon and jalapeño. I would have not changed a thing, because it was perfect and tasted amazing.

For my entree I ordered Pollo en Mole, which came with a chicken breast covered with mole negro. It also came with rice and beans. This plate comes in a very large portion, so you can definitely share this one. The mole had a good flavor and the chicken was juicy. To drink I had an agua fresca de Jamaica. It was not authentic Jamaica, but it was okay.

For dessert, I had Fried Ice Cream, and it was to die for! The shell was so good. It was very crispy and had lots of flavor. The vanilla ice cream was perfectly sweet and creamy. Eating the two together was a beautiful way to end this delicious meal.

Both cash and card payment methods...
