Villa Corona — Restaurant in Vacaville

It’s a mixed review: great steak salad, wonderful server (a young girl who cheerily welcomed everyone), good value for the portion size. Flashy artifacts on the wall. Good music. Not-so-good basics: chips tough, watery guacamole, sauces watered down with cornstarch added to thicken them, chicken filling not salty enough tonight.

Surprisingly, the Fajita Salad tasted like a Philly Cheesesteak in that they grilled white button mushrooms along with bell peppers, onions and tender steak strips as the “fajita” topping. This mixture was placed atop a bed of lettuce (one piece was very large); small diced tomatoes and small diced onions. Next came gorgeously fresh, perfectly sliced and fanned avocado. This was drizzled with a white mixture which may have been Cotija cheese. Finely shredded cheddar was sprinkled over all. No olives, no dressing, needed salt, steak very delicious. I highly recommend this salad for people on a ketogenic diet.

My husband ate 1/3 of his order. He ordered a tamale and the man didn’t hear him and gave him an enchilada. My husband said the enchilada sauce tasted like canned brown gravy. He said the rice and beans were just okay. He ordered the guacamole and didn’t eat it or the chips or the salsa. He couldn’t eat the guacamole because it was mostly onions and tomatoes. “Avocado was the afterthought,” he said. I didn’t like the salsa, which was heavy on the jalapeños or whatever spice was added. If you like things hot...

Normally, we love this place. The food is always great. Unfortunately, one of the kitchen staff taking a break thought it was OK to blast her cell phone at high volume throughout the restaurant. The great Mexican music playing in the restaurant? Couldn't enjoy it due to the nasty electronic noise from her over-driven tiny cell phone speaker. Listening to my lovely date's voice? Nope...couldn't hear due to the nails-on-a-chalkboard noisy videos of (probably) cats playing with their balls. The lady had a black t-shirt and jeans, black apron, brown glasses, earrings, thin watch or bracelet on her left wrist, and had her hair in a bun with a black hair band. She was completely oblivious to everyone in the restaurant being irritated. One lady sitting next to her even walked out. Here's a great rule of thumb for anyone, ESPECIALLY employees: The rest of the world doesn't want to hear electronic cell phone noise at high volume...USE EAR BUDS OR HEADPHONES! It seems like this would be common sense. It's a shame that this one employee did this and ruined everyone else's efforts toward an otherwise great experience. Hopefully this gets fixed, because we normally...

Customer is service is EVERYTHING to me. The location is a great which is why they get plenty of customers. The food is just ok. Don’t get me wrong some employees are nice but there are a few that are incompetent. The young lady at the register was just careless & unprofessional since the beginning. I came in with a smile hoping to find something good. As the girl addressed me, she would not bother to look at me. The ordering process just seemed unpleasant for her. It seemed as if she was doing me a favor. She misspelled my name and to make matters worse my order was wrong & charged me for a dessert that I never got. I should have checked before I left the premises, but I shouldn’t have to check to make sure she does her job right. Everyone makes mistakes every now & then. I get that, but she was so careless and had a bad attitude since the beginning. I drove roughly 45 min total and it was not worth it. Time to find a BETTER place. So if you end up here, make sure you get your order right because on top of paying for a service turns out it is ALSO YOUR job to make sure they are...
