Vallarta's Mexicano - Lutz

First thing to address is that this is no longer Vallarta’s. It’s San Jose Mexican Restaurant. We know Vallarta’s is great, so when we discovered the change as we arrived, we were cautious but gave it a shot. The people are very friendly. Food was disappointing. Our party all agreed on that, and we got a variety of items.

Without a doubt, this was the absolute worst Mexican food I've ever had!

We’ve been twice since relocating to the area and both times have had service and food that were so subpar we attempted to pay and leave without eating.The first time management blamed the “lack of good help nowadays” when multiple items were forgotten from our meal and our children were served piping hot dishes after being forgotten and reminded about once the adults meals were served). The second time we were served incorrect drinks two different margaritas, Texas and top shelf) when we asked if there was a mix up or to remake the small drink because it didn’t taste right we were instead met with a manager stating that is the way they made them and it was right, or did we want to change the order.Overall the service has been a I miss and the food not good enough to justify returning.

It's a family-owned restaurant with an extensive menu that can be a bit overwhelming due to the wide variety of entrees available. However, the food is full of great flavors, and the customer service is excellent.

Great service and really good food. I highly recommend this place.
