Coming from San Diego.... I know good Mexican food. Most often it is a small place on the corner with the name ending in 'berto". I had my doubts about getting good mexian food up here, but Nuevo Vallarta was excellent. I had the Pollo a la Parrilla Ensalada and it was delicious. My friend is allergic to beans, and when she let them know they had no problem making her dish without them. The chips and dip were good too, flavorful but not too spicy. I will definately go there again.

We went here for the first time today. Excellent service, our waitress was very attentive and friendly! I had the shrimp enchiladas which was a huge portion and delicious! My husband had beef enchiladas and enjoyed his. Definitely going to come back!

If you haven't been to Nuevo Vallarta, I highly recommend it! Huge portions, and the food is full of flavor. Very authentic Mexican food. Also the staff makes you feel right at home. I got the Mole Poblano with black beans, white rice, and fried plantains. My boyfriend got " Arroz con Pollo" . 10/10

My husband and I went on a date night. Normally, we are all about trying new restaurants especially Mexican but this was our first time here since they opened probably a year ago. Our area has 5 Mexican Restaurants. Yelp reviews were mostly positive with a few exceptions. As we parked we could see it was a slow night for them as the parking lot had a couple of cars. It had been a rainy, windy day so most probably decided to say indoors. This place was a converted McDonald's. They did a nice job on the remodel. They had a mixtures on tables and booths. As we entered we were greeted very friendly asking if we preferred a booth. We said yes. It was only the 2 of us but this booth could hold a comfortable 4 without it being a tight fit like some places where you feel like a sardine. A lady immediately brought chips and salsa. Chip were good, salsa was okay. It needed a bit more spices. The menu was very long with a ton of options. We were asked within a couple of minutes for our drink order and were brought drinks within a few minutes. Prices were average to higher than we have seem but not too outrageous. We ordered a burrito with shredded beef and the carne asada burrito. We got our food within 10 minutes. The burritos were big. If not too hungry, you could split it with someone. Mine had red sauce and my husband the green sauce. My husband had asked for black beans but pinto were used. He was okay with either. My burrito was good but I wish the red sauce was a bit more flavorful. It looked like the same red sauce used for the chips and salsa. I wish there was a bit more cheese inside as well. There was a good about of the shredded beef. My husband really enjoyed his burrito. Maybe these were not the best we ever had but still really good. My margarita was very good with plenty of alcohol. Throughout our meal we did have a gentleman come over asking how everything was. Maybe the manager or owner? Appreciated it. All in all I would recommend this place to try. Mexican food can be so different and depending on their style,, you might love it or not. I would come back and try something else on the menu.

Nuevo Vallarta Mexican restaurant is an amazing restaurant, from the moment we walk in the door until we left. The food was out of this world. Everything is made in house from their homemade tortillas corn and flour, to their margarita mix. The menu is large. My favorite part of their menu is the pictures! I love seeing the food along with the description. There's a lot of yummy dishes to pick from. I've never seen a burrito as large as the one my husband ordered, it was hug!! I got the enchiladas and taco, it had best flavor. The spices and sauce was amazing. The cocktails were great too. The service was the best, Coco was our waitress, and she never missed a beat. I can't wait to bring family and friends back to Nuevo Vallarta for some more yummy food and cocktails. This is the best Mexican restaurant in Northern Nevada, hands down.

My husband's favorite food! When l am trying to have my way with him l suggest we try some Mexican food. Puts him in just the right mood to discuss wanting another puppy! I will be going to a lot of Mexican dinners to pull this one off! lol. Seriously we had some really good authentic Mexican food. I had Beef enchilada and a chile relleno rice and the best tasting beans Hubby had tacos just the way he likes them. The plates were gigantic and so darn hot when they were delivered to the table. Just love really warm food made with love! So if you want to travel to Mexico without all the expense go to Nuevo Vallarta and enjoy!

From the moment we stepped in the restaurant we were made to feel right at home with everyone from the hostess to the guy who made our table side guacamole and our wonderful and personable server, Saul from Bacalar, Mexico. Saul took excellent care of our table and made some pretty amazing margaritas! The Chile con Queso was amazing as was the table side guacamole. When our dinners arrived, we immediately realized we'd be leaving with a lot of leftovers as the portions were huge! We had such a great first experience here, I'm sure we'll be back! We're also excited to come back and see some live bands from northern Mexico that will be performing late October. Their menu is extensive and has so many great looking dishes offered it was really hard to pick which one to try first. We hope you enjoy!

5/18/2024- Decided to venture out from a few of our favorite Mexican restaurants-and stopped here. Location is nice, and off the Main Street.. Seated as soon as we walked in, but requested another table.. the table was unbalanced .. Menu has a lot of items- on the front of the menu, in red -states the charge of 3%for atm / credit card.. I went with the fish tacos- server said the description was wrong and the fish is fried-.. Exactly what I wanted - thinking fried meant battered fish- but it was not battered. Sadly the presentation of the fish tacos was so plain- no coleslaw, or garnishes.. But the sauce was amazing and made up for the looks.. Was not offered a choice of beans- but honestly the black beans were really good with rice- Also got the taco and enchilada combo- and it was good.. refried beans were very good.. Attentive staff .. $53 plus the 3% = $55 bill. Glad to have stopped in..
