We will definitely be back! The tacos are so huge and delicious! Everything was fantastic!This is a must visit local business!“
“This is truly a delicious place to stop at, if you are in Rockport it is a must go. Andy is so attentive and ready to answer any questions, they make homemade tortillas that are next level. I seriously haven't taste tortillas this good since my last trip to Mexico. They have two tables out for you to sit at and enjoy your food. I cannot re comment this enough, if you are looking for an authentic taste and a feeling of home here is where you go. I tried the huevos rancheros as well as the carne guisada tacos, they have something for everyone!“
“5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Driving back and forth for over a year, I finally had time to stop in for a late lunch ? This restaurant is a MUST HAVE, if you're ever in the area. I got seated and served within 2 minutes. Enjoy the Enchilada Plate, and it took me back, to when my Mom made enchilada chili sauce, from scratch ? I got to chat with an lady there, no realizing, that was the actual owner, and she made me feel like family. Thank you for the great food and company. Folks... Take me up on it. The Original Vallarta gets my vote for Best of the Best ?“
“Great atmosphere and the best fajitas ever and the owner Mr. Pena is the best restaurant owner you could ever meet. I couldn’t give this restaurant enough stars! Thank you Mr. Peña and your servers for the great experience my family and myself had.“
“This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant in Rockport. The decor and atmosphere is very comfortable. Everything was excellent. Had beef fajitas and my friend had the special fried shrimp and fish. Their flour tortillas are home made and so good. And their servers were very friendly and helpful. We'll be back for sure.“
“Slid into Jalisco Restaurant drive through on my ride from Aransas Pass,Texas heading north to Port Lavaca, Texas . Grabbed me a shrimp salad, added thousand island dressing . That salad was just right for the ride, not heavy at all, and the shrimp were well seasoned ! And the place was very busy, the cooks had the look on their faces like they love cooking, that is always a plus !“
“Great place to eat, but sometimes, order can be wrong. Be sure to check it before you leave. The staff is great and friendly, but as always, people have a rough day.. so please be kind and understanding. Fast food is one of the toughest jobs to have, especially when dealing with the public. Great place to sit and eat as well. They have inside options or a small outside area you can eat at. The bathroom is always clean as well as the dining area.Vegetarian options: You can get most of the menu vegetarian, but also be aware that even though they have ingredients seperated its still prepared in the same area with meat and dairy.Parking: Big parking lot with plenty of room 20+ cars.Kid-friendliness: This place is kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Some areas may be tight inside, but they have an outside area with plenty of room for a wheelchair.“
“We all ordered different dishes and everyone said it was good. We went for a late lunch and the restaurant had quite a bit of traffic even past the peak lunch time. Our waitress was friendly and would quickly refill drinks or chips and salsa WHEN we asked. The peach margaritas are REALLY GOOD.Prices are reasonable. I recommend it if you just want Mexican food, you wouldn't be disappointed.“
“First time customer. I had a bit of trouble seeing it from the road but I’m sure glad I turned around and looked again. All the items looks delicious and I opted for the large Honey Bee Pollen smoothie. It was outstanding, smooth and creamy. Tasted wonderful. I’ve been told that the tacos are wonderful and that they are very large. The restaurant was clean and well-lit. Bathroom was very clean. I’ll definitely make this a regular stop. Mrs. Nunez has done a wonderful job on this restaurant.Dietary restrictions: A lot of variety for any type of eater.“
