Casa Vallarta

I come here occasionally in the mornings after my very early morning shift at about 7am. Sometimes there are people and sometimes there are not. The servers are really friendly. I ordered a huevo rancheros once and it was ok. The real breakfast gem is the breakfast tacos. There is a long selection at the bottom of the menu and it’s priced nicely. I’ve had so many that you can’t go wrong with most of them. I recommend anything with egg or potato. Mixed with salsa it’s a great way to start (or end in my case) your day. Beats eating outside in the cold morning wind.

Great Meal Great Price! Best true authentic Mexican Restaurant we’ve eaten at in a long time. Food was fresh and servers were outstanding.

Walked from the Super 8 over to Casa Vallarta for dinner. Service was outstanding (Victor), and the food was delicious. I had the ceviche tostada, an al pastor taco and a fish taco. I’d recommend all 3. Fair price. Definitely worth the walk.

Not having margaritas threw me off. Casa Vallarta quickly redeemed expectations. From cerviche tostada to beef fajita quesadilla; truly delightful. Cerviche was very fresh. Soup, carne gasada and «chocoflan» were equally amazing. Would recommend to anyone. Cheers.

Once again, a prime find through the wonders of Unilocal.While the aesthetics aren’t much here, the food makes up for it. I was in a group of 8 and received excellent customer service. I ordered the enchiladas which did not disappoint. We were the only «white» people in here but that always tells me that a place is legit. Hope I’m in the area again soon and I will definitely stop by.

Great food but the owner is going up on the prices way to much almost four dollars for a tacos and almost 3.00 for ice tea and soft drinks oh my!!!

Food taste the way Mexican food should taste. Chips and salsa is delicious. My favorite are the green enchiladas! Servers always friendly never rude. The place is a small hole in the wall place but don’t underestimate it.

Been here a couple times now. Food is solid, chips/​salsa are great. Fresh ingredients… service is interesting. Young, inexperienced servers, but they try and mean well. I recommend the chile relleno.

Found this little gem while doing some work related training on the southeast side of town. The food was great as was the service. Love hole in the wall Mexican.

En route back to Atlanta and only a few miles from Austin’s airport, we stopped at this quaint Mexican restaurant just off the interstate. Very happy we did as the staff, food, and atmosphere were as authentic and tasty as one can get. Highly recommended!

My gf and I stopped by just 15 minutes short of closing after finding them on Unilocal.They were polite and welcomed us to stay as long as we wanted after getting our food as the restaurant closed.
The food was delicious. I had the chrispy tacos while my gf had the chicken nachos. The taco shells were light and flaky with good flavor; they tasted home made. The meat was great. The refried beans are really good too.
I didn’t get the chance to try the nachos but sue seems to like them
Overall a great place. My mexican friend often tells me the less fancy a mexican place is the better the food is. It’s definitely true for this place

Classic simple delicious Mexican. Pretty sure they overcharged gringo me for my lunch combo and beer. But I’m not mad. Everything was great and the service was excellent. Truly bilingual staff and hole in the wall location.

When you walk in and see the majority of the customers are airport workers on their break, and the airport is a good 15 minutes away, you know the food should be pretty good.
I found this gem on Unilocal since I’m in Austin this week for work. I’ve been working odd hours so it’s mostly been breakfast tacos for lunch and a quick trip to Denny’s or Waffle House for a late afternoon dinner. I’m staying at a hotel near the airport, and there isn’t much around here.
Casa Vallarta is located in a food-​sparse area in a growing industrial district. I had heard about the lunch crowds so I was prepared for a wait, but when I drove up at 6 PM, the parking lot was half-​full.
As you walk in, this is nothing special. There are two dining rooms, and the inner has a TV with movies going. The servers were friendly and helpful, bringing out chips and salsa (HOT!) and a menu. Although Casa Villarta is Tex-​Mex, there is a nice variety of dishes on the menu, including Molcajete.
I ended up with the Poblano Chicken, pounded chicken breasts with onions, mushrooms, and chunks of poblano peppers covered in a jack-​style cheese, and a crispy beef taco. The taco came with a stewy ground beef with chilis, which was very good.
I left sated and ready to take on my online accounting class. After the class, I will need several margaritas…

We ate here for lunch, and for breakfast. Both were fantastic. Great service and great food.

Food was excellent and authentic! Service was great! If you are looking for good food and no frills then you have found your place.

Great breakfast, never had cactus for breakfast, it was good. Close to the McKinney Falls State Park. Friendly staff and great service!

Doesn’t look like much when you walk in (tables and chairs don’t match, stained ceiling tiles, etc), but they were busy enough at 3 on a Thursday that parking was an issue. Service was extremely quick and attentive. Chips and salsa came out, and the corn chips were light and crispy (obviously homemade), and the salsa had a nice little kick, though I needed to add salt.
Had a beef taco and beef enchilada. Both were very good. Enchilada was cheesy, saucy, TeX Mex delicious. Beans tasted a little bit like bacon (never a bad thing). The rice was not very flavorful, but cooked well, and tasty after the addition of some salsa.
I guess they used to be called jalapeños.

This place is the epitome of «hole-​in-​the-​wall» Tex Mex restaurants. It’s a small, old house converted into a business, so you’re dining in a chopped up excuse for remodeling. That’s just one thing I like about it; the food and service are the others. Hot sauce and chips will always reveal what’s to come, and Casa Vallarta excels here. Rice is the mostly overlooked dish in Tex Mex, as are beans, but here it’s a home run on both. Enchiladas? Wow… And service? Honestly… The nicest servers I’ve ever met. Stop reading this and go eat there lol; this is old school original Tex Mex at it’s best.
