Small drive-through taco shop. Walk in if you don’t mind eating outside under a covered patio near a fairly busy street. I highly recommend the garden omelette which has delicious fresh veggies including zucchini! Flour tortillas and red salsa were also very good. Beans and rice were great too.

One of my favorite taco places in SD. They’re very generous with the hot sauces. I love the green. Their fries are truly loaded, they’re so heavy in the bag! You wouldn’t think to order a salad through a Mexican drive through, but I really love their Mexican Caesar. The creamy Pepita dressing is amazing. I some times order it without the salad to put on my tacos. All portions are very generous and they’re speedy.

The food is super cold. Doesn’t even taste like it was ever hot. Tastes like it was always cold.

Legendary food! I have to be honest, I didn’t try a lot from their menu because their California Burrito just hits every time, could eat it every day. Food, Service and Atmosphere 10/10. Can’t wait to be back! Thanks Vallarta!

This is a very inconsistent restaurant. My last drive-in order included a pollo asado burrito, but I received a quesadilla with horribly dried out chicken and gloomy cheese. When I sent an email to management about my negative experience – as the signage in the drive thru specifically asks you to do – I received no response. So: they screw up, give you inedible food (my dog wasn’t even tempted to try it), and ignore your concerns. Their food is too expensive to just cross your fingers and hope they get it right. I’ll be looking for a different go-to drive thru for my Mexican fast food needs.

I have been to Vallartas many time for a number of their items and they are all great. I love their hot sauce and their California burritos. If you’re in the area and are looking for quality Mexican food this place is worth checking out.

Is this real
I’ve been going to Vallarta for a while and this time I had a surf and turf burrito to go and for the first time in my life and am thoroughly unhappy with my food.
Half the burrito was what looks like a vegetable soup mix of vegetables.
Corn, carrots, peas and even shredded lettuce and not to mention the rice as well.
Yes there were shrimp and carne asada as well as sour cream and guacamole, but come on really ???? You now put peas, carrots Lima beans, lettuce and corn in a burrito and it doesn’t state that anywhere on the menu at all.
I am so disappointed that after 10 years of getting quality food this is not even a half good post .
I am sorry but you have lost my business Vallarta Express on genesee in Claremont Mesa.

Generous portions. Fast. Hits the late night munchies spot. Get their California Burrito – it’s my gold standard. Prices have gone up over the years but I still come back. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE

Absolutely! A delicious burrito combines savory fillings like seasoned meat, cheese, salsa, and guacamole, all wrapped in a warm tortilla. It’s a perfect blend of flavors and textures in every bite!

This was my first time trying this chain, and unfortunately, the experience left a lot to be desired. I went through the drive-thru and ordered a carne asada torta and Christian fries.

The torta was disappointing—the meat was dry, cold, and oddly scattered across the plate instead of being neatly assembled inside the torta. It felt like very little care was put into its preparation. The Christian fries were also served cold, and the fries themselves were soggy, lacking any crispness—as if they had only briefly touched the fryer.

While the toppings (sour cream and guacamole) were generous, it honestly felt like they were being used to cover up the poor quality and temperature of the food. For a $15 torta and $20 fries, I expected much better.

I’m willing to give them another shot in case this was just an off night, but based on this visit, I left disappointed.

Edit: I live 10 minutes from this place, so the food should of not been as cold as it was.
