Update 1.8 26 the prices have gone up alot it seems 3 sizes of quesos with the large being $20 or so, let me know we need to learn to make it ourselves…. great food as usual, tried the Chile poblano this Time, was good! Back to the Chile Relano next time. 8.23.25 we visited again on our way home from a prevoius engagement and ordered a #20 and Tres Tacos, WITH some queao on the aide ans BAM THE SALSA HIT LILE iT SHOULD THE QUESO WAS BANGIN amd the #20 plate was addictive!!! Thinking of returning asap! Still wondering WHAT was on the #20 plate and wondering of they have The Esp3ciale plate like the OG Vallartas did
Needs work to the salsa and a bit more flavor in the ground beef on that visit, otherwise stellar

I’ve been coming to Vallarta’s in Collier/54 for the last 10 years. I had the Taco Salad (beef) and I wanted to make a point to share how absolutely AMAZING the taco salad was tonight. As you can see, I scraped the sides. It had the freshest salad ingredients, and the ground beef was seasoned to PERFECTION and was hot through to the last bite. Enjoy this image of the bowl, which was also cooked to perfection and subsequently eaten 10/10 friendly service as always. Love this location!

Delicious Mexican. Only complaint (and it’s minor) is the free chips are almost glass like. The salsa though is top notch with just the right amount of heat.
Really good pork carnitas also.
On the local scale, for Land o Lakes… Food only (not including margaritas) Aug 2025

I love this restaurant! I lived in SoCal for over 5 years and the food here is as authentic as it gets. We just celebrated my birthday here this evening and the service, the food, the atmosphere—couldn’t be beat! Can’t beat the street tacos or the tacos birria!

Good locally owned restaurant with a full menu of Mexican favorites. Reliably quick service and the food is hot and fresh. We like this place and always look forward to coming back. Some of the long time employees of the old Carrollwood location are now here.

We eat here for our Mexican food fix. The food is very good. My wife gets a taco and chili pablano for the whole chili. She loves them. I, since I am a big guy, get the special dinner. More food than I can eat but would cost much more for the items individually. Always very good and very reasonably priced. Oh and I forget the margaritas, to die for!! Highly recommend this place. Don’t be afraid to ask for the habanero hot sauce. We have never had a bad server. Nice place.

Absolutely disgusting! This place use to be really good a few years back. Me and my husband haven’t been in a while and decided to stop in. I don’t do reviews unless it really impacted me. My husband tacos were soapy and burnt. No flavor. Didn’t even complete our meal. I really use to enjoy this place. Very disappointed

I stopped here today to have lunch when I was traveling thru Lutz Florida! Me and my father order a Fajita parillada steak, chicken, shrimp, pork, and chorrizo! Big plate good food! If you don’t eat much, I highly recommend this for 2 people! We both love to eat, so we ordered 1 each and finished every single crumb, we got very, very full it was a challenge to finish the whole plate! We had lunch today around 6pm it’s 11 pm, and I still feel very full!! 2 fajita parilladas 2 sweet teas and 1 small spicy salsa $71.00 dollars plus tip! I would return next time I travel thru lutz, but if I am i in my working hours like I was today, I would not order this plate again it’s a very big plate! Makes you feel very uncomfortable being extremely full and working! I would order this plate on my day off after eating going to the park to walk it out!
