This Yelp review is the 2nd ever for McKenzie, I hope the list of reviews keep growing. :)
I grew up in McKenzie, but I now live in Aptos, California. Â I wanted to write a review for El Vallarta because this place rivals the best Mexican restaurants that I have been to in California! Â I just wish this place was around when I had lived in McKenzie. Â But, it is a great place to go when I am visiting family and friends.
First, this restaurant has plenty of seating, many in comfy private booths. Â The decor is very colorful and bright, which puts a smile on my face every time I am there. Â I also love the variety in the menu, which includes many combinations of enchiladas, burritos, fajitas, etc. but also a sizable a la carte menu as well including salads and baked potatoes (for those not keen on just Mexican cuisine). Â I especially love their chile verde enchiladas and pork tamales, delicious! Â Also, the prices can't be beat - very reasonable. Â The service is also great, never an empty glass. Â And, did I mention you get free chips and salsa? Â This is a great place for large groups or families to meet.
I highly recommend El Vallarta as the go-to restaurant in McKenzie!
