Puerto Vallarta does not serve the best Mexican food you'll ever find. It doesn't even serve the best Mexican food that caters to American tastes. But it's great Mexican comfort food, and a great place to go for dinner in this town.
Some of the high points for me are the very reasonable prices, the different dining areas, each with a different feel, and the very quick service. Your food won't appear so quickly that you didn't get a chance to enjoy your complimentary chips and salsa, but I've been served more slowly at McDonald's.
You may find the decor cheesy or charming; same with the mariachi bands that occasionally play (it can be difficult to hear). Also, if you don't like dining in huge crowds, you'll want to eat a little early, especially on weekends. And again, if you're a foodie or Hispanic, you may say this isn't the highest quality food or necessarily very authentic. But, high quality or not, it's delicious!
I have brought many people here from out of town and I've never left with anyone who didn't say "That was soooo good!" Â For a fun atmosphere, an inexpensive evening, and Mexican dishes you recognize, this is a great choice.
This is a Ball State University student favorite !! I have come here several times with friends for their awesome margaritas. If you are looking to dine on a budget then this is where you need to eat. They have very low prices and it sure beats campus food. Food critics would be appalled but for college kids we love it. The service is always really good and you don't have to wait hardly at all for the food to arrive. I'm not sure exactly what that says about the food but you can't complain about not waiting.
Review Source:Whether it be for a celebration, a dinner with friends or for the simple fact of a margarita craving, Puerto's is your spot. Their margaritas -- my oh my. Full of power. I suggest coming with a DD after you indulge in one of their fine drinks.
I'm fond of Puero's "IT Special." So good. It has been a favorite ever since my freshman year at Ball State. I can't tell you how many times I went to Puerto's during my four years in Muncie. A lot. It seemed to be the place to go for any gathering. With it being on Tillotson, it's literally just a jump away from campus.
I'm not a huge fan of their most recent salsa option. It didn't used to be so spicy - but it seems that they turned up the heat. Overall, a wonderful Mexican restaurant worthy of your time. Yay Muncie! If Muncie has anything to offer, it's Ball State and Puerto's.
