I love Puerto Vallarta!!! It is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant to eat at. Â I went to Ball State and made sure I had money to eat there at least once a week. Â About a year ago I moved to Austin, TX and couldn't wait to try the Mexican food there being closer to the border and all. Â I was very disappointed with the Mexican food and have been craving Puerto for about a year now. Â Finally I'm in Muncie visiting family and I'm not leaving until I get my fix and eat some Puerto's!
Review Source:We meet my boyfriend's father here for lunch. Â Before we ordered he said, "I can't believe you guys want to eat Mexican food here being from Texas and all.". The thought never occurred to me up until this moment. Â He was right. Â Mexican food is better in Texas. Â I ordered the chicken fajita nachos and got a plate full of chips covered in a thick chicken soupy looking mixture. Â It wasn't bad, but it was definitely not what I was expecting to get. Â The boyfriend got a lunch portion of the fajitas. Â It came with a ton of meat. Â It wasn't terrible, but I've definitely had better. Â The inside decor was a bit drab, but the waitstaff was friendly and attentive. Â It wasn't bad overall, but I will definitely wait until I am back home to go out for Mexican food again.
Review Source:I moved back up here after living for about six years in McAllen, Texas on the Texas Mexico border in the tip of Texas. My feeling, along with the rest of my family, that is native to the south Texas area, is that this is about as close to authentic Mexican food as you are going to get in Muncie, Indiana.
Review Source:In grad school we would come here almost every week. We would come here mid week and order up a bunch of the margaritas specials that were on sale. We would all be buzzing from those drinks. My favorite dish here was the Ismail Special, which consisted of chopped chicken, shrimp and rice rolled up in a tortilla roll. The price was reasonable for the amount of food. Not including drinks the bill was about $10 a person. I definitely miss coming here; they need to open up one of these in Chicago.
Review Source:This became such a cliche place to get Mexican food...in the middle of the Midwest. But the food itself is filling, the wait staff not so bad. They make a killer pitcher of Margarita that will make you turn over your keys early and turn you into an animal (literally I acted like I was a walrus once). A fun place to take someone on their 21st in a group for good food and cheap drinks.
Review Source:i like the atmosphere here a lot, you can get pretty rowdy and not get yelled at. you might get glares from families with children. oops. i really don't dig on puerto's food that much. i used to love the pitchers of top shelf margaritas, but it seems like they're more sweet and sour than they used to be and they kill my stomach. i really wish that the wheeling location would add an outdoor patio section, that lot that's on the side by marsh would be perfect for it.
