El Vallarta Mexican Cantina - Hermitage

By far the best Mexican food I’ve had in a very long time.

We were there for my birthday with family and friends. They put a Sombrero on me, sang to me while putting whipped cream on my mouth and brought me a dessert. It was fun and I didn't mind the whipped cream. Food was delicious!

The food was good service was not great. I would not blame our server. She was the only server doing anything she was swamped, even though there were several other employees there.

One of the worst experiences ever. Save your time and money and go to La Isla! The service was awful. Chips were just out of a bag. Salsa has no taste. Had to ask multiple times for things. I thought maybe he couldn’t understand English very well… but he would repeat everything back to me so he obviously understood. Some people were charged for multiple pops. Other people somehow had free refills. He got almost every order wrong also! When he went to hand me my card back, he was not paying attention and my card went right under the table. Luckily I saw it. Then he lost my friends card completely. Luckily he found it somewhere after we explained we were upset. Absolutely ridiculous!!! Barely even saw him asking how things were and etc.I will never be going there again. I have enough stress trying to make sure the kiddos are taken care of and I don’t have time to help my waiter also.I understand people have bad days, but other people could have helped him out. They were all just on their phones. There was only 3 other booths in the entire restaurant that had people in them.

Food was good, but our server seemed distracted unable to serve the orders to the correct people. Otherwise it was a nice atmosphere for a large group such as ours, for smaller families also. Very clean friendly workers. The Chimichongas rice were good, was told the vegetarian dinner was good.
