Vallarta Express Mexican Eatery in Carlsbad offers authentic Mexican food with a good variety of choices, capturing a true taco shop vibe. The shrimp tacos and taco shells are notable, with tender, flavorful meat and crispy, light shells. The beans, rice, and enchiladas are also praised for their delicious flavors. For vegetarians, the veggie burrito is very flavorful and many dishes can be easily made vegetarian. The Christian Fries are a must-try, and the adobada burrito, featuring exquisite pork adobo inside a flour tortilla, has received high praise from customers.
The restaurant is family operated and open 24 hours a day, providing excellent value and a large menu of traditional Mexican dishes. The building, which looks like a converted 1960s dairy Queen, is well-maintained and painted up nicely. The staff is friendly, and there is plenty of seating and a drive-thru option for convenience. Located near the beach, Vallarta Express continues to be a popular spot for authentic Mexican food with generous portions.
