Vallarta Express in the Village is one of my favorite spots when I’m craving a really good burrito. My absolute favorite is the Surf & Turf Burrito — it’s packed with flavor, filling, and always hits the spot. The combination of steak and shrimp is so good, and the portions are generous. Definitely my go-to order and something I keep coming back for. Highly recommend!
Every time I'm back in Cali I go here. The Shrimp burrito and Carne Asada is my go to.
Stellar breakfast burritos that probably weigh 1.5 to 2 lbs. crazy size for being on of the cheaper things on their menu.
Their horchata is baller and a good option for a beach day in the sun!

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.
