The Conscientious Critique
Taco Shop 101…. The iconic idealism of what a SoCal taco shop is…. Great food… Decent pricing… Good variety of choices… Authentic taste… Great taco shop vibe… Winner winner taco combo dinner. The taco shells were on point crispy, light and had great bite. the meat was seasoned well. Great amount of cheese and lettuce… The beans were just perfectly cooked and had great flavor. The rice was classic mexican rice taste and was not dry or flavorless. The enchiladas were delicious and the sauce had a perfect mix of tomato and seasoning. The breakfast burrito was big and was packed full of flavor. Plenty of seating… Drive thru.. Fast ordering.. Quick service… Close to beach… This is a great classic taco shop spot.

I have never, and I mean NEVER, tasted a veggie burrito like this. It was exceptionally flavorful and puts other veggie burritos to shame. I also tried the Christian Fries, and they really were the best thing ever. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the restaurant is open 24/7.
Great food, great prices, and great service! You can't go wrong with Vallarta Express.

Just enjoyed the best breakfast burrito I've ever had in SD! Compliments to the cooks as they are great at what they do. Anyone looking for a late night snack needs to try them out.

The BEST burritos in town! I have been going to Vallarta Express for years and it never disappoints. The service is always great, the food is delicious, and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend the carne asada burrito and the California burrito. The Christian Fries are also a must-try!

The food is great and the drive thru moves pretty quick even when it’s busy. The burritos and nachos are absolutely massive, you definitely get your money’s worth there.
