Restaurants near Valparaiso

“They have made two very special cakes for my daughter’s 1st and 4th birthday! Not only were they visually exactly what I wanted but both were the best cakes I’ve ever had.”

“Holy Guacamole — This Place Is Nacho Average Mexican Spot! To get to the main event: the quesadilla. Oh. My. Guac. This wasn’t just the best quesadilla I’ve ever had — it was quite possibly the pinnacle of human culinary achievement. The tortilla was golden, crisped to perfection with just the right amount of buttery char. And inside? A molten lava flow of cheese so rich and gooey it could’ve been declared a national treasure. Add to that the perfectly seasoned meat (I went with the chicken, but I suspect any option would be un-burrito-ble) and a side of their homemade salsa that added just the right kick — I was completely cheesed off… in the best way possible. I was also thoroughly impressed by the attention to detail — the tortillas tasted freshly made, the toppings were thoughtfully layered, and even the slaw had crunch and flavor that made each bite nacho run-of-the-mill. Service? Absolutely en-taco-ging. Friendly, fast, and full of great recommendations! If you’re looking for a place that delivers on authenticity, flavor, and an all-around good time, this restaurant really tortilla new one! In short: • Best quesadilla ever? Check. • Amazing tacos? Check. • Left in a state of blissful food coma? Absolutely. • Would I go back? You bet your guac I would. Do yourself a favor and get your taco-loving self to this place. It’s nacho something you want to miss.”

“This is the best place in the area. I’ve driven an hour just to go here. Always look forward to going here. The food is always good and the service is also very friendly and professional. He constantly cleans the table and disinfect the door which is very comforting these days. Food is always and constantly great. Tastes the same every time I went. Also, love summer bean dessert wish it was year round if I had to complain about something. Lol. Highly highly recommend !!!!”

“Went there for the first time, needless to say I will be back again. I had a coffee, wrap, and a cinnamon roll. The coffee is fantastic, the food is delicious. The staff is very friendly. Even though it was carry out, the inside is clean and has that retro vibe. I will have to go during the weekend and take my wife on a breakfast date. It’s also Veteran Owned.”

“The setting and the food are incredible! Tonight I had the lobster tacos for dinner with the e tuna dip for an appetizer to share, but honestly I could have just eaten my weight in hush puppies and strawberry butter.

Treat yourself and support local by giving Dat Burrito a try!”

“Louisiana here, all restaurants along the beach had a 3+ hour wait. So we decided to go across more in the town and try something new. No wait just walked in a very classy inside. We have never had Korean BBQ, everything we ate and drank was phenomenal. My Louisiana taste buds were very pleased! I would definitely come back on my next Florida stay if I am in the area.”

All of the employees there are friendly and helpful! And, hands down…..the best ice cream!!”
