Sept 2025....we still continue to come here every time we drive in from Pittsburgh to Kraynak's. Great food, good value, friendly staff! Thank you!
Excellent food, great value! Will come here again!
Every time we visit Kraynak's (90 minutes from home) we eat here and we just love it. Lots of delicious menu options. Fast service, conveniently located and prices are very good. We would definitely come more often if we lived closer.

We live in Hermitage and this is the only decent restaurant in Hermitage. We have been here numerous times. Great mexican food from fajitas to birria. Excellent cocktails, good service. Clean and comfortable. Highly recommend.

I went there and sat at the bar. The bartender placed a bowl of salsa and chips in front of me just like any other Mexican restaurant. I ordered two beers and a bowl of cheese dip. When he gave me the bill I noticed they charge me $3.99.for chips and salsa. Mind you I did not ask for it, and again assume just like any other Mexican restaurant it is complementary. I asked the bartender and he said because I did not order an entrée in the charge for chips and salsa, even though I didn't even ask for it. I'll never go there again.
Everything was great. Appetizers, food, service, and atmosphere. You will LOVE this place.

On a long road trip, we stopped at this exit as it had the most chain restaurant options, but we saw this Mexican restaurant and gave it a try. It did NOT disappoint. Super clean, vibrantly decorated, and appointed with unique ‘green’ walls imitating plants and vegetation. The bathroom was cleaner than mine at home. The food was fresh, hot, and delicious. Great service and the food came out quickly. Great find. Highly recommend, it’s always a good idea to skip the chain restaurants - especially when there’s a great option like this.

This is my second time going here in the last three months and was up all night long for the second time with diarrhea. It's bad enough that this town doesn't have any good restaurants. I'll definitely never eat here again. The salsa and guacamole tasted like it was very old and messed up my order again
We had the best meal and they have the most amazing ribeye steak and that sauce is to die for definitely will be back

El Vallarta has been our go-to Mexican restaurant in Mercer County for years and we’ve always had excellent meals. On our most recent trip, we were surprised to see that they had remodeled, and in talking to our server we learned that they completed renovations in less than a month, which is impressive with all of the changes they made. It is much nicer looking inside with (fake) plants, more aesthetically pleasing lighting, and new booths, and they’ve opened up walls to make the restaurant less segmented. Of course the food was as excellent as ever with very tender and flavorful shredded beef topping the enchiladas rancheros and plenty of chips and salsa! We had enough to take leftovers home, which we always enjoy. We also recommend the burritos mexicanos and tacos a la carte, though we did not order those on this trip. The menu is massive, so there’s something for everyone!
