“Went to Taqueria Vallarta this evening for dinner and I will say it definitely is worth stopping in. Everything ordered came out fast, fresh and flavorful with large portions. It's nice when a restaurant gives you entrees that actually leave you full.
The fried ice cream was quite tasty and I recommend it for sure though I bet the other items are great too. I didn't have a margarita but the ones I saw brought out looked great and the prices on margaritas and drinks look to be really good.

And that's the thing that really stood out, the value. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering how much food you get.

Akso the service was excellent. Everyone was friendly and attentive and the restaurant was very clean.

If you're looking for great food with fair prices and friendly service then Taqueria Vallarta is absolutely worth checking out. Even the chips and salsa were above average.“

“I work weekend doubles, it's one of the only places besides Taco Bell, Mc Donald's, and Whataburger that's open.
I stopped in on a Thursday night at 9:45pm because I had cash in my wallet.
Talked to the owner. This is his side hustle.
I got Barbacoa tacos.
AMAZING!!
Take cash! They're open late night Thursday through Sunday! In the Family Dollar parking lot.
Will go again!“

“The best mexican in Texas. Staff is friendly and food is amazing.“

“Do yourself a favor and try the Jalisco tacos!! So fire!! 🔥 fav taco truck.“

“Desde que llegué a vivir a Temple, este restaurante ha sido el lugar favorito de mi familia. Pero hoy tuvimos una experiencia absolutamente inaceptable. Conozco al gerente y, al llegar, nos colocaron junto a la puerta del privado. Ahí solo había dos comensales y el gerente, quien parecía estar de fiesta. Literalmente, los gritos y carcajadas no paraban y eran insoportablemente fuertes. Cuando la mesera se acercó, le pedí respetuosamente que cerrara la puerta de cristal para poder comer en paz. La mesera accedió y cerró la puerta, pero el gerente, el causante del ruido, le ordenó que la dejara abierta. En lugar de preguntar o disculparse, gritó que nos moviéramos a otra mesa. Esto es completamente inaceptable y una falta de respeto total. Solicité el cierre de la puerta de manera muy respetuosa, pero durante toda nuestra estancia, los gritos y risas del gerente y sus amigos fueron mucho más fuertes que la música del lugar. Que el gerente no solo genere tanto ruido sino que también maneje la situación de manera tan irrespetuosa es una vergüenza. El grito de "muévanse de mesa" fue un desafío y una muestra de que le molestó nuestra petición. Esto fue lo único que pedimos. El gerente nunca dio la cara y dejó que la mesera, quien seguía sus órdenes, manejara la situación. Es obvio que el ruido no se puede controlar al 100%, pero que el gerente sea el que genere el alboroto es inaceptable. Espero que esto llegue a oídos de los propietarios, la "Familia León". Es crucial que muestren respeto por quienes vamos a comer ahí y queremos hacerlo en paz. El ruido es entendible hasta cierto punto, pero que el gerente sea el responsable de semejante caos es intolerable. Esta situación es una muestra clara de una gestión ineficaz y una falta de respeto hacia los clientes. Espero que se tomen las medidas necesarias para garantizar que situaciones como esta no se repitan.“

“Their NEW CHICKEN BREAST plate is amazing! I am a Diabetic and they let me substitute the rice & beans to the grilled vegetables! So it's a great choice, amazing flavor on the chicken breast & grilled squash, carrots, Zucchini, cauliflower & broccoli! It's amazing!!!!!“

“Stopped here on our way back to Dallas from Austin and I’m really glad we did. You can tell it’s family owned because everyone was so welcoming and made us feel at home. The food came out fresh and had a lot of flavor. The salsa was really good and everything tasted homemade. Portions were generous too. Definitely one of those places you find by chance and end up wanting to come back to next time you’re driving through. Highly recommend if you’re passing by!“

“For a little restaurant, their menu was exceptionally large- the food arrived quick and was very good. The service and cleanliness were great too, especially the bathroom. The bakery had a wide variety of options, and the 2 items we got were pretty decent. The price was great for the amount of food we got, and I think this is a very exceptional restaurant that we would come back too!“

“Always great food! Guaranteed 👍“

“We love Earnies, the food is always great. Customer service is a hit or miss, all the men are always very friendly and enjoyable. The women, not so much, they act like the customers are a bother. I’ll turn around and leave if I see them working, I’ll never pay someone to be rude.“

“Great food, Great atmosphere“

“Had a great experience at Chuy’s Harker Heights! Our server Mykah was exceptional! The food was delicious and service excellent.“

“Great reliable Mexican restaurant with an amazing ambiance, friendly service, and delicious food! Highly recommend!“

“Michelle is a godsend. My dog jumped out of my car and was pinned under the car in front of us in the drive thru. Michelle on the late night crew jumped out of the window, lifted the car off my dog and saved her life all while taking orders and getting the line knocked out. Thank you for being amazing Michelle!“

“me and my friend have been going to specifically this location for the longest time and every time we go we always look for nate who’s the night shift lead. not only has he provided an amazing atmosphere for me and my friend to unwind in and just feel at home in, but no matter how good or bad of a day he’s had; he always keeps the work floor happy, efficiently working, and does so with impeccable customer service and attention to detail. this is why i generally only go to this location at night as it’s the only thing i ever really look forward to outside of getting food. :))“

“Clean restaurant with no unpleasant smell that I have experienced at other Taco Bell locations.
They got the order correct, which is also better than other restaurants I have been to recently.
Food was still hot when I got it home.“
