This place is great! Very authentic, the owner is from Mexico and the entire kitchen staff are mexican-do not even speak english. Love this restaurant and go there at least a couple times a month. Have never had something bad from the menu, though we have favorites that we order frequently. The fajitas are great! Cinco de Mayo celebration is... More

They were really good when they first opened on Linden Road. Now they have become mediocre! This is NOT authentic mexican food! They do not even make their own sauces. More

I have been frequenting this restaurant since it has opened a couple years ago. It is the best authentic mexican in the area. The wait staff has largely remained the same so it is nice to be recognized and then thanked for your patronage on the way out. More

I've been to multiple "authentic" mexican restaurants around the country, where typically food is frozen thrown in an oven stirred and called mexican. As a former (unbiased) employee, I can say with legitimacy they shave and process (by which I mean grind and chop by hand, no machines) their own meat down, chop all of the lettuce, tomatoes and onions...

Prices are reasonable, large amount of seating, service prompt. Waiters are personable and many twinkle with a bit of humor to make your eating experience happier. Love the margaritas which have a bit of a punch. It is not fancy, not "cheffie" but you receive a reliable Mexican entree. Chips and salsa kept overflowing. No hidden charges. Colorful and fun...

Everything was excellent here. To start the salsa was perfect, home-made and fresh. I wouldn't say the main courses were miles above standard Mexican fare, but they were delicious all the same. The margarita was very good. We loved the service. Everyone was so friendly and treated us like family. Additionally, the setting was interesting with the bright colors of... More

The food is exceptional along with the service. The manager always shakes my hand and gives me a friendly "hello." The service is fast and attentive. The food is great. My wife and I have been here 15-20 times and each time we leave satisfied. We will continue to frequent the restraunt as it is the best in Grand Blanc!! More

We frequently visit Nuevo Vallarta for dinner - and have been regular customers since they opened in Grand Blanc. The food is very good, always hot....and served fast (If you would like to savor your appetizers and margaritas....ask the waiter to delay your order for a few minutes). Service (with the exception of only one visit) is exceptional. The single... More
