Best Mexican

When Art and EfrianVallejo decided to open Vallejo?s Mexican Deli in 1983, they had a vision of a family owned and operated restaurant. That vision has come true, and since 1983 the Vallejo brothers have opened two other Vallejo?s restaurants in the midtown area.

These restaurants are located at 1331 O St., 1100 O St.and 1900 4th St. The 1331 O St. location and the 1900 4th St. locations carry the same great authentic Mexican food menu. The 1100 O S.t location has more of an upscale menu that specializes in seafood dishes.

Whichever location you choose, you will find a clean, fun atmosphere with outstanding service. The music and decorations of the restaurants will make you feel as if you have stepped into an old style Mexican town. The attention to delivery and preparation of the food at Vallejo?s will make you crave more.

I would recommend trying out the roasted jalapeno peppers as an appetizer. This will leave room to move on to an abundant selection of entrees and specials. The price of entrees range from around $4 up to $12. I highly recommend the house specialty of carnitas with salad and flour tortillas. The macho jumbo burrito served with enchilada sauce is for the heartier eater, but nonetheless, has the same amazing taste. Because the entrees are more than enough to eat, the staff is more than happy to give you a to-go box so you can enjoy your food later.

With the friendly wait staff and personable restaurant owners, you will find the Vallejo?s Mexican Restaurant an unforgettable dining experience that you will want to duplicate soon thereafter.
