Puerto Vallarta Restaurant is a gem nestled on Grape Rd in Mishawaka, Indiana, offering a delightful taste of authentic Mexican cuisine. With an inviting atmosphere and attentive service, this eatery has garnered rave reviews from patrons who appreciate its commitment to great food at even better prices.
On Wednesdays, the allure of $1.50 tacos lures in many, including Andrew Gutierrez, who praises the fantastic flavors and affordability. For larger groups, Katie Helgesen highlights the restaurant’s excellent margaritas and attentive staff, such as Caro, who ensures everyone leaves satisfied.
One standout dish noted by Milani Alvarez is the weekend-only carnitas tacos, touted as the best in the South Bend area, particularly when paired with a refreshing horchata. Jayna Patel’s experience showcases the diverse menu; while initially craving enchiladas, she was pleasantly surprised by the pollo a la crema, a generous portion that left her feeling delighted.
Fast service and delicious fajitas further cement Puerto Vallarta as a must-visit destination for Mexican food enthusiasts. This restaurant not only serves a vibrant array of dishes but also cultivates a welcoming environment, making every meal a memorable event.

Delicious food, even better margaritas. We had a big group and Caro took care of us. Everyone was happy.

Great service! I had the carnitas tacos (which is only available on the weekends) and I will say that theirs is the best in the South Bend area! I paired my meal with a delicious horchata.

I came in wanting enchiladas and left with a belly full of pollo a la crema. It was 1.50 taco night on Wednesday so I couldn’t help but try a taco, which was delicious. The pollo a la crema was great and was a very large portion.

Honestly, the best authentic Mexican place around the south Bend of Mishawaka area. You also cannot beat their prices! You can get a full meal like a steak burrito, chips and salsa and a drink for like 11 and it’s all authentic! However, I’m not a fan of salsa so I order their Mexican street corn and eat it with my chips. I always do Uber eats and I’ve never had a problem! But this place is absolutely fabulous and I order from them at least once or twice a week!! Once you’ve tried them you’ll never wanna go back to chipotle again and chipotle and I used to be best friends!

Warm and cozy atmosphere. Delicious food! Started with a lime jarrito for hubby and mike’s hard lemonade for me. It was a little loud but not disturbingly so. The spinach artichoke dip was our appetizer and it was really good. The dip was very different and reminded me of a ranch veggie dip with spinach and artichoke added in. The free chips were warm and the salsa had a little spice to it but tasted more like marinara in a good way and no heart burn from it. Used the chips to finish eating our spinach dip because there weren’t a ton of chips with the dip. I was glad because it would have felt wasteful with too many chips at the table. I got the veggie fajitas with no beans or tortillas because I just like the inside stuff. Should have added chicken like I usually do but I hesitated and stuck with just veggies. Still very yummy just would have been even tastier and more substantial with chicken added. The Spanish rice was good and tasted very homemade. Still not my favorite rice ever but it was very good. (I think most places use short grain rice and theirs was long grain which was a good kind of different). Hubby got burrito campechano and loved it but said it was very filling in comparison to the typical wet burrito dish he likes to get at other restaurants. We finished up with the apple chimichanga to share for dessert. It was soooo good! In the past I used to love apple pancakes but have since decided I no longer like pancakes. This was similar with the apples in a cinnamon glaze but wrapped in a fried tortilla which means I have a way to get my apple dessert fix without the pancakes now! It was so good just with the tortilla and apples I almost forgot to try it with the whipped cream and ice cream. The textures and flavors were so wonderful together it’ll be in my sweet dreams tonight for sure :) About 43 for everything before tip makes this one of the most affordable, delicious, and all around best experiences we’ve had in a while.

If you have been to Mexico or South Texas and want to return without the trip, this is the place to eat. The food is great, the prices reasonable to cheap and the service is very good and family like.
