Quit dining close to the freeway and go south about 10 minutes!! This Mexican Restaurant is definitely better than most. The Chimichanga was the best my husband EVER had (and he has had many). It was chock full of beef, chicken, and shrimp! The flavor and tenderness of the meat was incredible!

When they say best Mexican restaurant in town honestly I think it’s the best Mexican restaurant I’ve eaten at. The food was so fresh and came so fast and was hot and the service was amazing and the restaurant was so clean. Very impressed and I will definitely be back when I’m in town the next time.

Love the place although this last time the cheese sauce was runnier than usual and staff was very slow. We didn’t even get asked for a second drink until we asked for boxes already. Don’t let that keep you away from there delicious authentic Mexican food.

I haven’t been in Effingham in well over 18 years. We were passing through from a road trip and decided Mexican food sounded good. So we came across Puerto Vallarta restaurant. We definitely were not disappointed. All of the workers were very pleasant and personable. The food was excellent and the portions were big. The atmosphere is very laid back. The prices are reasonable and the service was great. We definitely recommend this restaurant. So if you find yourself driving through Effingham, IL. and your feeling a bit hungry stop in at Puerto Vallarta restaurant you will not be disappointed.

Alright Mexican food. Good portions but the cheese on all of what I had was just squeeze cheese. Chips and salsa were good. The Hispaniola was disappointing coming from southern Colorado.
