Vallarta Tropical - Review - Lower East Side - New York - The Infatuation

"The people behind La Contenta on the Lower East Side have another restaurant next door inspired by Puerto Vallarta and the 1950s Mexican tiki bar scene. Under a thatched ceiling, you can eat some aguachile, crab enchiladas, and a chile relleno stuffed with various types of seafood. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

Big-Money Landlord Is Threatening to Evict Apollo Bagels Over ... Long Lines - Eater NY

"Retro tiki spot Vallarta Tropical opens today on the Lower East Side (106 Norfolk Street, at Delancey Street) from the group behind La Contenta — Rigoberto “Rigo” Cervantes, bartender Alex Valencia, and chef Manuel Quintero. Look for a menu of aquachiles (with mango or pineapple), tacos gobernator, tostada de tinga, chile relleno, and cocktails like Tiki Tepache, with rum from Jalisco, housemade tepache vinegar, Curaçao, and lime." - Melissa McCart

The food is absolutely delicious here - I’d say almost unexpectedly good. Didn’t take photos because I just ate through it too fast. We came in later in the day after a friend’s birthday gathering just to grab a few drinks and hang out - we ordered some of the food they had on the menu - delicious. Highly recommend and am definitely coming back just to eat. Tacos de carne asada - some of the best carne asada I’ve had, the tostado de ceviche a yum, and the torta ahogada - I’ve never had one before but it was delicious , apparently people barely order it because of the spice level but I found it delicious - not too spicy definitely well balanced in flavor

From the team of La Contena LES, I wanted to check out their new space right next door Vallarta Tropical. I didn't know what to expect but quickly realized what was going on. I love the infusion of Mexican spirits with a Tropical sensibility. Alex the Agave master and owner is always so hospitable and gracious with every guest in the space. Making sure cocktails are made to perfection and creating bespoke drinks for folks to try. You can't go wrong with Fish tacos along with the aguachile and ceviche. The food is on par with the cocktail program. You will not be disappointed.

5/5 stars! Amazing Mexican food and cocktails! Fresh flavors and exceptional service. The shrimp gorditas and aguachile vallarta were outstanding. Hands down, one good seafood spot! Delicious, authentic dishes, and a cozy atmosphere.

Great new spot! I tried their michelada and it was awesome. I also tried their agave spirits, mezcal, tequila, sotol, bacanora they have it all. Staff is amazing, great customer service. I got there late but they were nice enough to grab a night cap, I’ll return soon to try their seafood soon.

We enjoyed a delicious dinner here! There are many authentic options for food and drinks. Our waiter, Rafael helped us navigate their menus and pick the right drinks and dish for us. Rafael was very friendly and ensured our entire dinner was an enjoyable experience.
