Puerto Vallarta

There's a new place opening up in Fern Creek off of Beulah Church Rd. Anyone have an idea if it's related to the two Mexican locations in Indiana?

Thanks.

Don't know, but if it is, it's a good thing. I find Puerto Vallarta just a small notch above the similar Mexican restaurants in the genre - El Nopal, Los Aztecas, etc.

They look to be opening within the next couple weeks; putting finishing touches on the insides. I'll try and make it over there to check it out.

I live near the one in New Albany and I love the place. Funny thing about them is that they are the only Mexican restaurant I know that really makes great and tasty rice. It seems like a goofy thing but I am always impressed by their attention to a usually overlooked side item.

LOVE PV! They do make the best rice and their burrito de la roquetta is one of my favorite dishes in town.

I really enjoy Puerto Vallarta's potato enchiladas! My boyfriend and I live near the one in Jeffersonville, so we are usually in there a few times a month.

i met my friend for lunch at the one in New Albany the other day. It was my first experience there and I was pleased. I mean...it's no La Rosita but compared to the average Mexican joints, it's pretty good!

If all inspections go well, they are shooting for a soft opening this thursday. Typically we would push for a monday soft opening, but I think that they are pulling some of there crew in from other stores.

Great news, David. Especially since I live near across the street Good Luck!

Oooh - this is great news! I went to the one in Jeffersonville and they told me, there, that it was indeed the same Puerta I spent many a night at when I was a college student in Bowling Green. Mmm...

I love to eat there its my fav. I go about once a week, cant help it i live bout 5mins. from the one on c-town Rd.
chicken fajita quesadillas Rays fav. and i like everything else. In fact i will be leaving to go to Mexico in oh bout 5 days and just so happens Puerto Vallarta is where im staying. B

Puerto Vallarta in Fern Creek is now open for business; according to their banner and signs. I have yet to make it inside, but will give a report when I've done so.

I managed to make it to Puerto Vallarta in Fern Creek and will at least give my opinion. I'm not as good as Robin at this sort of thing.

Cleanliness - It was clean. No, really. I saw no sign of debris on the floor or plates/glasses left on tables. It was a good first impression they wanted people to feel comfortable.

Seating - As soon as I walked in, there was someone by the door; didn't have to wait at all. I was seated promptly in a comfortable booth and asked for a drink order. As I was not sure of what to get, I choose water. While looking at the menu, another employee was passing by and made sure a server had been around to my table.

( Mental note: I don't know if this was a sign for new restaurants, but they seemed to ask me a little TOO much if things were ok. HOWEVER, it did not make me extremely uncomfortable. I knew they wanted to make sure, being newer, a good word had gotten out about their place. )

Food - I'm not sure. What I ate was good. I believed it to be called Puerto Vallarta Special. Two enchiladas with shredded chicken, loads of lettuce, and topped with Guacamole/Sour Cream. It was very good. I ordered the item and it came out not 5 minutes afterward.

The salsa/chips they served before were ok too. I've had better salsas in Louisville, but believed those to have been at store. I knnow one store grow its own peppers and makes their salsa. Most, I think, use premade.

Checkout - The server was prompt in delivering the check; everyone was nice; and I felt it was a good value for the entree.

I'll try more of their dishes and recommend others to give it a shot; especially anyone that lives in the area. As you all well know, this is a food wasteland.
