I came here upon the invitation of a friend for dinner. We were seated immediately. Chips & salsa were placed in front of us while we perused the huge menu. I finally decided on the taco salad while my friend ordered the burrito special. The chips were fresh but the salsa was the consistency of tomato sauce. I think salsa should have chunks of onion, tomato & peppers with a little cilantro thrown in for good flavor. Our food arrived quickly & we both enjoyed it. I took some of mine home to eat later for a midnight snack. I would eat here again when visiting Muncie.

This is my favorite Puerto in Muncie, but it has the worst venue. They are the quickest. Their margs are the strongest. I just wish it wasn't so small. Whenever I am in there I feel like I am on top of the people I am eating with and the other patrons present.

Came here after looking at Yelp reviews. I was NOT disappointed! This is the real deal Mexican place! Lots of Hispanics enjoying the atmosphere, food and drink helps to edify it's authenticity! I had the chicken "chimi". It was crispy and the chicken was really flavorful, not just chicken out of a can! The rice and beans were great! The chips and salsa were great, the cheese dip was great and the margaritas were great! I sat at the bar on the cool retro stools. I'll be going back when I'm there in a week!

In Muncie, we the think the Wheeling Ave Puerto Vallarta offers the best service. Every time we visit, and we dine there often, the staff go out of their way to make us feel welcome. We have come to know several of the waiters, bussers, and hostesses, which makes dining here more enjoyable. However, we feel the food at the Tillotson Ave location is superior-- especially the tacos. At the Tillotson location, the tacos taste juicier & more fresh. So we love both places, but for different reasons.

I wouldn't doubt the importance of Puerto Vallarta as a Muncie staple, but from the vantage point of an outsider looking in, it's just nothing special and doesn't stand out at all from the ubiquitous lackluster Mexican restaurants of Central Indiana.
We've been in several times for lunch since it's a convenient meeting place for a meal with our family from the Winchester area. It's this rather than the food that brings us back. I haven't had anything spectacular; this recent visit I tried the huevos con chorizo and it was just alright, not too spicy so not too much flavor. Rice and beans were okay.
Usually at these places at least I find that the salsa is good, but not here...honestly it's probably what put it down to 2 stars instead of 3. I never, ever say this about salsa, but theirs is just bad. It is in DESPERATE need of onion, and also doesn't have any cilantro in it, just seems like tomato and some spice (but not enough to make it flavorful).
I'm sure we'll be back again since the food is decent enough and convenient, but next time I'll probably try something else and do without filling up on chips and salsa.
