Editorial Review for Vallejo's Mexican Restaurant – by Kira O'Donnell
The Scene
This little restaurant rocks during the week, when it's heavily patronized by downtown businesspeople looking for a little south-of-the-border relief from their dreary office environments. Weekends are a better time to enjoy its Tex-Mex charms.
The Food
The chicken quesedilla tends to have a funky texture, so stick with the steak. Entrees fall somewhere between the traditional Mexican food we grew up with and the yuppie, California-Mex stuff we gravitate toward now. Any of the burritos will fill you up for only a few pesos. But beware the veggie burrito which is basically a huge slab of cheese wrapped in rice, beans and tortilla. Garlic scampi shrimp and the Zapata, a humongous burrito stuffed with whole beans, rice, meat, guacamole, pico de gallo, and cheese is topped with mole sauce and melted cheese.

This is the Vallejo's for the under 50s group. A classic place with great decor and service. It's hours, decor, ambiance, menu are geared to the downtown office clientel. This is for the non-Spanish speakers who know what good, authentic Mexican food is and seek out places where they can get it.
Pros: food, service, seldom crowded
Cons: closed Sundays, too hip, noisy
