Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

The price is right, however you get what you pay for. Everything is filled with pure Unstrained oily meat. Tacos, burritos, quesadillas... Tons of oil! It's pretty nasty. Either it can be dried prior to serving or the cook can use less oil. The three of us had to pick through and blot our meals. Not so bueno. Salsa and chips are decent. Pico de gallo is heavy on raw onion. Guac is yummy. Service is great. No choice on beans?!? What?!? Refried or nothing. No pinto or black beans. Super bummed about this. Have been here many times, however now that there is so much more competition in town, Puerta Vallerta will not make the cut. Sorry.

This ought not be called a Mexican restaurant. It's that simple. It could qualify as a "Mexican-themed Hoosier restaurant". On an overall level of service and wholesomeness, the place does make the minimum standards, but it's not Mexican. After years of living in the Corpus Christi, Texas, area and eating food cooked in restaurants by Mexicans for Mexicans, I decided to take a risk.. This place in Muncie falls utterly flat. The so-called "salsa" is better described as "tomato juice with seeds". I have had zingier stuff as a beverage, and the texture is quite wrong. Anyway, I had the chili colorado. Bland, some slight flavor in the sauce, the meat was just fajita beef, not properly cooked for chili colorado. The only beans available were refried beans, no charros? Then, to add insult to injury, I had to order pico as an extra. REALLY????? PICO AS AN EXTRA???? This place dares to call itself Mexican???? I ended up sending the pico back because it had no zing at all. Onions, tomatoes, parsley(?????), maybe a little bit of actual cilantro, a fiftieth of a drop of citrus juice, and someone MIGHT have waved around a single jalapeno 20 miles away from it. If you want Mexican food, stay away from this place, completely, It is not Mexican.Find some place full of Mexicans as customers, that's what it boils down to.

Coming from Chicago I have had my fair share of excellent Mexican restaurants. I was leary when some of my new college friends and Muncie locals took me to Puerta for the first time. However, I was thoroughly pleased. The steak quesadilla is fantastic, and the cheese in it is great. I'm not normally a fan of this style of quesadilla, but this was good. I'm a very picky eater as it is, and the combo of steak, cheese, mushrooms, onions and green peppers was absolutely mouth watering. The rice isn't bad either--I usually base my liking for Mexican restaurants on their rice, and Puerta definitely fits the bill. It's a great place to go with a group of friends, and if you're on campus, keep a look out in the coupon booklets because sometimes they offer deals. Overall, a great place to eat some good ethnic cuisine!

Ugh. UGH! The food was awful, and cold. The waitstaff was terrible. A man with a GUN HANGING OUT OF HIS PANTS sat in the booth next to us, and began to talk very loudly and angrily with his female friend. No joke, I was about to leave without paying.

4 stars on the Mexican food scale. Best find in Muncie so far. Took a party of 30 & everyone was pleased. Service was great. Everything was hot & fresh. Cleanliness was acceptable. Would most definitely go back.

Muncie, IN: Reasonable prices 07/14/2015. In trying to change up our dinner cuisine, we all agreed Mexican might be a good choice tonight. FOOD Hawaiian Plate Carne Assada #7, 2 Tacos Beef Chimichanga Average prices, average portions, but oh, so generous cheese garnish! My photos will have to speak for the respective dishes as I failed to jot notes. However, the cheese sauce toppings over the chimichanga and refried beans was very generous and is what stands out for me, = plus one star! Food was acceptable to where our dining companion did take his Carne Asada leftovers back to reheat for lunch the next day. Service was friendly, reasonable, and decently attentive. Lots of free parking in their lot. Large dining room with plenty of table and booth seating available. Located on Wheeling, north of McGallard, behind a large grocery store, on the left if you're heading north on Wheeling.

The service has been very good every time I have visited. The food is on par with most all Mexican restaurants. Queso is good. Margaritas, top shelf, are tasty and strong. Good chimichanga, good fajitas, good service!!! The overall ambiance of this location is somewhat lacking, hence the 3 star rating. We enjoyed the food, the service and will return.

So this "Porta's" is where an old school Muncie restaurant called "Bandido's" ( think it was supposed to be Bandito's) used to be. They had good burritos. That is ancient history, but when "Porta's" was looking to expand there was a stucco building that looked like a Mexican restaurant ready for them. The food is the same as the other locations. This one tends to have fewer college students and more townies from Farmington. This location also tends to be less busy than the others. The food is typical Midwestern Mexican. Solid, not amazing though.
(4)Rick G.
I would consider this location "pretty good", but the quality of the food isn't quite up to par with the location on Tillotison. The food is decent, but it lacks that "kick" that the other location seeds to have. On the plus side, the service at this location is STELLAR. If I'm on the north side of Muncie and craving Mexican, and on a tight schedule, I'd stop here. Otherwise, I'd drive to one of their other locations.

Good portions and prices. All the mex joints in town are about the same, but this one is fine. Ask for chile de arbol salsa if you find the normal red salsa boring. I mostly just wanted to welcome back the torta!

Had the worst service I've had in a long time. We're new to the area and we have been on the hunt for a good Mexican place. Our server rushed us to order and then did not check on us. We needed an extra plate for our baby and had to ask 3 people for one. The waiter offered us water and never brought it to us. He also never brought us salsa. The food was okay but nothing out of the ordinary. The margaritas might as well have been virgin. The hunt for a good Mexican place in Muncie continues.

WOAH WOAH WOAH.....What's up with the negative reviews?! This place is CLASSIC, Muncie's BEST! I grew up eating here, and I still LOVE it to this day. I currently live in Chicago, and I STILL have yet to find a fair subsititute. The thing is, there are other good Mexican restaurants, but they are either too pricey, or they taste boring, like everything else. PUERTA, as I like to call it, is the best place to go with a group of friends, get a delicious, STRONG margarita pitcher for only $14, some chips and salsa and white cheese dip, and a plethora of amazing entree options! And I am here to tell you, folks, you need to appreciate that pitcher price. Once in Chicago, I paid $25 for a really small margarita pitcher, and it wasn't nearly as strong or tastey as Puerta's. YEAH, and that's cheap in comparison to some other places. So, when I see these negative reviews about my FAV Mexican place, I get a little defensive. And don't start with me about the service! I have always had AMAZING top notch service at Puerta's, at least at this location! Everyone is always so nice and friendly and helpful. And no matter how long I've been gone, somebody always recognizes me! Thank you Puerta for always being there through the years.

I love Puerto Vallarta. I've lived in Muncie for 13 years and have eaten at P.V. more frequently than any other restaurant in town. They have 3 different locations and they're all great. Tillotson location seems the nicest and newest with the most seating while the Broadway location seems the oldest, smallest, and a little rough around the edges and the Wheeling Ave, location is the spot I frequent the most often due to its proximity to my home in Halteman Village. The food is consistently spot on, hot, tasty, and made quickly. My favorite items include enchiladas supreme, carnitas, Ismael special, and parilla Mexicana. Margaritas are well made either as stiff or sweet as you prefer and a reasonable price available in sizes from small to ridiculously huge. The atmosphere is nothing special even for a Midwestern Mexican place but who cares when the food, service, and price are this good, I could eat here everyday and never get tired of it. Chips and salsa are always readily available for free and refilled as quickly as you can finish them. The only thing I don't like is that you pay at the register when you're finished rather than the server handling your bill but that's really insignificant in the grand scheme of how much I enjoy this company. If you hear somebody complain of authenticity or refer to the food as basterdized American versions of traditional mexican food ask that person when they last had dinner in Mexico then politely allow them to fuck off because this place rules.

I moved back up here after living for about six years in McAllen, Texas on the Texas Mexico border in the tip of Texas. My feeling, along with the rest of my family, that is native to the south Texas area, is that this is about as close to authentic Mexican food as you are going to get in Muncie, Indiana.

You can always count on PV for good food, good drinks, low prices, and good service......I hate sitting that little back room but other than that I can always depend on PV for a good experience! Seems like the staff has changed a few times this year.

We meet my boyfriend's father here for lunch. Before we ordered he said, "I can't believe you guys want to eat Mexican food here being from Texas and all.". The thought never occurred to me up until this moment. He was right. Mexican food is better in Texas. I ordered the chicken fajita nachos and got a plate full of chips covered in a thick chicken soupy looking mixture. It wasn't bad, but it was definitely not what I was expecting to get. The boyfriend got a lunch portion of the fajitas. It came with a ton of meat. It wasn't terrible, but I've definitely had better. The inside decor was a bit drab, but the waitstaff was friendly and attentive. It wasn't bad overall, but I will definitely wait until I am back home to go out for Mexican food again.

In grad school we would come here almost every week. We would come here mid week and order up a bunch of the margaritas specials that were on sale. We would all be buzzing from those drinks. My favorite dish here was the Ismail Special, which consisted of chopped chicken, shrimp and rice rolled up in a tortilla roll. The price was reasonable for the amount of food. Not including drinks the bill was about $10 a person. I definitely miss coming here; they need to open up one of these in Chicago.

I love Puerto Vallarta!!! It is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant to eat at. I went to Ball State and made sure I had money to eat there at least once a week. About a year ago I moved to Austin, TX and couldn't wait to try the Mexican food there being closer to the border and all. I was very disappointed with the Mexican food and have been craving Puerto for about a year now. Finally I'm in Muncie visiting family and I'm not leaving until I get my fix and eat some Puerto's!

Over it. But why are their cokes so good?!
(2)Jonathan L.
This became such a cliche place to get Mexican food...in the middle of the Midwest. But the food itself is filling, the wait staff not so bad. They make a killer pitcher of Margarita that will make you turn over your keys early and turn you into an animal (literally I acted like I was a walrus once). A fun place to take someone on their 21st in a group for good food and cheap drinks.
(3)Stacey B.
i like the atmosphere here a lot, you can get pretty rowdy and not get yelled at. you might get glares from families with children. oops. i really don't dig on puerto's food that much. i used to love the pitchers of top shelf margaritas, but it seems like they're more sweet and sour than they used to be and they kill my stomach. i really wish that the wheeling location would add an outdoor patio section, that lot that's on the side by marsh would be perfect for it.
