The food was authentic, and the pan dulce was delicious. Also, it is convenient to have the market attached. My husband loves the birriria tacos, and i really enjoyed the chile relleno.

Good food and service. Nothing extraordinary, but good. I would recommend it if nearby. There is an attached food store that appears to have a good selection of Hispanic merchandise. Make sure you check it out after you've eaten in the restaurant.

I love the tacos here! And the fact that you get that real Mexican vibe when you're eating here. Also the horchata was delicious and didn't have that chalky after taste.

Valencia's feels like one of those secret spots that only the locals know about. This was my second or third visit, and the food is on point every single time. They have a little Bakery you can grab things to take home on your way...Read More

I appreciate you not taking advantage of us like Adalberto's. Your portion sizes are much larger. 12.00 vs. your 13.00.

This place is great. Authentic Mexican food at great prices. On of the only places around where you can order extra crispy carnitas. Also be sure to get some of the marinated carne asada from the butcher in the attached market to grill at home...Read More

This may potentially be the best Mexican food I've ever had! You can taste the freshness of every ingredient. I had a super burrito with Al pastor and I highly recommend. I will be a regular from now on!

Looking for a new Mexican restaurant, but before I patron Valencia's I have two questions: 1) do they make their carnitas crispy? And 2) do Mexicans eat here? If yes, to both, I will be in after work!!!
