Had lunch to celebrate my husband's birthday. Walked in a we were seated right away. Our waitress Samantha was awesome. I'm not a drinker, but had a a drink to celebrate. Maybe because I haven't had a drink in a while, but my Patron Margarita on the rocks was fire!!! So good I had two. The food was good. Me and my 10yr has the Pineapple rice and my hubby had a combo fajita. All really good. The manager stopped by to check on us, that's always a nice add. The spot is local and I'm looking forward to going back and sitting outside in the simmer.

Raw blue shrimp ceviche.

Haven't been out in a while and have been wanting to try Valencia for a while. Got there at around 6 on a Friday when it wasn't too busy. Service was painfully slow. Waitress was not friendly, the shrimp Ceviche was horrible, it looked like they took the shrimp out of the bag raw and put it in the bowl without marinating. Chips were good and atmosphere was good. That's about all I can say positive. Will not be returning.

So not sure why the 3.7 reviews but after reading the few reviews I can why and things happen I guess. So where should I begin I guess just like the restaurant chips and salsa . I don't really care for chips just because they are always either stale, store bought , or not worth my stomach space but not these!!! I've never done Drugs before if I did that what those chips and salsa would be!!! The chips were fresh and had a baked roasted flavor the salsa was really hearty and flavorful and definitely worth the stomach space . The service was slow due to the large party and the place was pretty packed and was a good sign. The owner even Came up and offered us a round of free drinks on them which we gladly took them. Then we ordered all that food and the food was all flavorful and had great taste. The gumbo broth was amazing like wow but it was more of a soup and not gumbo but I loved it . A bit pricy for the portion though a school of rice 3 shrimp 4 pieces of sausages and broth 16$ for a soup way over priced . But glad I tried it . Burrito was good and guac on top hit the spot. The tacos salmon and shrimp was great. And the elote was pretty good . And the customer service was great which isn't easy to find all the time now . Looking forward to coming back . But hoping there would be bigger portions . After I try next time if they aren't bigger on other menu items I doubt I'll come back.

Skirt Steak Valencia

Tex Mex restaurant, located in the spot that used to be Cypress Hall. Decor was nice. Place was getting crowded. Menu and prices are reasonable with a lot of deals. Service was slow. We opened with a white Sangria (it was ok) and an Espresso Martini (which was a mistake on my part. I just didn't want a margarita-They had no martini glasses and the drink was warm and not very good.) the chips on the table are homemade and they put a pico de gallo it was good. We then ordered street corn. But it came as a street corn salad and it was nothing like what I was expecting. I guess this is more "TEX than Mex" It was OK not one of my favorites. We also ordered Valencias Pastelitos. There was shredded chicken inside, which was a little tough not one of my favorites. Then I had chorizo and potato soft tacos. No dipping sauce and I did not taste the chorizo or the potato. My son got a Birria quesadilla and my husband got the skirt steak. Everything was OK. Not great; Would I go back? Maybe. I think they were having an off night..they got some kinks they need to work out.

This location has transformed so many times and I'm glad there's finally some stability and it seems like they might be here for awhile.the service was great she was super attentive and friendly. The decor was cute giving American Tex mex. The food was a bit salty but well seasoned, good portions and easy menu to look through. I think it's a good place to sit and nipple/share at the bar.

Our waitress was so so nice, accommodating, sweet & fun!!! We loved her and her service was great. The restaurant was very pretty and nicely decorated. The menu had a wide range of tacos, burritos, bowls, entrees, drinks & more. For dinner I ordered the steak chimichanga and I'll be honest I wasn't a huge fan, whatever sauce & cheese combination that was on the burrito wasn't good. But, I really did love my drink- I had a frozen strawberry margarita with tajin on the rim. I would definitely come back because the service was phenomenal & because my drink was good. I'll just try something else on the menu.

This was my first time at Cantina Valencia and I don't expect it to be my last. Tha ambiance was great as was the food and service. Our waiter Emanuele was very attentive and came by frequently to ask if we needed anything. The food was presented nicely and was delicious and plentiful. They have a small private room in the back to host about 6-8 people with no additional charge. I hope to use it one day to celebrate a birthday or other occasion. Needless to say I will be going back. Also a plus is that they have plenty of parking in the back and there's street parking as well.

Maya's Cafe Mexican Cuisine - Three QuesoBirria

Maya's Cafe Mexican Cuisine

An Unforgettable Quesabirria Experience at Maya's Cafe Mexican Cuisine!…read more Finding truly exceptional Mexican food can sometimes feel like a quest, but my visit to Maya's Cafe Mexican Cuisine delivered in a big way, specifically with their phenomenal Quesabirria. From the moment it arrived, I had a feeling it would be special, and I was not disappointed. The quesabirria itself was a masterpiece of flavor and texture. It was immediately clear that freshness was a priority here. The tortilla was perfectly crisped, providing a satisfying base for the generous filling inside. But the real star was the birria steak - it was incredibly tender, bursting with juice, and packed with a deep, savory taste that spoke of careful preparation and quality ingredients. Each bite was simply delicious. What truly elevated the dish, however, were the thoughtful details. The fresh cilantro wasn't just sprinkled on; it added a vibrant, aromatic quality and a necessary burst of freshness that cut through the richness of the meat and cheese beautifully, enhancing the overall taste profile significantly. And then there was the consumé. Oh, that consumé! Calling it 'out of this world' is almost an understatement. It was served steaming hot, a rich, dark broth brimming with complex flavors. It was savory, comforting, and utterly addictive. Seriously, it was so incredibly delicious and satisfying on its own that I could have happily just sipped it straight from the cup. Dipping the flavorful quesabirria into that liquid gold created a perfect harmony - a truly memorable culinary moment. It's been a little while since I had the chance to visit Maya's Cafe, but the memory of that meal has genuinely stayed with me. I find myself actively craving that specific combination of flavors and textures again. While I haven't managed to get back just yet, I am truly looking forward to my next visit, and you can bet I'll be ordering the quesabirria again. If you appreciate authentic Mexican cuisine made with care, or if you're on the hunt for truly outstanding quesabirria, I wholeheartedly recommend making a trip to Maya's Cafe Mexican Cuisine. It was a fantastic experience, driven by that incredibly tasty and well-executed dish. You won't regret it!

Yep, it's the real deal! We ordered taco birrea, quesadilla birrea, and fresh guacamole. They…read morethrew in apiece of flan. It was all really good! The birrea dipping gravy was so good! Taco shells were fresh corn Shells with I think grilled melted cheese. The chicken and beef in the tacos were seasoned well with fresh cilantro and lime wedges squeeze on it. Dipping the tacos in the birrea gravy was heaven! The flan was excellent, not overly sweet and delicious. And the fresh guacamole was also excellent with homemade chips, too. I'm so happy Westerleigh has a great Mexican restaurant nearby!

This spot came highly recommended by a friend so I decided to give it a try since I was in the area…read more. I love anything steak so i ordered steak tacos and an order of chicken nachos. Everything was made fresh and had great flavors . The serving size is perfect if you want to share or not it's not to much . The nachos have Mexican street corn on them my first time having nachos like this but it was delicious. Guacamole was fresh and very delicious. The location is definitely a hidden gem it's very clean and cozy BUT ITS VERY COLD I would have loved to stay and eat but it was just as cold inside as it was outside . The staff is very friendly and they literally will make anything any way you want. Price point is not expensive it's decently priced for the servings you get.

This place use to be my favorite. It has gotten worse every time! I didn't mind it being pricey and…read moreI had to go pick it up because we are in the borderline of where they're willing to deliver. But the attitude and the quality is just not what it use to be. From forgetting part of my order, charging me, and then just a shrug on the shoulder, saying they don't know what happened, denying they made any mistake. Nonetheless, today was the last time we're ordering from them. Thought it would be nice to order tacos first cinco de mayo. This is the crap I got. No topping no condiments no sauce cold dry cardboard like tortillas/meat. So much for happy tacos.
