Casa Valencia truly exceeded our expectations. Even though we're nowhere near the water, the seafood was incredibly fresh--especially the oysters, which were absolutely delicious. Every dish we tried was full of flavor and clearly made with quality ingredients. Our server was attentive, friendly, and provided consistently positive service throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. The restaurant itself is spacious and has a great authentic Mexican feel that's welcoming and comfortable. The menu offers a wide variety of options, making it easy to enjoy different flavors and experiences each time you visit. If you're anywhere near the Midvale area, Casa Valencia is a must-stop spot. We'll definitely be back! read more

Baked goods, staff and customers were so so great! Got lots of help picking out fantastic goodies. We were visiting from Pittsburgh, Pa. And didn't know what many of the baked goods were. Staff and other customers made the best suggestions and they were top notch. What a wonderful Mexican bakery.!! read more

We are regulars at this place and by far my favorite seafood restaurant. We always get good service especially from Alyssa and Ale at the bar or anywhere we sit. Food is great and I recommend the food to everyone. However, today's visit was a bit off. Me and my wife always stack up our plates and clean our area after we eat. We halve always done it here and everywhere we go. The tray to put dirty dishes was just behind us and my wife put them in there but employee by the name Liz started yelling at my wife to not do that and made my wife feel reprimanded for doing a good deed. Not only did she yell at her she continued to gossip and tell everyone that works there that my wife was wrong and that employees need to do it. I get it, it's your job to do it but no need to raise your voice and yell at her. I had to step in because she continued to talk bad of my wife with other employees in Spanish because my wife does not know Spanish till I had to step in and tell her in Spanish that she did not mean to get anyone upset and not necessary to continue to bad mouth my wife and Alyssa for what she did. No one asked us to clean our area and we did not want anyone to get in trouble for us doing it. A simple please let us do it for you and thank you would have gone a lot further than yelling and then bad mouthing us for doing it. We will go there still because we enjoy everyone especially Alyssa, but will avoid dealing with Liz and I will tell my friends and colleagues to not have her serve or do anything for you on your visit. Maybe do some customer service training and politeness for her. read more

Shrimp and octopus cocktail was very good. Shrimp and scallop appetizer very tasty. Service was good, place was clean, will return

This was our first time visiting , the place was really nice and a great atmosphere. The food was decent. I'm not a seafood person , so I can't really speak on the food. The only thing I would say is we wish we had better service. We had a server named Brenda , I wasn't sure if she was new but she didn't really check on us at all we were having to wave her down for everything, she wasn't bussing the table unless we asked her to remove some plates, and she wasn't offering refills either unless we asked her. It was disappointing because there was gratuity on the bill when we felt like she didn't give ANY good service but she was nice at least. read more

Best fish tacos in Pima County! Believe me!! I've been looking a long time!! Service lacking, waited and waited for bill to arrive. Finally received bill as we got up like we wanted to pay! Timi R. read more

Vibe: Casa Valencia's a sneaky gem. Feels a little bougie, but in a good way -- like you're winning at life without spending half your paycheck. Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 This place kinda caught me off guard. Drove here expecting your standard Tucson taco joint, and boom -- suddenly I'm in this sleek, upscale spot that feels like you should be wearing a blazer or something. Not in a bad way though. Just... nicer than I was ready for. Started with the margarita flight -- smart move. The cucumber one was Unreal. Tasted like someone took a spa day, bottled it, and hit it with a tequila shot. Little sweet, but the tajin on the rim balanced it out. Plus, they hit you with free chips and salsa, which is honestly the way to my heart. Food was solid. The Seared Tuna Coquetas were crispy, tasty, and just fancy enough to make me feel like I know what I'm doing with my life. Two large piece of sliced tuna on a crispy chip thing with a pile of guac and a creamy sauce. Seared. The Ribeye Aguachile was bold, spicy, and way better than I expected. Honestly, I'd go back just for that. We also had pulpo which was cooked just right so that it is not chewy. The bartender was chill -- super attentive without hovering, which is a tough balance to strike. Prices weren't bad either, especially for how swanky the place feels. read more

We tried this Mexican restaurant for the first time last week while visiting Tucson. We were seated within five minutes and service was prompt. We each had a drink from the bar, including a mule and a margarita and both were on point. We were served nachos and salsa while we waited for our order . Two of us ordered the fried shrimp platter which included shrimp wrapped in bacon and rice/ etc All four of us enjoyed our meal that came out quickly and very hot and fresh tasting . The restaurant is nicely decorated with ample space between tables.. read more

What I love about this restaurant is their service!!! Every time I go there, service is top notch. My favorite dish here definitely is shrimp culichi. I've tried shrimp culichi at 5 other places in Tucson but in my opinion Casa Valencia had the best one! Restaurant is very spacious and nicely decorated. Oh, can't forget to mention their band on Friday!!! The singer is amazing and so are the guitarists! read more

This place has great food. Always good. Well clean restaurant. And service has always been on point!

Shrimp dishes are excellent. Service was friendly and prompt. Prices are very reasonable.

A cool spot on the southside of Tucson. I buy coffee nearby pretty often, but didn't know such a gem was around. I got the Diablo Shrimp and it was tastey. The spice level wasn't an option, but it was perfect for me. The server was fast and polite. What was cool about the place was how so many large families got together to eat here. The place has reasonable prices. Definitely check this place out. read more

Been there three times. Food is excellent. Large portions. Excellent friendly service. Food can be a bit spicy. Ask your server and they'll give you honest advice. read more

I've been coming here with friends and family since it opened for micheladas and ceviche. Everything is always delicious. It's a well known spot within the south side community. The place is cute and clean, but may be a little loud for some depending on the day. It gets very busy on the weekends. The service is fine. read more

Wonderful! Amazing shrimp tacos and the culuchi sauce was amazing! Highly recommend! The picky husband practically licked his plate!

Second time we've stopped by for a late lunch and had a terrific meal! Servers in the bar area were so nice and the raw oysters - fantastic! Today, we also tried the grilled octopus with garlic sauce... I will DEFINITELY order that again. It was perfectly cooked, flavorful and filling. And, if you are in the mood, try the variety flight of margaritas... terrific! read more

Casa Valencia - Shrimp, Culichi - Seafood Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Service is subpar. I waited 6 to 7 minutes to be acknowledged while I was waiting to be seated. Service is subpar. Food is not worth the money. I ordered shrimp tacos, the octopus cocktail and calamari. The calamari was an appetizer which is supposed to come out before the rest of the food yet it waited to come out with the rest of the order and was cold. The server screwed up the taco order and the octopus cocktail was nothing to write home about. The prices are not that bad but all in all for my first experience at this restaurant my experience sucked. I will not eat there again. read more

last night I went with my family and my mother in-law to celebrate her birthday and when I asked them if they do something for someone's birthday they said, no. I was not expecting any discount maybe a little dessert for her or someone singing happy birthday, but I was a no from the beginning. My wife and my food were cold and music very loud. By the way the music was the same the entire time we were there. Very disappointed because it was my third time going there and this was the last one. read more

Delightful family run restaurant. Lots of seafood choices and well prepared dishes. Good service.

I went thinking it was going to be delicious but what a disappointment. Their food had no flavor and the meat was tough . Another person from the group got shrimp and not even that was good. She ate a little and left it. Don't waste your time going to this place. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Tucson! The food is made with good quality ingredients, everything is seasoned to perfection, and they have huge portions sizes which is a plus when the food is delicious!!! The service is good and the restaurant is clean and cute. They have an extensive menu with a lot of options witch I love and from what I've tried so far I'd feel comfortable ordering anything on the menu, I will definitely be back!! read more

I love ordering their oysters, guacamole, shrimp culichi, and breaded shrimp plates. Really great service and great food. The location is far from us but worth the drive read more

First time dining here and I must say food was great, service was really slooooow. We arrived at around 11 they were just opening, and there were only a few customers but our server just had no sense of urgency. There was 8 of us and we were quick to place our order but we saw people who were sat down before us receive their entire meal at once, while our table received scattered items at different times. Gratuity was included since we had more than 6 otherwise my tip wouldn't have been so generous. read more

Food is excellent. Service is far above expectations. Restaurant is clean and well taken care of. All three factors in a 5 star review. There really isn't much more that can be said... we continue to return because of these factors. Try the whole fish (red snapper) for fish tacos. So many pescado alternatives with healthy portions - I've been to eat here a few times and have yet to be able to clean my plate. Try the oysters, my husband's favorite! read more

I had a wonderful lunch here 2day. An ice-cold Dos Equis whetted my appetite for the pulpo con ajo which was muy delicioso. Fries, rice, salad, and tortillas came w/it. The service, as always, was superb! read more

Service was good. Drinks were terrible. No tonic water says the server. Who knows if she's right. The flight of margaritas had so much sugar I couldn't finish it. Who makes a strawberry margarita with Kerns nectar? Gross. The salsa they bring you with your chips is the consistency of soup. WTF? Why does this place have so many stars? read more

Quick service. The food was good but portions were very small. I was only given a small bowl of salsa. Not enough for the chips given. I had what I thought was going to be a chili rellenos stuffed with steak and cheese. It came piled on top of the pepper. The tortillas were very small. Either needed more or bigger ones. read more

Food was good service was good and atmosphere good and they where short staffed our waitress was very good her name is Anahei

Great drinks, great service, and great food! I went here once before and ordered the steak fajitas and I wasn't too impressed. My husband reminded me this is more of a seafood restaurant so the next time we came I made sure to order only seafood. I ordered the garlic fish and shrimp dish and omg it was spectacular! I have been dreaming of this dish again, so I plan on returning quickly! read more

Casa Valencia - Garlic fish and garlic shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

So I just stopped in here for drinks and I had mixed feelings about what ordered. I tried the houses margarita which had to be pre made and it was spoiled. I am a lover of tequila and margaritas so I was just more surprised and disappointed that you served spoiled drinks. I decided to go with another drink so I got a Michelada. It was amazing I loved it . After that drink I decided to try a different margarita it was much better. So my tip check your pre-made drinks . And through all this the smell of the food kept calling me I have to go back to try it out next read more

Server was extremely rude, we would ask her something and she didn't know anything from the menu. Food tasted mid, the girl who sat us (tall, light skin, with highlights and little chubby) ended up taking over our table because our server never went back to even check on us. read more

La comida estaba con mal sabor. Los camarones no eran frescos y la carne estaba dura no se podía comer. Fui con unos amigos y hasta ellos dejaron su comida porque no les gustó. No gaste su dinero y tiempo. Vaya a otro restaurant read more

Goood fresh seafood and tasty Mexican food indeed. The drinks are always cold and the atmosphere is chill!

Really enjoyed the seafood and margaritas here on a recent visit to Tucson. Would recommend.
