    1 star since I can't leave 0. Went for my grandmothers birthday on Sunday, April 12th at 5:45 PM, we pull up and the sign on the door says closed. I get out and confirm the hours on the door say "Sunday 11 AM - 8 PM." Yet they were closed with no signs or information of why. If you're going to be closed at a time you say you're open, at least put up a sign saying why. Ridiculous.

    Regular burrito with Al Pastor

    We had never been here, but found it on Yelp and decided to stop by. Tucked away in a corner, it might be easily missed if it weren't for the festive patio decor. Patio and indoor dining options. Handmade ceramic mugs available in the entry. We were promptly offered our choice of window tables. We each ordered a burrito, and enjoyed the freshly made verde salsa as we waited. The Al pastor was delightful. He recommended the wet burrito for our next visit. Great food and beer, we look forward to visiting again.

    I have lived in this area for so long and I just discovered this place. I had lunch there today and I enjoyed eating the Asada Quesadilla. My bride Valerie had one too. The family owns this is the Valenzuela family and they are incredible. There sons all serve in the restaurant and they are kind and considerate. They specialize in Sinaloa Mexivam food Mazitlan and it is great. For instance my Quesdilla was fried with the cheese and it was amazing. The ambiance is warm and friendly and there is plenty of parking which I am always a person that looks for easy access. They have an outdoor eating area which probably is not to popular on real warm days because there is no cover. The restaurant could use a facelift whioch they said they were in the middle of doing some things but it was very clean. I am coming back to this place and I love the spirit of hospitality that exits here.

    A definite must if you're in the mood for amazing Mexican food! Found this place via Yelp, and the reviews other people have written convinced me to give it a try. Wow, I am so happy I did so! What I love about this place is that it's family owned and ran, the food is great, and the pricing is fair. I know not everybody might not be a fan of the decor inside, but I loved it. It's bright, colorful, and cheerful on the restaurant side; then on the bar side, there's sports memorabilia. It's definitely a casual vibe, which is totally my scene. I was greeted immediately upon entering, placed my order to go, and sat back and waited. I was then handed my food by who I believe was the owner, and he was so friendly and nice. I let him know that it was my first time, and I came because of Yelp reviews. He then probably pointed out these awesome awards the restaurant has been winning that I had not seen before previously on the wall in the bar area. Let me tell you, once I got home and tasted the food this restaurant produced, they deserve every single award. I ordered a shrimp quesadilla and the surf and turf burrito. Within the burrito, I chose steak to go along with the shrimp. When I got home and unwrapped the food, I was not prepared for the size of everything! I could only eat half of the burrito and the quesadilla, and I'm saving the rest for my lunch tomorrow! Long review, but this place is worth it. This is going to be my go-to place for Mexican food in the area from now on.

    This past May, the Valenzuela family expanded their food truck and catering business and opened up a brick n mortar restaurant in Cameron Park. It's called Valenz Mexican Kitchen. They specialize in Sinaloa Mexican food . It's a sit down restaurant with a family friendly vibes. The menu is compact for now with intentions to expand. The street tacos are tasty. Taste like home cooking. I dropped in on a lazy Sunday afternoon and sat at the bar. The bar had several TVs with various NFL games on. We ordered Mexican cokes in a bottle as well as bottle Jarritos to quench our thirst. Food wise, we ordered street tacos as well... steak and carnitas. The meats were tender and had nice simple flavors. They also serve complimentary chips and salsa. The chips had the look and taste of store bought chips but that salsa. The salsa was darn tasty, fantastic flavors.

    Easily a half pound of cheese alone in this giant! The hype is real!

    3.5 stars I have seen so much talk on social media about Valenz and finally had a chance to try it! We ate in on a weekday slightly early for lunch and it wasn't busy. Just 2 other tables. The first thing I noticed was the restaurant looked dirty and old. The chairs were out of date and had visible lint on them which I though was odd. The carpeted floors also had debris on it as well and needed vacuuming. This made me wonder if I was going to regret eating here. We sat down and the owner greeted us with a menu right away. He came back soon after and we ordered waters and our food order. Meanwhile another couple came in and were seated close to us so I could hear them talking to the owner. The owner proceeded to give them so much attention and answer their questions and ignored us. After about 10 minutes I had to flag him over and ask for our waters which he admitted he poured but forgot to bring them over... He was very nice, but he left us feeling like we were not valued and wishing we got the kind of attention the table next to us was receiving! They hadn't been in before just like us but there was something about them (maybe because they ordered beers?) that he was focused solely on them. THEN, I heard him speak to his partner who was making the food that the burrito was supposed to be wet... So.... without saying anything to us we waited a good 10-15 minutes before we received our food and the other couple who came in after us was served their food before us and finished just after we got ours. There was no acknowledgment to any of this and it was frustrating. So... we get our food and IT WAS KILLER!!! I had the wet burrito with chicken and my partner had the shrimp burrito with shrimp. We loved it!! My wet burrito had so much cheese on top plus some inside and I love that! It was giant and had a lot of meat as well, yay! I noticed rice on there but not beans, same with the shrimp burrito. Not sure what happened to the beans but I was happy with the food.

    My second time getting the steak fajitas hoping it was going to be better the second time but it wasn't it's always burnt. This time the steak wasn't even edible. :(

    It has been a few years since we have eaten here…read more Came in for a late lunch and the place was empty. The male owner was serving us and seemed very rushed. That was not a good feeling, but then he also did not speak English well. He messed up three of the four items we ordered and of course they all cost more than what we ordered. When we got the bill and told him, he got the cook and we were able to settle everything out easily. We were told that the owner's wife was out so he was serving. We were happy to hear that his serving was temporary :). I am not sure if we received the lunch item or dinner item because our bill was wrong, but I ordered the chile verde chimichanga which comes with rice and beans. It was hot and fresh and absolutely delicious! My partner had the bean and cheese lunch and he loved it as well. The salsa was flavorful and mild. All of the food was mild so next time I will ask for some spice! The restaurant is a good size and festive looking. It was clean and comfortable and the prices were good! We can't wait to go back!

    It's been a couple years since we ordered take out from here and it was a bad experience…read moreunfortunately tonight when we did. Ordered half chicken which husband enjoyed but the rest was thrown out. 4 chicken flautas that were so burnt the meat looked like burnt steak. The chips they added for free were dark brown, the jalapeño poppers over cooked and dark brown was also missing any ranch for dipping. Lastly, we ordered 2 carne asada tacos and the meat was also burnt black and dark brown bits, no lime served on the side for these. After leaving a 25% tip online we'd hoped to have an enjoyable meal but we were disappointed. Also surprised at whoever packaged the food, letting it be served in that condition was concerning. We'll try elsewhere next time we are in the mood for good Mexican food.

As we were sitting waiting for our food, a server came over on two separate occasions with the wrong food, asking who had what. Not a big deal, they obviously had the wrong table, no biggy, but it looks unprofessional. The vibe is always nice in there, very friendly and inviting. Then they finally brought our food out, and gave me my chimichanga, with a nice spread of avocado on the top. The issue? I specifically ordered it WITHOUT avocado or guacamole. It even said so on the receipt. But by that point I was starving, so I scraped it off and started eating. The pork inside was tasty, BUT I ORDERED CARNE ASADA. So in the end, I did not get what I ordered whatsoever. And as a side note, I've noticed the portion sizes vary each time I've come in, but this was by far the skimpiest portion I've ever gotten. The chimichanga was tiny, and I barely got any rice or beans on the side. Like I said, I love this place, but this experience doesn't inspire me with a lot of confidence. Hopefully next time I come in it's better!
