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

Only gave 2 stars because waitress was nice, otherwise I'd give it one. Fried shrimp were smashed to about 1/8" thick and overcooked. Shrimp Relleno were way overcooked to the point they weren't even rubbery they were just hard. Shrimp taco's just nasty. Surprisingly the French fries were undercooked. Their so called salsa was just pathetic. Will never be back and can not recommend. read more

Wonderfully nice server, the amount of food I got for the price was very good. ceviche was excellent and fresh despite being in the middle of the desert. 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

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

We have been here a dozen times and the food has been good. We went today for a shrimp cocktail and it was a joke..no cucumber, no tomato and water down. It was the worst cocktail that we have ever had..and the customer service sucked..the waitress couldn't even speak English..Oh well I guess we will not be going there again...I'm sorry because other times the food was great..and I think that if your working as customer service you need to speak English... 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

Great seafood the fish and oysters were very fresh. The service was also excellent. But the carne asada was not very good. But I was wrong for ordering tacos at a seafood restaurant. read more

Not sure why the negative comments. Good food, service is slow but ok. Price is not cheap but ok, it's a Mexican sports bar. I like I'll be back read more

Best seafood in Tucson hands down the Red Snapper is brought in fresh 3 times per week Great service read more

Food is trash the tip was included which made the bill to expensive which I feel that I should decide how much I'm gonna tip my server that didn't check on me while I was eating they were quick to clean the table * this place needs to be inspected by the city food wasn't cooked properly read more

We went here upon a recommendation from a friend. First impression was that music was playing very loudly when we enter. We were brought to our table and I asked for the music to be turned down some and the hostess acknowledged, and I believe did turn the music down a little bit. We felt it was still loud and impacted our ability to have a conversation. Additionally, the music was loud are in the bathrooms. The salsa was thin, watery, and without substance. The chips we're not warm, which is OK but we're borderline stale. Waitress was good and the tacos were good as well. However, between the loud music and the open echoey atmosphere, we do not think we would return. It wasn't crowded, and yet the few tables that were laughing or enjoying themselves coupled with the music made it uncomfortably loud. Turn down the music, warm up the chips, reinvent the salsa and warm up the atmosphere. read more

Great food!!!! Always clean. Wonderful atmosphere. Service brought the ranking down from a solid 5.

The service wasn't bad but holy cow people, de-turd your shrimp! I had a shrimp and fish soup that wasn't bad. Salsa was orange and flavorless. Shrimp tacos had a ton of coleslaw and not much shrimp. Again, flavorless just like the fajitas. Not going back. read more

Beautiful building. Had early lunch with family craving Mexican food. Salsa and chips tasted old oil. Salsa strange taste. Ordered sampler platter and chicken enchiladas. Red sauce tasted like pasta sauce. Corn tortilla was dry barely cooked. Like microwaved corn tortilla. Beans tasted strange. Warm food. Felt sick afterwards. read more

I've been here a few times before a while back and it was nothing memorable however, I came back today with my sister and WOW, I was impressed. We ordered the botana camarón as a starter and it was so fresh and delicious! Our lunch entree was the Carne asada tacos and they were so well seasoned and also delicious. The flavor is so authentic. Great tasting chips and salsa unlike that crap other places serve. I recommend it and will be coming back for more soon. read more

Nothing about this experience was good. Although the parking lot was full, the restaurant was pretty empty. You would think that would lead to better service but it didn't. The salsa was watery and the chips were bad. My dad got the cheese enchiladas with beans and rice and salad with a Coke. The rice was plain with no seasoning and the salad had no dressing on it. The server did put a squeeze bottle of tartar sauce and a bottle of ketchup next to my father so maybe one of them was supposed to go on the salad? It cost $18 and he said it wasn't as good as Taco Bell. The only thing he said was okay was the Coke. Nothing I had was okay. I got the shrimp tacos and ice tea. The tea was basically tan water. The shrimp tacos were impossible to pick up because they were covered in mounds of coleslaw that was mostly cabbage with almost no sauce and about three specks of chiles for the whole plate and deep fried shrimp that was also unseasoned. It came with a puck of plain rice. My dad got a fork and knife wrapped in a paper napkin but my meal just had a flimsy fork on top of my food so I had to borrow his knife and ask for napkins when the server came by, not to ask how things were, but to see if we needed anything else. I ended up eating the shrimp out of the tacos with some of the tartar sauce from the plastic squeeze bottle. Dad got out his card so we'd be ready to check out and then all of a sudden the server dropped off two more drinks and asked if she could clear our plates. It was obvious I didn't eat most of my food but she didn't ask about it or offer a box (not that I wanted to take anything with me to eat again). It took forever to get the check and she did apologize but like I said the restaurant was pretty empty so it shouldn't have been a problem. The total came to a few cents under fifty dollars. For those kinds of prices, I'd expect heavier cutlery, thicker paper napkins or even cloth and a ramekin of tartar sauce, not an industrial size plastic squeeze bottle like you might find in a fast food restaurant. This restaurant was a trifecta of disappointment and the high prices meant I had to work for two and a half hours to pay for this experience. Save yourself the headache and just go to Culver's instead. It's tastier, cheaper, and quicker. read more

The place is loud with terrible acoustics, server had little understanding of basic cocktails, and the oysters came out smelling rotten - truly cannot understand how anyone in a kitchen could plate that and let it be served let alone carry that out and not realize oysters shouldn't smell that bad read more

Ate there last night ordered my salad with no onions. But got onions in it. Also ordered shrimp salad shrimp wasn't cleaned good and wasn't de-vined. Wait staff all gathered at register and talked all the time we were there. Was not satisfied don't waste your money! The workers were just socializing instead of waiting on customers. read more

2nd time being here and the food is bomb again!!!! Great & friendly service. Our new date night restaurant read more

Great seafood and cocktails and attentive service. Stopped here after a road trip to some tourist attractions. Lots of shrimp and seafood choices. We had a shrimp appetizer which was very tasty and a strawberry and mango margarita. Strawberry margarita was delicious and you could tell they didn't make it with that sickening sweet mix so typical of many chains. The mango margarita looked like a piece of artwork. My shrimp entree with green chili sauce was delicious and tons of shrimp. My friends had shrimp wrapped in bacon and cream cheese. Great food. Saturday evenings they bring in live music. Will be back when in Tucson. read more

Boyfriend and I went here this evening for dinner and sat at the bar. After ordering two drinks, and looking over the menu we had to ask if we could order food about 20 minutes later. We finished the drinks by the time our food arrived yet the bartender never asked us if we wanted anything else to drink. Not even a glass of water. Finished dinner and had to flag bartender down to ask for a box, churros to go, and the check. 30 minutes later got the churros and waited for the check. Waited some more.....and some more. Asked for the check 3 times. Seriously about to walk out at this point. While we stood there obviously ready to leave, 10 minutes later finally got our check. Not to mention, the couple across the bar who arrived about 45 minutes after us had dinner, three drinks each and dessert. The chips were also stale. Good food, service is terrible. read more

Visited here based on the location and Google reviews. I was very pleased. Prices are typical for Mexican seafood. But the portion was huge. I had camarones rellenos (stuffed shrimp, wrapped in bacon). It was 6 big shrimp and could not finish the dish. I also had a house margarita that was excellent. Service, at Noon, was excellent. read more

The BEST shrimp tacos and seafood special stew . Always the best service. Fresh seafood . Very clean place ! One of our favorites! read more

HGI clerk recommended this place. Should have checked starts on this one... 3 stars before this review.... would never have gone. I'll take that kick. Now, here is everything that went wrong. First, asked for queso w/ chorizo. We got queso fundido. OK, will still work. My meal: Molchahete Grilled was delivered and I was forced to take the risk of spilling the dish where the bowl was on top of a slick plate. "Take the plate, take the plate." Pffffttt. Would have still blamed the waiter if I had made the mistake. Quickly realized the dish was missing the cactus paddle. NEVER had one and only reason I ordered the dish. "Umm... sorry, we are out." A little late to tell me. Also called out the VERY watery refried beans? Pureed literally! "Most of our customers like them that way. They use a machine ti make them like that. What... nursing home clientele? The dish tasted good otherwise. They brought me a grilled pepper to sub w/ cactus... completely missing the point of my order. Wife's meal: An absolute disaster. Same watery beans served w/ WHITE rice... seriously? She had enchiladas... would have let that pass w/ a seafood dish.... but she had cheese enchiladas! Waiter comes to table and in this case asks the fatal question. "How is everything?" Wife smiles and states "this tastes like my Mom's." Problem? My MIL used canned enchilada sauce my wife really hated. He states, "good!" I explained to him "that was an insult." She couldn't finish the meal. I tasted and understood... it was that bad. Went back to HGI and advised desk clerk to not make that mistake again in referrals. Will also point out that the place was essentially empty from beginning to end of meal. Don't think this place will make it. read more

I was really holding back going here to eat because of what people told me. I went there last night for dinner and HOLY SHIT!! I loved the food and my buddy that told me about it treated me and his food looked Awesome also. I got the shrimp relleno and he got the shrimp tortitos. The prices are pretty good I think I say but my buddy said it was a lil pricey. I would go back anyway because the food was GREAT!!! I would recommend read more

My wife and I had visited the other Casa Valencia that used to be open on Campbell since we live in Catalina AZ,.. when they closed that location we came to this one a couple of times. We stopped coming for several reasons, but mainly for that bad service.. Today, our server Dilma has changed our mind, because of her great service we will for sure keep coming back! She was extremely attentive, professional and on top of her game... great experience! read more

Truly one of the worst experiences for a family birthday. Managed poorly and seems like if you ask for something it's an inconvenience. Server did not write down our order and we asked if she would be able to remember 7 orders since she didn't write it down well just like we thought the 1 order was incorrect and when we said it was not correct she said it was your fault which we all heard what was ordered and she was at fault and accepted no responsibility. Once we asked for owner a gentleman working said he was and accepted no responsibly. We shouldn't have to go to a restaurant and be blamed for not ordering correctly. Some Tips Waitress staff that doesn't throw the plate down cause they are upset cause you asked for correct food you ordered Better management Cold shrimp cocktail not hot Breaded shrimp thats not soggy Warm fries not cold Order pads for guest orders The list can keep going but seriously need to train people how to handle customer service To sum it up: Do not water your time eating at this place truly the worst experience we have had at a restaurant. read more

We were disappointed, the food was just alright but nothing exceptional. The music was so loud it was hard to talk and we asked for it to be turned down. It was not! Service was OK but nothing exceptional. There was a large party that just got up and walked out. I see no reason to go back. read more

Dear Southside Tucson, This is a case of food being good , wait service being decent but Management being bad. Long story short; there was an email and a phone call confirming reservation for 10 to 12 people under my name. However they wrote it down under the wrong name. They wanted to say I didn't even with proof that I did. They took us anyways but Management was very rude about it. Funny enough the name they wrote never showed up. Haha! I wonder why? Instead of apologizing for the mix up and their rudeness they avoided me and my party all together. Also tables could not be arranged to sit everyone together and they could only take payment on one check and refuse to split it. Never heard about this as a policy but we pursued as to move 12 people to a different resturant would have been a pain and my Mother really wanted to eat there as a decent fish and steak place in Southside Tucson. Let's face it slim pick ins down here. Food was good thank you cooks , Our Waiter was good so shout out to him but I think they need a new Manager or have the Management take a course at Pima might I suggest Master of Business Administration or simply accepting that you assumed wrong ; making an ass out of you and me. Mistakes happen they do but no need to be rude just apologize and move on. Anyways Southside Tucson go ahead and enjoy Casa Valencias food and wait staff serves just don't bring parties over 12 apparently it's frowned upon. read more

Casa Valencia - Seafood Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The food portions are absolutely abysmal I expect to at least be filled if I'm spending $22 dollars on a main course. The best way to describe this place is over complicated seafood with terrible customer service. My food was delivered to another table twice which is simply unacceptable I've had better service at a seafood food truck and I'd honestly recommend you go there instead of here. In conclusion the food is overpriced for the portions, the staff is terrible, and the atmosphere just isn't there. read more

It's always a pleasure to find a restaurant that serves good food and has great service. My husband enjoyed the fajitas, mom loved the siete mares caldo and i was please with the wonderful service that Netty gave us along with all the courteous staff the assisted her. I highly recommend Casa Valencia! Thank you!! read more

First of all, they take forever to take your order. They see that you are out of chips and salsa and don't even ask or bring you more. read more

Casa Valencia - Ceviche! - Seafood Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Menu is similar to Mariscos Chihuahua but without the flavor. Chips were stale. Food had no flavor. Service was slow...very slow probably as slow as the sea snail that is in the 7 seas soup! Had a shrimp cocktail. The shrimp were at room temperature or warmer. Appeared to be boiled in plain water and thrown into the "mixture". Shrimp had no flavor. Decided not to eat anything else. The person I was with ordered chicken tacos. Nothing to write home about. Bland. The place was clean. Although the service was slower than slow, everyone was friendly. Parking is fine. I do not plan on any return visit. read more

Yesterday my husband and I decided to order take out for dinner. We have been to this restaurant plenty of times and we live literally walking distance and the food has always been great. Him and I both got our own entrees and appetizer to share and my husband got the shrimp ceviche. The shrimp was not deveined! And not just one shrimp, literally every piece of shrimp in the ceviche still had the digestive tract in it. I get we won't get sick from it but it's still disgusting. We didn't eat the ceviche or the appetizer because it had shrimp also. My husband got tacos and he wasn't happy with it. He said the meat was dry and bland. My food was good so no complaints there. I contacted them yesterday and still have not received a response. Worst $60 spent plus they're trying to charge my account again so now I get to deal with that. Also nobody in there was wearing a mask. Looked at my husband like he was crazy for wearing one. read more

I ordered for pick up. Got my order (partially my fault for not checking my order there) it was wrong and didn't realize till I got home. I called to tell them and the girl continued to argued with me saying i didnt order what I said i did. I don't even like cameron culichi so why would I orded it? Then she told me they could get my cameron rellenos but needed to return the culichi because free food isn't an option..granted that is okay it was going to go in the fridge, but better the fridge than the trash right? I just thought that was an ugly selfish move on their part. The customer service was horrible for some mediocre meal. read more
