We truly appreciate Valenz Mexican Kitchen and their wonderful restaurant, food truck, and catering…read moreservices. El Dorado Hills is fortunate to have such an excellent local business. Valenz catered our son's wedding rehearsal dinner at our home, serving approximately 40 guests. They set up on our deck, and the presentation was fantastic. Their personal service was outstanding, and we especially loved how warmly they interacted with everyone. They instantly became part of the celebration. Our guests enjoyed personalized service featuring tacos, burritos, beans, fresh salads, and custom sauces. Everything was delicious, well organized, and beautifully presented. The breakdown and cleanup were flawless. We could not have been more pleased and only wish we had another reason to do it all over again. As summer winds down, anyone looking for a catering option for a wedding, family gathering, or neighborhood party should strongly consider Valenz Mexican Kitchen.

Patio and indoor dining options. Handmade ceramic mugs available in the entry. We were promptly offered our choice of window tables.

Great food and beer, we look forward to visiting again.

This place truly has everything -- a small grocery selection, fresh Mexican baked goods, and even made-to-order food. The pan dulce section alone is worth the visit! It's one of those spots where you can grab specialty ingredients, fresh tortillas, hot food, and sweet treats all in one stop. Prices are comparable to other Mexican grocery stores in the surrounding area, which makes it even better. So happy to support a local business that brings real flavor and culture to our community.

We made a reservation for our party of 10. Glad we did because this was a poplar place and filled up quickly for lunch. I've never dined here before, not because of any particular reason. But glad I gotta finally. Good food, outstanding customer service, and relaxing welcoming vibes. Service was awesome. Our waiter was on it! He had an engaging personality and did a superb job. Got drinks out, food came out hot n quick and all about the same time, refills attended to without asking, and they even allowed us to split checks (we asked for 3). Awesome! We received complimentary chips and salsa. No complaints there. The salsa was flavorful with a nice thickness. It took me forever to choose... the options were plentiful. I ended up ordering the lamb shank. $23.The shank itself is a distinctive flavor cut of meat. If it's cooked right, it should be moist, fork tender and infused with the slices used. Well ... they did it right! Spiced and marinated giving it flavor to pair with the shank's natural distinct flavor. Mmm. The plate came with Mexican rice and refried beans with flour or corn tortillas. The rice was fluffy. The refried beans were tasty. Prepared well, no aftermath toots. The restaurant is not new but well kept and maintained. Relaxing, family friendly vibes. The interior decor was festive. Beautiful carved wooden booths. They have a separate bar area offset in its own room. The women's restrooms had beautiful colorful tiled bathroom sinks. Fun pop of color.

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!

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.

My mom ended up having the El Pastore special, which included a beverage for 12.99 which is an amazing deal and I ended up having the beef fajitas which had a kick. I even asked what was in them as I would like to attempt the flavor. They kindly told me what was in the beef fajitas.
