I like the tables and booths since they are simple with only having 2 colors black and white. the restaurant was clean there was no mess left over on the table which i really appreciate since most mexican restaurants have crusted over cheese dip on the tables. The vibe of the restaurant feels a little out of date and the decore is not the best. It feels like an after party with the spanish music coming from the kitchen and especially with the slapped on mexican stickers all over the place. The stickers are very stereotypical mexican with the sombreros and piñatas. I also do not appreciate like the light fixtures they look like an applebees but that's just my personal preference. The food was really good, it didn't taste like cleaner and it was nice and hot. The portions are good and i had plenty to eat later the next day. I would highly recommend this mexican restaurant and i will be coming back!

All of my in-laws and my husband have eaten here and told me how wonderful it is - my turn! Small, unpretentious restaurant with a lot more seating than you would think from the outside appearance. Immediate lunch seating and prompt, large basket of chips with a mason jar of salsa and 3 small cups. The chips are good, but watch that salsa - it's got a kick! Husband and sister-in-law ordered the Tacos Nortenos with chicken; they had had these before and were fans. I'm not a big taco eater, but I took a bite of one and would definitely eat these. I went with sister-in-law's recommendation of the Monterey Enchiladas, and I would have licked the plate when I was done if I wasn't afraid of being caught...that cheese sauce is to die for! I want it on everything! Our drinks were refilled without asking, and there was no need for a takeout box. :) I had to stare at the bill for a minute before adding the tip - $41 for 3 people to eat lunch, with drinks & tax. It was SO worth the drive.

First time visit. Was recommended by a coworker. We weren't impressed. Food wasn't seasoned well…read more Portion sizes were smallish. The interior was nice but kinda small tables. Men's bathroom didn't have any paper towels. Server was nice at first but didn't come back to the table. Rough around the edges but for the price, probably would opt for another spot given how much this place didn't check the boxes for us. Wanted to like it, but sadly likely won't be back.

The food in the cafe in the back looked like it had been sitting for hours and it was only 10 am. Highly deceptive pricing! They do not put prices on anything. Staff will speak only in Spanish to you. As a Latina, I find that this not only is unprofessional but not tailored to serve a community that is in need for reasonable pricing. I am heading to Hattiesburg area to pick up some of these staples bcuz there is no reason these prices should represent California prices.

Carniceria Valdez is a great option for Mexican food and it is a great example that the best…read moreMexican food comes from humble establishments rather than some high-end establishment heavy on atmosphere and ambiance. Carniceria Valdez is literally a counter in the back of a Mexican grocery, but coming out of that kitchen is some mighty fine Mexican food. I went with a couple of tacos and a gordita. For the gordita, I went with chorizo as the protein and for the tacos I went with the asada and the barbacoa. The tacos were just under two dollars each ($1.99 to be exact) and the gordita was, I believe, $3.50. I probably enjoyed the gordita the most and the chorizo was definitely my favorite protein out of my three choices. The staff was friendly enough, though the ordering process was you walk up to the counter and order your meal and they call you up when it is ready. All in all, I would definitely recommend here and I will give it five stars.

The spinach enchilada was very runny and nasty. We took one bite and couldn't stomach it. We couldn't enjoy our beverages as the alcohol was too strong, which made the already overpriced drink that much more disappointing... our waitress said she could not bring me any juice to pour in it. I asked for a to go water and because the alcohol was still on the table they told me no.. I kinda get that but they seriously could've handed me the water as I was walking out the door I needed it. I got sick in their parking lot before we left.
