    bright clean and spacious dining area with lots of booths. service was fast and friendly. starting with the chips and salsa, was really hoping for some homemade chips, but no, store bought and slightly stale. salsa tasted store bought as well, but not bad. i'll never understand why a mexican restaurant with at least one deep fryer (i know because they have fries on the menu) wouldn't use leftover tortillas to make fresh chips daily. moving on, ordered a michelada which says it comes over ice, did not come over ice. still tasty though. wife ordered a super wet burrito because she wanted sour cream and lettuce inside, but it did not come with that. still tasty with nicely grilled flavor on the carne asada. i'd been craving some enchiladas for a while and ordered the chicken enchilada plate, the server asked if i wanted green or red sauce, i asked for red but it came with green. still tasty, a couple bites had gristle, but that happens with chicken sometimes. the plates came out with 3 different squeeze hot sauces, 2 red and one green. we both liked the darker of the two reds. the server was quick and nice but we probably won't be going back.

    This was what they advertised and what I received ( Carne Asada Torta )

    They absolutely deserve 0 stars ,,, The whole order was wrong a absolutely horrible . Asked for no tomatoes, they added tomatoes, I will let the photos speak for themselves , they should be ashamed of themselves for the food they send out . WOW ,,, arguably the WORST Mexican food I have ever had .. This was a pick up order . See photos and captions !!!

    BLUF: Good-to-great service might overcome sub-par food, but good-to-great food does not overcome sub-par service. Based on my dining experience, Valentina's was an example of the latter. Two stars only because of the cook! Having a yen for some authentic Mexican cuisine, I did some research online and noted that Valentina's had racked up an impressive number of positive reviews. Since I was running some errands in the vicinity, I decided to stop by for an early dinner. I had my choice of seats, and the waitress promptly brought chips and salsa. My drink and meal orders (shrimp fajitas) were taken a few minutes later-so far, so good. My meal arrived (sizzling on a cast-iron serving pan!) after 10-15 minutes, and it was delicious. The waitress stopped by a few minutes after serving the food to ensure that all was well. The portions, as noted by other reviewers, were generous. By the time I had finished eating, there was still a third to a half of the original meal remaining, and I looked forward to taking home the leftovers. At this point, the waitress was assisting another patron with paying a bill and seating another party of two (these individuals and I were the only patrons in the restaurant). The waitress took the other party's drink and meal orders; I expected a follow-up with me to see if I wanted the extra food boxed and to get the check. Nope! The order was delivered to the kitchen and drinks to the other party. At this point, the waitress went back to the kitchen. And I waited. . .and waited. . .and waited. I would have asked another member of the staff for assistance, except that for at least 10 minutes, no staff entered the dining area! Finally, the waitress served the other party their meals and checked in with me. I had wanted a to-go container, but elected not to do so for fear of having to wait another extended period. I waited between 15 and 20 minutes after finishing my meal before I could inform the waitress that I was finished. If I had sufficient cash to pay for the meal, I would have left the requisite amount on the table and left. The only reason I tipped was to ensure that the back-of-house staff was recognized for their efforts. I have eaten in at least a thousand dining establishments across the US and around the world, some with questionable sanitation practices and others where I did not want to know what kind of meat was being served. Despite these issues, I would rank these businesses above Valentina's simply because the proprietors and front-of-house staff had a service-oriented attitude. I'll let this review, my wallet, and my feet do the talking and won't return to Valentina's. I know this likely won't affect the restaurant's future performance or patronage, and that this review is an outlier when compared to the others. However, I simply can't provide a positive (or even mediocre) recommendation, in writing or by word of mouth, for an establishment that made me feel as if I were being held hostage.

    This was absolutely disgusting and misleading. They give you pork grinds from a bag and not actual chicharrón while their menu states exactly what is pictured chicharrón with meat. NOT BAGGED PORK GRINDS.

    NO ONIONS!!

    I don't recommend this place! My wife order through door dash. NO ONIONS! She is allergic!! Looks like extra onions to me! Door dash only gives you a partial refund. And this goes straight in the garbage!

    Service was awesome very nice , the issue was the food my sons friend had tacos which he said was ok, my son got two queso birrias and rice and beans the consume was very fatty tasting the side of rice and beans we kid sized. Other than that he said they were good. Now hubby's food chiliquillas with red and green sauce they were not normal it's like they fried the tortillas and poured sauce over them and plus there were shells in the eggs and very small portion not very tasty my plate huevos rancheros I asked for my eggs over medium. They were very runny. There was one tortilla with two eggs very small portions and not very tasty at all. It's a cute place but defiantly need to serve bigger portions and up the food seasonings . But it's for you to try on your own this is just our opinion

    Great prices and friendly service, items that we have tried multiple times and recommend are: -carne en su jugo -tacos al vapor -lonche de pierna -torta ahogada Chilaquiles were ok-probably wouldn't order that again.

    This place is so new everything in it is still super shiny and clean. It's only about a mile away from my house and Fairfield doesn't have much good restaurants of any kind to go to. It's Sunday and I figured I'd try this new restaurant called Vallantina's, so here goes nothing. Easy menu, I ordered the Carne Asada plate to go, 2 beef tacos for appetizer. With 2 grilled Jalapeño peppers on the side. Price was about right for a good meal, got home unpacked the food it looks great. Taste wise it was not too bad but after a little doctoring it was fine. I will definitely go. Back because I think once the cook is not afraid to spice things up a bit the food will be great I was there between lunch and dinner @3:30 so the service was excellent. No complaints.

    I love Ranch Fino, especially sitting at the bar. Staff is very friendly, food is great either way…read morea lot of choices and beer and cocktails are great! We usually have dinner here after pick up wine at a local winery! They never disappoint!

    We tried them once before and our food wasn't amazing, but was good enough to try again…read more Our second visit we ordered 2 wet chimichangas,a beer and a ranch water. When ordering my husband asked about chips and I pointed out that the menu says 1 basket is included and the cashier nodded. When our food came my husband asked for our chips and the guy said we had to order them and they charge for them. My husband reminded him that he asked when ordering and I again referenced the menu saying 1 basket is included,he said the policy changed and there was a sign on the wall somewhere. My husband had asked for his chimi to have red sauce and I had asked for mine with green, they both came mixed with both sauces on them. The red sauce wasn't very good and it was weird being mixed. My chimi wasn't very well cooked,kinda doughy in the middle. We didn't get a receipt so we couldn't reference the amount we were charged for each thing,but by menu prices it should have come out to about $55. The amount they charge was $80. $80 for 2 chimichangas,a beer and a ranch water and No chips??

    May the 4th be with you has passed so I decided to celebrate Cinco De Mayo here! It was a good…read morechoice!! Walking in, I was immediately greeted with smiling and welcoming vibes from the ladies at the front and told to take a seat wherever I'd like to sit. The hit for me is that MENUDO is available on a non-weekend! I've been craving it and when I ordered it (on a Tuesday), I hoped it would be fresh and it was! The broth was savory and flavorful as is but with the added oregano, dried peppers, onions, and cilantro to my liking- it just made it even better! The best part was that you can either order it with pata or no pata. Shoooot, you don't have to ask me twice! I said I want the pata hahahaha that with tender and not overcooked tripe was just what I was wanting! If you love menudo, this is a place I'd recommend and go to get it regularly. The MICHELADA MARISCADA is tasty! It's a mixture of seafood in a sweet and tangy sauce. For those who do not like spice, this is a great option. I was with someone who doesn't like spicy food and isn't a big fan of Mexican food but MAN! she killed the entire plate! So now we have a place that we both can really enjoy together. Will be back!!

    The Highs: The chicken taco was pretty darn good. I enjoyed it. The shell has a nice crunch to it…read more The chicken was seasoned well My friend enjoyed her el pastor tacos as well. The chicken quesadilla really set it off for me as well. It was flavorful, nice portion size and I enjoyed the dip that came with it also. The Lows: The food was kinda expensive. It was about $60 for a to go order of 6 tacos and a quesadilla and a drink. While the food was good, not sure if the price was worth it considering all of the other Mexican food options nearby. Also, the tacos didn't come with any sides (rice, beans, etc.) which was unfortunate for the price. The In-Between: We found this place on Instagram based on a video review someone did. The parking was a little tough. The service was cool for our to go order.

    Chapo's Tacos was hands down one of the BEST decisions we made for our baby shower. From the moment…read morethey arrived, their team was incredible--so kind, professional, organized, and on top of everything. The service was seamless and truly stress-free, which meant the world to us on such an important day. And the food... WOW WOW WOW. Absolutely unreal. Every single guest was raving about it--people are still talking about how good it was and asking where we ordered from. Not a single miss on the menu. Fresh, flavorful, and beyond delicious. Thank you to Chapo's Tacos and the entire team for going above and beyond and helping make our baby shower unforgettable. We are beyond grateful and would recommend them a thousand times over. If you're thinking about booking them--DO IT.

    WOWWWW.. Just book them!!…read more Initial contact was easy, I chose to correspond by email. Their response time was good, typically pretty fast (within a couple hours) but no more than 24 hours. Pricing is really good and we had quite a bit of food left over still. I loved that it wasn't just tacos, there's plenty of other options like quesadillas, mulitas, etc. I did paye xtra to have grilled jalapeno and onions, and they're soo yummy! They're super friendly and professional, not to mention the food was really good. I attached a photo of them and their setup (with their approval, of course). I hired them for my small engagement party about 30 adults and everyone raved about how good their food was. I still have guests talking about their food. Their salsas are also so flavorful and it goes from mild, medium and hot. Thank you ChaposTacos for making my special day even better! You're the best!

Jarritos is tucked away on the corner of a small plaza next to a busy liquor store and laundromat. If you go at night, it can get a bit sketchy, but the last time there was a security guard present. Despite the rough neighborhood, each time we enter Jarritos, we are greeted by friendly faces. There are usually several kind workers behind the register and grill.

And the amount of people standing around wasn't a good sign but we thought, smart restaurants should treat the people dining in as urgent orders. No one checks in on you. No apologies for the food being so delayed. We ordered carne asada plate and it was disgusting. Thin slices. Not how normal carne asada is served. My husband had the fried steak and he didn't even eat it. The food took way too long which just ruined the whole evening and appetite. Then when you go to check out they're disorganized. Taking phone calls instead of helping you. It truly deserved $0 tip. On to the next one. Until they do better and change their attitude.
