My business partners and I went to Valentina after our bowling night and had a peak dining experience.
We tend to be indecisive when choosing meals so we let our lovely waitress Shiloh steer our menu choices.
We were not disappointed.
She recommended the gambas al ajillo, sashimi mediterráneo, patatas bravas, and the buñuelos. Each dish exceeded our expectations. I inhaled the patatas bravas. The portions were perfect for sharing between three people. I was so stuffed I had to unbutton my blouse.
Besides the vibey atmosphere, and the food tasting amazing, Shiloh’s fantastic service and careful curation of each dish made us feel like family (and we weren’t even at olive garden.)
We will definitely be coming back soon and next time we’ll get the schnitzel

Truly one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Food came out instantly and was delicious. My favorites were patatas bravas and milanesa de pollo.

I ordered the Steak Frites and it was absolutely outstanding—cooked to perfection with perfectly crispy French fries. The steak was topped with an incredible mushroom sauce that complemented it beautifully, bursting with rich, savory flavors that completely delighted my palate. Every bite was a wow.
The Gambas al Ajillo was simply divine. The buttery sauce, perfectly infused with seasoning, was beyond delicious and utterly irresistible. I could have happily eaten that dish all night! Brooke

Everything was great. This is our second time coming here and the food was very delicious, service was great, and we like the ambiance. We had the croquetas, the almejas, gambas al ajillo, the pimientos, and the steak frites. Yum

Valentina is the best. It's adorable and cozy with amazing food and service. My favorite in North County!

All of the food was delicious & the two bottles of wine we ordered were both very good. We were there as a party of 6 people & shared everything. I've been there 4 times now & each time I dine there that the food has continued to improve.

This was my 3rd time to the restaurant and it was a bit disappointing. I had really enjoyed my last experience there in October, the waiter was great, the food was tasty. Last night's experience really fell short, our waitress took a while to introduce herself, she didn't return until we were done with our meal to ask how it was. Our beer was served to us half full. A couple of the same dishes I had to were less flavorful or less well cooked. The steak too was just covered in sauce and predominant just a salt flavor. It was a bummer considering the cost of the meal.

We had another wonderful dinner at Valentina's. It never disappoints. We had my son's girlfriend visiting from Texas and she was so impressed.
One of the best dining experiences I've had. Everytime I am in town from PA I make no exceptions to make it a priority to stop in. The food is unique and delicious. Kimberly is the best server ever!! Just found out she graduated from school and hope she stays around. PLEASE put Valentina on your list of places to dine - you won't regret it!!

Delicious tapas & more, a little on the pricey side, but worth it. They do have a good Happy hour, which I had only one of, as everything I wanted was not on it. My waitress service at the bar was excellent, friendly and helpful, in fact all servers were nice from start to finish.

This is our "go to" restaurant for special occasions. ALWAYS great food and service, menu is Spanish themed and while not extensive, is very thorough and great selection.

We love our dinners at Valentina! The gambas and artichoke are a particular favorite but everything is delicious!

Love this place. Excellent tapas-style food and they mix up the menu really well. One of our favorites.
