My favorite restaurant in Norwalk. The dolce de leche coffee is worth the drive. Great place for breakfast or lunch. Very good menu with a little bit of everything. Reasonable prices. I love the outdoor seating area with the sand. Great decor, with art all over the walls. Bring a friend, come for brunch, stay for lunch and cocktails.

You don't what you have until it's gone holds true for Valencia. Since moving out of Norwalk I've been back maybe 1x so I made it my mission to go back today. I love the house salad, which I got today, a long with the Carlo arepa. My daughter had the gigantic burrito and ate half which was a huge win! We love coming here and highly recommend it!

This place is too good. I was having a hard time when I came through and the bartender went above and beyond to cheer me up. This was weeks ago and I still remember. I’ll always think of him and the Black Bean Soup at Valencia.

The best arepas in CT! A can’t miss lunch or dinner spot with all fresh ingredients and friendly wait staff. Parking can be tricky on occasion but well worth it for the food.

The manager seemed mad at us that the waitress told us to sit anywhere. She came over and we told her what the waitress said and she says “oh did she” very sarcastically as if we were lying. She then comes back to the table, which is a small table, and she has like a quart of some liquid with no top on it and pours it forcefully right towards me. I was literally drenched with this cleaning liquid within seconds. And I mean drenched. Half of the bottle came flying at me. I don’t know where she thought all that liquid was going to go. As I stated, it’s a small table and the liquid has no cap and a wide opening. I was in complete shock. I stand up and ask her what it is and she says a peroxide mix. I said is it going to stain and she says well yeah. I went to wash my entire dress in the sink and then me and my friend walked outside to try to dry off a bit. We were out there for a good 10 minutes where she never came out, nor did anybody to see if I was ok. My friend and I left and what was disappointing was that we were there to celebrate myself and another friend, who we were waiting on, birthdays. Well happy birthday to me. I will never return there. And I am outraged to find out that was the manager of the restaurant. She was mad and did it on purpose. Don’t ever go there and take it upon yourself to listen to the waitress when she says to pick any seat you want because you may just have cleaning liquid poured all over you. And yes, I had to throw the dress away because it was stained.

Favorite restaurant in Fairfield county. The pollo asado on the specials menu is incredible as is everything else.
I urge you all to look closely at your arepas or any bread from here, every time I eat here there is always Lint or dust particles, it’s so annoying because honestly I love the flavor and the food is to die for, but I’m tired of always seeing these particles of lint and consuming them, I’ve mentioned it before and was just told that it’s the flour/starch the use, but cmon I know that’s not the case. I stopped coming here for this specific reason and came back again after a few months, nothings changed, you people are eating lint, I tried my best to use a black background to show the lint

Stopped by own the way to Boston to get a quick lunch, and then need up getting tequeños, an arepa with pabellon, and chorizo and pepper empanada. Service wasn't the fastest, but they did take good care of us.
