Had an awesome meal here with family. We enjoyed every part of the meal. The ceviche was delicious. And the Charred Octopus was perfect. I can recommend the strawberry Flan. We will be back!

The food was awesome, but we were very disappointed in service.First of all, we made a reservation, but we were told when we got there there were no tables available inside, but we would be seated outside. We did not want to eat outside as it was rather warm. They did get us a table inside which was great. We ordered appetizers , dinner and a bottle of wine. After the bottle we decided to get one more glass as you have the same wine on the menu. Your glass of the same wine is cheaper than getting it by the bottle, which is unusual, so we simply asked our waitress why that was so.. Her response was, “Well, now you know”..We felt like she was very flippant.Then, we weren’t offered coffee or dessert. Then, as we were finishing up sips of our last glass of wine, the lights were turned on and they were beginning to clean up. I understand you close at 9:00, but our reservation was at 7:30. And the Paella took quite a while to prepare and that was fine with us, because we understand it takes time to prepare excellent food! We just felt it was a bit rude to make us feel kicked out! I looked at my watch when we walked out the door and it was 9:10. Was it really necessary to turn the lights on customers right at 9:00 when we were finishing up? I hate writing this negative review, but the owners need to know. I hope this constructive criticism is taken to heed. You have a beautiful restaurant with great food. Please don’t let your service keep people from experiencing that!

My Sweet JESUS!!! This Burger ? almost made me catch the Holy Ghost!!! I sat outside on one of those red stools. I'm going back for another one of those burgers. After that, I'll try the rest of the menu to see if the other items add up to the delicious quality of the burger. My drink was absolutely on point. Everyone from the hostess, waitress, and management was extremely nice. I am highly recommending VALENCIA!!!

Been here twice to eat both times were excellent. I had the beef empanadas, goat cheese with sliced bread, skirt steak with small potatoes and a little salad that comes with the dish. If the weather is nice and cool sit outside, it’s more relaxing. Penny was our waitress the second time and she’s outgoing, very nice, gives advice about dishes (knows the food) just all around a great person.

I paid 80$ for jambalaya that they called paella.
Edit to respond to owner: sorry 60$ plus tip, tax, and drink. That's cool y'all use premium ingredients but it didn't translate to taste. I think outside Louisiana this dish might do well, but it was pretty bland compared to what we eat everyday. Just sucked paying that much money for a meh meal.

This is a restaurant that you want to try everything in the menu. Ever dish is crafted with care and is an experience of something special about how the chef incisions a taste of the region. The presentation and blend of flavors are transformative.
Parking: Depending on the road repairs it isn't bad but look for street parking and walk a block as right around the restaurant is a bit tight.

First visit, skipped the main courses for 5 appetizers instead. All were delicious and delivered quickly. Had a bottle of wine too plus after dinner drinks (I had the one with jalapeños in it...spicy!) We will definitely return.

It seems like a lot of restaurants focused on a particular cultural cuisine are gimmicky, but not this one!
The food was excellent: Proof certain is the fact that my wife could not resist finishing her entire meal (Steak Frites). I had a mix of the chicken and beef empanadas and they were excellent. The food was very fresh, clean, and surprisingly light. The entire restaurant, including the bathrooms, were impeccably spotless. The staff was great and extremely pleasant. We will be back to try the paella.
We nearly missed this restaurant because we tried to go on a Sunday when their website said they were open, even though Google said they were closed. I'm glad we made a second run at it.
First visit, had 5 appetizers instead of a main course. lots of food, delicious and filled us up. Next time I'll try the paella.

We had a very pleasant experience dining at Valencia. Our waitress recommended the garlic shrimp shareable and the paella Valencia. Both were wonderful. She also recommended the flan for dessert. We got the strawberry flan and it was fantastic. The service was top notch and the outdoor dining had nice ambience.

Exceptional blend of Spanish and Cajun cuisine. Our Sunday brunch server was spot-on with her recommendations.
Wife and I shared the Valencia burger and the skirt steak. I’ve never tasted a burger like this! Awesome! The steak and mushrooms were full of flavor, very good! Jessica, our waitress, was great, her suggestions and descriptions were right on. The ham as aljillo and Valencia rolls were amazing as well. Highly recommend!!
