La Valentina Mexican Kitchen 1881 Northwest 7th Street, Miami, FL 33125

"I only came here because when I went to the Miami River Mexican cuisine store they were closed due to some kitchen issues. The guy came out and sent me over here instead. My daughter and I ordered the chips and guacamole. The guacamole was actually more tasty than at the other store. The one other time I’d gone there the guacamole was bland. The order is pretty big. It’s a lot of guac. We took home leftovers of the guac. I also ordered the Elote. It was very good, except one side was warm and the other side was cold. But the combination of flavors- the lime juice, cheese, cream, and Anjito was delish! For our meals I got the 3 fish tacos on corn tortillas and my daughter got the 3 shrimp tacos on flour tortillas. We both finished all of our tacos. Mine were delicious! I’m not sure what the sauce on the side is. It tasted like a mix of ketchup and mayo?!? But they also put two salsas on the table. The green one is SPICY! The red one is mild. Altogether our meals were about $45. Not bad. Parking is an issue. I didn’t see a parking lot. There are spots right in front of the store. But only a couple. Since we were going there at 3 in the afternoon it was easy for us to get a spot. We were the only people eating in the restaurant. There were a few people who came in to pick up orders. I would come back again if I’m in the area, but this place is pretty far away from where I live."

"This was some of the best taco meat of my life. We were in a rush to get to the baseball game, otherwise we would have spent more time there. But we got our food really fast and it was so yummy. We still talk about it a few days later. The service was friendly and fast."

"Awful. The worst tacos I have ever eaten in my life and I have LIVED IN MEXICO. I don't understand how they even served me unedible tacos. I ordered 3 tacos and all of it was FAT. I ate less than half my order of what was actual meat. I'm disgusted. Below is a picture of all of the fat that was in 3 tacos. Not to mention I only received one tortilla per taco. A typical street taco (which is what these were) should have been 2 tortillas. It was completely falling apart. What a waste of money. I have never in my life eaten a taco FROM MEXICO with ANY fat. Maybe a small piece at the most. Looks like they just gave me all skin and could care less about it. If they hadn't closed I would've gone back to get my money back."

"My husband got Mexican steak and I got quesadillas with cheese food was fresh and hot. The server was kind also great customer service . Very clean restaurant and very inviting. Thank you again for the wonderful hospitality."

"We went to this place by looking at the reviews. It was very difficult to communicate as they did not know how to speak english, we had to use translator. We did not receive 2 items from the whole order still we were charged but then got removed. The food was okayish and rice was uncooked! The interior was good it is a small and clean. The bathroom was clean. It is recommended for small snacks. Gauc was good."
