We had a wonderful dining experience here! The food was delicious — we tried the chicken sopes, Monday special nachos, tacos and churros. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The service was good too, although we were surprised to see a service charge on a party of two since we know tipping is expected. But honestly, the food was so good it made up for that little surprise!

We left the marlins ball park and there was nowhere to go except this place. Even though it was close to closing time Paola and Albert gave us amazing service. The food was good and the service great. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

My go-to place for tacos. Personally the chicharron verde slaps. Spicy but delicious.
Paola is such an amazing server. She’s very polite and efficient. I would highly recommend it!

Sooooo we were just driving around the neighborhood looking for Little Havana and was searching to get some Cuban food. But last minute, we just wanted to eat some Mexican food. I was hesitant to even find one because I am VERY picky. I seem to walk out of most Mexican restaurants not that happy. There are so many Mexican restaurants out there that don’t make their stuff authentic and don’t put much love into the food. I live in Las Vegas, NV and there is not one good Mexican restaurant I recommend. Anyway, we decided to come to La Valentina. We were surprised the restaurant was so tiny. We sat down and ordered mixed fajitas and chicken enchiladas with a mix of green and red sauce. Let me tell ya… The food was outstanding! The salsa was so flavourful and everything just tasted so authentic. The Spanish rice was cooked to perfection and sooo good. The guacamole was the best I ever had. It was perfectly ripped and flavored! When we got there probably about 15 minutes in, it got soooo busy for our waitress. People were standing in line out the door just to sit and eat. Because I felt bad for people waiting, I felt rushed lol. I wish I lived in Miami just to try everything on the menu. If you don’t need a nice atmosphere dining experience but want very good authentic Mexican food, I totally recommend coming here. I just hope I don’t have to wait for a long time to sit and eat because the restaurant is very tiny. We’ll be flying back in July and definitely be back because we can’t get this type of food in Las Vegas .
