Reviews
The reopening feels fresh and intentional. The space looks amazing, the service is just as welcoming, and the food is still packed with the bold, comforting Venezuelan flavors everyone fell in love with. You can tell there’s been thoughtful growth behind the scenes, not a loss of identity.
If you’ve been hesitant because of the name change, don’t be. Valencia Cocina is honoring its roots while stepping into something new.
Valencia Cocina absolutely nailed it with the appetizers.
⭐️ Fried Calamari was perfectly crispy without being heavy or greasy. The seasoning was balanced, and that creamy dipping sauce with a hint of spice took it to another level. Chef’s kiss.
⭐️ Ceviche was just as impressive. Bright, fresh, and beautifully plated. The citrus base was vibrant without overpowering the seafood. And the crispy plantain on top? Such a smart touch. It tasted clean, refreshing, and high quality.
These two dishes alone prove the kitchen is still delivering, if not leveling up. Fresh ingredients, thoughtful presentation, and bold Latin flavors done right.
Highly recommend starting your meal with both.
The food has clearly been taken to another level. The new menu feels thoughtful and refined without losing the soul of what Valencia is known for. Every dish feels more composed and balanced.
The ceviche is outstanding. It is bright, fresh, and perfectly seasoned with just the right acidity and texture. You can taste the quality of the ingredients and the care in execution. It is absolutely a must order.
It also made me genuinely happy to see Louisito again. He has always provided great service, and seeing a familiar face after so many years added to the experience. That combination of elevated food and the same welcoming hospitality is what keeps me coming back.
Overall, the transformation is impressive. I love the new menu and look forward to many more visits.
The new look is very modern and clean, it’s a beautiful restaurant. Perfect for a date, or family meals.
The selection of mocktails was substantial.
I had the one called Mangopeno which was a spicy mango mocktail served up, it was delicious. Although, my favorite was the Juniper Honey mocktail also served up. It was balanced not too sweet and not too sour, and unique.
The table favorites were the street corn, the guacamole, pork belly arepa, and branzino.
The fish was cooked perfectly and I really enjoyed the half red and half green sauces on top.
Servers were attentive and welcoming.
Can’t wait to come back.
The menu is the biggest win. There are more delicious options now, and everything feels elevated while still keeping those amazing Venezuelan flavors. It honestly feels like the same heart, just better. Definitely worth checking out again.
