I had dinner with a friend at Valencia's last night.She had never been there and really enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was delightful. Problem was, I kept comparing it to when it was a tiny little place you had to squeeze into, with along line outside the door. The prices were unbeatable, they had no liquor license but the... More

My husband and I came here with our daughter for brunch on Saturday and the food was spectacular. There was an enormous brunch menu with a margarita bar. The brunch specials and the sandwiches were generous and the sauces were gourmet quality. The restaurant is fun and relaxed, but the service is not. The waitress was professional, friendly and attentive.... More

This is an amazing restaurant I wish they will make it a chain. The food is delicious. Service is great and the place is always fool/ Still worth the wait. I wish they would expend it even more. Maybe add some live music there one day. "Works" is amazing and "Carlo" is my favorite choice for emanadas.

What a gem! I walked in and ate at the bar. Great vibe, great food, young crowd. Best tex mex in Norwalk? Probably. Worth stopping for? Definitely.

Seriously, I could go broke. The amazing margaritas do NOT help! Fun atmosphere and the food is consistently delicious. I want to explore the menu but the fish tacos keep calling my name. Amazing how those voices get louder after the second margarita! I shouldn't promote this place. It's crowded enough already! Although I've never experienced anything but great service... More

This restaurant feels like a bit of San Diego with its little plot of sand and picnic tables in its front yard. The interior is casual and really feels like the ocean is just outdoors even though you are on a city street! We had breakfast here and it was delicious. The seasonings were really fresh- the guacamole, beans and... More

Valencia Luncheria has everything I like in a restaurant (fresh, tasty, spicy food). Since it was my first time, I ordered The Works, which included an arepa (handmade corn cake), an empanada, ceviche, rice, beans, plantains, and avocado. I was able to choose the Casio Arepa (mozzarella, tomato and basil) and a Curried Cauliflower and Ricotta Empanada. Every item I... More

My girlfriend and I decided to check this place when we were in the area. Definitely was happy we did. Very neat and unique dining experience. The decor and vibe of this place are very fun. The food is very good. We tried a variety of arepas and empanadas and some we liked better than others, but that was just... More

This was our first trip to this restaurant. We had 6 adults and 2 toddlers on a Saturday late morning. What a great find! The restaurant was full and was a bit noisy, but in a good way! The bustle of people and wait staff were pleasant and nice for people watching. Servers were very friendly and courteous. The menu... More
