“ When you come to this carniceria you don't expect to find some of the best homemade tortillas and authentic Mexican food. This is my go to place when I'm in the area. This time I tried the machaca con huevo, it was amazing. It's shredded beef with onions,tomatoes,jalapenos, and eggs. It's a Mexican scramble as I would call it. The beef was crispy on the outside but tender when you take a bite. The home made tortillas are by far the best way to pair this dish, the beans are refried but not oily. The rice had the perfect amount of seasoning. This place is a not that big, so get here early in the morning if you plan on dining in. The service is better now, from when I first started coming here. Try it out, they have so many different dishes that no matter what you're craving you will find something, and everything I have tried has been delicious ”
“ Easy to miss from the street, but once you've found it you've struck gold. Lived in AZ, SoCal, and NorCal most of my adult life and consider myself a strict judge of good Mexican food. I'm not joking, this might be some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. Even the rice and beans elicited an "oh my..." after a bite. Had carne asada tacos plate. Also tried the barbacoa tacos and side of guacamole. All top tier. ”

“ I was searching for fresh ceviche and stumbled upon this place on Yelp! It's a Carniceria so they sell lots of fresh meat and fish along with a small store or various Mexican ingredients! They have a nice chips and salsa bar and the atmosphere is very nice! Workers are friendly and the man up front is very kind and always cleaning around. It's a very clean place! I love the avocado salsa and pico and my favorite taco is the fish and the Birria! ”
“ Valencia's Carniceria Taqueria is serving tasty tacos with an ambiance unlike any other place I've been - it felt like I've been transported to a Mexican tavern with pastries, meat market, grocery store, and a taco shop all under one roof. Service is friendly and fast. Cucumber water and Salsa bar are self serve. 5/5 Carnitas: so flavorful and tender 5/5 lengua: so tender with a subtle beef flavor 5/5 Birria con queso: flavorful, tender, cheesy 4/5 Al Pastor: flavorful, a bit tougher than the other cuts All the tortillas were so soft Parking is available in the lot. If I'm back in the area I'd come back in a heartbeat! ”
