Valentines Mexican Food

I live walking distance from this place and I have gone here over 10 tims! It is the best quick Mexican food in gaslamp!! It's no frills, just authentic, delicious Mexican food that hits the spot every time! It is family owned and they go above and beyond every time I go in. Ps: If you are struggling on a Saturday morning after a night out downtown, try the California burrito it's *chefs kiss*

Valentine's has a big menu and big portions. Not my favorite place to eat in house but the carry out and delivery is great. The sour crème guacamole is the best. Tacos and burritos are really good.

Valentines not only has delicious Mexican food they also have a huge menu. I ordered the chicken chimichanga. It was so crispy and full of chicken just like I like it. I've had other chimichangas that for some reason fail to be crispy but not here. Good also comes with a side of free house made tortilla chips. They have a good variety of salsas too. Not just red/green but a few others in between. The customer service is friendly. You walk up to place your order, take a number, then they deliver to your table. They have indoor and outdoor dining areas. I will note they have a pretty big vegetarian menu too. I will be back to try some of those next!

This place is terrible! Portions are small for the price, service is bad, I waited for 5 minutes after placing my order (being the only order taken) when the cashier asked me what I had ordered and only just called it back to the kitchen. Food is mediocre at best. Don't waste your money on this dump. Go around the corner to The Taco Stand, they are 100 times superior. I wish I had never tried Valentine's.

Ordered a Cali burrito with no pico. Burrito was mostly tortilla which was kind of stiff and chewy. The burrito was also very small compared to other taco shops around town. The burrito had maybe one scoop of guac and was VERY dry when I ate it. Probably the worst California burrito I've ever had. Do better.

This place deserves a better review than they have. Their food is good, the ambience is decent. They're honestly one of the better options downtown. I recommend their carne asada burrito.

Prices not listed anywhere nor are there menus anywhere. Second there is no notification of any extra charge for using a debit card.Finally and what makes this review so bad, after waiting for my order for ten minutes the cook comes out to the dining room and was not even aware he had an order pending.For the record the burrito itself was okay, neither good nor bad.

I really wish I could give this place a rating but I'm choosing 1 star simply because they DO NOT keep their hours updated online and I walked about 5 blocks up and down those San Diego hills just for them to be closed when I was misled to believe they were opened until 3am. I showed up around 1:30am on a Friday night. Wouldn't be that bad if I wasn't sold by them online just to not be open. Maybe, Just maybe next time.

Establishment no longer serves beer as indicated in one of the review photos here....We wanted Mexican for dinner. The outside seating seemed promising that it would be a quality Mexican Dinner but it was Average. I guess we were expecting more...... but it's a simple Mexican Restaurant and not a fancy place to eat. Carne Asada Plate is not true Carne Asada. Steak was chopped up and not a whole steak as expected in most Carne Asada Plates I've hadBut my husband loved his Machaca and it was delicious. It's in the GasLamp district along with other eateries. 3 stars... It's a little bit above standard but did not impress.

The finest Mexican cuisine I've enjoyed beyond the borders of Mexico. Tucked away in downtown, it's an ideal spot for lunch, offering a fantastic urban atmosphere with the option of outdoor seating. The food was flawless. The salsa boasts a delightful flavor, with just enough heat to prompt a pause and savor every 3 or 4 chips. If you find yourself in Downtown San Diego, a visit is a must.
