Valencia Luncheria - Norwalk

The food is fresh and bursting with flavor. I also appreciate that they serve water from a wine bottle.

I highly recommend this hidden gem! The food is delicious and the atmosphere is lively and enjoyable. Absolutely fantastic!

That said, I had a great experience at Valencia. I visited on a Tuesday with a friend, and we enjoyed some food and drinks. I ordered the rum punch, which was very sweet but still enjoyable. We shared ceviche and a crab cake from the specials menu, along with one empanada each. The ceviche had an unusual flavor, reminiscent of cocktail sauce, which I’m not used to, so I’m not sure I’d order it again. The crab cake, on the other hand, was delicious. There was a mix-up with my friend's order, and she received an arepa by mistake, but we didn’t mention it to the server since it was tasty as well. Overall, we had a lovely time and will definitely be returning!

We enjoyed a delicious dinner at this restaurant. We arrived at 6:30 on a Saturday night, and it was bustling (we managed to snag the last two-person table since they don’t take reservations for smaller groups). The tables are set quite close together. I ordered the ceviche and chicken arepas, while my partner chose another dish. Everything was fresh and bursting with flavor. The cauliflower curry soup was fantastic as well. We'll definitely be returning. Just a heads-up—parking can be tricky!

Great place! I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Our server, Jessie, was amazing, providing excellent service. We visited for Sunday brunch and ordered the chicken bacon chowder, breakfast tacos, and the steak and eggs plate. I'm looking forward to going back to sample more items from their menu!
