So my partner has been talking about a 3-way, and I've been hesitant until I went to Valentine's. Funny thing when we got there they didn't want a 3-way, they decided on a paloma (I'm talking about drinks, get your mind out of the gutter). Both were worth doing again. We had tacos, rib-eye, carnitas, and tripas. First, these are true bonus tacos, don't eat the 2nd blue corn tortilla with the first. Save it to catch the ample fillings. The tripas had the perfect crunch and the red sauce has a tasty kick, topped with onion cilantro. The carnitas were nicely seasoned topped with pickled onion and paired with a lovely verde sauce. The rib-eye was the star, seasoned well, cooked to perfection, topped with crema, cilantro, and paired with verde. Of course we had to try the churros and cheesecake. Churros were nice, but the cheesecake, the cheesecake, omg... the cheesecake is thick, creamy, perfect texture. They pair it with a house cream with dehydrated strawberries. I'm in heaven, pure bliss. Slight cons - tables inside were sticky, we moved a few times and finally went outside, which was perfect. Food as good as this cost, so be willing to pay. But with the portions and today's economy I think it was worth it. Two of us left with our bellies bursting.

Very Delicious! Well priced. Great presentation of plates. Surprised this place isn't more packed all the time. Had the fish tacos (a little small but only 8 bucks), the ham and cheese torta (so good) and the flautas.

We had the fish tacos and blue crab tacos that were in season, and they were absolutely delish. Cocktails are great as well!

Was very impressed with this restaurant! Wasn’t too sure if this was a typical Tex mex restaurant, but it was not. Very authentic a la carte Mexican food but with a up-class appeal. The portions may look small, but they are not! The quality of the food was VERY GOOD! I would definitely go again for brunch or dinner. If you have a chance try what I had ordered: brisket flautas, sirloin tacos, calabacitas, arroz con leche, and their apple fritters! Couldn’t have been more pleased with this place, and the inside is very up-scale looking! Affordable as well!!

If give it 5 stars but because portions of food were very small i had to do 4. This place is delicious and prices aren’t bad when when you take 2 teenage boys they ended up getting 3 plates each just to fill up then there goes the bargain. There bone marrow and margaritas were delicious.

Nestled in the heart of El Paso, Valentine's Kitchen is a culinary gem that invites you to savor authentic Mexican flavors elevated by thoughtful presentation and rich textures. From the moment you step in, the friendly atmosphere makes you feel like part of the family, an experience echoed by many loyal patrons.

The star of the menu, without a doubt, is their array of tacos—each crafted with care and bursting with flavor. The tripas stand out with their perfect crunchy bite and a red sauce that delivers a satisfying kick, balanced by fresh onion and cilantro. The carnitas offer a harmonious blend of seasoning topped with tangy pickled onions and a vibrant verde sauce, while the rib-eye taco is nothing short of spectacular, cooked precisely and crowned with crema and bright cilantro.

Valentine's Kitchen extends its excellence beyond tacos to include dishes like fish and blue crab tacos, flautas, and ham and cheese tortas, all well-priced and beautifully plated. Their cocktails, especially the paloma, complement the food impeccably, delivering refreshing notes that round out a memorable meal.

For dessert, the cheesecake is an absolute revelation—thick, creamy, and luxuriously textured, paired with house-made cream and dehydrated strawberries to create a blissful end to your dining experience. While the churros offer a sweet companion, it's the cheesecake that lingers in both memory and palate.

Though interior seating may require a bit of patience and the price point leans toward the higher side, the generous portions and genuinely crafted dishes justify the value. Dining at Valentine's Kitchen is an invitation to delve deep into robust Mexican flavors with a contemporary twist, all wrapped in warm hospitality and vibrant energy. A must-visit for those eager to savor El Paso’s rich culinary scene.
