" I’ve been a customer for years and finally decided to leave a review. The quality of food has remained consistent. Tried the quesabirria today, and it was incredible! The broth is just perfect for dipping. The outdoor area has a great vibe, and the prices remain reasonable. This is the best Mexican food in the city, 100% worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the carne asada, and it was tasty, but could have used a bit more seasoning. The service was on point, as my waitress was super friendly and attentive. The environment is cozy, perfect for catching up with friends. Would recommend the place, but maybe stick to the tacos next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great authentic flavors at La Vallesana. The nachos were very impressive, piled high with the works! Service was fairly prompt, but I did notice a slight delay during peak hours. Overall, the vibrant feel of the place coupled with great food keeps me coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Interesting experience overall. The food was good, albeit heavier than I'd usually go for. I had the carne asada, which was quite filling. The environment was lively, and the staff was attentive, but the few miscommunications on orders led to some confusion. I see the potential though! I’d try it again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Good overall but not as good as I remember. I had high hopes for the birria, but it was a bit bland. The service was quick, but I was disappointed in the portion sizes for the price. The atmosphere is lively, and I love the outdoor seating option. I would still recommend it based on past experiences, but maybe avoid the birria next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We enjoyed our meal at La Vallesana, but the service was hit-or-miss. The ambiance gave off a nice vibe, but our food took a while to arrive. The tacos were flavorful, especially the al pastor. Try the margaritas—they're fantastic! I'll give this restaurant another try, possibly during off-peak hours for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! Every time I visit La Vallesana, I leave satisfied. The tacos al pastor are bursting with flavor, and the homemade salsas elevate the experience. I also appreciated the biodegradable containers they use for takeout. They have made significant strides in their offerings, and I believe they are an institution in STL for Mexican cuisine. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)
