La Valentina Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Looked for a Mexican restaurant after landing at LAX and found this one. I'm not sure why restaurants insist on playing music so damn loud that you can't have a reasonable conversation with someone sitting across the table from you, but that was the case here as well. It was aggravating. I had a wet burrito that tasted funny and was only able to eat about 4 bites before feeling not so good. My son also tried it and he agreed that it tasted funky. He had the papusas and they were much tastier. The weird thing was, before we were finished and ready to go, the waitress turned off the music and started turning off the lights. She never mentioned they were ready to close, but we assumed that's what they were doing so we rushed out of there. The gate gate to the exit was locked and we drove around to the other exit.

I’ve been here a few times throughout the years and honestly I’m surprised it’s still open. The location has always felt unsafe but now more than ever. The entire location is surrounded by some jail like gate and it’s an eyesore. Anyway, service was average… not horrible but the server forgot what we ordered 3 times. She had to return to our table 3 times for us to repeat our order. The food was not good at all. Bland with no flavor at all..asked for refills and server had to return to our table twice to remember what drink refills we needed. Towards the end of dinner I asked for 2 boxes and once again, she returned so that I may repeat what I requested… girl I just want my box to go. I’m never coming back and I foresee this restaurant closing soon. Don’t waste your...

Was so disappointed. I really wanted to like this place. Came in for Lunch today. The restaurant was super clean and relaxing. Beautiful bar. The staff was friendly. The housemade Aqua Fresca was delicious. The chips and salsa were good. But my Chicken Enchiladas were no bueno. I was expecting hot, juicy, slow cooked, shredded chicken in the middle. I got warm, dry, diced chicken. Like you'd find in a salad. Im not sure if they make these the day before, or outsource them, or what but they did not taste fresh! 👎🏽 Major let down. I had been looking forward to trying this place. The waitress did not offer to have them remake it, or another entree. Wouldve done way better at that Taco Truck on Normandie...
