Reviews

The wait was 40 minutes, but the reward was well worth it. I tried the brisket and smoked chicken taco, both were very tender, juicy and flavourful. I would definitely come back.


Excellent food! Saw them on a show on Hulu and knew we had to try them while in Austin! Don't miss it. Potato salad is a great side. We had the pulled pork as we were there pretty late in the day and the brisket was all gone!!!


45 minutes of waiting 6 tortillas for 3 pounds of meat cans full of garbage dirty tables the truth dear dears They need to get their batteries and diners need to go out to eat real tacos do not settle for the first educate the palate to enjoy some real TACOS!!

45 minutos de espera 6 tortillas para 3 libras de carne botes llenos de basura mesas sucias la verdad queridos estimados Nesesitan ponerse las pilas y los comensales nesecitan salir a comer verdaderos tacos no se conformen con lo primero eduquen el paladar para disfrutar unos verdaderos TACOS!!


We were ready to try some new BBQ. I had just written a blog post about Austin BBQ, and realized that we had not yet tried Valentina's!

What I didn't realize that this is a food truck service, which was entirely okay. It was just before noon on a Saturday, (July 9) and there was a line, but we got there early enough before the lunch rush. There's an area in the shade of the building next to the food truck, which made waiting somewhat easier in the heat. On the other side of the same building is an enclosed seating area; there are fans, and not necessarily uncomfortable. There is also a covered outside area to sit and eat.

Now about the food: they have "Tex" (sandwich) items and "Mex" (taco) items. (See my pic of the menu) I got the brisket tacos which were quite good - two in an order and filling. The Hubs tried the Chopped Brisket sandwich, to which he gave a thumbs up. I saw several patrons with the chips and queso, so I assume that is a popular favorite.

To keep in mind: The only restrooms are portable toilets in the back of the building, but they do provide a place to wash hands. Also, visiting for an early lunch is probably ideal, so the wait is somewhat shorter in the heat, especially since this is really an outdoor restaurant.


We ordered the chopped brisket and the queso. They were both very delicious. Definitely recommended!


Wow - I rarely ever eat meat and I am so glad I made an exception for Valentinas. Their food is absolutely delicious. From their corn, to the guac and their meat...would definitely come back!


The pork spare ribs were perfectly cooked. BBQ sauce had great flavor. Their brisket tacos are also delicious.


Out of this world. Worth the drive. We'll-run family operation. Tacos were amazing (both brisket and pulled pork). The queso with brisket and guac might have been the best though.


Amazing brisket tacos!! Difficult but worth the 90 minute wait - luckily it was below 100 that day. They really should consider ways to take orders and serve them up faster.


Great, great bbq joint in south Austin. Outside and shaded areas to sit but no inside, so don't expect a/c. Food was great, came out fast, and staff was very sweet.
The potato salad isn't that great but the main attraction is spot on. Well definitely be back to try their breakfast tacos
