    Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start. Remember Contra on NES, where you frantically -yet carefully- mashed these buttons at the title screen in order to get 30 lives? (Yes?) Well, today, I wish I entered some sort of life code, so I could've eaten more of Valerie Taqueria's tacos. The space is small, painted with some bright colors, and has a a simple (yet robust) menu hanging to the left chillin' next to a large statue of Mother Mary. No tables exist, so if you're not taking your food to go, you'll have to put your rump at the counter seating by the windows. Okay, that's nice. What about the food? For my late lunch, I ordered four tacos total (two al pastor and two carnitas) and a horchata: Al pastor: Slightly overcooked (and not as juicy) than other places that make great al pastor; however, it's still delicious, and it's packed with a lot of chili powder. (Just how I like it.) Carnitas: Unlike other places that slow cook and pull apart the pork shoulder, Valerie's lightly grills it. Even though it's a bit chewier, it has a tasty slight char and still plenty succulent. *Note: They'll ask if you want green or red sauce with your meal. I haven't had the red, but the green provides that extra kick for those that like their food spicy. (I'm looking at you, BK. J.) Horchata: Sweet, cold, and refreshing - pretty standard. And that's a good thing. Price: More affordable than other taquerias without compromising taste. Service: Although very nice, it was incredibly slow. Even though I was the third customer there, I didn't get my food for about fifteen or twenty minutes later. One person that came after me even got his food before mine. I didn't put in a huge order, so I don't think that's acceptable. Nonetheless, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and not count it against them. Overall, I would definitely return. Great food for a great price.

    I went to Valerie's for the first time today and got the Lengua Platillo. Quite good and plenty to eat. It included a good portion of rice and beans (not runny), more than some of the places on Lake St. Both sauces are good. The green is good and spicy. I look forward to going back.

    I moved to the neighborhood a couple months ago and Valerie's is my go-to place! The ladies working there are super great and the food is DELICIOUS. Seriously. This is where I bring my friends whenever they come over. I've tried most of their tacos, my favorites being Al Pastor and Salted Beef Steak, as well as their Al Pastor burrito. If you're a guacamole snob, theirs may not come up to par with your expectations; its too liquidy for my taste, and it's very spicy (admittedly, I have a low spice tolerance). The chips they serve are great - they seem freshly fried in-house. And their tamales! Mmm... If you're looking for authentic, delicious tacos (or tamales), this is the place to go!

    Valerie's Carniceria on Nicollet and 32nd, has been a local grocery store for some time. Right around the corner is a small mostly take-out place called Valerie's Taqueria. A wide selection of Mexican meats in a wide selection of authentic styles. Many items come with a hot pepper which is very spicy!

    Valerie's has some of the best, if not THE best tacos in the Twin Cities. A perfect lunch spot, Valerie's pastor, asada, and chorizo tacos are my go-to lunch at least one a week. Don't miss out on this gem!

    Bare bones taqueria that is the real deal for authentic Mexican. Located in the back of the butcher shop, Valerie's Taqueria is stripped down and no nonsense inside. Just bar style seating overlooking a backyard and 32nd St. The service was very friendly and prompt, and the tacos were a short wait. I had some chicken tacos, and my main homie Amanda had the barbacoa. Both were very tasty. This place also has buche, cecina, lengua and tripas tacos, so it's legit. Come to enjoy some great authentic Mexican food. Don't come for atmosphere or in a date.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
