Valerie’s Taco Shop

I probably made a bad choice, but how do you screw up a «two tacos combo meal»? For nearly $ 9 bucks, you get rice, beans, soda and two corn tortillas fried in oil. Soggy and hard, but not crispy. The shredded beef meat was absolutely flavorless. They have a small salsa bar, with 3 salsas, and spicy pickled carrots. The red salsa was empty, and crusty. Obviously it had been sitting out all afternoon. The portions of beans and rice, though tasty, were about the size you’d get in a TV dinner — in fact, that’s the type of partitioned disposable plate the meal was served in. I could have had Marie Callender for $ 2.50 and enjoyed my meal. $ 9 bucks for this crap? I will never go back. I’ve always trusted fellow Unilocal reviewers until now. Really bad experience.

Cali??? Anyone who is/​was a resident would never call it that…“just passing thru” is what it says…;-) just sayin… not any better than «frisco» or «San Fran»…anyways I’m sure this is a fine place, just hope we can get some real reviews! I hope to try Mexican (which can be varied and. Complex, not just your typical tacos etc). Peace be unto you, St. George! Celebrate your Mexican places! :D

I and a friend decided to check out Valerie’s and were very pleased for a first visit. I had the carne asada plate and although it was delicious, pre chopping up the meat in small chunks doesn’t get it for me when a flank cut was expected. Hence the 4 Stars. My friend ordered rolled tacos and raved about the perfect crunch on the outside and the soft inside with the freshest shredded beef. The place is very clean and the service was very good so I recommend Valerie’s to anyone!

Thank you for your response. I would be willing to give your food another try. I have a coworker who has been there twice in the past week and had mentioned that the food is excellent.

Just moved here for school a couple months ago from Southern California. Ive been surrounded by Mexican food and taco shops my whole life. By far Valerie’s reminds me of home. Their food was amazing! I ordered some fish tacos and my friend and boyfriend ordered carne asada fries and a bacon breakfast burrito. By far exceeded my expectations! I know they have locations in california but just never tried it. But I totally wish I did. Also the Horchata was good, the hot sauce is amazing and the service was perfect. Definitely coming here again!

Ok, my friends, Valerie’s is my most favorite place for Breakfast burrito’s. We get the Carne Asada with added potato. So dang yummy. When I lived in Cali., I would rave over breakfast burritos there until I tried Valerie’s. Perfect mix of steak, eggs, cheese, and potato. And I made a special order for the 4^th of July and they were Awesome to work with. Thank you.

We ordered the two beef taco combo. The beef was tender and flavorful. The beans and rice were authentic Mexican, fluffy, tasty and well cooked. Great customer service. The young lady was friendly with a nice smile. Whenever, we travel through St. George, we’ll sure to stop and try some other items on the menu. Maria & Tony.

Got food poisoning. May have been a freak thing. But definitely was from here. Valerie’s taco shop was my only meal of the day as I was drinking Slim Fast for lunch and breakfast.

The carne asada tacos are made with cheap steak and are almost grounded like hamburger meat, a real mexican taco is never like hamburger meat. The bean and cheese burrito was not good, the beans where dry and the cheese was hardly melted. The rice was dry amd bland. Do not eat here! I tried it because of the other reviews, I am from Los Angeles where we have a lot of good mexican food, dont understand how the other reviewers thought this was good.

I saw the five star rating and couldn’t resist. My wife and I were both very disappointed. We found the food to be bland. My beef tacos had very little taste. Her fish taco had very little fish and it was cold. Her chili rellano was very much overcooked. There are a number of places in St. George to get better Mexican food. The positives are that is close to the freeway and the ladies are friendly.

Wow this Valerie s is just like the ones in San Diego, the food is made very well just the right amount of seasoning, they give you a lot of food for your buck. And the service is just as good as the service in California.

We were traveling through St George and read the great reviews for Valeries Taco Shop. The service was awesome however the food was just so so. My first enchilada was cold. The cheese was still in shredded form and the sauce was cold. They quickly made me a new one which was served warm. The rice and beans were too salty however the chicken and beef were seasoned well. The enchilada sauce was unremarkable. It tasted like it came from a can. All in all it was fair. Slightly better than a Taco Bell. Service was very friendly and place was clean. We won’t eat there again.

It’s tough to find a good Mexican Restaurant now these days. I’m visiting Utah for a couple of days and I read on Unilocal about Valerie s Taco Shop and its had great reviews. My wife and I decided to try this place out and it was fast service and the food was really good! We had the Sopes and a Carne Asada Burrito. Definitely coming back before we leave. Do I recommend this place? Yes I do!

Came for lunch with my hubby to this place excellent food great service and coming from Cali where we have great hot salsas this place is good competition had orange hot salsas was made to perfection overall delicious…

Born and raised in San Diego, California. I know my Mexican food. This is good food right here. Customer service was great.

Wow. Nice lunch surprise on a journey through these pretty lands with our 5 year old. This old fast food joint converted to a clean local Mexican eatery is an oasis. I knew I was in for a treat when I had the pickled carrots which were home made and not canned. Sure enough my wife’s enchiladas had a from scratch sauce and the scratch tortilla made my chimichanga a puffy work of art. I was able to get mine with no beans so I know it was assembled just for me. And the asada was quite tasty. 7 bucks. My son’s cheese and asada quesadilla was so stuffed with meat that tasted so good I could not help a second bite. (first was justified by the review: ha!). We are just passing through this time but our next visit to Zion/​Canyonlands will include another stop here.
Ok half way through this (she did not know I was writing this though) she felt bad they were out of churros for my son so she, of her own accord, made some scratch flour crispas with cin and sugar for him as a surprise. Are you kidding? Come here! Ps view out window is quite nice too!

Awesome food! Great Mexican! Great prices!
I stayed the night at a local hotel and came here before heading into Mt. Zion. This place was so good, I stopped back here on the way out of Mt. Zion.
I got a carne asada burrito and a carnitas burritos… great quality! They make it all fresh! They do NOT keep their meat in bins! The burritos run $ 5.25 and they come with guacamole. They also make homemade tortillas… yummy! Good size portion too! And they have their asorted salsa bar.
