Reviews for Valenca in Elizabeth, NJ
One of my very few 5 star reviews. Everything was perfect. Service, food, atmosphere. Even the parking was tolerable (valet for... tips only). The lamb was delicious! Expect to spend some money ($225+ for 4). Read more

My flight home from Newark was canceled so I had the afternoon free to indulge in the most beautiful lunch guided by the expert... bar staff at Valenca. The kind and knowledgeable bartender walked me through all the classics and didn't bat an eye when Iordered half the appetizer menu because I couldn't pick just one thing. The food was incredible and the staff generouslyaccommodated my prolonged stay as I avoided the chaos of the airport. 10/10 would recommend. Read more
Well everyone this restaurant is by far a diamond in the rough of the American jungle of fast junk food (cancer). This... beautiful environment has brought me to believe again. My taxi shuttle driver told me to order from them. Absolutely deliciousas I smiled from earlier to ear. The first day I ordered cod meat pies also I ordered ribs beef ribs and grilled chickensauteed at that a beautiful house salad fresh rolls housemaid 6 l of water imported then on my second day. I just rememberedthat I didn't get my chicken wings they gave that to me and no charge so I ordered an extra order of chicken wings and a secondday of carrot cake which I had a sirloin steak medium weld pickled vegetables that were amazing extremely amazing and roastedpotatoes that were extremely amazing as well let me tell you it was an affair to remember it felt like a relationship thatshould never end. So treat yourself to this beautiful restaurant take out or eat in and the staff was amazing beautiful overthe phone the second time around apologetic also the delivery people extremely humble extremely caring it just made you want tohug these people do yourself some justice and spend some serious money at this business is Portuguese and I've never hadPortuguese food God bless these people. I will be more adventurous from now on ?????? Read more
Absolutely enjoyed the food here. Make reservations!!! Service was good but I could tell they definitely were overwhelmed... because they were jammed packed. Ordered an appetizer and never received it and had 2 waiters come to take our orders. It took awhile to get the food but when we did it was amazing and tbh we didn’t mind the wait because drinks were amazing and it wasdate night so we were enjoying each other’s company. Will definitely be back Read more
Food and service was excellent. We ordered a bunch of appetizers that were delicious. I ordered the boneless rib eye which was... cooked to a perfect medium, nice and juicy. My other guess had twin stuffed lobster tails, stuffed salmon and stuffedflounder. Crab meat stuffing was good but definitely needs more crab meat. I would definitely go back. Read more
This place never disappoints. Large menu but they know what to do with it. Everything is always delicious. Prices are where they... need to be to provide quality food like that. Had chilean Seabass and family had the the codfish Mayo. I always stop in when intown. Lunch or dinner you can't go wrong. They have a separate spot for take out only and they have really good sangria. Read more
