  • Decided to give Valdez a try after hearing that it opened just a week ago. One thing I was glad to hear upon entering was that they actually take reservations. It is unfortunate how many new restaurants have a no reservations policy. I ordered a dark and stormy to start after seeing that they had ginger beer on tap and my friend ordered a pint of beer. His beer came up first in a small glass that looked a bit smaller than a half-pint and was $5. My dark and stormy came shortly after and it was pretty tiny as well and cost $10. We split an order of chips and guac, empanadas and pastel (after the bartenders suggestion) and I ordered the chaufa (duck confit on fried rice). The guac ($8) was very tasty with a nice citrus taste. We ordered extra chips ($4) which made it a higher priced small bowl of guac. The empanadas on the other hand were extremely salty and was probably the worst empanada I've ever had. For $9 you get 3 or 4 small empanadas which is quite high considering it is one of the cheapest eats in spanish countries. The pastel ($6) was a really delicious treat with a nice combo of sweet and salty. The chaufa ($17) was again very salty. The portion size was ok but at $17 for fried rice with a bit of duck I think it is well overpriced. I've had better fried rice on Spadina for much cheaper. The drink list looks great but is on the pricey side and after getting the tiny dark and stormy I wasn't about to pay $10-$15 for a few more sips of a cocktail. After all, it would be gone in seconds due to my mouth needing liquids to wash out the salty taste. I opted for a Negra Modelo beer ($6) which is probably the best value on the list. The bill came to $73.45 for everything. Valdez conclusions: - Staff were all very friendly during the visit. - Prices are too high (I'd rather go to Grand Electric for a much tastier meal) - Food was either way too salty or good, but over priced - Drinks are small so order a bottle of beer - Venue is very nice I will not be returning. The space itself is very nice 2* rating based primarily on the pricing and the food I ate: "Meh. I've experienced better."
