El Ranchero closed its long standing original location earlier this year (now focusing on its New Chicago location), and Valentin Restaurant quickly filled its void. With a fairly empty belly from missing breakfast and not getting to lunch until 1:30, I ordered the burrito dinner for $8.50 ($1.00 more than the burrito alone).



My 1 ¼ lb. steak burrito was filled with beans and cheese. I opted for the deluxe burrito for $1.00 more which added lettuce, tomato, avocado and sour cream. The steak was flavorful and the burrito was very good overall although too much fat and gristle held it back. The pico de gallo and salsa verde were excellent and made me wish I dined in so that I could have enjoyed both salsas with complimentary chips.

Valentin Restaurant is your best bet for a steak burrito if you're in the Harbor. Trimming the steak better and lowering the price (or increasing the burrito's size) would bump Valentin Restaurant into the very good/excellent range. Right now, it's merely good.
