“ Great and amazing place, highly recommend eating here. El valle is a homely and authentic Dominican restaurant serving up some of the best dishes from Latin America.

They place had a great aura, the service was very welcoming and polite and the food was amazing. I will definitely be returning here. Gracias por la comida del Valle! ”
“ On a scale from 1-5, delivery time, the food & service are usually a 4. However, there’s 1 cook that loves salt! A tragedy lead me to buy food from here for a whole 2 weeks & as you can see the lasagna has no cheese & more over its so salty its sour. I usually order a whole chicken or a fried boneless chicken combo & only 1 of those whole chickens was seasoned to perfection. The rest were salty or coated heavily in seasoning. However, they are following social distancing laws. ”
