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. If you have a sweet tooth, I recommend the habichuela con dulce or the tres leche. If you’re looking for a really good meal, I recommend the Mofongo. 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!

Basic Dominican restaurant. Very good service and the food is great and affordable. Wish they had a in-house hot sauce vs just packets
