The first time I ate there I asked if they weren't sure if my abuelita (grandmother) was the cook. This is the closest to real mexican food I have had since I moved here from the Rio Grande Valley. Thanks!    [08 May 2002 13:30:04]

The surprise burrito was the best I have ever tasted. I was really impressed with how friendly our waiter was, very helpful with the menu and made our eating out a real treat. I will be returning to Santa Fe at the end of October and I will definitely be eating here again.    [27 Sep 2003 22:41:50]

Best Breakfast around!
We order the breakfast burritos "to go" for our Friday morning staff meetings. They are the best in the area! When the corporate folks come down, they're always impressed with the food and walk away "stuffed"!
Great Food, Great Value!!!    [29 Sep 2005 10:57:03]

STAY AWAY
This place has gone steadily down hill over the last 2-3 years. The staff is nothing but teenagers who don’t want to be there - they CONSTANTLY screw up orders they do not attend to the "dine in" customers - El Valle closed for about 1 year for undisclosed reasons - I wish they would have stayed closed or sold to people who actually WANTED to run a restaurant - I’ve given them more than enough chances to redeem itself but on average they completely messed up my order at LEAST 5 out of 7 times - one time I called a order in for pick up around 2:30, I showed up only to find out that they closed for the day (early) at 2:40 (I live 5 minutes from the restaurant), the "employee" did not mention that they closed at 3:00 - This place should be shut down, the dinner area smells of sewage, the wait staff is rude and incompetent and the food is over rated, only breakfast was ok there but if they mess up 90% of your orders you cant really say the food is good, you never get to eat what you want.    [10 Jan 2009 20:23:12]
