El Valle is one of two local Mexican restaurants that we frequent for a casual meal (the other being Salsa's at Sardis Rd. N).
It is your typical Ameri-Mexican fare, but with affordable prices and an incredible staff. They are very nice here - aside from one very interesting birthday celebration involving a napkin full of whipped cream in the birthday girl's face (?!?!?!) - which we'll just forget. I like to pretend it was a cultural difference, or some sort of flirting. ;)
The food is solidly good and the margaritas are always perfect. The atmosphere is VERY casual.
Thanks to Hugo in particular who always makes our time there entertaining!
