For taco lovers, the variety here is exceptional.

Vegan and vegetarian diners will appreciate standouts like the Cauliflower Tacos that promise bold, satisfying flavors without compromise.
El Valle’s brunch offerings elevate the weekend ritual with dishes that tantalize from the first bite. The Tropical Tres Leches French Toast – with its luscious milk-soaked brioche, cayenne candied bacon, and Chantilly cream – is an absolute must-try, weaving sweet, spicy, and creamy notes into each forkful. Another highlight, the Mole de Ajo Negro, presents a luxurious braised short rib bathed in a black garlic mole that’s complex and deeply comforting. Light bites like the Smoked Salmon Tostada pair beautifully with expertly crafted cocktails, including a selection of specialty margaritas and Bloody Marys that are as flavorful as they are artfully prepared.
When it comes to dessert, El Valle dazzles with creations that feel both innovative and rooted in tradition. The Figgy Sticky Toffee Pudding, drizzled with whiskey butter sauce and balanced with cocoa-spiced pecans and vanilla ice cream, delivers a warm, indulgent finale. For something lighter yet indulgent, the Horchata Panna Cotta surprises with its silky texture paired with tart hibiscus syrup and fresh berries, while the playful Deconstructed Mexican S’more invites you to savor churro puffs, housemade marshmallow, and chocolate mousse in an irresistible ensemble.
Atmospherically, El Valle strikes a perfect balance—its sleek, modern design infused with warm lighting and smooth background music creates an upscale, welcoming vibe that perfectly suits both intimate dinners and lively gatherings.

This is my hands down favorite restaurant in Atlanta. I frequent here at least twice a month. Brunch is AMAZING. You need to get the French toast, chicken chilaquiles, or the chicken and waffles. Other things you NEED to try: Anything on the happy hour menu. Birria tacos never fail me. The guacamole is fresh and delicious. Their corn soup is creamy and flavorful. Mac & cheese is 10/10. Any of their drinks… Get Sticky fig pudding for dessert!
This is one of my new favorite happy hours. Its daily from 4-6pm. We tried so many items (the slider, wings, ribs, macaroni, corn pudding, taco). Our favorites were definitely the wings and the corn pudding. The portions were really good for a happy hour and we had plenty of food leftover. Emma made great margaritas so We'll definitely be back on the weekend when they have the dj.
Pulled up here for my birthday and it did not disappoint. Super sleek, modern vibe with warm lighting and soft background music — no shouting over the table, just chill energy. Food was on point, dessert slapped, and the service was genuinely attentive without hovering. Not crowded or chaotic, just a smooth, elevated experience. Big win for a birthday spot.
Good food, i probably should have tried thw fish instead of the cauliflower tacos but the waitress didnt really help me choose between the fish dishes so i ended up going with the cauliflower tacos, which were ok. Nice vibe, i really liked the restaurant, my partner loved his food, we will probably be back.
I had an incredible experience at El Valley Kitchen and Bar in Atlanta. I ordered the dry-aged ribeye and it was cooked to absolute perfection — easily one of the best steaks I’ve had in the city. The drinks were also made beautifully, well-balanced and full of flavor. On top of that, the music created a great atmosphere throughout the night. After 11, the space transforms into a dance floor with amazing energy and vibes, making it the perfect spot to transition from dinner to nightlife. Highly recommend if you’re looking for both excellent food and a fun night out!
Excellent place to eat. The food is tasty, and the service is great. It’s also very spacious. They have promotions if you sit at the bar. I recommend the corn cream, chicken tacos, ceviche, and the pork tenderloin. Everything was very good. The music was nice too. A great concept for an authentic Mexican restaurant, with good food and music you enjoy. The only thing that wasn’t good was the steamed rice, which had no flavor.
Stopped in for a quick bite while in the area sightseeing. It was around lunchtime on a Tuesday so it was not crowded at all. I loved the decor which looked warm and upscale and the vibe was very chill. My waitress was very friendly and efficient. I ordered the Bonita y Mentirosa cocktail which was quite nice and the Pulpo a las brasas (grilled octopus) which was very tasty. The dish was supposed to include a plantain side but was served with artichoke instead, which I didn’t care for. Would like to return for dinner.
Tried this spot for a brunch before a matinee at Fox. What a treat! We will be back for sure. We had the carne asada chilaquiles and pollo tacos. Both dishes were amazing. Service was great also!
