El Valle Restaurant

We passed this on our first day through Death Valley Junction. It doesn't look like much outside but it had good reviews so we went back the next day. The food was good and everyone was friendly. Appears to be a local favorite.

El Valle was a gem in the desert. We stayed near by while visiting Death Valley National Park. They had great service and an extensive menu. Our food came out hot and pretty quickly. Actually came back for dinner again. If in the area I would recommend trying this place out. Sounds like they have a breakfast I wwish we would have tried.

Decent Mexican food considering theres only 3 restaurants within a 30 minute radius. Large portions and cheap prices. The chicken seemed to be deep fried, so maybe it's not that fresh.

Our group of 13 had a great lunch as we passed through to Death Valley. Very helpful staff and clean bathrooms.

Stopped at this place on our way back from Death Valley National park to Vegas. The food and the staff was very good. I had the two burrito combo and my wife had the Chili Ranello. Both were good taste.

3.5 stars, rounded up for the area. Wet burrito: 2.5/5. The sauce on top tasted like pizza sauce. The rest of the burrito was surprisingly bland, though the adobada was cooked well. With the salsa and consomme from the tacos, as well as some salt and pepper, it was more edible. Side of fries: 3.5/5. These taste like they just came fresh from McDonald's. McDonald's makes awesome fries, when you know that's what you're getting into... Freshly fried, probably not handcut, with (not enough) ketchup packets. Tacos with consomme: 3.5/5. Tacos themselves were solid. The consomme was not as flavorful as I expected. Same with the beans and rice. Complimentary chips and salsa: 4/5. Spicy and satisfying. This restaurant is a champ in the middle of nowhere, attempting to serve a wide audience -- they even have pizza and burgers if that's your jam. I will give them that. (However, I do recommend Ruby a few miles away if you prefer more flavorful Latin food.) The service is warm and courteous. The decorations are memorable. Note: almost all the women, including myself, had a sweater or jacket on, so if you get cold easily, bring something to cover up your skin after wandering in the dry heat all day.

Fantastic food! I had a burrito and rice and beans with a cold beer and the food was delicious. The tortilla shell was delicious and the refried beans were perfect. Very affordable, and the service was excellent. You cannot beat the price too! I will definitely return if I am in the area again - so much better than the food at the casino!!

I love when we find lil gems like this place. Who would imagine you would get such great food from a lil place in the middle of nowhere?!This is one of the few restaurants in the area and they do not disappoint. They were very accommodating to my vegetarian needs and surprised me with the amount of different veggies in my enchilada. Outstanding Mexican food, in a very clean place with a great service. That is all we need to end a long morning of hiking on an over 100 degrees day!
