    Tacos rice and beans
    Jesse L.

    So, my wife and I have driven by this place numerous times and finally stopped in for taco Tuesday this evening. Great ambiance complimentary chips and salsa came out right away and were hot and delicious. Our waitress took our order and brought our drinks out fast. It was not much longer before 6 gourmet tacos and a very large portion of rice and beans were at our table. The tacos couldn't have been better and the refried beans were some of the best we have had. Our only regret is that we had not tried this spot sooner. Definitely going to be regulars here.

    We had to support El Valle on cinco de Mayo week during covid. We ordered a variety of items for a family of 6. When we pulled up our order was brought curbside. The staff was friendly and our orders were accurate and labeled! We made a couple of substitutions so this was an added bonus. We got a couple of combinations, fajitas, a steak and chicken dish. It was good standard Mexican food. We even got the chips and salsa. Everyone enjoyed their food!

    Came here for a lunch during the work week. They were semi busy but we were sat quickly. Our drink orders, chips and salsa came out swiftly. The salsa was a bit on the spicy side All of us really enjoyed our food and the service was pretty quick. We will come back to try more of their lunch specials!

    Hard to review this one since the food isn't bad. Its good but to be honest for what you get and the quality. The price doesn't match it. So expect to get something that taste good but for the amount and all, not worth the price.

    Really liked the El Valle in Matthews so when I saw that they had opened a Mint Hill location, I was anxious to try it. Nothing negative about the interior decor but the ambient temperature was too hot. Waiter took our drink order, I asked what the WiFi password was and he didn't know. They do have 4 Mexican beers on draft but don't offer a 32 oz. and the 22oz. was overpriced. Chips were okay. Salsa was generic. Asked for a spicier salsa and a cheese dip. Both came later than expected. Choripollo was surprisingly bland and the mocohete as well. Mexican food should not be bland. Worst of all was the flies. Gotta get rid of the flies.

    I really enjoyed the food at El Valle! It's your typical Mexican Restaurant in terms of menu items - love having combo options, and the prices are all very reasonable. Check out the lunch menu for very cheap options as well! The guacamole was some of the best I've ever had, it took a little bit to come out - but it was so fresh you could tell the time put into it was to ensure the quality. 10/10 would order this again. There is a full bar with drink specials during the week, the sangria margarita was really tasty.

    My favorite Mexican restaurant in Charlotte. The shrimp soup is amazing, bursting with flavor. Friendly, attentive staff.

    My friends took me here for a belated birthday celebration. How lucky! Everything was on point…read more I wish there was a Steak 48 in Atlanta (home). We started with cocktails. I had the stone fruit drink and it was so good. We had chicken fried lobster and rock island calamari and shrimp. It was all perfection. There was a waygu special that I had to try. We had mushrooms, au gratin potatoes, and corn crème brûlée as our sides. We have already looked up copy cat recipes for the corn crème brûlée. I need to have this over and over again. For dessert the table split the red velvet bread pudding (we were stuffed) and I immediately started searching for copy cat recipes for that. It was decadent. Service was impeccable. The restaurant was elegant and dark and romantic inside. This place is a must if you are looking for fine dining in Charlotte.

He was incredibly attentive, professional, knowledgeable, and warm, and made us feel so well taken care of throughout the entire meal. We were there celebrating a special my 11 year old nephew - not your average clientele- and Courtney helped make the night feel genuinely memorable. The service was exceptional without ever feeling intrusive, and every detail was handled perfectly. Between the outstanding food, beautiful atmosphere, and Courtney's wonderful service, it was truly a five-star experience. We can't wait to come back!

The restaurant was very clean and the noise volume low enough to where we could visit and comfortably carry on conversations. Our waiter was gracious and helped us to catch up with the rest of our party. We ordered a bottle of Pinot Nior and Dinner while the rest of our party finished their appetizers and salads. I ordered the steak frites and it was just wonderful! My boyfriend ordered the special which was halibut, asparagus, and mushroom risotto. Everything was perfect! The couple that was seated across from us split the special. The kitchen didn't hesitate to split this dish for them in the kitchen before bringing it out to our table. This is just excellent customer service! They are an elderly couple and could not possibly have eaten the entire meal by themselves. Our waiter was very attentive and nobody at the table ever had an empty glass. Also, your plate was cleared the moment that you finished with your meal. This was our first visit, but definitely not the last. Thank you for making our evening out with family and friends so very special. We will definitely be back in the near future.

The other, lettuce (never have seen that in a Maine lobster roll) and aioli). The one with butter had a nice brioche roll but most of the lobster was small claw ends vs nice chunks. The one on lettuce was better, more larger pieces of lobster, but meat was put onto a lot of lettuce to prop it up. It takes some effort, but buying a live lobster and cooking oneself is really the best way. I was hopeful- but ultimately disappointed.

    Fresh Chef was such a pleasant little discovery! It has a warm, comfortable atmosphere, and after…read moreseeing the full menu, I now know this is much more than a cute breakfast spot. They serve lunch and dinner, too--and that dinner menu was talking to me! When I try a restaurant for the first time, I usually start with something simple. It is a little like dating the restaurant: before I commit to the whole menu, let me see how you handle the basics. If you can make simple food well, then I begin to trust you. I relax. I get curious. Then, before you know it, I'm falling in love and planning our next date! Fresh Chef made a very good first impression. The eggs were fluffy and cooked to perfection. The sourdough toast was toasted just right, with a beautifully balanced flavor that didn't overpower the rest of the plate. But those breakfast potatoes? Baby, they were the star! Crispy and golden on the outside, tender enough to melt in your mouth on the inside. I added onions and bell peppers, and next time I'll ask for extra because they belonged together. Let those onions and peppers come on out and join the party! The bacon was a good-quality cut--not thin, cheap, or pretending to be pork. As a genuine pork lover, I appreciate that. The coffee was good, too. My waiter was exceptional. I didn't catch the young man's name, but he made sure I had everything I needed while still giving me room to enjoy my breakfast. He was warm, attentive, and perfectly timed without hovering. That kind of service deserves to be recognized. Then I noticed the manager wearing a shirt from my favorite team. Well, that certainly didn't hurt the courtship! Roll Tide! Fresh Chef and I have had our first date, and I must say--it went very well. Now I need to return for dinner and see whether this little breakfast flirtation turns into a full-blown love affair. With a menu featuring steaks, seafood, pasta, ribs, shrimp and grits, and more, I am hopeful that this relationship has a future! Auntie D's rating: Five out of five forks!
