We had to ask them to turn on the music because it was super silente and awkward. The best dish was the caprese flor de calabaza. The first appetizer was good too but the rib eye was cooked rare and looked purple colored and tasted kind of fake, would not recommend. The pasta was good but the tagliatelle was under cooked because the pasta was hard. The cheese wheel pasta was good too. Other than that the tiramisu was really good, as well as as the crème brûlée! Everyone was nice and the service was great.

The space is clean and well laid out, with a relaxed yet lively vibe that suits both casual dinners and special outings. It's energetic without being noisy, so you can actually enjoy conversations while taking in the atmosphere. The lighting and overall setup create a welcoming environment that encourages you to take your time and enjoy the experience. Whether you're dining with friends, family, or on a date, the setting strikes a great balance between laid‑back and upscale. The food matched the atmosphere perfectly. The big T‑bone steak was impressive--generously sized, juicy, and full of flavor. The hamburger was solid, and the chile relleno was delicious and well prepared. The staff added to the positive experience, friendly and attentive without hovering, making sure everything flowed smoothly from start to finish. Great ambiance, excellent food, and good service make Valle 13 a place worth returning to.

The setting is really nice and makes for a great dining experience overall. That said, visitors should be aware that gratuity is automatically added/up charged, (if they see your not a local) which was not clearly communicated upfront. Transparency around pricing would go a long way in improving the experience. With clearer billing practices, this place could easily be a higher-rated destination.

Came here on a whim after looking at local wineries immediately where we had just gone wine…read moretasting, and I have to say that this was one of the best and more personal wine tasting I've ever had in the Valle de Guadalupe. The professionalism and charisma of the lady who took care of us was exceptional and we cannot commend how great of an experience it was from the moment we arrived to the moment we departed. Because it was the day after Christmas and off-season, it wasn't busy in general for most of the wineries, so coming here was quite the treat because we nearly had the entire terrace to ourselves for the majority of our time there. The pairings consisted of mostly white ones with one of the white wines tasting like a red wine (close your eyes). She did an amazing job of explaining the stories and context behind each wine and the owner and his impressions of everything. We also got a charcuterie board that had probably some of the most fresh and tastiest cheese I've ever had. The two different breads with the olive oil really hit the spot. I was so amazed from this place giving its more rural location and that it is hidden. Please note that we paid a decent amount here. I think after the wine tastings for the both of us and the charcuterie board plus the purchasing of 3 or 4 bottles, the total was about $150 USD. Worth every penny! I'd definitely recommend this spot to others

The empanadas de borrego were my favorite, especially with all the dips and sauces they provided. You could taste all the spices and fresh ingredients.

The place was so cute, a more upscale establishment compared to the smaller mom and pop shops in the surrounding area. Definitely stop by and check them out.

Those two dishes were so good. It made us wonder how much better the rest of the meal was. Well the rest of the meal was excellent. Between the 5 of us we had: Eggplant dish. It was perfect for the person who had it as the slices of eggplant were fried without being coated in flour (she has Celiac's) The fish of the day. It was perfectly cooked The spaghetti with tomatoes and shrimp. The taste was even better than the beautiful presentation I forget what the other two had, but I can tell you that they both stopped just short of licking their plates. We were too full for dessert. The waitress then brought out some home made "cellos". The was a choice of mandarincello, pistachiocello and chocolatecello 4 of us did the mandarin and the 5th did the chocolate. The Mandarin reminded me of something I had in Portugal a few years ago. I got to taste the chocolate one and it tasted like a sinfully decadent chocolate ice cream. The service is EXCELLENT, and the staff is bilingual.
