    Tacos adobada con todo. (This is the Al pastor rub used on beef instead of pork). With onions and guacamole.

    We had the Tacos adobada con todo. (This is the Al pastor rub used on beef instead of pork). With onions and guacamole. Simply delectable, meat was. Juicy and full of flavor and the tortillas are freshly made. The service was amazing. you order, eat and then pay afterwards ( honor system when paying for your order so remember it ). Welcoming and inviting environment.

    Yum. They are open late, which is awesome. They only have adobada tacos and asada, the adobada was amazing and spicy. My husband is a huge critic of Mexican food (he's from Durango) and he loved them, he won't shut up about the tacos even into this morning. Edit: we came back again today. Stupid good.

    Service was great. They only have two different types of meat. Carne asada and al pastor. Both are prepared very well and are tasty.

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.

You can sit outside of the weather is nice. They have little hangers to hang your purses next to your tables. They will split the bill if you have a large party. Just tell them when ordering. Their hot coffee was $65 pesos and it comes with free refills. I just got the fruit platter and the bread with coffee. The fruits were fresh and they also provide honey as well to eat with the cottage cheese. They also gave us a small complimentary plate of fruits so I just had extra. If you order the bread, you might get different varieties but they were all good. They were on the sweet side, just fyi. Overall, great experience with wonderful staff.

The setting alone is worth the visit wide open views, rustic-modern design, and so many photo worthy spots you'll find yourself snapping pictures all throughout your visit.

Th ecachete is packed with flavor and cooked perfectly, and the pulpo is hands down one of the best I've had tender, smoky, and seasoned just right. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared and elevated without losing that Baja charm. The drinks also deserve a shoutout great mixed drinks that are refreshing, well-balanced, and perfect to sip while taking in the views.
