" This is a quaint little spot that offers an authentic dining experience. The food is prepared with care, and you can taste the quality of ingredients used, particularly in their mole. Very comforting flavors that remind me of home! Our server was sweet, and although the restaurant was busy, she made sure we had everything we needed. The only downside was the size of my portion, which left me craving just a bit more. Overall, an experience worth having! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ate at EK Valley recently and couldn't have been happier with my experience. The community feel in the restaurant was comforting. I ordered the shrimp fajitas and came pleasantly surprised by how they tasted. They had a fresh, flavorful twist that I loved. The service was attentive, but I expected a bit more from the portions. Overall, definitely one of the better Mexican food spots around! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a sweet little spot! EK Valley’s tacos were absolutely fabulous. Each bite was packed with flavors that harmonized perfectly. I enjoyed their unique beverages, too—try the cucumber lemonade! The service was friendly, but the wait time could have been quicker. Portion sizes on the smaller side but the quality completely compensates for that. Such a lovely experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" When we stirred up the craving for Mexican food, EK Valley came to mind. We loved every bit of it! The ambiance adds to the deliciousness of the food. I ordered a tlayuda, which was a good portion, crispy and complemented by fresh salsa. The mole was remarkable! The only reason I can't give it five stars is due to the length of time we waited to receive our food—though they apologized for it. Will definitely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I fell in love with EK Valley! The moment you walk in, you get a sense of the family vibe from its Oaxacan influences. I particularly enjoyed the shrimp tacos, crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside. I had a bit of a wait for my food, but I cherished the time to absorb the ambiance. The service was friendly, and they gave me recommendations based on my preferences. Highly recommend trying their mole, it’s something else! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me start off by saying how beautiful the ambience is! EK Valley captures the soul of Oaxacan food. I was amazed by the quality of the mole; it was creamy and rich. I indulged in some of the best mole I’ve ever had. However, I did find the portion slightly less than satisfying for the price point. The service was impeccable, attentive without being overbearing. I’m already planning my return to try out even more of their offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, EK Valley exceeded my expectations! The moment I stepped in, the colorful decor and warm atmosphere welcomed me. I ordered the black mole, and it was simply divine—rich in flavor and perfectly paired with tender chicken. My dining companion loved the shrimp tacos as well. The only downside was a slight delay in receiving our drinks, but the staff was attentive overall. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
