The server was prompt and attentive. My husband had the nightly special - taco bar ($15 All you can eat). I had the walleye bites and fried cheese balls ($16) off the menu. I really enjoyed my meal. Husband was satisfied with his. We have an all you can eat tacos back in KC that is just hard to top. The owner stopped by and chatted us up and I noticed he visited each table and thanked everyone for coming in. I always appreciate that. I'd go back if we get by this way again.

The building has a modern steel exterior and a modern hunting cabin like interior with a concrete floor (see pictures). Service was prompt and there was a reasonable selection on the buffet line (scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs with veggies and cheese, bacon, sausages, potatoes, biscuits & gravy, pancakes and french toast sticks). The scrambled eggs were very good and the potatoes were good, but they were out after we went through and were not replenished. The sausages were plentiful and the bacon was thick, hearty and smokey. Overall, this was a solid, above average buffet with good service at a good value ($12.99 + coffee / beverage). Other than a desire that they be a bit more attentive to the quantity of food in the pans and replenishing as required, my main disappointment was that black plastic forks were the only eating utensils available. Given the available foods, metal knives wouldn't be necessary - but having metal forks would be appreciated. If you found this review helpful, please show your appreciation with a Like or a Follow.

It was STUFFED with fajita style meats (chicken & steak) and also had chorizo, ham, and bacon. It was so filling and the flavors were delicious! I told my husband we had to stop by on the drive back. On the drive back, we got to speak to the owner and she was so kind and welcoming. She told us that she just took over the property and is so happy that we chose to stop in again. She mentioned that they were still new and had a smaller menu, but asked if I would like to try a "chefs choice" entree. When I tell you-these special Gorditas were OUT OF THIS WORLD! Do not just write this off as a roadside taco shop, this place is the real deal! I will be making sure all future road trips that pass even within an hour of Valley City will have a dedicated stop at El Valle!

The steak comes with the salad bar and your choice of potato. The salad bar was pretty good with a lot of choices. The potato not bad as well. But, that ribeye really hit a home run for me! It's one of the best I've had in South Dakota! You guys really know what you're doing when it comes to steaks. The atmosphere is pretty neat but tired looking. The outside overlooks miles and miles farmland. Very beautiful indeed. Thank you for offering such a wonderful experience. Staff are so nice and professional!
