The food at Dominican Valle is always consistent. Reminds me of my aunts cooking back home. It doesn’t matter if you go in person or order delivery the food is always delicious. Their prices are comparable to other Dominican restaurants in the area.

It hit all the marks. After walking around the heights for a while, we noticed that this was virtually the only restaurant open on that Sunday morning. From the moment you step in you step in you are greeted with characteristic latino charm, that can probably be intimidating for someone who is not familiar with that style (i.e calling you my love, child, etc) or who feels selfconscious about their Spanish. The ladies behind the counter were extremely patient with me since I was not familiar with the names of the dishes on the buffet, and they took good care of us from that moment on. This is the type of atmosphere and deliciously authentic food we came to the heights for, and I am very happy to have found it. I will come back.

Had lunch here with my Wife as she works in the community and I must tell you that we were treated like royalty! She is a regular for lunch and they made sure that we were both comfortable, and satisfied with our food. Food is fantastic, and it definitely has that Dominican home feeling. You know, when you get to a family members house in the DR and they make sure that you eat and drink! That feeling!! If you're in the area, come on in and enjoy yourself.... BLESSINGS MY PEOPLE!

Absolutely love the Dominican steak sandwich. Staff is very kind. Given that they mainly speak Spanish they are very good at understanding my English, because all the words I know in Spanish are either dirty or vulgar.

I visited with five others for dinner. The food amount exceeds expectations at costs that work. The workers' quick service delivery was noticeable. The serving size-to-price ratio is exceptional. This place provides satisfaction.
