" I decided to visit El Jarrito with some friends after reading about the generous portions and tasty food. I ordered the steak nachos, which were incredible! The chips were crisp, and the portion was more than enough to share. The only downside was that the service could have been a bit quicker, as we had to flag down our waiter a couple of times. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and will likely return. " (*Curated Review*)

I appreciate the customizable options similar to Chipotle, which allows for a truly personalized meal. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good Mexican food.

" Overall, my first visit to El Jarrito was a pleasant surprise. I tried the steak nachos, which were loaded and flavorful. The staff was welcoming, but I noticed a few hiccups in service as they were busy attending to other customers. Regardless, I enjoyed the food and appreciate the quality and quantity provided. I'd happily come back to explore the rest of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! Every time I'm in Ruston, I make a stop here. The tacos are incredibly authentic, and they have the best salsa I've tasted outside of California! The staff has always been friendly, and the dining area is clean and welcoming. On my last visit, I brought my family, and they enjoyed the food just as much as I do. Their margaritas are also a great addition to the meal! I can't recommend El Jarrito enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited El Jarrito for a quick lunch and was surprised by how quickly my order was taken. I had the veggie bowl, which was full of flavor, though I wished they offered more toppings. The service was decent, but there were some miscommunication issues. I felt the atmosphere was quite busy but still enjoyable. Overall, it was a solid meal, but I would like to see improvements in the service department. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had high hopes after hearing many good things about El Jarrito. Unfortunately, my experience was underwhelming. The service was slow, and my burrito wasn’t wrapped very well, leading to a messy meal. While the flavor was decent, I expected more authenticity based on what I had heard. I might give it another chance, but I'm not in a hurry to return based on this visit. " (*Curated Review*)
