" I recently tried El Mexicano and had a mixed experience. The chips and salsa were delicious; the salsa had a nice kick to it. However, my main dish, the carne asada burrito, was a bit bland, lacking the robust flavors I was hoping for. The staff was friendly and attentive, but I couldn't shake the feeling that my meal could have been better. I'm tempted to go back since I've heard so many good things, perhaps I'll give their enchiladas a try. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Mexicano really brings a taste of home to Willits. The flavors remind me of my grandmother's cooking, especially their chile rellenos that are made fresh every day. I also loved their fresh salsa and the homemade chips. The ambiance is cozy, and the staff are friendly and attentive. It's a great place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. I've been here multiple times, and each visit has been consistently delightful. " (*Curated Review*)

" My lunch at El Mexicano was enjoyable; the portions were large and well-priced. However, I found the food breaded rather than authentic, especially comparing it to some other places I’ve been to. The service was quick and friendly, and they made great suggestions. I would love a more traditional approach to flavors next time, but I can't say I disliked my meal. I might try another dish on my next trip. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has lived in Mexico, I have to say that El Mexicano offers a unique take on traditional dishes. The food is flavorful, but it leans more towards Tex-Mex in style. The ambiance is lovely, decorated with authentic Mexican art and colors, which adds to the dining experience. Service is usually attentive, but there have been a couple of occasions where I felt rushed. Overall, a solid option if you're looking for good food and a vibrant atmosphere! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have always loved coming to El Mexicano over the years! However, my latest experience wasn’t as good. I found the food to be unseasoned, especially the beans, which were overly bland. Leaving me slightly disappointed. The service was warm and inviting; I appreciate how they always go the extra mile. Maybe I just caught them on an off day; I plan on returning for another shot!

" I was a bit skeptical about trying El Mexicano at first, but I have to say it blew my expectations away! The tacos were not only delicious but SUPER filling. The portions were generous, and the prices were very affordable. The vibrant decor perfectly matched the rich flavors of the dishes. My friends and I had the best time there and shared many laughs over a tasty meal. Can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited El Mexicano after hearing so much about it. The hype is real! Service was excellent, quick, and friendly. The nachos we ordered were massive and enjoyable, loaded with toppings. However, I was not a fan of the enchiladas I tried; they felt a bit dry and lacked flavor. I’d give it another go to sample more dishes since everyone raves about it! Overall a good experience.
