" I recently tried El Forastero and had high expectations. The food was decent but not as authentic as I had hoped. The carne asada was a little bland compared to what I’m used to. Service was okay - not very attentive. Overall, I think there are better options out there for Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Forastero was a bit of a mixed bag for me. While the tacos were delicious and obviously made with fresh ingredients, the service was a tad slow during my visit. Still, the flavors reminded me of authentic street tacos, which I appreciated. Worth giving it a try. " (*Curated Review*)

" The service was excellent, but the food could use some improvement. My burrito was massive, which was great, but it was lacking in flavor. I think I would try one of the other types of dishes next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is excellent! I ordered the enchiladas and they were packed with flavor. The only drawback I experienced was a long wait, but the end result was worth it. If you're looking for real Mexican food, don't skip this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stellar service at El Forastero! The waitstaff went above and beyond to accommodate us. The chips and salsa were fresh and a great way to start. However, the main dish could have used more seasoning. I will come back but maybe try a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not a fan. The food didn't live up to the hype surrounding this place. My order came with a side of rice that was overcooked. The whole experience felt rushed and unsatisfying, although the staff were polite. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience! The ambiance is warm and inviting, with lots of colors. My favorite dish has to be the chicken nachos, which are saucy and topped with cheese. Portion sizes are generous, making it a perfect place for gatherings! " (*Curated Review*)
