" The food at El Ranchero was good, but I felt it could have been a bit more authentic. The atmosphere is lively and colorful, which I loved. Service was a bit slow, but considering how packed the restaurant was, I can overlook that this time. I plan to return and try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)
