" El Tres was a delightful experience from start to finish! The colorful decor and lively atmosphere instantly set a great mood for our dinner. I ordered the carne asada tacos, and they were bursting with flavor; the meat was tender, and the corn tortillas were fresh. Our server, Nick, provided great recommendations and made sure our drinks were topped off. One of the best places I've visited in Thunder Bay, I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to El Tres, and I was very impressed! The ambiance is beautiful with a true Mexican aesthetic, which sets the stage for the meal. I ordered the shrimp tacos which were seasoned perfectly with a great balance of spice. My server was very attentive, making sure everything was to my liking. I will definitely be coming back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tres impressed me with their wonderful service and vibrant atmosphere! I went there last month and had the shrimp tacos. They were generous and hit the spot. I really appreciated how our server took the time to explain the different dishes, making our dining experience more enjoyable. I definitely plan to return for their famous margaritas next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner at El Tres the other night. The atmosphere was lovely, filled with vibrant colors and sounds of great music. I enjoyed the nachos but found the portion quite small for the price. The service was helpful, and my server provided good recommendations. I would re-evaluate my order next time and see if I can find something else that might suit my taste better. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tres was a great dining option for us! The environment is vibrant and lively, making it a fun place to enjoy a meal. We ordered a variety of items on the menu, from tacos to churros, and we enjoyed all of them—especially the tacos. Everything was packed with flavor, and the cocktails were refreshing. Service was excellent, and I would definitely recommend this place to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tres delivers an amazing dining experience! I visited with friends last week, and we shared a combination of their tacos and a pitcher of their fantastic margaritas. The taco selection was great; each one had its own distinct flavor. Our server was personable and attentive, making recommendations, and we felt right at home. The only complaint I have would be about the noise level on a busy night. Will definitely return for another round! " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my family to El Tres based on friends' recommendations and was delighted by the overall experience. The décor was beautiful and created a festive atmosphere. The food was very delicious, especially the fish tacos. Our server was welcoming and knowledgeable, which made selecting items from the menu easy. Looking forward to our next visit!
