" I often hear about El Mexicano, and I have to say it lives up to its reputation! The ambiance had a vibrant flair, and the food was consistently delicious. I had the mole and it was packed with flavor which made every bite enjoyable. The service was decent; just a minor delay in getting our orders but nothing unbearable. Overall, I highly recommend it!

" I visited El Mexicano last night and was left a bit underwhelmed. While the ambiance was cozy and inviting, there was a noticeable lag in service that put a damper on the experience. My meal was decent, but it lacked the robust flavors I'd expect from such a highly-rated place. The tacos were rather bland compared to what I had hoped for. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally made it to El Mexicano after hearing rave reviews. The atmosphere was inviting and true to its Mexican roots, with lots of vibrant colors. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed in the service; it took quite a while to be acknowledged. The food was great once it arrived, particularly the enchiladas! Would try again.

" This place is a treasure! The decor is colorful and represents the culture beautifully. I ordered the fajitas, and they were sizzling hot, right out of the kitchen. They were packed with flavor, and it was a generous serving. Service was friendly but could have been quicker, especially during peak dinner hours. I’ll definitely be back for the authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Mexicano has solidified its spot as one of my favorite restaurants! The authenticity of their food is unmatched in this area. I had the tamales and they were done just right, with robust flavors that reminded me of home. Service was a bit slow as the restaurant filled up, but that’s understandable during busy times. Overall, a delightful place to dine. " (*Curated Review*)

Everyone on staff was super friendly, and they provided great service even during busy times. I’m already planning my next visit with friends. Don’t miss out on this awesome spot!

" I was visiting Sanford and heard good things about El Mexicano. When I finally went, I was amazed at the level of authenticity in the food. I had the pozole, and it was like a warm hug on a chilly day. The service was personable and prompt, which made me feel welcome. I’ll be dreaming of those flavors long after my visit!
