" I went for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the taste. The pork carnitas were cooked beautifully, but I wish they’d offered more options on the menu. The service was on par, though it did feel a bit rushed. Still, I'll be back to try other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Favorite place for a quick bite! Their chicken torta is perfect with just the right amount of cheese. The ambiance is casual and laid-back—perfect for a lunch break. I also enjoy their guacamole, which is always fresh and tasty. It’s great that they are now available on DoorDash too! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been wanting to try Elma’s for ages, and I finally got around to it! The service was really nice, but I felt the food didn't match the hype. The flavors were okay, but not as authentic as I hoped. The atmosphere was casual, which I liked. " (*Curated Review*)
