" The chicken torta was good, though I expected more spice. Still, it's one of the better spots for a quick meal in the area. Prices are reasonable, and portions are satisfying. They also have some unique drinks like horchata which I enjoyed. Overall, a decent option for Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great local place for fast and tasty Mexican food. I had the steak tacos, which were very flavorful, but the dining space wasn't very inviting. It's more of a 'get your food and go' vibe. Still, I enjoyed my meal and look forward to trying their other options soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is one of the hidden gems in Queens! The tortas are to die for, especially with their fresh ingredients. The staff is really friendly and helpful, always ready to assist you with your order. Sometimes they get really busy, and the service can slow down, but it's definitely worth the wait. Don't forget to try their Agua de Jamaica, it's refreshing! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly didn't have high expectations, but El Alto blew me away with their genuine Mexican flavors. The tacos were perfectly prepared, and their special sauces really elevate the meal. Can't recommend it enough if you're in the area! The only downside is the lack of ambience, but I go for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed my meal at El Alto, I had some issues with my order. The chicken I received felt a bit undercooked. However, the flavor was exceptional and very authentic. The service was pleasant but not as attentive as I expected. The burritos are gigantic; I could barely finish mine! I would definitely give it another shot, as everyone else seems to love it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited El Alto and was greeted with warm smiles from the staff. The atmosphere felt very homey. I ordered a combo plate with tacos and enjoyed every bite. The flavors truly reminded me of my grandmother's cooking back in Mexico. One downside is the seating; it can get crowded. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this is the place to try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing experience! We stumbled upon El Alto while exploring the area, and I'm so glad we did. The fresh juices are incredible, and the shrimp tacos were heavenly. The pricing is unbelievably reasonable for the amount of food you get. Staff members were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Definitely a must-try. " (*Curated Review*)
