" I had higher expectations based on the reviews. While the burrito tasted decent, it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. The service was friendly, but my order got mixed up, delaying my meal. It was still a good meal overall but not enough to keep me coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Best experience here so far! The atmosphere is casual, and the service is genuine. I loved the huevos rancheros! They are made fresh and reflect the flavors of Mexico, with nice portions too! I'll be recommending El Alto to all my friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered the mixed fajitas expecting something spectacular, but they were a bit underwhelming. Still decent but not enough to write home about. The staff, however, are very accommodating and friendly. I would give them another chance since I saw other customers enjoying their meals. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've had tacos in many places, but El Alto stands out! The flavors are rich and truly authentic. And I can’t get enough of their homemade hot sauce. Don't skip out on the Horchata; it's fantastic! The place might seem simple, but what really shines is the food—their dedication to quality is clear. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was there for a quick bite and got a chicken burrito. The size was impressive, but the chicken was on the dryer side. The flavors were fine, though the service felt hurried. Still, I think I'd try a different dish next time because I've heard good things about their tacos. " (*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*)
