" Regularly visit El Arriero, and it never disappoints! The staff is always real friendly. I can’t get over how authentic the food tastes.

" El Arriero is such a delightful restaurant! I’ve been there multiple times, and every experience has been wonderful. The ambiance is perfect for a cozy meal or a celebratory dinner. I especially enjoy their shrimp fajitas—they’re sizzling hot and packed with flavor. The staff is always so welcoming, and they genuinely seem enthusiastic about the food they serve. If you haven’t tried their margaritas, you’re missing out—they’re phenomenal. I look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Arriero has quickly become one of my top favorite dining spots! The menu has a vast selection, and everything is made from such fresh ingredients, it's hard to believe you’re not in Mexico. I particularly loved trying the shrimp tacos—they were flavorful and came in generous portions. However, I wish the service was a little quicker; it was quite busy when I went. Still, the quality of food more than makes up for it. Can't wait for a chance to revisit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Arriero for the first time last weekend, and I was blown away by the authenticity of the dishes. The chicken enchiladas were packed with flavor, and the tortillas felt like they were made right in the kitchen, which they apparently were! The atmosphere was vibrant but cozy, making it a perfect spot for a casual family dinner. Our server was attentive and made some excellent recommendations too. I can’t wait to go back and try more from the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews, I decided to check out El Arriero, and it did not disappoint! The salsa served with the chips was fresh and had the perfect kick. I ordered the carne asada, and the flavor was spot on—a fantastic representation of traditional Mexican food. The atmosphere was lively, albeit a bit noisy, which added to the dining experience. I will absolutely be returning, maybe with a larger group to try even more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
