" Went in after a long day, and the cozy atmosphere was delightful. The barbacoa took me back to my childhood - full of rich flavors and warmth. The only drawback was the size of the place which felt a bit tight. Staff were generally friendly, but with the crowd, they seemed to stretch thin. Overall, I would definitely recommend giving this place a shot while also keeping an eye out on some street parking. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes when I visited El Borrego De Oro based on what I heard, but unfortunately, my experience was less than stellar. While the barbacoa served was decent in taste, it lacked the depth I was expecting. Furthermore, the service was quite rushed. The staff seemed overwhelmed and not very welcoming, which dampened the experience. I could tell they were busy, but some friendly service would have made a world of difference. I might give it another shot someday, especially since I hear many rave about the authenticity, but I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my thoughts on this little treasure. El Borrego De Oro is the light of the dining scene in this area! The freshness of their ingredients is simply refreshing. When I bit into the lamb taco, I felt a wave of flavors that genuinely transported me back to the streets of Mexico. My only minor complaint was the seating; I’d love it if they had a bit more room for diners. Nevertheless, they are dedicated to serving great food, and it shows! Up there among my top recommendations! " (*Curated Review*)

" The barbacoa is out of this world! Best I’ve had outside of Mexico, and I'd extremely recommend everyone to try it. It’s savory and so flavorful, you won't disappoint. I also loved the freshly made tortillas; they truly make a difference. The only thing is the interior is quite simple and could use a vibrant touch, but the flavors totally make up for any minor flaws. I’ll be dreaming about this meal for days! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, perfect for a casual meal. I had the carne asada, and while it was good, it felt like it was missing a bit of seasoning. The service was attentive but could use a tiny bit of polish. Overall, a solid experience. Probably would not rush back unless in the mood for Mexican fare. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Borrego De Oro is an absolute hit for anyone who craves authentic Mexican cuisine. From the moment you walk in, you are hit with the aroma of freshly made tortillas and spices. I had the barbacoa and it was by far one of the best I've tasted in a long time. The service was excellent, quick without feeling rushed. I will definitely be back over and over again! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Borrego De Oro has some great things going for it, especially the flavor of their dishes. The barbacoa was solid, but I personally found it slightly on the oily side. The tortillas are indeed fantastic, but the service experience could use improvement. The employees seemed overwhelmed, which affected overall service quality, but the food was genuinely tasty. It's a true hidden gem in the strip mall. " (*Curated Review*)
