" Restaurante EL D.F. offers a true taste of Mexico! I relished their chile relleno, and was pleasantly surprised by how authentic it tasted. The only issue was slight miscommunication with the wait staff. Aside from that, it provided a memorable dining experience that I’ll cherish! " (*Curated Review*)

" El D.F. has quickly become my favorite spot in town. Their quesadillas are packed with flavor and are not your typical Tex-Mex. It's also a great place to bring the family, with a kids menu that even my pickiest eater enjoyed. The only downside was the wait time for food, but it was still worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic place for Mexican food! The atmosphere was vibrant, and the food was deliciously spicy. I ordered the huarache, and it was one of the best I've tried. Unfortunately, the wait for our food was longer than expected, but still worth it in the end! " (*Curated Review*)

" Highly impressed with the authenticity of the food! I had the sopes and was very happy with their freshness and flavor. Though our order took a bit longer than expected, the wait staff was friendly and seemed to care. Would recommend to anyone who wants to experience authentic Mexican! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a rather mixed experience here. The food was delightful, especially the chilaquiles, but service left something to be desired. We had to wait longer for our drinks and refills than I would have liked. Nonetheless, the lively atmosphere and authentic vibe made it an outing worth remembering. I might give it another chance, hoping for a better service experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Restaurante EL D.F. encapsulates what I believe to be the essence of real Mexican cooking! Every dish I tried was authentic and flavorful. The mole was particularly memorable! The only downside was the long wait for a table; the restaurant is quite popular! Worth every minute! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was excellent, and the portions were generous. The ambiance was festive, and the music added a lovely touch to our dining experience. However, we had to wait quite a while for our food to arrive, which was disappointing. Regardless, it didn't greatly affect our overall pleasant time! " (*Curated Review*)
