" Let me just say, if you're looking for authentic Mexican eats without a fancy price, El Gigante is the place! The staff is incredibly friendly and the service is quick. The carne asada tacos are a must-try! On my last visit, they even had freshly made horchata that paired perfectly with my meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I didn't love my experience overall. The food was a bit too salty for my taste, and I found both the tacos and tamales somewhat greasy. I tried to talk to the staff about it, but they seemed overwhelmed. I may give it another chance on a less busy day. " (*Curated Review*)

I highly recommend it to all my friends! " (*Curated Review*)
