" I visited El Salto for lunch and was impressed by how quickly they served my meal! The vibe is upbeat, and the color scheme is lovely. I decided on their special taco platter and enjoyed the flavor profiles they offered. The only criticism I'd give is that one of my tacos was a bit soggy, which was disappointing. But overall, a solid experience, and I would return! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my visit to El Salto for dinner, I was greeted with a charming ambiance and friendly service. My meal, however, was sadly just okay. I ordered the carne asada, and while it was cooked right, it failed to impress in flavor. The rice was decent, and the beans were fine as well. They have an impressive coctail menu which made up for it slightly, but I expected bolder flavors from a restaurant known for its Mexican dishes. A friendly reminder to staff to step up their game in the kitchen would be appreciated! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Salto was recommended to me by a friend, and I was not disappointed! The vibe of the restaurant feels just like you'd imagine a Mexican fiesta. The tacos were full of flavor, and I particularly loved the carne asada. They had a great selection of homemade salsas, all of which were delicious. The margaritas were also refreshing but a bit sweet for my taste. Service was prompt, and our server was very knowledgeable about the menu, which made choosing our meals easier. I'll definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the atmosphere at El Salto is delightful with its colorful decor, I must admit that my meal fell flat. I ordered the mole enchiladas, and they were lukewarm and lacked the robust flavors I associate with Mexican cuisine. The tortilla was soggy, which further detracted from the experience. I can appreciate the friendly service, as our server was attentive, but I can't overlook the quality of the food. For a place that touts itself as serving authentic dishes, I expected much more. Perhaps others have had better experiences than I did, but I likely won’t return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve visited El Salto numerous times over the past few years, and each experience just gets better and better! Their burritos are huge and stuffed to the brim with fresh ingredients that truly evoke the spirit of Mexican cuisine. The staff is consistently friendly, and the restaurant is well-kept. My only complaint is that occasionally, the wait on food can stretch a bit long during peak hours, but the quality makes it worth it every time! Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Salto is a fun place with delicious food. My favorite here is definitely their quesadilla with guacamole on the side. The only adjustment I'd recommend is for them to work on the consistency of their service. On some occasions, I've had to wait longer for drinks. However, the food never disappoints, always fresh, and flavorsome. Great for family gatherings or casual dinners with friends. I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've tried El Salto a few times now, and while the atmosphere is consistently vibrant, some of the dishes can be hit or miss. The tacos I had during my last visit were great, but the mole sauce left much to be desired—more like a dull gravy. I appreciate the friendly staff and the prompt service, however. I'm torn because I want to love this place based on the ambiance and service but have yet to find a dish that truly blows me away. I will keep trying, as I'm optimistic about future visits!
