" Fantastic meal at El Real yesterday! I indulged in their three-way burrito, and it was hands down amazing. The flavors were rich and the ingredients fresh. The service was excellent, as they took care of us without hovering. Can’t wait to go back and explore more from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a birthday dinner here last week, and we had a wonderful time! The staff went above and beyond to make the night special. The food was flavorful and fresh, but the highlight was definitely the staff's energy. They even sang a birthday song for me! I highly recommend El Real for both special occasions and casual dining alike. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family has been coming to El Real for years! It's a tradition, and we have never been disappointed. The food is consistently fresh, and the staff remembers our favorite orders. This time I had the carnitas, and they were excellent! The restaurant has a family-like atmosphere that you don’t find everywhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Real is a mixed bag for me. While the staff were friendly and the service was decent, the food left much to be desired. I ordered the fajitas, expecting them to be sizzling and flavorful, but they were quite bland. The chips and salsa were good though! It's a nice place for a casual night out, but I might try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing experience at El Real! The service was prompt, and the food was delicious. My favorite was the shrimp fajitas, which were packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The staff really knows how to make you feel welcome and valued. Highly recommend making this your go-to Mexican spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Don't understand the hype around El Real. While the staff was accommodating, my tacos were bland. I’ve been to plenty of Mexican restaurants that do it better. However, I can't deny the restaurant's overall vibe was welcoming, and the drinks were enjoyable. Just too reliant on atmosphere and not enough on food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried many Mexican restaurants, and I would put El Real in my top five! Their salsa is a total game-changer—fresh and just robust enough to complement the dishes perfectly. I ordered their signature burrito, and it was packed with flavor and generous portions. It's great to see a restaurant delivering such quality consistently. A must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)
