" I’m a big fan of Mexican cuisine, and El Borrego De Oro has been on my list for a while. I ordered their lamb barbacoa, which came highly recommended, and I wasn’t let down. The meat was succulent and well-seasoned, but I felt like the portion size was a bit less than I expected, especially for the price. However, the authentic taste made up for it! The ambiance was lively, but I noticed the service tended to lag during peak hours. Overall, a good experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve eaten at various Mexican restaurants, but the barbacoa at El Borrego De Oro reigns supreme! The authentic flavors remind me of my grandmother’s cooking, which is a rare find. The consome was rich and savory, and the ambience felt welcoming. However, the server seemed inexperienced, which led to a longer wait for my order. Regardless, I’ll keep coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for El Borrego De Oro, given the buzzing reputation, but my experience was mixed at best. The barbacoa I tried was a bit dry, which was surprising considering the hype. I did enjoy the homemade tortillas, but I expected more from the beans and consome that accompanied my meal. The service staff seemed overwhelmed; it took longer than necessary to get my order taken. I might give it another shot, but I’ll have to manage expectations next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great atmosphere here! The food was amazing, especially the barbacoa, but we faced a couple of service issues. Our drinks took a while to arrive, and we had to remind our server a few times for our check. The food made up for it though! Overall, a good dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" This lamb barbacoa is what dreams are made of! It feels like a trip down memory lane every time I take a bite. I've been here multiple times, and they never disappoint. The only downside is that it can get too crowded during dinner time, so be prepared for a busy atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Very happy with my experience! I went with a large group, and everyone loved the barbacoa. The servings were ample, and the consome was so good! Although it was packed, the waitstaff did their best to manage on a busy night. I can't wait to return for more delicious meals like this! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've always been a fan of authentic Mexican cuisine, and El Borrego De Oro didn't shy away from that expectation. Their barbacoa is hands down one of the best I’ve ever had! It had just the right amount of seasoning and was accompanied by fresh homemade tortillas. The staff was friendly but there were moments when I had to wave to get attention. All in all, a great spot for a casual meal. I will recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)
