" Had dinner at El Arado last week. I ordered the mole chicken and it was absolutely divine! The flavors were rich and authentic, just like the dishes I had while traveling in Mexico. The service was great too; my server checked on me several times without being intrusive. What a treasure of a restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Arado stands out for its commitment to authentic flavors! Their tacos al pastor took me straight back to Mexico. The service was friendly, but we had to wait quite a while for our food. The atmosphere feels very family-friendly and casual. I appreciate the effort they put into everything, but I hope they can speed up the service a little. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Arado is their go-to for authentic Mexican cuisine. The salsa is always fresh and the tacos al pastor hit the spot! It’s a busy spot, but the lively feel of the restaurant makes for a fun experience even when it gets bustling. " (*Curated Review*)

" The taco Tuesday special is a must-try at El Arado! You can’t beat the value for the quality of food you receive. I was impressed with the portions and the flavors were spot on. The ambiance wasn't too noisy, making it easy to converse. However, the wait for service could use improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried El Arado with friends, expecting the usual buzz. While the food was decent, I found it to be more mainstream than authentic. The guacamole lacked that fresh, vibrant taste typically found in traditional Mexican cuisine. Service was amicable, but we kept having to wave down our server for refills. I might return, but I wish they’d step up their game on food authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

I loved how they served unlimited chips and salsa too! Truly a memorable day thanks to their attentive service. Can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time we visit, El Arado’s food brings joy. They have the best shrimp ceviche I've tasted, and it’s consistently fresh. The atmosphere is lively, which makes it an excellent spot for friends or family gatherings. Always leave satisfied! " (*Curated Review*)
