" I visited El Centenario on a busy Friday night with a group of friends. The place was bustling, and we had to wait a bit for a table, which was expected. The atmosphere was lively, and we had high hopes based on what we had heard. The food came quickly once we ordered, and everything we tried was delicious! I especially loved the grilled chicken enchiladas. On the downside, the restaurant did get quite loud, making it hard to have conversations, but overall it was a great experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews, I finally made it to El Centenario, and I must admit, I was a bit let down. While the food was decent, it didn’t wow me as expected based on the hype. I tried the molcajete, which had great flavors, though I found it a tad on the heavy side. Service was friendly but a bit slow during our visit, which didn't help. It’s a cozy place, but I think I had higher expectations for a restaurant with such a reputation. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful little gem! This place serves the best carne asada tacos I have ever had. They use fresh ingredients, and you can taste the authenticity in every bite. My friend and I each ordered a different dish and shared, and everything was a hit! The service could not have been better; our waiter was friendly and helped us navigate the menu. I can't wait to come back and try the tamales next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to give El Centenario another try after my last visit, and I am glad I did! The nachos were loaded with toppings, and the flavor profile was on point. We were greeted as soon as we entered, and our server was quick to help us with recommendations. The vibe in the restaurant felt friendly and vibrant. I’ll certainly return! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Centenario is simply one of my local favorites! I absolutely adore their chiles rellenos; they are always cooked to perfection. The prices are very reasonable for the quality they deliver. The service staff is friendly, making it a pleasant place to dine with family and friends. I come here quite often and am never disappointed! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful dining experience overall! The food was vibrant, and there's a wide selection to choose from each time. My friends loved the diferente meats on offer. The margaritas are splendid—refreshing, but be cautious, they pack a punch! The only drawback is the limited parking during peak hours. But hey, it’s worth the trip! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every week, I make it a point to visit El Centenario for their marinated chicken burrito—it never disappoints! The flavor is just right, and I find the prices more than reasonable for the meal you get. The only feedback I have is that service tends to lag the busier it gets. Overall solid experience!
