" Had a delightful lunch at El 123! Pretty good service, and the ambiance was on point. My only qualm would be with the pad thai being overcooked, which made it mushy rather than having that classic touch. Overall, I still enjoyed the visit and will consider coming back to explore more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love El 123 based on the reviews, but it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The staff were indeed super friendly, but the dishes felt too sweet and lacked depth. The aesthetics are fantastic, so I think it has potential. If they could revamp their flavors a bit, I’d be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" El 123 is a vibrant fusion restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere! I’ve been here twice now and enjoyed my meals each time. Don’t miss their refreshing cocktails! The staff is always courteous and efficient. While the main dishes can be on the sweeter side, the creativity shines through especially in their desserts. Will certainly return for another enjoyable evening! " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem in the heart of Mexico City! The moment I walked in, I was greeted by warm colors and a lively atmosphere. The pad thai was flavorful, though a touch sweeter than traditional recipes. Still, it was delightful! The service was quick and friendly. Overall, a must-visit! I will definitely come back with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on the reviews, but my experience was hit or miss. The decor is fantastic, and the vibe is chill, making it a great space to enjoy a meal. However, my pad see ew was overly sweet and somewhat lackluster. On the other hand, the spring rolls were delightful. I appreciate the effort to represent Thai food, but there’s definitely room for improvement in authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family had a great time at El 123 for dinner! The kids loved the pad thai, although they mentioned it was a bit too sweet for their taste. I enjoyed my chicken curry, which had lovely flavors but wasn't very spicy. The ambiance is perfect for families with its playful yet elegant vibe. Overall, we had a good experience but would love a touch more spice! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're craving fusion cuisine, look no further! I was skeptical at first, having tried numerous Thai places, but El 123 has a unique charm. The lamb dish I ordered was tender and perfectly seasoned. The staff was attentive but not intrusive. However, I found the portion sizes a bit small for the price. The interior ambiance is vibrant and makes for a comfortable dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)
