" We had dinner at El Mejor recently and were really impressed with the authenticity of the food. The steak burrito was tender and flavorful, and the salsas served with the chips were out of this world. However, I found the prices a bit high for what we received after we saw the portion sizes. Overall, a great place to enjoy some Mexican vibes in Richmond, but just be mindful of your budget. " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to El Mejor did not live up to the hype. The food was average; nothing particularly stood out to me. The service was okay, but not memorable. I expected a lot more based on some reviews I saw. Perhaps I need to give it another try on a different day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had lunch at El Mejor on a whim after shopping. The buffet was decent but could use a wider variety of options. I opted for the chicken fajitas, which were extremely good, but some items felt a bit stale, especially the sides. While the service was polite, it lacked the promptness I was hoping for. Overall, I would still recommend it to friends looking for a solid meal with a hint of authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at El Mejor is like taking a trip down south! The flavors are bold and distinctively Mexican. Their tacos come with a plethora of delicious toppings, and the portion sizes are just right for sharing. While I adore the food, I think their service can sometimes lag, especially during busy hours, which can lead to long waits for refills. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place for dinner. The buffet has a wonderful selection, and I loved how everything was fresh and delicious. The staff was very welcoming too! I might have gone a little overboard on the food, but everything was just too good to resist! If you're ever in the area, definitely check it out! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant caught my attention because of its unique decor and ambiance. The food was great, but I found certain items like the rice and beans to be lacking flavor. However, the tacos were phenomenal! I think if they improve the taste of the sides, they could be a top-notch Mexican dining spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn’t very impressed with my visit to El Mejor. The food was bland and didn’t seem fresh, which was surprising given all the positive reviews. The waitress was nice, but I felt overlooked at times. I’ve had better Mexican food in other local spots. I might give it another try later, but it was underwhelming this time. " (*Curated Review*)
