" While I appreciate the trendy decor and ambiance, my experience at Centro fell flat in terms of food. I tried the enchiladas, expecting a burst of flavor, but they were just average. Great place for drinks but might skip the meals next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for quality Mexican food that feels authentic, Centro is the place to go! I had the mole poblano, and it was absolutely mouth-watering. The rich flavors and the perfect balance of spice are a testament to real Mexican cooking. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, making it a great spot for a date night. Plus, the service was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. " (*Curated Review*)

" Centro is a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic Mexican experience in Raleigh! The tacos were incredible, loaded with fresh ingredients. Drink selection is also impressive. The staff made us feel welcomed, and the overall atmosphere is so lively. Highly recommend this spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved our experience at Centro! We went for lunch on a beautiful Saturday and sat on the patio. The burritos were gigantic, stuffed to the brim with fresh ingredients. The staff was attentive, and we never had to wait for anything. Plus, their margaritas are divine! I'm definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Centro is an okay spot for Mexican food. The vibe is lively and fun, but I find the flavors sometimes a bit lacking in authenticity. I tried the tacos and while they were decent, they didn't blow me away. The service was friendly but a bit slower than I would have liked. Overall, a nice place to enjoy with friends, but I expected more from the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Centro during a busy hour, and surprisingly, the service was brisk and attentive. I had the chicken enchiladas and found them to be delicious, though a bit on the small side. The atmosphere was eclectic and casual, making it a pleasant place to dine. I left feeling satisfied, but the portion size could deter me from returning too frequently. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our dinner at Centro was fantastic! I had the carne asada, which was tender and flavorful. The service was prompt, and we enjoyed our cocktails. It was a bit noisy since it was a Saturday night; otherwise, I would rate the atmosphere higher. Overall, a great spot for a fun dinner with friends! " (*Curated Review*)
