" Honestly, I didn’t expect much from this place given its casual appearance, but the food blew me away! The tacos were authentically Mexican and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a delight, especially with the varied options from their salsa bar. The only downside was the wait, as it was pretty packed during dinner time, but I can see why! Total value for the price; I walked away happy and full. I’ll definitely be coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited El Lago while exploring the Lake Lure area. The salsa bar was fabulous, offering many unique salsas that were bursting with flavor! The service was nice, but a little slow. I ordered the chiles rellenos. They were decent but could have used more seasoning. Overall, I enjoyed my meal, and I’ll be back to try other items on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

The waitstaff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. I will certainly come back to try more from their extensive menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I coveted this place after hearing great things. The meal was very good and the staff was friendly and accommodating. I had the pork tacos which were tasty, paired with a refreshing salsa. The only negative I can point out is the lingering wait time for our meals. However, the flavors certainly made up for that lapse. Will return for another visit! " (*Curated Review*)
