" I have mixed feelings about El Mexicano. On one hand, the birria tacos are some of the best I’ve ever tasted, but the service can be hit or miss. During my last visit, my order got messed up, but the staff was very apologetic and fixed it quickly. Overall, I think it’s a solid choice for tasty, authentic fare. Just keep an eye on the service quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had a disappointing meal at El Mexicano. My order took forever, and the tacos had way too much salt. I couldn't even taste the meat. The positive part was the friendly service. However, the food completely overshadowed that. I likely won't return for a while. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had some great experiences at El Mexicano, but my last visit was quite the mixed bag. The food was great, but I had to wait quite a while for the service to acknowledge us. I understand they can get busy, but I think every customer deserves timely attention regardless of how busy a restaurant can be. Otherwise, highly recommend for good food! " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem for authentic Mexican cuisine! Their fresh salsa and homemade tortillas set the stage for an incredible meal. The service was friendly but sometimes slow during dinner rush. Still, the delicious food is worth the wait! I can't wait to try more dishes on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at El Mexicano was mixed. Although the food was delicious and fresh, I found the waitress inattentive and slow. I had to flag her down multiple times. The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice, but the service brought down the overall experience. Nevertheless, I will return for the food but hope for better service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Mexicano impressed me with their carne asada, which was juicy and well-seasoned. The staff went out of their way to ensure my meal was just right. The only downside was that the dining area was a bit cramped. However, the charming atmosphere made up for it, as you could really feel the homey touch throughout the restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Mexicano has disappointed me far too many times. I’ve faced issues with contaminated food and rude service. This restaurant used to be one of my favorites, but I can no longer recommend it. Cleanliness and customer service need major improvements. " (*Curated Review*)
