" I’m not a big Mexican food fan, but El Peron has changed my perspective. The chicken enchiladas were incredibly flavorful, and I could taste the freshness in every bite. The service was top-notch; the staff was attentive without being overwhelming. I love the small-town feel of the place; it feels like a hidden gem. I'll be coming back for sure, especially after hearing so many great things about their tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stepped into El Peron today, and I was instantly drawn by the delightful aromas wafting through the air. I ordered the posole, and it was absolutely packed with flavors and spices. The warm hospitality from the owners added to the experience, making this visit truly enjoyable. The only downside was that I wanted to order everything after looking at the extensive menu! I’ll certainly be back to try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had lunch at El Peron, and it was delightful! The variety of hot sauces they offer is impressive, and each one has a unique flavor profile that enhances the meal. I tried the veggie tacos, and they were vibrant and fresh, paired with great guacamole. The service was quick, which was perfect for my lunch break. They have a cozy vibe that encourages customers to relax and enjoy their meals. I highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for El Peron based on past reviews but left feeling a bit disappointed. While the staff was friendly and accommodating, the food didn't quite match the expectations of authenticity. My enchiladas were decent but lacked that homemade touch I had anticipated. However, the ambiance was pleasant and the prices were fair. I might return to try other dishes, but my first experience left me underwhelmed. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Peron has this authentic charm that keeps drawing me back. I love dining here with friends for the vibrant conversations and excellent food. The carne asada is my favorite – grilled to perfection, and the freshness of the ingredients makes a noticeable difference. The atmosphere was lively, and I appreciate the owners' warmth and passion for their food. If you're unsure what to order, don’t hesitate; anything you choose will leave you feeling pleased!

" I stumbled upon El Peron while exploring Norwalk and was pleasantly surprised! The menu had an extensive array of options, and the staff took their time to explain everything, which I appreciated. I opted for the chicken fajitas, which were served sizzling hot and flavorful. I also tried their horchata, and it was incredibly refreshing! Overall, everything about the place screamed authenticity. The owners are genuinely passionate about their food, and it shows. I’ll definitely revisit to sample more from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t say enough good things about El Peron! Their service was prompt and the server was very knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered the tamales, and they were mouthwatering – stuffed with tender pork and topped with green salsa like a dream. Although the dining space is small, the cozy vibe made up for it. And if you’re unsure about what to try, their chicken burrito is always a hit with those who stop by. I left feeling satisfied and eager to return for more culinary delights! " (*Curated Review*)
