" El Arado is my new favorite spot! I was blown away by the flavor of the street tacos — authentic and fresh, every bite was a delight. The service was quick and friendly, making me feel right at home. I loved sitting outside on the patio. The only downside was a small parking issue, but honestly, it was worth the little hassle for such delicious food. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great experience at El Arado! The atmosphere was lively, perfect for a family dinner. I ordered the enchiladas which were bursting with flavor and had a genuinely home-cooked feel. The portion sizes were enormous, so sharing was easy! Our server was a bit slow at times, but overall, it did not overshadow the enjoyable evening we had. I highly recommend this place if you’re craving authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pretty disappointed with my visit to El Arado. The food, while decent, lacked the robust fire of true Mexican cuisine. I had the beef nachos—they were between bland and okay. To make matters worse, the service was not attentive, and I found myself waiting too long for my drink refills. They could really benefit from some training in that department. The atmosphere had potential, but it felt flat due to the service hiccups. " (*Curated Review*)

" Easily one of the best places to get Mexican food in the city! The tacos are killer, a true feast for the senses—I particularly loved the spicy salsa. The servers could be more aware of their tables; we had to signal for our checks which took longer than usual. Still, the food made up for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food itself was alright at El Arado—definitely hit or miss depending on what you order. My husband got the enchiladas and they seemed very bland. I enjoyed the chips and salsa but felt it was overpriced for what you got. Service was decent but not particularly warm. Perhaps a mixed bag overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for El Arado and they mostly lived up to them! The food was hearty and flavorful; I had the beef burrito and it was very filling. The decor is charming, and it feels very inviting. The only downside was the wait for our food, but it was worth it! I would recommend coming in with a group for shared plates! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking for a great place to satisfy my taco cravings, and El Arado did not disappoint! The flavors were authentic and distinctly Mexican, and I felt transported away. My friends loved the drinks too! The environment is casual and fun for group dinners. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone looking for good Mexican food in the area.
