" I had the pleasure of dining at El Salto last week and was thoroughly impressed! The tacos were fresh, vibrant, and rich in flavor. I particularly loved the shrimp tacos—they had the perfect kick! The service was incredibly attentive; our waitress ensured we had everything we needed without being intrusive. The decor also adds to the charm of the place, making it a great spot for both casual and special occasions. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I think El Salto could be better. The atmosphere is vibrant, and it definitely has potential to be a great dining experience, but the food didn’t wow me. I tried their shrimp coctail and found it lacking in flavor. My friends enjoyed their meals, but mine was just okay. The service was pretty standard, nothing remarkable. I might give it another chance, but it wasn't what I expected. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Salto has a cozy atmosphere that I really enjoy, but I was disappointed with my last meal. The carne asada was tough and overcooked, and I had high hopes for it. On the other hand, the chips and salsa were delightful. The drinks were good, and our server was attentive. I’ll definitely give them another try, but I’ll stick to their appetizers next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Salto has turned into my local go-to place for good Mexican food. The variety on the menu is impressive, and I appreciate their take on traditional recipes. I particularly enjoy their tacos al pastor, full of flavor. Their margaritas are strong and delicious, and the service is almost always on point. For anyone in the area craving some good Mexican food, I highly recommend El Salto! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about El Salto, I decided to take my family there for dinner. Honestly, I was underwhelmed. Some dishes were well-prepared, particularly the flautas, but the chicken I ordered was overcooked and dry. It felt like the kitchen was rushed that night. On the bright side, our server was friendly and helpful. They did a solid job handling our large table. I might visit again to give them another chance, hoping for better food next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My last experience at El Salto fell short of my expectations. While the ambiance was family-friendly, the wait for food was excessive, and when it finally arrived, it was lukewarm. My enchiladas lacked the vibrant flavors I look for in Mexican cuisine. The staff, while apologetic, didn't seem overly concerned with our discomfort. It was a long night; I’m not sure I’ll return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my favorite Mexican restaurant! The food is consistently amazing, particularly the carne asada—so tender and flavorful. The service is generally fantastic; they are attentive and respectful. I dare say their margaritas are the best around too! It's definitely a bit busy on weekends, so plan ahead. But if you're looking for a good time with authentic food, El Salto is your spot! " (*Curated Review*)
