" I’m a huge fan of Mexican cuisine and was really excited to try El Salto. While the atmosphere was lively and fun, I was a little disappointed with the food. I ordered the enchiladas, and although they were tasty, they didn’t have that homemade taste I expected—I felt they were mass-produced. The service was alright, just typical. All in all, it was decent, but I might seek out more authentic options elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me say, El Salto was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a while! The flavors in their food are phenomenal. I ordered the cheese quesadilla, and it was so cheesy and satisfying. The service was quick and friendly, and I got my food almost immediately. The atmosphere feels lively, and I loved the music. I’ll be coming back for more soon! " (*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*)

" I recently celebrated my birthday at El Salto and it was a fantastic choice. The staff treated us like family, making sure everything was perfect. The food was lovely, particularly the tacos. They have a range of flavors and spice levels that you can choose from. However, we had a long wait, even for drinks, which was a bit irritating. Other than that, it was a special night, and I would definitely recommend it for celebrations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough about how much I enjoy El Salto! It's become my favorite place to grab dinner on a weekday after work. I usually opt for their burritos, which are loaded and delightful. Not only is the food amazing, but the staff is always friendly and welcoming. However, I did notice the past couple of times my burrito didn't have as much filling as before, which was a bit disappointing. Still, I'd give it a strong recommendation. " (*Curated Review*)

" The last time I went to El Salto, I was amazed by their level of service. Our waiter was extremely attentive, checking in with us frequently and making sure we had everything we needed. The guacamole, which we tried as an appetizer, was some of the best I’ve had in a long time! For my main dish, I ordered the steak tacos, which were packed with flavor. Overall, a great dining experience that I would enthusiastically recommend. " (*Curated Review*)
