" If you're looking for a place that serves gigantic portions of authentic Mexican food, look no further! El Gitano hits the mark every time. Their tacos are bursting with flavor, and you can never go wrong with their house salsa. Service is usually prompt and friendly, though there have been a couple of times when it got busy and we waited a bit longer than expected. Overall, still one of my favorite spots. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried El Gitano for the first time and had a favorable experience. The burrito was giant and satisfying, though I would've liked a bit more spice. The servers were quick and polite. The decor has a nice Mexican touch which made it feel authentic enough. All in all a solid choice! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my visit didn't live up to the hype. The ambience was nice, and the staff were polite, but the food was only average. I had high expectations for the enchiladas based on their reputation, but they lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for. The portions were good, but they need to focus on authentic flavors more than just size. Might give it another try, but I’m not sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a big fan of Mexican food, and I’ve tried many places, but El Gitano is definitely one of my top choices. The tacos are excellent, juicy, and packed with authentic flavors that remind me of my trips to Mexico. The only downside was that it was a bit noisy when I went there, but the fantastic food made up for that. Can’t wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Always an enjoyable time at El Gitano! The food is usually excellent, and they never skimp on the portions. The salsa remains my favorite part; it compliments everything on the menu. The atmosphere is perfect for gatherings with family or friends. However, I have noticed slight inconsistencies in quality during different visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had lunch here with friends, and wow, everything was fantastic. The staff was so accommodating, even with special dietary requests, and the food was top-notch. Each dish tasted fresh, and I didn't feel weighed down afterward. I had the vegetarian tamales, and the portion was massive. Full marks all around! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Gitano has been my top choice for Mexican food for years! I appreciate their consistent service and the quality of the food they serve. The combinations they offer are generous and make you feel valued as a customer. You can't go wrong here if you want a satisfying meal. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
