" Good food, but the wait can sometimes be longer than it should be, especially during lunch rush. I had the pork burrito and found it to be quite filling. It's a nice feature that they offer some tables outside. The staff is very hospitable, and I mostly enjoyed my meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Elio's is a must-try for anyone who loves Mexican food! I was so satisfied with the steak quesadilla, which was packed with gooey cheese and tender steak. They also have an ATM since they only take cash, which is convenient. I'll be a frequent customer from now on for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Elio's has long been a favorite of mine! I can't get enough of their chicken nachos and steak tacos. The quality of the food here is always excellent! Just remember to bring cash since they don't accept cards. I highly recommend this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the tacos were decent, I found the atmosphere to be lacking charm. The food pales in comparison to some other Mexican joints I’ve frequented. It’s a cash-only establishment, which was odd but manageable. However, I wouldn't say it was very memorable overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Elio's Hot Dogs & Mexican Food has some of the best tacos I've tasted! The chicken was juicy, and the seasoning was spot on. I also tried their homemade tamales, which were delicious and quite filling. The only hiccup was when I had to wait for my order a bit longer than expected, but they offered me a complimentary soda, which was nice. I appreciate places that take care of their customers like that. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Elio's based on the reviews, but I was slightly disappointed. The pork tacos I ordered lacked seasoning and tasted a bit bland. The service was quick, and the staff was nice, but the food fell short for me. I may give it another shot in the future, though, since I've heard great things about their tamales. " (*Curated Review*)

" Elio's is a staple for anyone working nearby. The price for the quality of food is unbeatable. I usually go for their carnitas tacos which are always a winner. There’s often a line at lunchtime, but they manage everything efficiently. Would love if they could stay open a little longer in the evenings! " (*Curated Review*)
