" El Pueblo is a hidden gem! The first time I visited, I had the breakfast tacos, and they were phenomenal. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and the flavors are spot on. I also loved the homemade salsas; the roasted salsa really stood out to me. The environment is casual, and the staff are really friendly. One downside was that it can get busy during lunch, so be prepared to wait a bit. I can’t wait to come back and dive into more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't rave enough about El Pueblo! The moment you walk in, the enticing scents draw you to the menu of authentic Mexican dishes. Their carnitas dish stunned me with its rich flavor, and the complimentary tortilla chips were still warm and crispy. The service was on point; our server was attentive and made sure we were satisfied. A little wait during busy hours is expected, and I'd say it’s well worth it. I consider this a must-try for anyone near Rockford! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was told to try the tacos and they did not disappoint. I was very impressed by how fresh the ingredients were. I had the pork al pastor, and the way they seasoned it was mouthwatering. The portion sizes were great and truly priced right! While the waitstaff were friendly, our service faltered a bit with timing on drinks. But overall, the tacos were standout, and I certainly plan to return for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I am thrilled I discovered El Pueblo! From the moment I walked in, I felt at home. The real star of the meal was the menudo; it was rich and flavorful, making it the best I've had in ages. The fries served alongside were crispy and addictive! The service was friendly but could use some additional training to be faster at serving. I already can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I adore El Pueblo! Everything I've tried from their menu has been incredible—especially the breakfast burritos! The ingredients are fresh, and the spices are just right. The decor is charming and the energy is lively. My only suggestion would be for them to have more staff during peak hours since the service gets a bit slow. But overall, a fantastic spot for Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my meal at El Pueblo, but I believe it could use a little upgrade in terms of customer service. The food tasted authentic, and I really enjoyed their steak burrito. It was a great size, though I wish it had more spice. The environment felt relaxed, making it a comfortable place to eat. I'd be willing to return and would recommend it to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was hit or miss - I tried their pasta and enjoyed it but felt the pricing was slightly high for what I received. My friend had the enchiladas, which she said were decent but not worth writing home about. The atmosphere felt quite casual, and the staff were polite but a little slow. I left feeling mixed about the experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)
