" I took my family to El Molino, and we had a mixed experience. The kids loved the tacos, but I felt my dish was a bit lacking in flavor. It was affordable, but I hoped for better. Staff was friendly, but they seemed to miss a few requests. Overall, I might give them another try with the kids. " (*Curated Review*)

" Truly authentic flavors! The atmosphere is exactly what I look for in a taco place. A local joint with real character, friendly service, and delicious food. I had the barbacoa tacos and immediately felt like I was transported back to Mexico. This place is definitely worth visiting again. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went last night for a taco craving and wasn’t too impressed with their carnitas tacos. It was on the greasy side and somewhat bland. The service was acceptable, but I would not return for the food alone. I expected more flavor. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to El Molino for many years now, and the quality has never disappointed me. Their carnitas are consistently tender, and the tacos always hit the spot. Each bite is filled with flavor, and the salsa is a perfect match. I always leave with a full belly and a happy heart! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't understand the hype around El Molino. I tried their carne asada tacos and found them to be dry and lacking flavor. Additionally, the service was slow and it seemed like the staff was more interested in chatting among themselves than serving the customers. I won't be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food taste amazing, however, the cleanliness could be improved. Some tables were sticky, and the floor could have used some attention. The service was prompt; I just wish the restaurant was a bit cleaner to fully enjoy the food experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I've heard high praise for their carnitas, my recent visit fell short. I ordered the carnitas tacos and though they were good, I expected more in terms of flavor. The service was somewhat lackluster too; the wait seemed longer than necessary despite the restaurant not being too busy. I hope this was just an off day because I'd love to give them another shot. Fingers crossed for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
