" After hearing so much hype about this restaurant, I finally paid a visit and I am glad I did! The ambiance is lively, and the service was quick and friendly. I ordered the carne guisada plate with beans and rice, and I was thrilled with the generous portions – enough for a solid lunch, and then some! The flavor was authentic, packed with spices, and the beans were just perfectly cooked. One minor downside was that it was a bit crowded which made parking a pain, but I guess that's just a testament to how popular this place is. If you're in the mood for some hearty Mexican grub, this is a prime spot! I am already planning my next trip to try their breakfast tacos. " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh wow, Peter El Norteño has everything I look for in a Mexican restaurant! The chorizo breakfast tacos were perfection – not too greasy but packed with flavor. I've tried quite a few places that claim to serve authentic food, but this place really nails it. The portion was large enough to keep me satisfied throughout the day. Plus, I loved the friendly atmosphere! My only complaint was the limited space for parking, which made it a bit tricky. However, I think I’ll keep coming back for the delicious food and excellent service! This has become my go-to spot for good Mexican eats! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Peter El Norteño last weekend, and let me tell you, it was an experience! Starting from the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere was cozy, and the staff welcomed us with warm smiles. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, and they were divine! The green sauce was bursting with flavor, and the tortillas were soft and fresh. My friend got the tacos de asada and was equally impressed. We both agreed that the authenticity of the food was truly top-notch! The prices are very reasonable too, which makes it even better. I’ll definitely be returning to try their lunch specials soon. Highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone who loves authentic Mexican food! Lunch specials are incredibly priced, ranging from $3.99 to $5.99, making it the perfect spot for a quick bite that fills you up without breaking the bank. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food that reminds me of family gatherings when I was a child! I can’t rave enough about the enchiladas and the homemade tortillas at Peter El Norteño! The food was authentic and bursting with flavor, truly hitting all the right notes. The service was friendly and prompt, and I appreciate how the staff makes you feel right at home. The only downside is the limited parking, but for such amazing food, I’d take a few laps around the block. This will surely become one of my cherished spots to enjoy great meals over and over again.

" Oh my goodness! I'm absolutely in love with this place! The food is to die for! I mean, from the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat. I sat down to watch the hustle and bustle of the kitchen while I waited for my order, and I could smell the amazing spices wafting through the air. I tried the huevos rancheros and they were flawless, with perfectly cooked eggs on top of some hearty tortillas. The homemade salsa that came on the side? Pure heaven! Not to mention, the attentive service made my dining experience even better. You can't beat those prices, either! I walked out of there completely satisfied and stuffed for under $10. I took my husband back the very next week, and he was equally impressed with his order of enchiladas. The love they pour into their cooking really shows. Can't wait to go there every week! This is my new favorite spot for comfort food! " (*Curated Review*)

" So impressed with Peter El Norteño! The menu had so many enticing options and I felt a sense of responsibility to try as many items as I could! I went for the beef fajitas for my main dish, and they were juicy and full of flavor. They also had a delightful seasoning! The sides were all fresh and added to my overall satisfaction. The wait staff were great – friendly and attentive without being overbearing. I must mention, however, that parking can be a hassle, especially during lunch hours, but I assure you that the taste of the food is worth the hunt for a place to park. Can't wait for my next visit – I’ll definitely be back for their breakfast specials next! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Peter El Norteño with my family last Sunday and we had a wonderful time. The service was promptly attentive, and we felt welcomed from the start. Everyone loved their meals! I ordered the enchiladas with a spicy verde sauce - excellent choice with a perfect balance of heat! The meals are sizable, and honestly, we had difficulties finishing everything on our plates. The vibe is nice, casual and family-friendly, but be prepared for a bit of a wait during lunch hour due to its popularity. I highly recommend checking this place out for some great authentic Mexican fare at reasonable prices! " (*Curated Review*)
