" I have mixed feelings about El Favorito. The salsa bar has great selection, but I was a bit disappointed with my shrimp burrito—it was small and lacked seasoning. The service was decent, though a bit chaotic at times. The environment overall was nice, but I found it much too loud. Maybe I hit it on an off-day? I will try it again since I've heard such great things about it. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Favorito has its high points, but I found my last visit a bit disappointing. I wanted to love the chicken enchiladas, but they tasted like they were pre-made and lacked flavor. However, I did enjoy the side of rice, which had the right amount of seasoning. The service was cordial, but it could be quicker. There’s potential in this place, but I think the food needs some improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Favorito is a solid option for a quick bite of Mexican food. The tacos were decent but felt a bit basic compared to what I've had in other places. The service was friendly though, and the ambiance was perfect for a casual outing with friends. I may consider it again, but I’m looking for something with a bit more flavor and excitement next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to El Favorito after hearing rave reviews from friends. I ordered the super burrito and it was massive! However, I was a bit let down because the flavors didn’t stand out as much as I expected. The guacamole was good but the salsa just felt lackluster compared to other places. The ambiance was casual but nothing special. I might give them another chance to try a different item, but wasn’t overly impressed this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is generally decent; however, my last visit left something to be desired. I ordered the fish tacos which were quite bland and not very authentic. My friends had different dishes and loved them, but I felt let down. The atmosphere was lively, but the service was a little slow, and I had to remind the waiter about my drink. I’ll consider coming back to try something else, but I don’t know if I’d specifically recommend it just yet. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I had a decent first experience at El Favorito. The food was good, but not as authentic as I had hoped. I tried the veggie burrito, and while it was tasty, it lacked the fresh ingredients I'm used to from other places. The atmosphere was nice, but it felt a bit cramped during peak hours. The service was friendly, though not very attentive. I might return to give it a second shot to explore more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I expected a top-notch Mexican food experience, my visit to El Favorito was disappointing. The carne asada I had was bland, and the burrito fell flat in flavor. It was also smaller than I anticipated for the price I paid. I must say, the salsa bar had potential, but the options were underwhelming and contained way too many spicy options for someone who prefers milder choices. The staff was friendly, but I don’t think I’ll be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
