" I had the Carne Asada fries and while the fries were a bit soggy by the time they got to me, the flavor was on point! The cheese was melty and rich. I do recommend not getting takeout for this dish, as they lose that perfect fry crunch. However, the service was very efficient, and my takeout was ready quickly. I can't wait to try next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at El Norte last weekend and tried the Camaron al Mojo de Ajo. Wow! The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the garlic flavor was to die for. There was a nice balance to the dish, so it wasn’t too overwhelming. The service was friendly, though we had to remind them a couple of times for drink refills. Overall, El Norte is definitely a place I’ll return to. " (*Curated Review*)

" It’s a cozy place with an authentic vibe to it. I love that they have traditional dishes and modern twists. My favorite is the seafood platter, and it's enough for two! My only gripe was that the music was a bit loud at times. Overall, I do recommend it to anyone looking for good food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried their new spicy shrimp tacos on a recommendation, and they did not disappoint! The spiciness was balanced perfectly with the fresh toppings. My only disappointment was in the seating area, which felt a bit cramped during peak hours. Nevertheless, the food makes it worthwhile, and I'm planning to return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place catches you off guard with how delicious the food is! I arrived without reservations but managed to find a small table. The service was great, and I had the tamales; they were just like how my grandmother made them. If you want authenticity, this is the place to go. Keep it up, El Norte! " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequent El Norte and can't say enough good things about this restaurant. The team feels like family after visiting so often, and their hospitality is unmatched. I usually go for breakfast, and their huevos rancheros is phenomenal. The breakfast menu is as authentic as you'd find anywhere, and the vibe is bustling in a good way. Also, they have karaoke nights, which just adds to the entertainment! " (*Curated Review*)

" The best Mexican restaurant in the area! I usually order their fajitas, and they arrive sizzling at the table, juicy and full of flavor. You do get large portions, so it's great for sharing or really satisfying on your own. The staff are super friendly, making the experience even better! " (*Curated Review*)
