" After hearing so much praise for El Niño, I finally decided to check it out. The first thing that impressed me was how the food was fresh and made to order. I had quesabirria tacos which, while satisfying, could have had more meat inside. I enjoyed the ambiance, though it can get pretty busy and a bit loud. Overall, a solid experience, but there are slight improvements needed in the portioning of the tacos. " (*Curated Review*)

All my friends enjoyed their meals as well. Service was swift and friendly. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a delicious Mexican meal! " (*Curated Review*)
