" While I appreciate the atmosphere and the welcoming nature of the hosts, I was let down by the overall experience during my last visit. The chips and salsa were great, but my main dish lacked the punch I was looking for; it wasn’t as flavorful as I expected from such highly praised reviews. The service, though, was genuinely lovely and attentive. I think I will give El Norteño another shot, as I know they can do better! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have had the pleasure visiting El Norteño multiple times. Each time, I leave satisfied and happy. The mole sauce on their chicken enchiladas is nothing short of spectacular! The combination of spices truly hits home. I also love the fact that the owner takes the time to visit customers each visit. The service is quick, and the atmosphere lively enough to enjoy a nice meal. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Excellent service and a great dining atmosphere! The owner Loreto was so welcoming and engaging. I ordered the chicken tacos and while they were just okay, the salsa had a lot of kick to it. While I wasn't blown away by my meal, I still appreciated the authenticity of the restaurant and the effort put into serving customers. It’s worth coming back to try other options on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having just moved to Tyler, El Norteño was recommended by a friend, and I was not disappointed! The nachos were loaded with toppings and met all my expectations for authentic taste. The owner’s passion for providing a great dining experience was clear, making it feel like I was welcomed into their family. I can't wait to explore more meals on their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped at El Norteño after reading the buzz about their authentic cuisine. I must say, it lives up to the hype! The carne asada was tasty, and the atmosphere is vibrant. The owner came over to tell me about the dishes, enhancing my experience. I think I've found my new favorite place while in Tyler. Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very nice vegan meal here—well, I mean, I requested it vegan, and they were super accommodating! The service was excellent; I felt genuinely cared for by the staff. The tacos were flavorful and worked nicely with their in-house salsa. The good vibes around the place were palpable, truly a great local spot. I would say it’s a must-try in Tyler. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Norteño is a lovely spot with a welcoming vibe! The owner is as charming as they come, and there's an inviting atmosphere. I tried a combo plate, and while the flavors were decent, I found the portions a little smaller compared to other Mexican places I've been to. The guacamole was fantastic, though! Overall, a nice experience, but not quite perfect. " (*Curated Review*)
