" Delicious tacos! It's hard to find authentic Mexican food that feels homemade, but El Trigo nailed it. The lime and cilantro toppings brought everything together. The atmosphere felt friendly and inviting, which made dining there enjoyable. Can't wait to take my friends and family next time, they will love it too! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Trigo is quite the little gem! With such warm service and amazing food, it’s hard to not love this place. I especially enjoyed their specials and everything tasted freshly made. I have finally found a place that reminds me of my childhood’s home-cooked meals. Definitely returning with friends soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" An unassuming restaurant that serves some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever tasted! The sope was practically a platter and the flavors were incredible. I felt like I was back in my grandmother’s kitchen. The only reason I gave it a 4 out of 5 is the space could use a bit of updating. However, I appreciated the homey feel! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough great things about El Trigo! Their menu is filled with authentic deliciousness. The pozole and enchiladas were outstanding. It has a cozy atmosphere and the staff treated us like family. I will be recommending El Trigo to all my friends who love good Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited El Trigo and it was a delightful experience. The food was great, especially the birria! The tortillas certainly stood out as they were handmade.

" What a fantastic find! Stumbled upon El Trigo while looking for a quick lunch. The service was warm and welcoming from the moment I walked in. I ordered the carne asada tacos, and they were so fresh and authentic. Each bite felt like a taste of Mexico. The only downside was the decor, which is quite simple, but honestly, who cares about looks when the food is this good? " (*Curated Review*)

" This little hole-in-the-wall is everything you crave when searching for authentic Mexican food. We had the chilaquiles with meat which were full of flavor and just the right amount of spiciness. Service was friendly and the restaurant has a homey feel. I’d definitely recommend this spot to friends! " (*Curated Review*)
