" Amazing experience! El Trigo feels like home. The staff are like family, and you can taste the love in their cooking. Everything from the chilaquiles to the fish tacos was incredible. If you're looking for true authenticity, look no further. The portions were generous too, which made it even better. Can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about El Trigo, I finally made the trip and wow, it did not disappoint! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with such kindness. I tried the menudo, and it was the best I’ve had outside of family gatherings. The homemade corn tortillas were a revelation! This restaurant might be small, but it's a hidden gem for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time at El Trigo and it was an experience I won't forget! The tacos were delicious, filled high with meat which made every bite satisfying. The service was attentive, and the environment felt warm and homely. A hidden gem indeed, I shall return soon to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Trigo has become my go-to for authentic Mexican food. The homemade tortillas are a game changer. I really enjoyed the enchiladas, but the ambiance isn’t the fanciest. Still, the food quality more than compensates for the setting. I’m eager to try more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Everything about El Trigo is wonderful! The food is exceptionally flavorful, especially the sopes which are huge and satisfyingly filled. The staff were so friendly, they treated us like family. This was my first visit and it won’t be my last! Just what we needed after a long day out. I can’t believe I hadn’t discovered this gem sooner! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
