" My experience was decent but not what I was expecting after hearing all the hype. The food quality was good, with fresh tortillas and a nice steak, but the portion could have been larger for the price. The ambiance was nice, and the service was friendly, but my meal did take longer than anticipated. Although it’s a good spot, I may try another place next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for El Tragadero based on the rave reviews but unfortunately, my experience fell short. The steak was not cooked to my request, and I felt like the flavor was lacking. The homemade tortillas were a great touch, but the overall dining experience felt a bit chaotic. The waiting staff seemed overwhelmed, which may have accounted for the long wait. I’m willing to give it another try though, as I can see the potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible steak at El Tragadero! The ribeye is my go-to dish and never ceases to amaze me with its flavor and tenderness. What really sets this place apart is the fresh tortillas, which complement the meals so well. The servers are polite, but service can be a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, this place is a hidden gem worth discovering again and again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love El Tragadero for its authentic dishes! My family and I have been coming here for years, and we've never had a bad experience. The freshly made tortillas are heavenly, and the carne asada is always tender and well-seasoned. The atmosphere is vibrant and filled with decorations that reflect the rich culture of the region. Definitely bring cash, as they do not accept cards, but to me, it's worth every penny! " (*Curated Review*)

" The epitome of traditional Mexican dining! I couldn't have asked for more authentic steak; the ribeye was exquisite. You can tell they take every detail seriously, right down to the fresh, handmade tortillas brought to your table. The environment is rich with cultural decor that enhances the overall experience. Just be aware that this place might get quite busy, but it's absolutely worth the wait for quality food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience at El Tragadero last night. The ambiance is lively and unique with all the bullfighting memorabilia, and the service started off well but became a bit slow as the restaurant filled up. We ordered the steak and quesadilla; the quesadilla was fantastic, but the steak, while flavorful, was a bit overcooked for my taste. The price is very reasonable for the quality, but the service needs some improvement during busy hours. I'd consider returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tragadero is simply fantastic! The atmosphere is vibrant with bullfighting memorabilia all around, making it a perfect spot for steak lovers. I was particularly impressed with the cooking technique; my ribeye had a wonderful char, and the addition of fresh tortillas made each bite even more pleasurable. They do need to work on their wait times; we waited a bit longer than expected for our food. All in all, I'd recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Mexican steak! " (*Curated Review*)
