" Unfortunately, we had a poor experience this time around. We went on a busy evening, which I understand can affect service speed. However, the food was lukewarm when it arrived, which was surprising given earlier visits. The portion sizes seemed smaller too, something that didn’t align with the prices on the menu. We had to flag down our waiter several times to check on our drinks, which was frustrating. I really hope they work on their consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" I don’t normally write reviews, but my experience at El Centro was so mixed that I felt compelled to share. The food we ordered—tacos and nachos—were decent but sadly not as authentic as I had hoped. They were well-presented, but the flavors did not excite my taste buds. The service was friendly but very slow, and it felt like forever before we received our bill. On a positive note, the margaritas were fantastic! I might give it another try, as I know they can do better. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve dined here a few times now, and consistency is an issue. Some visits are fantastic, with vibrant flavors and attentive service, while others leave me questioning their authenticity. I ordered the fish tacos on my last visit, and they were nearly bland compared to previous experiences. Moreover, services fluctuated between excellent and lacking. Overall, it's a gamble; you may have a fantastic experience or a mediocre one. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to El Centro for Taco Tuesday and was blown away by the selection and quality of the tacos! I tried a couple - the fish taco was great, but the shrimp had a bigger punch of flavor that really stood out. It's a casual vibe, with friendly staff that are happy to help, although it did take a little while to get our drinks served during peak hours. Still, I’d highly recommend it for a laid-back taco night with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Centro with my family for a birthday celebration. The restaurant had a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The service was excellent, with our waiter being extremely attentive without being intrusive. The highlight for me was the enchiladas; they had just the right amount of spice and the flavors were genuinely authentic. However, my only complaint would be that the chips served with the salsa were a bit stale. Overall, a solid experience, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves genuine Mexican flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to try El Centro based on a friend's recommendation, and it didn't disappoint! The fresh salsa they served was incredibly flavorful, and the tacos were just right. It's a lively spot, perfect for a gathering with friends, and the margaritas were lovely as well! The only downside was that the service was a tad slow at times. Nonetheless, it was fun and I'll return for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Centro is the perfect spot for a casual dinner with friends. We loved the shared nachos, which were loaded with toppings and absolutely delicious. The drinks were refreshing and reasonably priced. The energy in the restaurant makes it a fun place, although I wish the service could be more consistent. Overall, a great dining experience, with scrumptious food to boot! " (*Curated Review*)
