" First time visiting El Novillero and it was certainly a pleasant experience! The environment is warm and inviting, and I enjoyed the combination plate, which was a good representation of their menu. However, my wife felt her dish could have been seasoned better. Overall, we had a good time and will consider returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was quite excited to finally visit El Novillero, but while the atmosphere and service were lovely, the food did not resonate with my expectations. The salsa tasted canned, and the enchiladas were bland. I would appreciate a more authentic experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)
