I will definitely be back soon for another round! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Refran offers a buffet with a nice variety. While some dishes were flavorful, I found others lacking in taste. The service was friendly, but I felt a bit rushed as I was there during a busy hour. Overall, I had a decent meal but didn’t leave feeling particularly impressed. I might return on a less busy day to see if the experience changes. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Refran is a fantastic fast-casual dining option! On my visit, I made a big plate and went back for seconds. The food was fresh, flavor-packed, and absolutely authentic. The chicken mole was a tad on the sweeter side for my taste, but still delicious. I could enjoy my meal while seated in a pleasant environment, and the employees were there when I needed assistance. I can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
