" I was excited to try El Refran due to the rave reviews, but my experience fell short. The buffet selection, while decent, lacked some of the classic Mexican dishes I was hoping for. The service was commendable, though, as our waitress was attentive. If you're looking for Tex-Mex options, you might not find what you want here. I likely won't return as my expectations for authentic flavors weren't met. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Refran consistently serves great Mexican dishes. The buffet selection is fresh and has something for everyone. The staff were friendly and attentive, but the desserts were a little underwhelming this time around. Overall, a satisfying meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Refran has officially become my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area! The buffet has so many delicious options. I absolutely love the tacos and the churros! Great prices and friendly service make this a must-visit place. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to El Refran was quite the mixed bag. While the food tasted wonderful and had authentic Mexican flavors, I felt overwhelmed by the noise level in the restaurant. It was difficult for me to have a conversation at my table. On the plus side, the service was excellent; my server was quick and attentive. I recommend coming during off-peak hours for a more pleasant dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about El Refran. From their homemade tortillas to the incredible flavors, every visit has been a delight. The place is clean and well-organized, and the staff are always accommodating. I'd highly recommend coming here when you're craving hearty and delicious Mexican food! " (*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*)

" Had a wonderful experience at El Refran! The buffet had everything from tacos to soups, and all were freshly made. I enjoyed the variety and the authenticity of the dishes offered. The waitstaff was attentive, ensuring drinks were filled and tables were clean. Overall, it's a great place to treat yourself to a Mexican feast! " (*Curated Review*)
