" El Mayor was a hidden gem I stumbled upon recently. The atmosphere was lively, with authentic Mexican music playing softly in the background. I had the burrito, loaded with fillings and a generous portion of salsa verde on top! It was rich and flavorful, living up to my expectations. My only complaint was that the drinks took a little longer than I would have liked, however, the food more than made up for that wait. I left feeling satisfied and sure that I would return soon for another round of deliciousness. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried El Mayor with some colleagues for lunch, and it was quite the treat! The ambiance is casual but comfortable, and I was particularly impressed by the how quickly our meals arrived. I had the pollo loco, which was filling and bursting with flavor. The margaritas were delicious as well, definitely a must-try. The only downside was that there could have been a bit more attention from our server during peak hours, but overall a wonderful lunch experience. I'm looking forward to another visit to explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Stopping by El Mayor was a great decision for lunch! They offer a delightful selection of dishes that really showcase authentic Mexican flavors. I went for the shrimp fajitas, and they were sizzling and delicious. The service was quick and friendly, making the lunch break feel relaxing rather than rushed. The only thing I would like to see improved is the dessert menu; I think it needs more variety. Overall, a lovely experience that makes me want to come back multiple times. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at El Mayor last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our server was knowledgeable and made great recommendations. I ordered the steak tacos, which were well-seasoned and tender. The only downside of the night was a wait for our table, but it was a busy night. Once we were seated, everything flowed well. The overall atmosphere is cheerful and definitely inviting. I suggest checking out their drink specials as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just finished our meal at El Mayor, and we are already talking about our next visit! The food was bursting with flavor, especially the guacamole, and the atmosphere was lively yet relaxed. We had a family dinner and everyone left happy! Our server made us feel welcome, and the pricing was reasonable for the quality we received. Highly recommend it for families looking for authentic tastes in a fun environment. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved our visit to El Mayor! The moment we stepped in, we were treated like family. The interior is filled with vibrant colors and decorations that reflect Mexican culture beautifully. My husband had the taquitos, loaded with toppings, and he raved about them all night! I couldn't get enough of the chips served with fresh salsa. It was the perfect starter before our main dishes, which were equally satisfying. Service was attentive, and the prices, very reasonable for what you get. Looking forward to returning soon and bringing friends along! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Mayor for the first time and had a pleasant experience overall. The food was good, particularly the tacos which had a sufficient amount of filling. The service could use some improvement; our server seemed a little overwhelmed during the lunch rush. The place was well-kept and had a bright, cheerful ambiance. I loved the chips—freshly made and accompanied by varied salsas. While I may not have been blown away, I’m keen to give it another shot, hoping for an even better experience next time.
