The Review

Meek: 🥨 🥨 🥨 🥨

I give El Poquito four pretzels. The non-alcoholic passion fruit lemonade was a delightful choice, offering a light and fruity twist. The ambiance is on point with well-lit, cozy igloo-shaped tents, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, especially for outdoor dining during the current pandemic situation. It would have been a perfect experience if it weren't for the lack of tissue in the bathroom. Nonetheless, it was a great overall experience!

Justin, the manager who wasn't our waiter, went above and beyond to help us get an additional heater to combat the cold weather. Ivy provided excellent service and was incredibly accommodating when I needed assistance with the new mobile ordering system. The nachos are a must-try, and as a first-timer having fajitas, I was thoroughly impressed and will definitely have them again. El Poquito may not catch your attention at first glance, but it's a hidden gem frequented by locals and neighborhood residents.

My first visit to El Pueblito was a pleasant one. Making a reservation through resy.com was convenient and easy, with a specific layout detailing available seating options, whether indoor, outdoor, or igloo. From the moment we walked in, the service was excellent. Manager Justin was very accommodating, providing additional heating when needed, and Ivy efficiently managed multiple tables while giving us the right amount of attention. The QR code payment system may take some getting used to, but they also offer paper menus for easier reading. The Carnitas tacos we shared were tasty, and the Plantanos were especially delicious. Although the meat in the fajitas and beef on the nachos fell slightly short, I would still visit again. That's my three cents (adjusted for inflation)!

The classic margarita at El Poquito was simply perfect. It had a clean and straightforward taste without any unnecessary frills. I thoroughly enjoyed its preparation and will undoubtedly return for more. If you prefer your margaritas the classic way, this is the place to be. Overall, my experience at El Poquito was enjoyable, and I can't wait to make another visit.

The Inflated igloos were the cutest experience ever
