We had quesadillas and the beef burrito. Both were well seasoned with lots of ingredients. We had churros for dessert that were cooked to perfection. Just the right amount of sugar coating as well.

The drinks were good! The tacos had good flavor but the tortillas were a little dry.

El Tres has delicious food and interesting cocktails. I absolutely love their cilantro garlic salsa (I could drink that stuff). Their servers are excellent with just the right amount of checking in on you.

The lighting was very low, and it was difficult to read the menu. Possibly a few battery operated candles would have helped. But other than that, it was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend El Tres. The dining room is beautifully decorated & the vibe is great!

We found the Chimichanga to be excellent, as well as the Quesadila. The mushroom taco on the 4 taco platter I didn't care for, not my cup of tea. The fish and pork taco were excellent, the chicken taco was edible. The service was average, albeit we don't look like your typical big spender/tipper, so I guess it is what it is. The drinks are quite pricey. Overall ambience/experience/food/service? I'd definitely go 4.5/5 and say I would return here.

Came to El Tres on a Friday night for a date, they gave us a really nice spot by the window which I was very pleased with. Helped me impress the girl. Server Nick was nice, he was busier with bigger tables mostly but still gave us enough attention, very down to earth guy. However, the variety tacos were pretty underwhelming for the $23... not very filling and the corn tortillas I was looking forward to were quite stale and tough. The filling in each was really watery and dripped out the other side excessively with each bite, the filling was also lukewarm, either they had been sitting for awhile or the meat wasn't heated to order. My favourite was the Baja Fish Taco, mostly because the fried fish wasn't watery like the other 2 meat tacos, despite the Fish Taco's batter being a little too thick in my opinion. My girl had the Quesadilla's, they were hot and the filling with cheese, meat and peppers was really good, the green dip they came with was a nice touch. Granted Quesadilla's are hard to mess up. Expected a better experience based off their decor and atmosphere being very pleasing, taco's... not so much. Maybe try something on their entree menu?

Been their alot and tonight something was off. The little table on the stairs should not be there. What an aweful spot. Being walked by for every single table. Food took a long time to come out..Queso was warm not hot. Ran out of Margarita glasses and served in 1/2 rock glasses. Wasn't up to par as it usually is. ?♀️

Really good food, huge portions! My partner and I shared an entree and got a main course each, practically rolled out of the restaurant after. Good service with very attentive waiter. Took some time to get the main course, but the service and taste made up for that. Will definitely visit again.

Great time at El Tres! Our server was extremely attentive and friendly. Apps came out fast with perfect time between our main course. The dishes were presented with perfection. Also, be sure to try the Margs - You won't be disappointed!

Was my first time here tonight and will be back. Our server was really awesome and Knowledgeable. The food was 10/10. Highly recommend the empanadas and the chicharonnes.
